  • Yet Another Snooty Lounge

    Once again, Brian the snooty world traveler, was able to get “back of the bus Tom” into a nice lounge. My personal opinion is it’s not as good as the one in Chicago, but who am I to complain. Free food and drinks, and free wireless internet. 

    Our flight leaves in about an hour and there’s not reason to think it will be delayed at this time. 

    Apparently not too many people know this spacious lounge is here. There were more staff members then travelers. This is just ONE section that I didn’t realize was there until we were ready to leave. 

  • Last Day, Last Edit

    Today will probably be another long edit day, but it is the last day here so no matter what we’re done after today. I’ve been gone on trips longer then this, but for some reason this one just seems a lot longer. I’m pretty home sick and looking forward to returning to Chicago tomorrow.

    You can find the most recent photos added to SmugMug. The guy second from the left seriously thinks you need to check them out. Don’t make him mad. 

  • Exotic Eats

    Not your typical food back in the USA, one popular item here is eating scorpion! Jim Lucy, one of the camera operators (based on Chicago) was challenged to eat them while being recorded on video and he was more then happy to. Also part of this little display of questionable judgment are Mike Wenning (Audio guy from Las Vegas) and Scott Keenan (Director, also from Chicago).

    Does Jim actually do it?  You’ll have to find out for yourself.  

    I actually was not part of this little excursion, but Brian went along and recorded it with his little digital camera. The quality is a bit low, but it’s still good enough to make your stomach turn. 

  • Fast Food in China

    How do you say “Blizzard” in Chinese?

    Blizzard.
