That still sounds warm. Must be around Vladivostok. I must admit we Americans have alot of misconceptions. One I had about Siberia is that it is always cold and that its where alot of people got exiled to.

Peasant. The French in their wine producing regions take the finest produce of Napa Valley and use it to clear their drains and clean their driveways.

I ordered out some Korean food and they asked me how hot I wanted it. I said "Hot. Very hot. Hot as you can get it and add some more. Try to hurt me, I dare you!" The lesson I learned there? Never dare a Korean to hurt you.

Reminds me of one time at an indian Restaurant.
They had 6 Stages of Hotness and said, 3 would be for the normal European taste, whereas 6 would be the hotness they are used to in India.

Of course I took Stage 6 for my Chicken Curry.
I canīt remember consuming more water afterwards than this day

huh. having grown up with spicy food (i'm of korean extraction), i must say that i've always found it kinda funny to see some unable to eat.

a group of friends and i went to a thai restaurant; the group was about 6 or so, and 4 of us were asian; 3 were korean. all four of us asians ordered the most spicy; one of our friends (caucasian), was daring enough to do that too (5 of 5 stars). he couldn't finish it, and the rest of us were laughing quite hard--especially because the waiter sized him up and had asked, "are you sure?"

I've never been there I'm sorry to say but I've heard alot about the Thais and their food. I think I'd be another one of those caucasians trying the 5 of 5 stars.
BTW - I just love korean kimchi.

Why would they bother, when there is so much bad French wine around, and it's a lot more astringent. Seriously, I have never had a good French wine ever, and that includes two trips to France. California wines vary a bit, but there are quite a few good ones in my typical price range (10-25$). No one at the wine store ever suggests a French wine within those boundaries, because they are typically total crap.
