The Mansion
Mar 22nd, 2009 by benpatton
Dear Uncle Sam,
I put together a little virtual tour of my new home in Cebu, Philippines.
Well, not just MY home. I share it with the the Count and Countess, our dear friend Alexander (a great German actor), his brilliant wife Connie, a very successful German entrepreneur named Jan, a model named Romeo, and an Iranian prince (no kidding) named Khashayar who is also a gifted filmmaker (he did a celebrated segment for Oprah recently).
In putting together this little slideshow today I omitted a few rooms, the resident’s of which were not around to give me permission to snoop. Also omitted is our kitchen, which is unfinished and in no state for the internet, and the quarters where our *gasp* HOUSEKEEPERS live.
One interesting detail is that the house (which once belonged to the Governor, we’re told) contains one quite small, quite empty secret room, with a corresponding secret stairway beneath it, which we’ve yet to see, as it’s boarded up.
I think it would make a hell of a game of “Clue”. Was it Colonel Muller in the study with the tuning fork? Or perhaps Professor Patton, in the dining room, with the B-flat half diminished?
Enjoy the video. And remember, if you want your children to grow up to have a life as fabulous as mine, encourage them to drop out of school.
Incidentally, the music is From the “Mikado” by Gilbert and Sullivan - “If You Want To Know Who We are”.
