Eating and Driving Experiences

Had an interesting experience last night at a bar. Four of us were drinking and the drunk owner decided to befriend us. After some very broken conversation we realized that he wanted us to translate his Korean menu into German (it was supposed to be a German pub). Between the four of us we were fluent in English, french, Italian,and Spanish, but neither Korean nor German. As a token of his new found friendship he brought us four 6" fish dried hard. We politely declined, but he insisted. He proceeded to tear the head off a fish and rip it in half length ways. None of us were about to follow suit, but he being the savvier person knew this and shoved half the beheaded dry fish into my hand and the other into his mouth. He insisted that I to the same. After a liberal application of chili sauce and a promise by Melanie that she would attempt the feat as well I took the plunge. It was bad. Melanie almost vomited (second time this trip) and some quick distraction enabled her to spit the fish into a napkin.

Best driving move seen to date. Four lane each direction read intersection with four lane each direction road (big ass busy intersection). Motorbike with passenger is waiting to turn left a red light. He swings into oncoming lanes filled with cars and buses turning from the cross road and makes his left turn into the oncoming lanes right between two buses. After weaving through oncoming traffic he merges across all four lanes of heavy traffic and is out of sight - alive.
