2009-10-21, Tea & Sympathy (Bastrop, TX) : My long-time friend Tanalee runs this wonderful little tearoom in Bastrop, TX - fun, qurky, and featuring delicious food (Sorry, I'm not a tea drinker so I can't comment about the real featured delicacies).  I had the Asian lettuce wraps - they had a nice little kick.  My favorite was a Tomato/Basil soup that was incredibly rich and perfectly seasoned (accompanied by a macaroni salad and fruit).   http://www.tanalees-teaandsympathytearoom.com/

2009-06-23, Shanghai Dinners & Friends : The first few pictures are actually Incheon airport near Seoul - wanted to show all the couples in matching clothing - good friends and honeymooners wear matching clothes when they travel together.  The room is my hotel room in Shanghai - Parkview hotel in Pudong, then there are pictures of lots of delicious food.  Then a restaurant that James Jen picked out that had a fantastic Mask show and a martial-arts-tea-pouring demonstration, followed by more food and friends.

2009-02-28, Ferrara Vineyards (Escondido, CA) : Ferrara Vineyards is a quaint urban vineyard - a little bit lost in time like the city grew up around it.  It is a working vineyard with a winery.  I bought Muskat grape juice there, it was delicious (I brought a bottle to share with my friend Erik too).

2007-10-26, Daegu Traditional Market : Traditional outdoor market in Daegu, S. Korea.  We arrived early - most of the stalls were not open.  We looked at the fresh fish (all kinds), vegetables, and of course cloth and furniture.  As the textile center of Korea I was hoping to find more kinds of traditional pattern fabrics and thigns but it was mostly very bright modern fabrics.  Always something interesting around every corner.  We had just had a big breakfast so I didn't sample any of the interesting foods.

2007-10-27, Bongeunsa Temple Seoul : One of my favorite places on the planet, this is a beautiful and historic Buddhist temple in the heart of Seoul's business district.   One of the few good things about jet lag is that I get up at 5am and was able to be there for the sunrise.  The smell of insence, monks chanting in the sunrise, and seeing Bongeunsa come awake was a great start to my trip.  If you stay at the Coex hotel it is *right* across the street.
