red and white, ribbon, wax seal. All those were there.
Not sure I have seen the bottle, at least to know... but I hear you
saying it isn't all that easy to tell... other than the general if it's
too good to be true it probably isn't....
At the time China was offering many loss leaders to get
us hooked, which we are, and not much that that president
person can do about it.
An interesting and enviable (perhaps) life.
More akin to yours than it is to mine... :) I do, regularly, get the feeling that I'm the hen that hatched a duckling... (G)
Or an eagle.
That could be a possibility, too....
I mentioned that to him yesterday, and he laughed and said that was
pretty accurate.... (G)
Heh, there are probably aspects of both.
Apparently in the world of boats/ships, the certifications are pretty
much standardized across the world, wherever you go to get them... He's favored South Africa for its relative inexpensiveness and a good balance of theoretical and practical instruction...
There must be whispers among the ranks as to where

Apparently.... :)
It's a brave new world.
Though the British expats are having a really tough
time of it and are beginning to cause a ruckus. Ian
and Jacquie I believe have French nationality now, so
they're not sweating as much.
That's fortunate... RJ finally gave up on pursuing that (at least for
now) because it was just dragging on forever, spinning wheels, and
costing ever more money for no progress....
It might be easier to find a marginal EU country
like Slovenia and just pay a modest bribe.
Apparently he's making some progress in Turkey.... especially with
having now a Turkish family to be part of....
Problem being that Turkey may not always provide the
appropriate opportunities and protections. The full
members of the EU, maybe not either, but it'll last
a lot longer than most other havens, perhaps even us.
