I'm in Bridgton ME. My house, in fact. People always have to talk or write about the local foods they eat while traveling. OK. I will, too. Balut is the partially developed duck embryo. I think a duck hatches at 28 days. These are boiled at 17, 18, or 21 days. I'm told with the 21 day old eggs one can actually feel the developing bones. Mmmm, crunchy! Visited Countries Map You may have seen this on Fear Factor a few years ago... I have been to the Philippines 6 times and I have come to really enjoy balut.

Because my flight is a reward from Jet Blue I only had to pay the $10 tax. I recently booked a room at a Hotel/Casino for $15 a night for midweek. Hidden $17 fee tho. I don't know why they do that but I'll certainly be reporting on my experience. I have so many Asia Miles now 90000+ and I'm going again on November 30, so that will be another 18000.
