One of the fun things to see in Vietnam (and elsewhere in Asia) is how incredibly piled-up the bicycles and motorcycles are, packed high with whatever vendors are selling. During Lunar new year, people were transporting big kumquat trees across town on bicycles and motorbikes, and in Hanoi I spotted this fabulous bicycle full of vegetables, as tightly-squeezed as I’ve ever seen. Love!

We’ve posted about tweeting from space, but what about sleeping in a spacesuit? From Dutch website Snurk comes an extremely creative line of sheets, made to look like you are a sleeping astronaut when in bed. The new line, available as of March 2013, includes a pillowcase with an astronaut’s helmet, allowing kids (and adults – let’s be honest, I want this sheet set too) to really put themselves in full costume when they go to bed.
Per the site, the sheets are from the Space Expo Museum in Holland. Someone needs to bring these to North America, stat! And when they do, they need to be available in adult sizes too.

Jordan and Skyler McDonald recently left their jobs in Atlanta – Jordan a consultant and Skyler an attorney – to travel the world together. Like many travelers, they decided to host their experiences publicly on a site called 180 Degrees West. As a fan of Thai food and food photography, I wanted to highlight their great photoessay here, since it captures in a photoessay the essence of what makes discovering the world so great. Two of their photos are below, but you can check out the full photoessay in all its colourful glory.
We’ve posted about Thai food before – here and here – but the McDonalds’ full-page photos left us drooling with some new foods to feature.
Enjoy!
