#1 Fred - you forgot the warning about the cookies in the coffee bars.

#2 I applaud the effort to emphasize the service industries. There won't be any manufacturing left if the EU regs are ever actually enforced, so they'll need something to augment the hard-currency kickbacks and Blue Light Specials on technology to our various enemies. Which reminds me, how's that arms embargo to China thingy going?

I'll take Ruth's Chris, Moose. If there's better, it's not enough so to justify the trip, lol. And those layovers in Japan where I snarf up Kobe beef? Heh. Awesome stuff...

#3 I highly recommend that big Chinese restaurant on the corner, for when you need a break after "drinking coffee" and "window shopping"....

#4 As much as a like Chinese food, I have terrible luck with Chinese restaurants outside of the US. Come to think of it, I actually found the *one* bad Chinese restaurant in all of San Francisco--no mean feat. I think it was run by Puerto Ricans.

One of the better oriental restaurants was a Japanese Benihana-style steakhouse run by a Korean with four very eligible daughters in Alabama. If you were a single male between the ages of 17-35, you were guaranteed a superb dining experience.

#5 lol, moose! I always chuckle when I look back in the back of one of the Chinese restaurants I frequent and see Mexicans cooking in the back (although, it is run and owned by Chinese, who stay up front). The price you pay for globalization I guess.

Now, about the place in AL...in Birmingham or somewheres else?

#6 Is the buffet all you can eat?

#7 I went to a Chinese Restuarant in either Bangor or Donnaghadee Northern Ireland twenty years ago. I went there because it was the weirdest place I ever saw a Chinese restaurant. Nothing special about the quality, though.

#8 It was in Anniston, near Ft. McClellan.

#9 Believe it or not Chinese food is very popular in India. Although the Indians (from India) I knew in Singapore didn't like the generally excellent chinese food there.

They eventually tracked down a real Indian Chinese restuarant and took me there. The food looked like Chinese food, but everything was curry flavoured.
