Nothing says exotic Thailand like burritos.
I think every blog post I’ve ever done about Chiang Mai has been at least partly about food… also I’m a dog stalker, as some of you know already.
Indian fruit is so much better than Australian fruit. Grow better fruit Australia!
“It was called Hungarian salami, but… Australian salami is not so good. We have all kinds of different ones but they all taste kind of the same.”
