If it is Pad Thai, I don't think I am goiing to speak to you for a very long time. Or at least, for the next hour anyways, while I sit and pout.

Yeah, if there is some money to be made doing that. Perhaps I can get you addicted to attending group sessions and spending money on me helping you.

Not sure if it will be Pad Thai - there is such a massive selection of good food to choose from.


?????? Hmmm, what will I eat today?????

Paul drives a hard bargain...but his services may be well worth it.

If he can pull himself away from the game long enough to eat....oh wise master...how is it done?

Seriously though...where do these Geography Majors come from? I swear some of these scores are insane. I think the next level has to come without the country...it makes it too easy for these earth experts.

OK so I'm a sore loser. Great game but I won't play again until you provide a Much bigger more detailed map. With major rivers, bays, large lakes, maybe Lat/Long lines.

No, 20 Baht cannot. No same same. 20 $ OK?


I didn't eat Pad Thai. I had my favourite. Som Tam Thai, and BBQd chicken and cat fish and sticky rice and cabbage leaves and beans... and coke with ice.

Hmmm, maybe this is all part of the solution to your adictions.

$20 - a good price for your health and sanity

$25 for a solid dose of gratitude. I think that is well reasonable. Don't you?

Haha - for the developers of the game?

Come to Thailand! It's all the rage - everyone's doing it! In fact, carmella is currently changing the Travelpod IQ game to include only thailand, and the name of TP is now changing to Thailandpod. Assimilate!

Paul - I'm currently using the walkaway tactic on your $20 offer. I cannot. I wanted good for you good for me, but maybe you don't feel like selling today. I'm assuming at this point you call me back and accept my ridiculous 20B offer, but we'll see what happens.
