A Dinner in the Swimming Pool

Once, I was on an official tour to Bangkok along with my other colleagues: as we were having dinner by the swimming pool in our hotel, one of my colleagues, while standing and chatting with others besides the pool, did not realise he was already at the edge, and took a step backwards and fell in the water. His dish sank to the bottom and plenty of food came floating up to the water. The gentleman, not a swimmer himself, was struggling to remain on the surface. One of the hotel employees jumped into the pool and rescued him. Soaked and embarrassed, my colleague immediately rushed to his room. When he came back, he told us that his passport had been in his pocket, and now he was worried and sought advice from others on how to dry it. Someone from the group, advised him to dry in the microwave; just a few minutes, and it would be back to shape, he said in jest. But he took the advice seriously, and when he took it out from the microwave, his passport looked like a tennis ball; as a result, he could not come back to Pakistan with us and had to stay behind until the embassy issued him a new passport. He may not have enjoyed a good reputation at home because when his wife was informed about the episode, she did not believe it and took it as an excuse for him staying some extra days alone in Bangkok.

    Whats up this is somewhat of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use
    WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with
    HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding knowledge so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience.

    I have to show some appreciation to this writer for rescuing me from this issue.
    As a result of surfing around throughout the the net and coming across things that were not
    powerful, I believed my entire life was gone. Existing minus the strategies
    to the difficulties you have resolved by way of your report is a critical case, and those which could have in a negative way damaged my entire career if I had not noticed your site.
    Your own knowledge and kindness in maneuvering the whole lot was
    helpful. I am not sure what I would’ve done if I hadn’t discovered
    such a thing like this. I can also now look ahead to my
    future. Thanks so much for the expert and sensible help.
    I will not be reluctant to endorse the blog to anyone who requires guidelines about
    this situation.

    I’m going to start my own blog soon but I’m having a hard time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
