Oh, can I design it?

Do spots on daytime TV! Do you have morning talk shows (not quite like Oprah/Rickie) like those in AU (you might have seen them when you were here).

>I'll use "Stir-fried chicken with basil and chillies" instead of "Gai Pad 
>Gaprow" :D

I hope you're still going to use dual-names.

Chinese restaurants in Spain have hilarious translations for their names. One dish that we never tried, but laughed at whenever we read the menu was "Ants go up tree".

>PS: Isaac should be arriving in time to eat at Shiok. Listening to lame

The other day, Kate said "this Madhu sounds funny", so I've stopped talking to her. JK!

We may come earlier or later. So much is up in the air right now with the working visa muck-up. Dublin is suggesting that mainland Europe is my best bet, so we could be going to Amsterdam for a weekend.
