i love the Bourdain series..
actually, i was deeply moved by his trip to Malaysia.. and
yesterday, he also said that particular trip was one of his most
memorable.. and that it really changed him..
most of all, i love the way goes about in his supposedly cynical
ways and yet you can see that he is searching for something and
hoping.. that he is an optimist at heart, and is able to see the
world as a beautiful place...
watch his stuff... and you will find yourself amused, touched,
tempted, and more 
in other news, the contractors have wheeled in the compressor
again.. more nailgun action
