The Shisha Debates

Sword Arch, Grand Hamad Street

Steph Rigione, this one's for you.

Thanks for the glasses. More exotic locales to come.

Wear sunscreen like this man. Trust me.

I got fatter as a result of the food on a trip to Sri Lanka and Malaysia. I know this because the top button on one of my shirts wouldn't button on my first day back.

So many locals thought this group consisted of two married couples. I felt like the 5th wheel.

Sri Lankan Twilight

Sigiriya: The Ruins of a 5th Century Pleasure Palace

In the jungle, the mighty jungle...

Training for "Entrapment 2"

Temple of the Tooth. Kandy, Sri Lanka.

The roads are more exciting overseas than in the U.S.

The King Coconut of Sri Lanka

Nature's Gatorade.

One of these is delicious. The other, not so much.

Clay Pot. Pairs nicely with Tiger Beer.

Getting ready to bargain in Kuala Lumpur's Chinatown. Walking away from the vendor while feigning disinterest will get you the price you want, just as using a fake will get you into Dunbar's. Both work 9 times out of 10.

At least we didn't get sick from eating it right off the tree.

Tuk Tuk

Represent.

Get ready for Thobe Thursdays.

Driving is sometimes a near death experience.

One day, we will ride chairs down this ramp.
