I feel bad for piggybacking like that, but I'm planning a trip (probably WAW-BKK) and this kind of insight would help me a lot. If you could copy me on that email at notabing --at-- gmail.com, I'd be mighty grateful. :)

Yeah, but by adding all of those opinions and averaging them we probably get quite a decent idea of a given food quality. Plus, since you'd (hopefully) be embarrassed to put a pic of that bag of cheetos to public scrutiny, as long as you ke
