    Yes, the orange makes the difference...
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

    I am off on my hols to Thailand, formerly known as the Land of Smiles, soon. I will let you know if I can track down a tasty croc au vin in one of the swanky French restaurants in the Exploding Chicken aka Bangkok.

    How do you get those on your feet?
    Here lies the body of Mary Lee; died at the age of a hundred and three. For fifteen years she kept her virginity; not a bad record for this vicinity.

    Cause it's a subtropical paradise with some of the greatest beaches in the world. The people are extraordinarlily friendly and welcoming. They have an ancient history and culture that dates back thousands of years and you make a killing on the exchange rate between the Bhatt, the Euro/BP/Dollar.

    Unfortunately the exchange rate was great but it is now no longer the case. Three years ago I could get 65+ baht to the pound, now it is nearer 46 at the moment. Due to all the recent troubles though, hotels are dropping their prices to get the tourists back.

    Considering the cost of living in Thailand.....that's still not a bad exchange rate. When I went to the Phils my biggest cost, besides traveling there, was hotel expenses. Other then that it was cheap, cheap, cheap. I bought about $500 worth of clothes and shipped them back to teh US for less then $100.

    Maybe I will send you some thousand year eggs from the Chatuchak Weekend Market. They are duck eggs that are covered in straw and stored underground for six months (the traditional recipe has them soaked in horses’ urine before burial). The yolk becomes green, and the white becomes jelly. Do you think that they would get through Customs?
