Oh dear Roger,
ReplyDeleteYou left Singapore without saying goodbye. Take care. And don't forget to seek my sister who is a belly-dancer at Ahmet's Cafe in central Cairo.

Thanks for the info. Your sister is very beautiful. Her belly-dancing is fantastic. Can I marry her? Tell her I'm still fit though I'm an orang tua!
