We, Humans;
We do what is best for us;
Every man fights for his own interests;
We, Humans, have desires and needs;
We do different things to fulfill our different wants and basics;
Honesty only goes as far as being spoken;
Trustworthiness is just but skin deep;
We are often blinded by our pursue of fulfillment;
We, Humans.

Not very poetic, but you get the idea..

On another note, I’ve been watching Anthony Bourdain No Reservations, now showing on Discovery Travel Channel. It’s a great show in my opinion. On top of that, like me, he HATES karaoke.

Anyway, it’s different from the usual where a celebrity chef travels the world and savor delicacies. This show focuses more on the close relationship between food and the indigenous culture, it shows the, like linny always says, “un-glam” side of food culture.

There’s this episode on Beirut, Lebanon. In the midst of filming, the crew got caught in the conflict between Israel and Lebanon. War it might be, but interestingly, the younger generations were so used to the bombings and couldn’t care less.. They continued to party all night long while the bombs were falling and people dying. At the same time, the crew moved to a safe-house, a hotel, about 2km from the front-lines. There, people sun-tan, drink, eat and had a good view of the battle from the roof-top swimming pool.

Fav quote (from the Peru episode): …the more he travels, the less he knows… the more that I became aware of, the more I realised how relatively little I know of it…
