He says that he focus more on the "positive things in life", and is grateful for how "wonderfully" he is treated.
"I think of the up things in life. Moves? I love them. Music? Yes, always key to enjoyment. Dancing? I still dance with my daughter and son," he said.
"I get to travel to place like this and be treated wonderfully. I was made so welcome with people who show genuine warmth," he added.
