Ask for the “secret” menu

When you get to the restaurant and the hostess hands you an English menu, make conversation and ask to switch it with the Chinese menu. Don’t be afraid to open up the dialogue and converse with your waiter; they usually have great recommendations for tasty traditional fare.

TripAdvisor compiled a list of the cities where you should be on the highest alert for pickpockets, based on information from editors and travelers. The city that took the number one spot was Barcelona, a tourist hotspot full of crowded streets, landmarks, and sightseeing opportunities (in other words, a pickpocket’s dream!). Spain had one more city on the list, too; Madrid took the fourth spot. It was the only country besides Italy to have two locations on the list. The remaining cities in the top five were Rome, Prague, and Paris. Interestingly, European cities made up eight of the top ten. The only non-European pickpocket hotspots were Buenos Aires, Argentina and Hanoi, Vietnam. Many of the cities ranked were noted to have busy, outdoor attractions among their most popular sites, where tourists are very vulnerable to thieves.

I've also been really into science lately and think our laws should be more based in science than in emotion...

Take the time to read the comments under the video...Rogan apparently has alienated all of his fans and is drawing the ire of the Alex Jones followers...

Ray Charles, Frank, Nat K. Cole, Patsy Cline, Barbara Streisand and Johnny Cash were the extent of my parents vinyl collection except for Lenny Bruce and Mort Sahl comedy albums. I think they had some Bill Cosby also.
Anybody who denegrates Johnny Cash has zero credibility. That’s like not liking John Belushi’s performance in the Blues Brothers. Dismissing Al Pacino’s performance in Godfather 2. Denying Joe Torre was the absolute perfect manager for the Yankees from 96-03. Jus sayin’.

LMAO.  I think the guy is looney tunes!!!  But who ever said I had credibility to begin with...   Kaybli was throwing me a bone making me a moderator

Hey now. I think you're a thoughtful guy, sierchio. Well worthy of being a moderator.
