This is Singarum. He is one of the guards here at our apartment. We call him Happy Jim. He has always got a smile on his face and a wave for us as we come home or head out the gate. He speaks little or no English. We always say Hi to him and ask "How are you Singarum ?" Victor has tried to teach him how to respond. So now he responds with "Very well Madame" or quite often its "Very welcome Madame" this always gives us a giggle and even Victor finds it amusing.

Whenever I get the camera out, there's my friend Singarum trying to get in the shot. He wants me to get him some copies of the pictures I take of him, I haven't quite tackled the photo store yet, may-be next week.

Poor little Mac is the center of attention when we venture down to the swings and the guards love to play with him. Mac is slowly getting used to them and will now let Singarum pick him up for a spin around.
