RIP Tim Page. Sticking it to authority and power, and documenting the human condition at war. And so generous to me in my research back in 90s. 💥❤️ #TimPage #Vietnam #truthtopower

25 degrees in a basement hotel room.
Me to reception: Hi, I don't think the Aircon works in my room
Reception: It's not Aircon, it's a comfort unit
Me: So, a fan?
Reception: No, it's a comfort unit
Me: I'm uncomfortably hot, so how can it comfort me?
Reception: Leave it on
