Now I know.<br /><br />The last photo is shocking me. 3+ DSLRS in use in just one table! The restaurant did not care at all? Or did they?<br /><br />Yeah, sometimes $$$ is not an excuse. After all, now Nikon's D3000 starts at 499 for the holiday season, the same as a high end point and shoot.EatTravelEathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04701629211273451788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-3168487298154859492009-12-13T18:58:39.842-08:002009-12-13T18:58:39.842-08:00Charlie: Very well stated about Chinese/Vietnamese...<b>Charlie</b>: Very well stated about Chinese/Vietnamese/Thai food.

Some people might hype it up to be great, but most of the time it's just pretty good. I think Chinese/Viet/Thai food in general rarely gets to be great, most of the time just good to very good. <br /><br />Also, only serious bloggers with $$ get themselves a DSLR.. or don't have wine habits. Which.. both unfortunately apply to me. :PCharlie Fuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10131445271942007453noreply@blogger.com
