Top Travel-related News Story of the Day
OK, I realize it isn't in Europe, but I thought it interesting that the top newstory on my Earthlink Home Page today is "Hooter's opens first restaurant in China". Just thought I'd pass that along in case anyone missed this major event.

Well, first you have to agree that Hooters is a good thing for the USA. It's painful that I must defend the existence of Hooters (which I despise) to maintain my integrity as a believer in free enterprise. Sometimes living up to one's own principles is difficult.
I guess, in Utopia, there would be no markets for Hooters. But that would be MY Utopia.

What particularly bemuses me is that, here in Gainesville, Florida, the young Hooters' ladies wear shiny, flesh colored pantyhose beneath their short shorts. Looks like their legs are wrapped in plastic, like Jimmy Dean breakfast sausages.

China? Mao is rolling over in his grave. It should be called Hoo-tettes. The Chinese women are not know for their large...well....hmmmmm hooters!! If it's a success, platic surgeons will leave Hollywood and head for China. I know...we should all buy stock in Charmin...the girls will be using it to stuff their bras.

I suppose that in China they would maintain a low profile at Hooters. My investigation into this subject has found that the tacky and unrefined establishment is actually in Taipei. In fact, there are Hooters in the following countries:
Argentina, Canada, Chile, Switzerland, Aruba, Guatemala, Taiwan, Austria, Mexico, United Kingdom, Brazil, Singapore, United States, Venezuela

Yes, LoveItaly, it is really true. I actually came across the Hooters in Buenos Aires while sightseeing. Good thing Patrick made this post as it reminded me of that experience. When I return to B.A. next month, I will be sure not to go back to that Hooters accidentally. It was on the 2nd floor of a mall-like building at the north end of the main plaza in Recoleta, if I remember correctly.

Yahoo News gives the first Hooters in China as being in Shanghai and due to open on Oct 24.
Look, folks, China didn't become the most populous nation with pruds as citizens!
As for plastic surgery in China: here's a true story - a man in China married a beautiful woman. They have a child. The child turns out to be UH-UGLY! The man is puzzled: "How come with two such good looking parents, the child turns out to be so ugly?" He finds out that the child actually looks like the mother - before she had plastic surgery! Man divorces made-over wife. End of true story.
There's probably more plastic surgery done in China than in the US (mebbe). Guess they don't want to look naff.

Did ya'll know that there is a Hooters airline?
When I was on the runway at Newark Airport I looked out the wondow and there it was, owl and all. I thought it was hysterical. The man sitting next to me said he knew someone who flew on it recently and that it was a great ride.
