Tuesday, 29 May 2007. Is there anything better than a cook at your table. This entry is a shout out to the many people who have shared a Korean BBQ, Shabu. Or Sukiyaki with me over the years. This is a Laos. BBQ with Buffalo. The Buffalo, which is like a sweeter version of beef, and therefore perfectly suited to the BBQ, is cooked on the open grill at the top, Korean. BBQ style, and the veggies are cooked in the broth, Shabu. In fact, I think I'll have this again tonight! Links to this post. Links to thi...

Tuesday, 26 June 2007. Does this look like a reputable place to get a shave with a cut-throat razor? Yeah, I thought so too. What you see is the entirety. Of this barber shop, or "Hot Toc. In Vietnamese. This is fairly common - virtually all of them are like this - a cute roadside establishment with a single chirpy guy who does the deed. So, now for the before photo:. I particularly like the little girl in the bottom right of this photo. Clearly she's quite intrigued. By these two happy folks. When ridin...

http://blakecthomas.blogspot.com/2007/09/nasty-wine.html
Saturday, 8 September 2007. Okay, China isn't famous for wine, but I was still surprised to see this 'Nasty' wine while in a shop the other day. Okay, so you might have guessed that this is actually short for 'Dynasty', but still the initial impression is lasting! Giving into curiosity, Ros and I decided to try one of their 'Dry Reds' (12% alcohol) - this is the bottle below. Let me enlarge the text at the bottom for you:. Yes, that's right people "Constantly drinking this wine is good for your health!

Details... Details...: Size Matters
http://blakecthomas.blogspot.com/2007/09/size-matters.html
Friday, 7 September 2007. For some reason size matters. Why is it that I love the small to medium cities, but find it hard to 'find my space' in the bigger cities? If I was a country boy, perhaps there would be some context, but I'm not. I've always lived in cities, generally always travelled to cities, and have never really had much urge to live outside a big metropolis. After pondering this, especially. In China, where I found the contrast so strong, I came up with these possible reasons:. I love seein...

Thursday, 19 April 2007. The way of the crabs. Have you ever just sat on a beach and watched how alive it is? I found myself with lots of time to kill, just lying on the beach and examining its inhabitants. In addition to the large array. Of random dogs (they are everywhere in Thailand), I considered myself lucky enough to spot over 10 hermit crabs in just 15 minutes. I don't know about anyone else, but I'd always considered hermit crabs to be a bit of a rarity - I'd only ever seen one hermit. This is wh...
