Whitewash in the South Seas and a German Christmas
A humorous, fragmented collection of anecdotes and reflections includes a satire on school uniforms and education, a tale of political banter on the Potomac, and a vivid account of whitewashing as cosmetic in the South Seas. It also recounts how Germans celebrate Christmas with trees, music, and churchgoing while balancing rationalism.
