Seafarer From the Past

Ex. Seafarer 
As a former seafarer, I have been to most countries that 
have a harbour, but I have not been to Nepal or Tibet and
I have never wished to meet the great Lama a man wearing 
handmade boots. Once in Japan I went to the movie and 
heard John Wayne speaking Japanese, I laughed out loud 
and was politely asked to leave.
There was a time when I thought of settling in Costa Rica
but it didn’t work out a love story gone awry; no not so
it was too far from Europe and there was much more to see.
I lived in the industrial belt of North/west of England for
a time and never got used to the social life of pubs, where
it appeared to me people took pride of being   ignorant. 
I live in Portugal now, we sometimes drive to the coast and
ogle the tourists who pay too much for everything.
