Ok yesterday as I was leaving the office we ran into these little jewels..Thought you car buffs would appretiate and Lotus and a Ferrari...
The Lotus seemed like a toy. I would have to put Crisco all around the doors and have the Tennesse Titans push me into this thing. But I gotta say it is a beautiful car...Wish you could have heard the guy in the Ferrari grinding gears...
The Ferrari is awesome as well






But in all of this I still thought of on SMF member...I just could not help but to think of Dude when I saw this awesome ride...Though its not as detailed as his Hello Kitty scooter the retro look does it for me...


A few Local flowers...

LMAO...the dude lol again....great cars also.

 

[fire it up]

Beautiful cars, especially that Ferrari, so sexy.

I could be wrong but did I see Hiro Nakamura in the background?

 

[the dude abides]

No thanks, I'll stick with the hello kitty version. That's got some style baby!

Both of those cars are sweet. Too bad some schmuck has all that money to buy a Ferrari but can't drive it. Maybe I'll trade him my scooter for it.

Well lats nights dinner was really good. I will travel to the other side of teh country to eat at this place 2 times a week. Its out on the beach and is a good break from the office. Its also off the beaten track of the expats and only locals visit this. Company is always good, the food is awesome, and not expensive, right on the beach and a huge park in front....

This is the ebst calamari on the planet. It is fried just like chciken at home and cut and caught fresh. They cook it really high heat and its not chewy at all.....Im hungry just thinking about it







My friend orders what they call Top Shell. Its kind of like mussels I guess. It is serevd cold and is too hot for me but she loves it...served with onions and some chilli sauce





And this is Crispy Tofu. Fried very plain and eaten with chilli sauce...I like this


I cannot remember what she calls this but its a floating fishing platform. Looks to be a bunch of old boats and stuff tied together. People come and go all day fishing



Beaches in this area are not the nicest but I still like this better than the Santosa Island

That food looks awesome.

Wish i could taste that calamari ..

 

[the dude abides]

Yeah, what a dump. I'll take the oceanside beaches around here anyday over that place. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Looks alright to me, especially the fact that there's no crowd. What are temps like there. It was a high of 36*F in Des Moines today. Used that phrase "wind chill factor" on the news tonight with a chance of snow tomorrow. Yuck.

 

[scpatterson]

Temps are in the 90s during the day and 70-80 at night. The water at these beaches is dark and murky lookin but they have other beaches on the other side thats blue water but its so crowded and I dont have much time each day to get out so theless crowds the better. this is still a very nice and quite place.........getting into teh 20s at home at night....Deer are moving Im sure

 

[the dude abides]

Lots of deer here in Iowa. With the crops mostly all cut. They're on the scramble looking for food and cover. Seeing lots of red "spots" on the interstate from the truckers hitting them overnight. DOT does a pretty good job of getting it cleaned up before the morning commute.

 

[grampyskids]

Dude, youv'e been dissed!

 

[beer-b-q]

I'll takt the Ferrari and a Six Pack of what you are drinking...

The reason he can't shift is the steering wheel is on the WRONG SIDE...

 

[gnubee]

In a country that will cut off your hand for stealing, I'm surprised that the guy doesn't lose an arm for grinding gears in a Ferrari.

 

[scpatterson]

Yesterdays lunch was Black Pepper Ostrich. It was really good but not any diff than beef. I tried to get some pics of the menu so you all can see wht they have.

 

[bbq engineer]

Hey SC,

I'll take some bitter gourd and fish belly...Man that just sounds tasty

.

I didn't know that U2 had a kitchen. I can just see Bono as a fry cook.

Paul had a point on the Ferrari with the steering wheel being on the wrong side. It would take a lot of practice to shift with my left hand!

 

[carpetride]

Driving on the wrong isn't that bad, it's the right turns that get you.

Last night I ran into something that I have seen before but not tried. This is kind of jerky. I cannot remember the Chinese name, but they sell it in Pork, Beef, chicken, Fish. They also have dried Chinese sauasage. I love this stuff, I think they make it into jerky and then grill it so it has a grill taste. This one is Pork, Im gonna buy some to bring home and send to you guys that want to try it. I will get it home and vaccume seal it and put in the mail....This stuff is awesome

 

[alx]

That does look freaking awesome....

on the updates...Tanks.

 

[jamesb]

That looks intersting... Never had it before.

You sure your going to be able to get that past customs?

 

[scpatterson]

we will see on the 14th....If I dont post by the 16th Im in a federal prison so you guys send me some jerky...

 

[scpatterson]

Turtle soup anyone....This was pretty good but I tried the skin and it was not for me and there was some Grissel looking stuff that did not float my boat but the meat and the broth was dam good. Had some Ramen noodles with dumplings and notice something I gotta go abck and try. Crocodile Ribs in soup!!!..Mondays Lunch











Had to eat something a little more tame after lunch se we went for sweet cheese rolls...These are good
