I recently did a mini tour with a colleague in from the US. We started in wild, wonderful Wuhu, China. From there we hit Bangkok, spending time at a food exhibition, and I made it back just in time for the church picnic weekend. I did, of course have a crazy flight schedule and series of meetings, which I will digress from sharing.
Wuhu from the hotel room. Pretty nice park right in the middle of town.
Sadly, I don't think you can see all of the boats on the Yangze river behind the high rises. I counted about 50 barges total!
Wandering around a mall in Bangkok, we stumbled on about $1.5 million in cars.
Chinese food, Thai style. It was excellent!
The classic Thai dessert - mangoes and sticky rice. OK, so this was mango ice cream and sticky rice in a waffle cone...
At the food expo. Note the ratio of pretty ladies to booth workers. What's that you say, you don't see any booth workers? Well, I'm sure they're in there somewhere.
Bird's nest soup and shark fin soup in a microwave bowl. So that's what they pack the rich kids for school lunch.
That's an expensive booth for popcorn. I showed Rebecca and she said "duh, it's like a drive in movie!" And that's why I'm not in marketing.
Fast food at the expo. In Asia fast food doesn't mean bad food. It typically means the food is cooked in front of you, quickly.
Collagen snow? Sold out?
At the expo they had a chef competition for carving fruits and veggies - Awesome!
Now this is what look for in a booth (contrasted with the above few displays) - actual cooks and actual food. What a novel idea; I bet their sales suck.
Poor, poor meat girl. Yes, that's bacon around her waist.
Woohoo! Party!
The guy in the booth in the background was neither pretty nor did he have much food. Apparently he was just here to get caught up on emails.
The tag line on the billboard behind the Angry Bird Fish Cake Spirit Team: "Yummy and Trendy".
Family picnic at SIF, great food!
Rowan headed straight for the dessert table.
