You can’t ride a tram
in Vietnam
or a trolley bus
in Belarus,
but you can hire a van
in Azerbaijan
and a luxury car
in the state of Qatar.

idiosyncratic observations on life,
the world
and everything in between

about me
- Dennis Hodgson
- I'm an ex-geologist, an ex-Outward Bound instructor and administrator, an ex-journalist, and an ex-book editor. I still consider myself a scientist. I'm now retired and spend seven months of each year in Fanling, a town in Hong Kong's New Territories, and five months in Penrith, my home town in England.

Although many people regard graffiti as just another form of vandalism, I’m a huge fan and consider it a valid art form. The Writing on the Fence, which I recorded in Manchester in 2018, underlines my view.
