I seldom leave remarks, but i did some searching
and wound up here "What the World Eats - Photo Essays - TIME".
And I actually do have a few questions for you if you usually
do not mind. Could it be simply me or does it give the impression like a few of these comments appear like they are written by brain dead people?
:-P And, if you are posting on other social sites, I'd like to keep up with anything fresh you have to post. Could you list of the complete urls of your social sites like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
