Topical Tuesday #20

Topic :: Do you take food with you on a foreign holiday?

Recently in UK media there have been reports that a large amount of tourists take not only tea bags and coffee but bacon, sausages and other food with them when they go abroad on holiday. And then when on holiday they seek out places to eat that sell the food they are used to in favour of local produce.

When you go on holiday to a foreign country do you like to immerse yourself completely in their culture and eat their food or can you not bare the thought of having to eat the food and take your favourite food with you?

I must say that I have never heard of people taking food with them on vacation to a different country, but I don’t find it to be completely unexpected. Sometimes there are things that people just can’t live without when they are away on vacation whether it is their cell phone, laptop, or even a favourite beverage (especially something as compact and portable as tea bags.) If anything, I am surprised that people were even able to food like sausage and bacon with them on the trip. What about spoilage, and the fact that certain countries do not allow food to be brought in from other countries because of different food codes and standards? Come to think of it, there was a general announcement made on the airplane when I went to Europe about dairy products from overseas. I don’t remember details, but the bottom line was that the codes and standards were different and therefore dairy products were not allowed in the country from abroad.

Since people are generally hesitant to try new foods that might smell or look different than what they are used to, it wouldn’t be out of the ordinary for people to look for something they are familiar with - something that reminds them of home - when they are visiting a foreign country. Personally, I would definitely give the new foods a try and completely immerse myself in the culture I was in. At the same time, I would also be interested to see the “foreign preparation” of the foods that I am familiar with from home, and hear the corresponding opinions about those foods.

Manic Monday #126

1. What’s your favorite beach in the world?
When I was younger, maybe 5 or 6 years old, my parents and I took a cruise to the Bahamas. The beach there was so beautiful, it had the whitest sand and the clearest water of any beach that I have ever seen.

2. What’s the next country you want to visit?
Ireland will probably be my next trip out of country. I would really like to go back to London and Edinburgh sometime in the future, too.

3. What one thing are you craving today?
I would like to go see The Dark Knight again…

Takemi Massage Bed

This Takemi Jade Vista 5000 Massage Bed truly looks like something from the Jetsons - or at least like something you would find in an expensive spa or gym. The Far Infrared light created from advanced helium projector bulbs in this massage bed allow for deep muscle penetration, detoxification, and soothing relief of any kind of body pain. The bed comes with a built-in MP3 player with headphones so you can listen to your favourite music while you get a relaxing massage! How great would it be to have something like this at home? An automatic massage bed would be great to use after a work-out, a long day at work or school.

Saturday: 9

1. What is your favorite thing to do alone?
Play The Sims 2

2. What is your favorite thing to do with your best friend?
Hang out and have a coffee, or hit the boardwalk.

3. What is your favorite band?
Nine Inch Nails since 2001.

4. What is your favorite song?
Currently Passive by A Perfect Circle. The demo version was called “Vacant” and it was supposed to be a Tapeworm song, the band that never really was involving the super-duo M. Keenan and El Rezzo.

5. What is you favorite part of your job?
Currently unemployed, but I will say that the best job that I ever had was at the Halloween store when I had to dress up and stand outside to lure everyone in the store by handing out coupons and wearing fishnets and slutty platform pumps. Those were the days. Not much more longer now until I resume those active duties…

6. What is your favorite TV show that is on now?
I have been into the various CSI and Law and Order spin-offs lately. I generally watch them right before bed, or instead of going to bed and well into the morning hours, and they are almost-always entertaining.

7. What is your favorite TV show of all time?
That’s a tough one, but I think I would have to say The Simpsons. I don’t think there has ever been a bad, or boring, episode; it’s consistently funny and entertaining.

8. Who is your favorite actor?
Currently Heath Ledger, because he was just too amazing for words in The Dark Knight. I thought I was going to be all about Christian Bale, but Heath Ledger totally stole the movie. It was amazing.

9. What is your favorite film?
Currently The Dark Knight. I saw it around 12:30am on Friday morning and I might go see it again tomorrow afternoon.
