Pointless but I have no one else to share this with.

As part of the company Cultural Enrichment Festival there is an Andean flute player in the lobby. It is good to know that we will not be attacked by guinea pigs.

There was an Andean Pan flute player in front of Seoul’s train station for several years. Guess I know where he went off to now.
