Re: tipping culture:
Japan-No tipping, viewed as an insult
Switzerland: salaries so good waiters don't have to smile and ingratiate themselves with you
-Britain- cab divers left speechless with a one pound tip
-US: thought waiters were my friends until the penny dropped

An emerging cinematic trope- young black men re-awakening the sexuality of middle aged white English women #TedLasso #EmpireofLight #here 'stoYou,LeoGrande- It seems to me these young black men are being treated and viewed as being more adult than their male, white age mates- so many questions

My head is full and buzzing with all things archaeological because of Tomas, my Swiss archeologist, and an act of violence on a dig that changes his life and that of his partner.

On the other hand, a visit to the Museo del Oro left me deeply unsettled. All I could think of was all the blood that had been shed in the conquest of all that gold

Irene Sabatini @IreneSabatiniI visited San Augustin and Tierradentro in Colombia in the 90s and the immensity and gravity of those statues in the forest, the temples and tombs was breathtaking, full of meaning, humbling- not stripped of their geographical, historical, cultural, spiritual context- in their rightful place.10:17 AM - Mar 20, 2023

Honestly, if you believe in monarchy in the year of 2023 I seriously think you need an intervention- dukes and duchesses, prince and princesses, kings and queens, seriously??? I support Harry and Meghan because of their love story, because they want to do good in the world.

There are 2 types of tabloid articles about Harry and Meghan: 1- they have been clearly briefed by the palaces on a story and the angle they should take; 2: they are simply sh*t-stirring using click bait nonsense articles.Knowing this, proceed with caution- agendas and narratives are being set..

Since I am on a wildlife reporting spree let me entertain you with this highly embarrassing blooper from my 'Peace and Conflct'- how it got through various edits and myself is a mystery- hoping for a second edition for corrections!

At a lunch with a white Zimbabwean I vigorously defended Harry's 'African Parks'- many feel he is infringing on their territory; they see him as that British prince - what I like about Harry's approach is conservation involving the local community, and I hope that is truly so, and not a gimmick.

Irene Sabatini @IreneSabatiniUrgh...now let's talk about how the early colonizers decimated wildlife through big game hunting...get really annoyed by this propaganda that Africans do not appreciate and know how to take care of their resources when these resources have been vandalized by so called conservationists...07:53 PM - Mar 17, 2023

One of the most exciting things as an author is when you get delivery from your publisher of your book (Feb, 2020), and published in March at the onset of the pandemic- I could not travel to London to promote 'An Act of Defiance'- but this moment remains very special to me #WritingCommunity

I thought it was 'a gift'? I guess it's a question of 'step by step'- we'll get to the reparation's stage....eventually.

And the uber successful 'Spare' took away any ammunition the tabloid press might have thought they had over him. Be afraid, very afraid!

Prince Harry to Appear in Person in Phone Hacking Court Case as ‘Teflon Piers’ Faces ‘Both Barrels’ – Byline Times
The first senior British Royal to ever enter the witness box in the High Court will allege Piers Morgan oversaw a conspiracy of newsroom criminality at the Daily Mirror, reveals Dan Evans

Meghan gets grief (left and right) for marrying the love of her life. 'She knew what she was getting into'- knew what exactly? My take: she could not have imagined that a 'system' that had managed to produce a decent man as Harry was in fact a horror show- that Harry was the exception, the outlier.

New York has become my city. Many milestones: a highlight- my fiftieth birthday which served up both Hamilton and an awesome dinner with two great writers, Siri Hustvedt and Paul Auster...and when the pandemic was at its height I lived in this great, resilient city- you can read about it here-
