Safety Tips
Some of Akira's family was just in town, so we went to Victoria, British Columbia. A brisk ferry delivered us to the lavish gardens and tea rooms of this part of Canada, where we lounged for three sun-sprinkled afternoons.
Guys in kilts manned the floors at our hotel.
They must have all been about 22, with pressed shirts and nice smiles. Both nights we got to hear their bagpipes in the lawn outside our window. (What is the deal with the bagpipes, lads? We heard them in Edinburgh, too, but wasn't that in a cheeky, check-out-our-culture, lassies kind of way?)
Not to dig on the Scotland-themed hotel. Great service, and helpful. In a green three-ring binder on our desk was a foldout page with safety tips. Do not invite strangers into your room, for example. Do not display large amounts of cash or jewelry. And remember, do not enter a room that is ajar.
