You could say that poop and coffee are quite related. The color is the primary example that comes to mind, but we all know the after effects of coffee also create a satisfying morning, ahem… toilet session. But the connection ends there; even though some of that office coffee might taste like crap, never would… Continue reading Drinking Bali’s Expensive Poop Coffee

A Vietnam Food Tour: Photos To Make You Drool
I’ll be honest: My expectations for the food in Vietnam weren’t high. Although everyone had raved about it as an incredible place for foodies, my experience with the food had been limited to pho, the simple noodle soup dish that, while delicious, did not inspire in me a hope of brilliantly varied and spiced dishes.… Continue reading A Vietnam Food Tour: Photos To Make You Drool
The Chicken Feet Incident
Just another day in my Asian life. I stopped at the chicken lady’s table in the market near my house and pointed to the raw chicken I wanted.

Seoul Delicious: My First Impressions of South Korea
My bags were too full, so to get through security I had to wear several jackets and stuff pants and shirts into all my pockets. At the Korean airport, my overweight suitcases spilled off my cart into the middle of a crowded walkway and people stepped over me with wayward glances. When the bus dropped… Continue reading Seoul Delicious: My First Impressions of South Korea
