Honey Cake!

on 10/3/07, Carolyn posted:

Ok, so I just got back from the Czech Republic a little over a week ago, and I have been dreaming of Medovnik ever since. It’s this layered cake that has this yummy, smushy layer of frosting between each layer of cake. It might as well be pure opium instead of frosting. I cant even describe how fantastically tasty this cake is, and I h... Read More (2 Comments)

Immunizations.

on 8/21/07, Carolyn posted:

Do I look like the sort of person who is made of money? Umm no. I eat at places like Denny’s and think its a classy night.
Apparently, my doctor must have thought the opposite when I moseyed on into the clinic to get my immunizations for my trip to India.

I had called about a month prior to my trip to inquire how many o... Read More (0 Comments)

Awesomely Bad Flight To Tokyo

on 8/14/07, Carolyn posted:

Once upon a time, a year ago, I was flying to Japan. I was flying the nonstop from Chicago to Tokyo with my husband. Somehow I got stuck in the middle seat, (and anyone who has read any of my other blogs about middle seats will know how great I thought this was) while Ed got the aisle. At the last minute, this guy came barrelling down the ai... Read More (2 Comments)

Along with fantastic things to drink, fantastic things to eat definitely MAKE a trip!

Here’s a, relatively, short list of some of my fav’s!

Drinks Around the World!

on 8/11/07, Carolyn posted:

Last year, on holiday to Thailand with my husband (who is deathy afraid of flying and travelling, go figure), we discoverd Singah Beer. We discovered that, for next to nothing, it could be brought directly into our waiting hands, as we lay by the side of the pool at our hotel after our first very long, very hot day in Bangkok. My husband, Ed... Read More (3 Comments)

A list of gross things Ive seen in India

on 8/7/07, Carolyn posted:

I had expected India to push the very edges of my personal bubble to the absolute max. But, during my time there, I saw some pretty intensely gross and bizarre things most of which made me collapse into giggles.
Here’s my list of oddities in India:

Dolphins in the Ganges. They’re black, and they’re blind, an... Read More (1 Comments)

This is the road that never ends....

on 8/7/07, Carolyn posted:

Another excerpt from my India travel journal:

Once I arrived into Varanasi, everything I thought about the level of “crowded-ness” in India was automatically multiplied by a thousand. People in every nook and cranny, every small alleyway, every street. I have never SEEN so many people. There we... Read More (2 Comments)

Traffic sure is a killer...:)

on 5/16/07, Carolyn posted:

Welcome to a brand new world. “Wow” is all I can think. I’ve never seen anything like this place. Walking off of the airplane, I’ve decided upon two things. One is that no country should be this hot and sticky at 10pm, and the other is that if I ever want to commit suicide that I will come back to India and try to get... Read More (0 Comments)
