Hi All
I'm a new member here but I've been living in Vietnam for 5 years. I'm a Seaman and although I haven't lived in any other places but around the UK, England, Scotland and Wales, I have travelled to the four corners of the Earth for the last 42 years. I didn't have a great schooling but I have gathered and immense wealth of knowledge and experience in the course of my travels which has seen me rise through the ranks to the top of my profession. I will endeavor to become an active, creative and useful member of this blog and I will try to give honest unbiased advice when people ask for it.
My hobbies include photography and music. I like all kinds of music from Classical to Rock and mostly everything in between. I was a keen yachtsman when in Europe but the opportunities here are limited (so far).
My user name The Long Man comes from a hillside chalk figure in my home county of East Sussex in England. No one is quite sure hold old he is and the theories range from Neolithic to Victorian. I like to think he is from the stone age and the weight of evidence points to that. He is a symbol of my roots and whenever I returned from my travels I would see him and know I was truly home.
