Sorry about that but we were experiencing technical difficulties here at Jordon's Deep Thoughts. I was just a little tired that last 6 months. I mean, the last time you heard from me was January when Obama was nominated. Remember that? So much has happened since then in the world: I traveled to my 29th country, I went to my 6th continent, I swam in my 4th ocean, Michael Jackson died, and I got a haircut. Major life-altering events here people.
So yeah, Africa was awesome. The safari, the sand dunes, the diving, the interesting food -- a bit different than the United States. I ate Kudu (a big antelope) and even tried some milk from a fruit that came out of the ground which was given to me by a half naked African boy.
So I believe we were driving through Namibia on our way back from a failed attempt to sandboard down some one thousand foot high sand dunes, we had just crossed the Tropic of Capricorn, and I saw a sign for the next town. It was just like a sign you might see in the United States which advertised gas, hotel, and food at the next exit. And of course, I noticed something interesting and began to wonder...
The universal sign (at least I thought) for food is a picture of a knife and fork. It doesn't say food or restaurant or anything like that, just a simple picture and everyone knows what it means. But here is where the blog-worthy aspect creeps into the picture. Say were driving in China, would the picture have two chopstcks on it? Can anyone confirm or deny this idea? I have never been to southeast Asia but would imagine the sign would have to show this, right?
I love you all and check back soon, the next post will be soon (less than 6 months).
