My favourite Pierce Brosnan quote, when he was asked if he had any advice for young actors he said "moisturize"
Marcel Marceau
Marcel Marceau (French pronunciation: [maʁsɛl maʁso]; born Marcel Mangel; 22 March 1923 – 22 September 2007) was a French actor and mime artist most famous for his stage persona, "Bip the Clown". He referred to mime as the "art of silence" and he performed professionally worldwide for over 60 years.

Something that causes much mirth among acquaintances is that the first time I ever went to the theatre was to see mime artist Marcel Marceau. It’s the truth, and I loved it. He was at the top of his game. But just for clarity, I have never intentionally performed a mime

Standing 26.3 metres (86 ft) high and 49.15 metres (161.3 ft) wide, it is the largest Baroque fountain in the city and one of the most famous fountains in the world.

I could go on endlessly about various painters and sculptors I love, but the first time I turned a corner there was the Fontana Di Trevi. Well, it landed in my heart and I know why so many make the pilgrimage to see it daily, routinely, over lifetimes. I love that it is so public and yet so sequestered, that it is lit and available 23 hours every day. I keep my promise to Rome whenever I visit and go and see it.
Phuket Province
Seventy percent of Phuket's area is covered with mountains which stretch from north to south. The remaining 30 percent are plains in the central and eastern parts of the island. It has a total of nine brooks and creeks but does not have any major rivers.

Go and look at Phuket. I’m sure the rest of the country has amazing experiences to share too, but at this point I think Sandbox Quarantine for vaccinated travelers only applies to Phuket.
