London Calling, With Turkey Day in a Glass

Posted by David Paul Appell on November 16, 2009 at 9:00pm

I rediscovered just last week how lousy with Yanks is Britain's capital; at a Chinese joint in Earl's Court (a nabe of particularly high infestation) called Dragon's Palace, I felt like getting up and shouting, "OK, is anyone here not from the States?"

Trippin' in Thailand

Posted by Ted Alan Stedman on October 24, 2009 at 2:11am
Bangkok's chaos was nearly unequaled. It's rainy season now and the simple act of breathing is like trying to pull air through a wet wool blanket. But as I've made my way north, the climate has changed as well as the cultural temperment. In Pang Soong, I found a spiritually centered mountain village buried in the jungle at 4,000 feet.
