dammit. how do you spell ‘parmasan’?

I was in the Dominican Republic for two weeks, and eschewed the use of suntan lotion on the erroneous assumption that since I was Chinese, I wouldn’t burn.

Two days later, and my skin is peeling off my face and shoulders as if I’d been at Hiroshima or something. Pics available on request.

Fast forward to the end of the holiday, and I’m still in some agony. I have the bright spark idea of putting wet tissues on my shoulders just before I board the plane for some relief over the six hour flight back. Forgetting that tissues dry very quickly in a plane. Cut to me trying to peel off said tissues at Manchester Airport toilets, to accompanying whimpers of agony.
