    part one is finished! Some take-aways:

    a 75 foot wave! I don't surf but the thought sounds terrifying
    Uzbekistan should go big or go home by inventing a brand new language and alphabet
    Basmati rice = long grained rice. I did not know that since I prefer short grained, but will settle for medium
    7,000 dollar French go kart? I want two at that price!
    Yellow fever is an actual medical term. I thought it meant having a sexual attraction for Asian women
    Giving medical marijuana to potentially dangerous beasts? Hey, it works for Mike Tyson!
    Joko Widodo is the most AWESOME name for a president
    I for one welcome our sturdlefish overlords! :hail:

    Yes, it is a disease. A very dangerous disease. I am vaccinated against it. Most of the African countries I visit require a yellow fever vaccination in order to enter the country.

    I may have been vaccinated against it in the past. My former employers made sure I was vaccinated against myriad diseases that are found throughout the world,just in case I had to travel there immediately without much prior notification.
