I was swimming at a hotel beach in Egypt, just floating on my back out deep for a while when suddenly there was this guy beside me asking if I would teach him how to do that.

I don't remember what I said, basically just brushed him off.

Later on, back on the beach, this guy tried again to strike up a conversation and he told me that he was from Kuwait. (This was in 1993). I told him that I was from Canada, and he said, "Oh, we love Canada because of all your help in our war. I'd like to help you. Why don't you come to my room?"
