Is this the world’s strangest luxury? Nestled in the neon chaos of Bangkok’s Yaowarat, you’ll find vendors serving this ancient mystery: Bird’s Nest drink. It’s a staple of traditional recipes and food history. For centuries, this "liquid gold" was so rare and expensive it was reserved only for Emperors. The secret? It’s made from the hardened saliva of swiftlets found in limestone caves. Known in culinary anthropology as an elixir for health and skin, it’s now a accessible piece of food heritage you can enjoy on a plastic stool for just a few dollars. It’s sweet, refreshing, and a must-try for any curious soul. Now be honest: Knowing what it’s made of... would you take a sip? Let me know in the comments! 👇 Culinary anthropology research in Bangkok Chinatown. Tasting traditional Bird's Nest soup at Yaowarat night market.

Outremer Week is 5 days of intensive training, both on land and on water. Those courses will improve your seamanship skills so you are better prepared for when you take delivery of your Outremer catamaran. It is also a great way to socialize with other Outremer owners.
