Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
If you love beer and you love to travel, I've found the perfect thing for you. It's a list of how to order beer in 50 different languages. So just in case you were curious about how to order a beer in, oh say, Bulgarian, you now have a way t learn.I know I don't like to be an "ugly American" when I travel. I think it's always a good idea to know at least a few phrases in the local language when you're abroad. Honestly, what phrase could be more important than how to order a glass of the local brew in the bar tender's native language?*
*I am only joking.

On an outer island, at a most remote little shack of a bar, I asked the man for a shot of Jack Daniels. He looked at me slyly, lowered his eyes and responded "No bosso, we only have local bourbon." I shuddered at the thought of what readily available processes might have been used to make "local bourbon" and without a moment's hesitation said "How about a Fiji baby, please." Instantly, the brilliance of Fiji Beer became apparent.

Edna bira molia - that is in Bulgarian(my language hehehe) well, sure that will not solve your problems since the next thing they ask in most countries I guess will be - what kind would you like? You gotta be very creative to figure that out(well I have seen budwiser in Bulgaria so, Americans are safe there hehehe)

When I was traveling on business to Europe with limited language skills, I discovered that 99% of bartenders will know what you want if you make a hand gesture like pulling down a beer tap. Beer is universal! (I don't know if that sign language works other places. You do have to be careful with pantomime and cultural taboos.)

You would be surprised. The past few days I tried a great malt whisky from Tasmania, and an amazing malt whisky from India that blew my socks off. I got turned on to them at an international artisanal whiskey distilling conference that was just held in Kentucky. There are some great whiskys being made all around the world, in the most unlikely places.
