Just found this website by accident. Loved this page, especially tip number one. I’m going to work my way through the rest of your writing now. Very witty stuff. I might have to visit Moldova now!

yo yo yo, I’m back from hawaii now, poorer than before but with a tan… except for my ass, which, as i’ve been told on occasion, will always be white. Next time LP throws a maui assignment and wads of cash your way, I’m going to have to recommend that you accept.

I laughed at that Sideways reference. I’m pretty sure everything I know about wine “tasting” stems directly from watching that movie.

Make it LOOK like you’re reviewing the restaurant?

I figured a distinguished LP gopher, er, author such as yourself would always carry the poison review pen as a means of “negotiating” better service/food/favors from the Polish waitresses. You’ve burst my bubble.

I bet next you’ll tell us that LP authors don’t even eat in the restaurants they review …

That is hilarious. Somehow though eating alone in a foreign country never makes me feel quite as self concious as eating alone in my own country.
I try to act as if I am someone important when abroad and alone and frequently look at my watch or look heavenward as if preparing for some upcoming event. In the USA I don’t bother because it’s obvious that if you’re eating alone you’re a loser.

I love getting stared at through restaurant windows when dining alone. People stare at the posted menu, then through the glass and down into my plate, then up at my face to see if I’m happy to be eating whatever is in front of me. I always feel obliged to give a thumbs up or a thumbs down. Instant food review!
