Mmm, grasshoppers Hi Pete,
Love the blog. I like that you include a bit of history and a lot about food (naturally).
I tried deepfried crickets and a chocolate coated scorpion once; I liked the scorpion best.
You're so lucky to have travelled to so many great places!

A bulldog licking pee off a nettle! Thanks for that image...it really made us laugh. We will do anything to avoid the tequila shot exactly for the bulldog impression afterwards.
Those tacos look amazing, bet they would have soaked up any stray tequila. Teotihuacan after tequila shots, you are brave than we are ;)
Interesting blog! The caste system in India is not really strictly followed right now. You don\'t hear people mentioning it often. India\'s changed! But not completely though You would find south India a different place, especially our food! It is a voltage stabilizer which is used commonly for the AC. The power supply is not very reliable here, so it is almost a necessity.
Its a Voltage regulator. It stabilises the spikes in voltages and prevents damages to electrical appliances. By the way, your blog is extremely well written and about the caste system, instead of generalising i think its a problem persisting only in some parts of India. In many cities or villages these traditions are done away with.
Voltage Regulator? Looks like you gadget in the hotel is a voltage regulator...probably since the electricity there is pretty sketchy: http://www.logicstat.com/automatic_voltage_stabilizer/automatic_voltage_stabilizer.htm
Raj Mandir Your blog brings back memories of my visit to the Raj Mandir in 2004 where I witnessed "Veer-Zaara" complete with cheering, applauding and no subtitles - one of the my most enjoyable cinemas experiences ever! And you are correct, kissing in Bollywood movies is severely frowned upon, but dancing pelvic thrusts are considered fine. Thanks for posting such an interesting blog!
Andrew Zimmern's guide in Sulawesi... ...said the fruit smells like a white man's armpit. Seriously! I would still like to try the fruit. Thank you for the great photo.
Electrician Hey Pete loving the blogs as usual. Shame you didn't get to really explore Australias fine cheeses as they are excellent! Coon and stuff like that is just mass produced rubbish though. Did you realise that 'Tasty' cheese is actually the same as mature english cheddar? Now I am off... for some cheese...
I also heard one of the 7 dummest comments from an amorican Loved your blog. and p.s. although I was one of the 2500 lazy people, I would have paid a fiver for a bacon picchu.

This is an Angel! This is a wonderful Muscovy Duck male. I have these special Birds as pets and they are unique: sensitive, lovable, affectionate, adorable, sweet, too special!!! Many people all over the world take them as pets! There are many sites about them, for exemple "The Muscovy Voice" www.themuscovyvoice.com and others. Very interesting is also thegoosesmother. com, about all kind of Ducks and Geese for pets. Muscovy Ducks FOREVER! I ADORE THEM WITH ALL MY HEARTH!!!!
photos... on the other hand you wouldn't like it if tourists in London took your photo cos you look so 'quaint' or whatever... especially if they have more money than you can ever imagine... you'd probably think, Hmmn, might as well cash in on this if they're gonna do it anyway. If they were rich they'd probably sue you for intellectual property rights or something.
Miles - the Amerindians look similar to Asians cos they crossed into America over the Baring STraits (sp?) yonks ago. Not sure if particular Asians went and the Chinese didn't though...
stunning!! ...and did you know that ass / mule / liger / tigrons etc are sterile? It's cos they end up with wrong number of chromosomes to pair up properly. (I think that's what I remember from reading Bill Bryson!)
agree with your point well, after all i agree with your point.it's seems like to make unconvienence tourism.we love free and relax trip for sure.it's embaracing.sometimes i see in art market, there is only one bule ( the way we call foreigner ) surrounding by ten or more street vendor to sell their stuff in force litle bit.
Capsule PJ's I really enjoyed reading this entry. I have not been to Japan but am thinking of going this summer. I will bookmark your blog. I also want to stay in a Capsule Hotel and now I want to meet Mark!

Great Job! Loved your blog on Japan. It was so funny! Just what I needed to brighten my day. I'm from the US, in Laos now, but heading toward Japan in a few weeks. Sounds like I'm in for a treat. Can you tell me what the name of that capsule hotel was? I'm trying to find something decently priced in Tokyo. Thanks.
your two wives I was wondering how you found 2 women who wanted to marry you and share you. Would you be willing to share with me how that came about? I am married but looking for a second wife.
Thanks.
