My husband is a lucky man for a number of reasons (I like to think), but one of the most recent reasons is that he has been working in Timor-Leste for the last few weeks so has been able to do a bit of travelling (even though he’d have me believe he spent most of the time working).
Unfortunately, as he is social media’s number one enemy there is no chance of a blog entry from him, but he did manage to take a few photos – after I’d snuck a camera into his suitcase and then sent him a stern email warning him what would happen if he didn’t use it.
So here are a few reluctant photos with his ‘helpful’ commentary from Dili in Timor-Leste, and then Bali in Indonesia, where he was apparently forced by his boss to stop-over on the way back to Cambodia for some task or other (I told you he’s lucky).
Husband’s commentary “that’s a street in Dili.” |
| and “that’s the sea.” |
 |
| “They are boats by the sea.” |
 |
| “That’s the beach.” |
 |
| “Cocktail bar. Nice!” |
 |
| “That’s the sea again.” |
 |
| “Sunset.” |
 |
| “A martini and a memory stick. Long story” |
So there you have it. A wonderfully thoughtful and detailed description of Timor-Leste and Bali in the insightful words of my verbally-challenged husband. Who said some men have difficulty communicating?

Hilarious post! Fun to read. And he made up with the pictures where he failed in describing them. 😉

Awesome post. Intriguing headline and so funny reading your husband’s commentary. Guess this explains why there are so many more female bloggers!
Thanks Arianwen. I read somewhere that women talk three times as much as men. I think I have just proven that thesis, but am surprised it is not more actually. 🙂
I love the comments that follow your photos in this one ;-D Thanks for making me laugh!
