1 Comment Published by Joel April 7th, 2008 in Sex, Travel. Share ThisShawn Peters likes to fuck his wife in hotels. And he’s shared that with his readers at the Boston Globe:
So why is check-in a turn-on? Do hotel chains put pheromones in their air-conditioning units? Is there something in the newness of the location, giving couples a risk-free opportunity to “take their act on the road”? […]

First Nukes, then Beer - North Korea has it all
0 Comments Published by Jason March 10th, 2008 in Beer, Destinations, Travel. Share ThisBeer is not the drink of choice for most North Koreans, who prefer cheaper rice-based liquor that packs a big punch.

On the Trail of Regional German Beers
9 Comments Published by Joel May 22nd, 2007 in Beer, Travel. Share ThisWe’re thinking about spending some time in Berlin late this year. When we mention that, the first thing most people say is, “Of course!

The Zissou Arms: Dutch “Capsule Hotel”

Share ThisDon’t take too much of what I’m about to say about these floating Dutch “Capsule Hotel” units as gospel, as my information is gleaned primarily from a Google translated German information page.

Besides Chicago, of […]
