the trick is to get a server to hold the food for you while you shoot the pic. i tried to mimic SAVUER magazine photos in thailand, and they all got shy around me.

man, i can cook those green beans!

I'd tell you, but then you'd have to kill somebody...if you wanted to survive. :eek:

oops, I've said too much. nevermind...nothing to see here...

interesting. a good buddy of mine tried really hard to get me to accompany him to shanghai a week or so from now and stay for a month. he goes to buy stuff that he has shipped back in a container and then sells in large outdoor flea markets around atlanta. i've got too much going right now, but will probably head over with jerr next time. he says the foot massages are the bomb, btw..

On the other hand it could look like this. Looking out of our room on a recent trip to Maui:

Todd, enjoy it over there. Am 6 time zones to the west from your location now. Hope to make it to Bangkok in a few days but who knows!

Sawasdee Ca!

I think I had that same room at the Marriott Maui a few months ago!

I think I was in that same room in Mumbai with the sink water. Guys, that IS the clean water. You should see what comes in when you flush the toilet.
