As I step into the room, I scan the crowd but there is no sign of a straw hat. According to Michael Palin, this is how you locate photographer Basil Pao. The hat is his trademark.
An arm shoots up from behind a waiter and I see a tall man in glasses gesturing for me to come over. It is late afternoon and Pao is sitting in the far reaches of the Foreign Correspondents' Club. The straw hat rests on a chair beside him. Pao says he isn?t wearing it because he's not allowed to in the Club.
Hong Kong-born Pao, from the island of Cheung Chau, is perhaps best known for his epic adventures with Michael Palin as his stills photographer on the BBC filming teams that made his travel shows.
