A (formerly) Far East located web site devoted to The Resistance, discussion of all things political, travel, women, golf, women,adventure, and did I mention women?
I could not help observing during the visit of the Orange Monster to the mother country, how a certain segment of the American population is so blind to the realities of the world that was created in the wake of World War II. And I am talking specifically of that

One of the remarkable things of my 8 years here in Europe is how I have become enthralled in the competitions that Americans don’t get to see. For example in 2012, the S.O. and I got deeply into the EURO 2012 football ( soccer) tournament. Same with 2016 – and

To Mayrhofen, Austria that is. The S.O. and I are probably long past any point in life where we could even hope to do something reckless exciting like run with the bulls at Pamplona. So this past weekend, we settled for the next best thing. We drove down to Mayrhofen

During the last week of August and over the holiday in September, the S.O. and I traveled to the island of Corsica, or Haute Corse, as the French refer to it. We had wanted to go someplace different and we wanted to be on the Mediterranean Sea. Corsica delivered for
