GadlingTV's Travel Talk 005: Khmer Rouge Tourism, Scottish banknote woes, China on dog meat, and fun in the Californian sun
Spring is here! The sun is out! GadlingTV's Travel Talk heads to Santa Cruz, California for an action-packed episode.
This week we discuss Cambodia's efforts to turn the Khmer Rouge legacy into tourist attractions, why traveling the UK with Scottish banknotes could be problematic, China's unrelated plans for a new London-Beijing connection and a ban on the sale of cat & dog meat.
We'll show you how to brew a special tea from Argentina; Sheila recounts tales from England and dating around the world, Melanie from Germany shows Aaron how to cook bratwurst and we go on a massive beach adventure.

I strongly believe that China should ban
the sale and consumption of Dog meat !
Cats, however, are quite tasty in teriyaki sauce....

Fantastic... I'm really enjoying your work, guys. Can't wait for the next episode

In response to your poll above, I chose answer #2 to vote against the proposed Chinese ban on dog/cat meat... even though I am a staunch vegetarian. The one thing I hate even more than the idea of consuming meat is the sheer hypocrisy some people display by gorging on the meat of certain animal species, and then criticizing the meat preferences of other societies as being "inhumane". Folks - please make up your mind and introspect about which side of the moral equation are you on! No one's forcing you go give up on your meat, BUT atleast learn to appreciate the cultural differences among people AND don't pretend to be the moral champions of animal rights!

Next tea: Tereré (Paraguay's cold yerba mate infusion)
Try it!

I like the new Tea Time mini-segment. I've seen the mate (sp?) on tv on other shows but now I want to go find some and give it a try after watching this. That plus I like gadgets and I want to find the little container with the filtered straw. If you can point me to someplace online to purchase, would greatly appreciate it. Keep up the great video segments.

PC douchebags think we're forcing our cultural values on China!?? Ever heard of ethics or morality?
Hmm, sooo, in Thailand you can buy a child for sex, but who are we to force our cultural values on ending that?
My Ethics Prof. illustrated this point with a story about a Samurai's sword. For brevity, I'll sum it up. A Samurai gets a new sword & by tradition goes to a crossroad to wait for the first person to come to the crossroad. He is to cut that person from shoulder to hip across the body, to test if his sword is sharp enough.
Disgusting, or am I just 'forcing' my Anglo ways on the East? No, it's still murder, so get a grip.

Let'em eat whatever kind of animal they want. After all, we eat Bambi, Thumper, Daffy and Porky on a regular basis. Who are we to criticize if they love Fido Fries and Fluffy Burgers?
