If you think a crowded restaurant is one of the worst places to fly a drone in, photographer Georgine Benvenuto will most likely agree with you. After all, the mistletoe drone TGI Fridays unleashed in its Sheepshead Bay, New York location didn't lead...

Gasoline prices in the United States have fallen to their lowest level since 2010. And the reason for that is pretty simple — global oil prices are crashing. But why are oil prices crashing? That's a more complex story, as we explain in the video above.

luang prabang, laos: dinner at tamarind

for our first night in luang prabang in north central laos we treated ourselves to a recommended dinner of lao cuisine at the tamarind restaurant in the old quarter.

we started with a sampler of lao favorites, including lao sausage which has a sightly grainy texture and a subtle meat flavor. also on this platter was a buffalo jerky with a coating of sweet glaze that, i swear to you, made it taste like eating meat candy.

for dinner phil got the barbequed sour pork wrapped in lemongrass and i got the very flavorful fried frog salad. both of these were eaten with our hands using the delicious sticky rice provided in small woven baskets.

for drinks i had a granita of watermelon and chili with a chili infused lao lao shot on the side - lao lao being the local whisky of sorts that’s strong and tasty. phil had a pineapple ginger “crush” with a ginger infused lao lao shot. you’ll detect a lao lao theme at this point. it’s good stuffs.

the bill came to 232,000 kip… or about $30 USD. the same meal in the states would have easily been close to $100 and would have had the further disadvantage of not being in the beautiful town of luang prabang.

mekong river, laos

it’s official: i love the mekong river

it is beautiful. it is peaceful. it is filled with life and calm and a gentleness that i could feel around me.

i had no idea what to expect about this part of the trip, and maybe that’s a good thing, because i’ve been left with the feeling that i experienced something truly special.
