To the Orient he flew. Again.: May 2010
http://ramblindave.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
To the Orient he flew. Again. In which Dave is back in the land of palm trees and 7-11s. Friday, May 28, 2010. On leaving and returning. Yes, I'll be back again no matter where I go. For it's only love that frees the fire for burning. Then I'll take you in my arms and tell you all I know. As I sing the changing song of my returning. I wasn't then and I'm not now, but I suppose it's a fair question. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Friends and other personal sites.

To the Orient he flew. Again.: January 2010
http://ramblindave.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
To the Orient he flew. Again. In which Dave is back in the land of palm trees and 7-11s. Friday, January 29, 2010. Comments welcome, but. I'm sorry to have to do this. I'm even more sorry that some people think anybody who cares deeply about much of anything is "angry". I admit that I was rather naive to write about the politics of abortion and not expect to be insulted in response. That's the Internet for you. In any case, comments are still welcome and encouraged - just play nice! Emphasis added, becau...

To the Orient he flew. Again. In which Dave is back in the land of palm trees and 7-11s. Monday, March 15, 2010. I renewed my passport back in Luxembourg in early 2008, so there was no risk of my having to explain my work visas from Taiwan.) All I saw of Shanghai that first night beyond the airport was our hotel. It was a nice hotel, though! This was accompanied by Tsing-Tao, served in cans with the old fashioned pull-tabs that come all the way off - who knew those were even still made anywhere? It wasn'...

To the Orient he flew. Again. In which Dave is back in the land of palm trees and 7-11s. Thursday, April 15, 2010. An ordinary couple is all we'll ever be. I've always said if the woman in question had a problem with that, then she probably wasn't right for me anyhow. One out of two ain't bad, in this case anyway. I don't think we want to know! And, as noted, no getting down on one knee. One of her predecessors once got rather upset at me because I'd collected the wrong number of Sweet and Lows for her c...

To the Orient he flew. Again. In which Dave is back in the land of palm trees and 7-11s. Tuesday, August 11, 2009. Keep your government hands off my Medicare" is an oldie but a goodie.but is it the dumbest soundbite yet in the health care debate? I give to you:. People such as scientist Stephen Hawking wouldn't have a chance in the U.K., where the National Health Service would say the life of this brilliant man, because of his physical handicaps, is essentially worthless. Thursday, August 6, 2009. Worth ...

To the Orient he flew. Again.: June 2009

To the Orient he flew. Again. In which Dave is back in the land of palm trees and 7-11s. Friday, June 26, 2009. Well, I didn't expect that to be the next way he got his name in the news. Like a lot of people my age,. Sunday, June 14, 2009. Overheard in a bookstore. From a few students who apparently aren't poli-sci majors. One of them saw a Francis Fukuyama book and misread the author's name before realizing that's what it was."Oh, I thought it said 'France Is F* k-a-yama'.". Monday, June 1, 2009. Be cry...

To the Orient he flew. Again. In which Dave is back in the land of palm trees and 7-11s. Monday, December 14, 2009. The mother of all business trips, or As long as I'm moving. Whatever the drawbacks, San Francisco is one of my favorite cities, I've never been to Las Vegas, and I haven't been "home" in over three years. So this was quite the early Christmas present. Stay tuned for more details. Wednesday, December 9, 2009. Just what are the Christmas-in-the-tropics blues? Yeah, I know this is one of the m...

To the Orient he flew. Again.: I (almost) ate the stinky tofu
http://ramblindave.blogspot.com/2004/05/i-almost-ate-stinky-tofu.html
To the Orient he flew. Again. In which Dave is back in the land of palm trees and 7-11s. Thursday, May 13, 2004. I (almost) ate the stinky tofu. Thursday night is Night Market night in Longtan. The name is pretty self-explanatory. Local merchants come and line the sides of a particular street with their wares, always including a lot of exotic food - exotic for the North Americans in town, anyway. And it wouldn't be a legitimate Taiwanese food fest without stinky tofu. I don't see the appeal, Dave.".

To the Orient he flew. Again. In which Dave is back in the land of palm trees and 7-11s. Thursday, October 29, 2009. And Starbucks has its Christmas drinks out. I'm rejoicing at the availability of Peppermint Latte once again, of course. But still, it's not even November yet! It did give me a good idea for a marketing gimmick for the company. I'm going to see about setting up a registration drive at my favorite mall in the near future. Monday, October 26, 2009. Bowling" for the right to call it that.
