Depending on which side of the pond you hail from, you probably have a strong opinion on which Cadbury chocolate is superior. Americans live for the season when the Cadbury Creme Egg (now actually made by Hershey) is available to provide way more sugar in one sitting than is advisable, while Brits find the Yankee versions of their confectionary too sweet and consider the simple Dairy Milk bar to ...Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

Dec 7th, 2009 at 3:00PM: The LA Times recently linked to a tool on the US State Department website that allows you to search by date range and country to find out where around the world Americans have died of "non-natural" causes.
The information goes back to 2002. No names or details of the deaths are disclosed, they are only reported as suicide, drowning, drug-related, homicide, disaster, or vehicle, air or ...Outback Australia: Where are the Americans?

Close to 300,000 people from outside of Australia visit the Northern Territory every year. And if I noticed anything about those tourists while I was there it's that the vast majority do not speak English. That is by no means a judgmental statement. I enjoyed ...Paris pins its tourism hopes on Americans. . . and shopaholics
Aug 27th, 2009 at 1:00PM: Poor Paris. The city was recently voted "most overrated in the world" and tourism is down by 11% (or more, according to some reports) compared with the first half of 2008. The number of British and Japanese visitors dropped nearly 25% each, while the number of tourists from China declined by over 17%.
Mon Dieu! What's a city to do? Well, according to the AP, the director of the Paris Tourism ...The State of American Tourism: Thailand, India, and Cuba
Nov 27th, 2008 at 5:00PM: The internet is abuzz with news from abroad right now. Thailand's Suvarnabhumi International Airport in Bangkok remains closed; India is reeling from a devastating terrorist attack aimed at British and American tourists in Mumbai; Raúl Castro is open to ending Cuba's 40-year feud with Washington, thereby allowing Americans to travel there more "freely." The last thing most Americans want to ...A difference between Yanks and Brits
Dec 19th, 2007 at 2:00PM: You know the difference between Americans and Britons? The word of the year for 2007 stateside is "w00t" while across the pond, it's -- get this, -- "locavore." OK, it's not quite as pretentious as it sounds, though still too much for my taste. Anyone want to venture a guess? It means someone who eats food that's locally grown, and who especially takes notice of seasonal available foodstuff and ...Where do most Americans go on holiday?
Nov 4th, 2007 at 2:00PM: The Guardian 2007 Travel Awards gave us an idea of British travel trends, so I thought it would be interesting to see some American ones. Compiled by the US Office of Travel and Tourism Industries, the top 10 countries Americans visited the most in 2006 are: 1)Mexico 2)Canada 3)UK -- gives Americans "the feeling that they're going somewhere different, but also that they're home." 4)France ...Why give Africans IQ tests?
Oct 25th, 2007 at 4:00PM: Call me crazy but I just don't believe that Africans are less intelligent than Europeans or Americans. Yes, it seems like every once in a while a scientist tries to prove that Africans are somehow inferior to the rest of us. You would think there are more pressing issues out there that they could be focusing their studies on...but I guess this one gets a lot of press.
