I Survived a Japanese Game Show: Thumbs up {Gadling}
Jun 25th 2008 12:23PM Thumbs up from me too!
I love how the contestants jump into each competition. Even if it means dressing up in bug costumes are flopping onto pits of flour.
Looking forward to the next episode.
Good Deed Travel: Building houses in Mexico. The why factor {Gadling}
Apr 28th 2008 1:02PM Nice post.
Rick Steves is one of my heroes, and I've watched that same video you refer to.
My take is that RS has issues with Americans who go to Latin America or Africa, spend a period of time volunteering, and then they go back home and continue with their lives as if nothing happened. Meaning those precious days spent building houses and what-not did nothing to influence their worldview.
I would think that RS is all for getting out there and seeing the world. It's all a matter of how you approach it and letting it affect your perceptions of our planet.
Just my two cents.
