:) Indian is not a language. Just so you know.
- Vijayendra (V-Mo) Mohanty
Oops, thanks Vijay, I corrected. Is it ok now?
- Alp
Ya. I hope I don't sound like a snob. Just thought I will fix it. :) India has 26 official languages BTW. I know only 4 of them.
- Vijayendra (V-Mo) Mohanty
By the way I want to understand what do Persian, Indian... users say. I installed inline google translator plugin, but Persian, Arabic etc. are not available yet.
- Alp
I want to understand what all you say.
- Alp
"I know only 4 of them" - that is still pretty impressive
- chrisofspades
I agree with chris, Vijay, what does 26 official languages mean? Is it real?
- Alp
Dialects? or specific language? I know Oaxaca (in Mexico) has at least 18 different dialects of what most of them refer to as "Azteca", an all but vanished remnant of a native Mesoamerican language.
- ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ
It means 26 separate rich languages. If I add dialects the numbers run into thousands. These are ancient languages. But still very much alive.
- Vijayendra (V-Mo) Mohanty

Seems like languages are disappearing on pace with the rain forests. Glad there's been some effort to preserve the ancient tongues.
- ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ
Yup, every Indian currency note itself has the denomination written in 15 languages (apart from English)! Go here for a peek: http://kaulonline.com/blog... And Vijayendra is right, if you look at the dialects, the number of languages easily go up to a thousand or so. It's also interesting to note that quite a few of these don't even have a script... :)
- Deepak Prakash
Deepak, that is really interesting. Thanks for this information :)

Love you :)

Think before voting- Hindustan Times - http://www.hindustantimes.com/StoryPa...
Deepak Prakash liked this
"A few days ago, there was an article in this newspaper about an actress who said that she didn’t know what she was campaigning for, but that she just went because she was a friend of a party member. I was completely outraged. Is this a fashion show where you go just because it’s fun to show up? Did you just want to be written about as active, because it’s the new in-thing in Bollywood? When voting privately, a public figure has the same amount of responsibility as any other citizen, no more, no less, to be well-informed about what he or she is voting for. But the second one uses their celebrity to campaign for votes, that responsibility increases exponentially. I mean, isn’t that obvious? People look up to you, people are influenced by you, and when you’re using that to tell them how to shape the country rather than what movie to watch, you have no right to abuse that! You can really impact people, and to do that without due research, knowledge or care is a disgrace."

I find this hardly surprising in Indian politics where your only qualification to be a politician (and even a Prime Ministerial candidate) needs to be the family you come from... Sad, but true... I personally think the lack of inner-party democracy is the biggest bane in Indian politics right now...
- Deepak Prakash
It's also a matter of moral responsibility. You are an actor. You act and make money. How valid is it to act when people are not expecting you to act? To promise and say things you don't mean because... hey... you are just an actor.
- Vijayendra (V-Mo) Mohanty

Oh! I should preface that we are American (Austin, TX) and are targeting an "around the world" trip flying west out of the U.S. The picture above was taken in Vietnam.

Kerala, India. Especially the backwaters and a night in a "boat house". Suggest you make this as late as possible; June n July are heavy monsoon months.
- Deepak Prakash
I've always wanted to visit Bali, perhaps that would be an option for you.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Tina, I've been to Bali and it was amazing. I strongly suggest you go. There's another island nearby called Lombok that I'm curious about. Anyone been to Lombok?

I'm all over TripAdvisor, but sometimes you just can't beat a personal and in-depth recommendation. Especially if it's fresh in someone's mind.

