Aww, how cute. A running track, just what I need after a long haul flight across several time zones. Walkalators are for sissies and couch potatoes.

Except for the token mention of Tokyo (and Mexico City), it is a Western-centric list. I live in the Far East and have been to cities in seven countries in Asia, and I must say that they have their own unique takes on beer culture and pubs.

I counted 15 marked police vehicles and an unmarked white SUV with police lights on the rear window.

I don't see R2-D2. Are you sure it's not just a garden lamp?

I thought the current politically correct term is "cabin crew". "Flight attendant" sounds so 90s.

I'm a dog person so I only got 9/15.

Well, as a connoisseur of Japanese H tentacle flicks, this nudie slip does not even count as salacious.

I never learned to swim. Living in a tropical island which gets a lot of typhoons a year, it sure helps to stay afloat.

What a gorgeous toy. I probably would never put it to use in construction if I had one. It's too damn cute.

I would've added two more animated videos, Nausicaa and Flight of Dragons.

I was in Cabanatuan two weeks ago on business. I wish I could've visited the POW camp (if it is still there).

I lost at least two of my grandfather's brothers to "the Hike": one was executed as a straggler, the other died from exhaustion and disease upon reaching the camp. One of their cousins survived to tell the tale.

I got the 2nd one easy. :)

I am a nonfic reader and I rarely read any book more than twice, except books on modern physics. I may need to read a book on quantum theory, relativity, and big bang theory four times to really absorb the information.

The only fiction book I have read three times is Pride and Prejudice for a high school book report.

I just ate a double down dog for lunch today. It's greasy and very unhealthy. And I like it! I'm sure I'll regret this ten years from now, but I always live for the moment. :p

BTW, I like balut too. It is messy and can be unhealthy (high cholesterol). But don't knock it till you tried it. I've been eating it since I was about four or five years old. Yummy stuff. Next, you'll tell me you think dinuguan (pork's blood soup) is disgusting too!

I'm not worried about GMOs or the "evil" multinational companies (e.g. Monsato) that luddites love to bash. The problem is that they are usually not as tasty as the way more expensive "organic" stuff. Or it could be because of the "earthy", "ethnic" packaging that organic products come in...