Where's my Turkish contingent at?I'm dying to go to Istanbul, but I wouldn't know where to start :/
- Carter Rabasa
Well this is totally different than what I'm seeing, but if you all the way 'round I'd suggest stopping in Ireland. The weather that time of year is great, daylight is nearly endless, and the people are wonderful
- Bill Rawlinson
@Bill any cities/towns/places that we should make sure to see while we're there?
- Carter Rabasa
carterheartscarrie.com - that's very sweet.
- edythe
Glad you like it edythe :) It was the least I could do, I way overachieved with Carrie.
- Carter Rabasa
Carter: what kind of trip do you prefer? Historic? Sight seeing? Leisure? Partying? Festivals? Istanbul can offer all sorts of entertainment for you.. Just name it and I'll try to help you out :-)
- Burak "cyrus" Bayburtlu
Carter, I was in Ireland last year. Dublin is the obvious choice, but Greystones, a 30 minute ride on DART to the south, is a really charming town and Galway, on the west coast, is kind of their answer to Santa Cruz - laid back. LOTS of street musicians, which is what I liked about the place.
- Helen Sventitsky
Uh.... fun? :) We're young (early 30's) and want to find a good balance between enjoying ourselves and seeing the wonders of the world. We probably can't commit more than 5-7 days.
- Carter Rabasa
I highly recommend Negril, Jamaica. Best beaches in the world, hands down. If you want somewhere a little further out from traditional tourist areas, check out Sandals Whitehouse http://www.sandals.com/main...
- Shey, Jamaican of FF
@Helen, GREAT recommendation! I'll definitely jot that down. @Shey, we are looking hard at the Caribbean. I'm 50% Cuban, so we might even try to sneak over there for a few nights.
- Carter Rabasa
A short trip to İstanbul: one day for Sultanahmet region which is full of historical places such as gigantic mosques, Hagia Sophia (ex-church turned into a mosque), several museums and lot's of good places to eat native food such as kebabs. One day at Eminönü - which has a grand bazaar full of EVERYTHING.. One day at Kanyon - a cool shopping mall - for shopping cheaper than any European country You have a wife don't you :-) ) One day at İstiklal Caddesi - Beyoğlu - You will have lot's of places to see and..
- Burak "cyrus" Bayburtlu
...you can end the night there visiting rock bars or clubs - whichever you prefer. And one final thing I can offer is.. eating out at a fish restaurant - be my guest :-)
- Burak "cyrus" Bayburtlu
We really liked Doolin which was on the Cliffs of Mohar (very small, but great pub with amazing music there). I really liked Galway between the choices of Galway and Dublin, but Dublin had more "stuff" to do in it. My wife really enjoyed Killarny. a nice place to stop and see was Powerscourt in the town of Enniskerry which is has amazing gardens and is to the south of Dublin in Waterford County. I apologize to any Irish for bad spelling. -- Oh, and, Congratulations and enjoy your trip!
- Bill Rawlinson
@Burak, if we make it to Istanbul, you're on! @Bill, I'm fairly certain Carrie has Irish blood (her last name is Knittel and she's fair and freckled). I'll definitely have to put Ireland up there. Thanks to everyone for all their help!

Does that mean we have to end it, Shevonne?
- RAPatton
@RAP Unfortunately yes
- Shevonne
but, baby, no one loves you like I do
- RAPatton
Wow, deja vu...I think we debated exactly this a loooooong time ago here. I a word, if you are in a monogamous agreement with someone that includes the emotional space of the relationship...just like you can't sleep with other people you can't fall for them either. Some would say they aren't responsible for such things, but that is not true...we are not responsible for attractions, we are responsible for what we do about them.
- Neal Jansons
Hahaha
- Shevonne
Yes, I think more so than just a physical relationship.
- Michelle Martinez
@Neal Well said
- Shevonne
Yes, it is.
- Kevin Whalen
Absolutely
- YoYo_P
For sure, even more severly too
- sofarsoShawn
My wife and I were both polyamorous before we met and for a long while after. We decided to be monogamous for exactly this reason...the emotional space of a marriage and (hopefuly after she is out of grad school!) family requires protection from the chaos that polyamoury can produce. Essentially, we made a commitment based on the idea that we didn't want to "let things seek their own level" (a common polyamoury meme) if that meant taking the chance that our marriage could be destroyed and family fractured.
- Neal Jansons
Yes it is
- BEX
yep
- Morgan Haley
Interesting dicussion... Personally, I think it is cheating... And probably of the worst kind... :)

Wonder what would happen if you mixed it with say... beer?

Do they make it in a Lager?

it must taste really bad.....
- Bindu Reddy
No
- Seek Ground
I'd eat the powder as-is. I bet it'd be like alcoholic poprocks!
- KyleHase
Would maybe try this when its 4 in the morning and the only bottles left are empty ones!
- Deepak Prakash
Sure... looks tasty!
- François Lamontagne
That looks more like a Lager than an Ale.. Lager could prolly survive this (unless it's one of those pale lagers ) but would taste like crap. To do this to an ale such as a bitter or stout is tantamount to sacrilage - that stuff needs to be cask conditioned, not freeze dried!
- alphaxion
Is this even possible? Would be good for a backwoods canoe trip though.
- Brian Sullivan
How do they dehydrate the alcohol? Wouldn't it have boiled off in the process?

Ok I found out, it's absorbed with a soluble base :) Not "dehydrated" as such
