Travel Skills: Eating with the Locals.
Script.
When in europe, celebrating cultural differences brings a special bonus: you'll eat better. Order with a spirit of adventure. Seek out not the biggest neon sign saying "we speak English", but places filled with locals. Here in Portugal, the tourists are eating with a sea view and we're eating with the locals on a backstreet. The specialty is seafood. Here we go. "I got my bucio". Bucio is a sea snail and this is "vino verde", green wine. 
In Rome, we're eating our way through the antipasti courses and sticking with what's seasonal. Roasted peppers, fried zuchini flowers and grilled eggplant.
Going local can mean eating ethnic. Here in London, we're going trendy with the young crowd, grabbing tasty bytes off the world's longest sushi conveyor belt. And wherever you travel, eat better by understanding the basic menu terms. In Italy, meals come in waves. Antipasti. primi piatti and secondo. Especially in France. consider the cuisine sightseeing for your palate. And when you know the budget options, eating at the corner cafe or bistro costs only a little more than a lunch at a fast food joint. Most countries have a plate of the day. That's a "plats du jour" here. A hand written menu in the local language only with a small selection indicates a good value. And a house salad makes a quick and healthy meal. In France, remember: bread is free. Just hold up your basket to ask. Don't snap your fingers and say "garçon". That's rude. In France, a free carafe of tap water is either at your table or will be quickly. if you ask. I drink for local favorites. Here, a glass of house wine is cheaper than a soft drink. Over here, slow service is often good service. In a nice restaurant, the table is yours for the entire evening. To get the bill, you need to ask for it, sometimes persistently. Tipping is often unnecessary. This varies from country to country, get advice from the locals.

SBUX at the Stock Market.

Script.
(see the drinks ordered in bold)

So the market took a big deep which means a lot of folks are stressed because their portfolios are not as valuable as they once were. But know the dial is steadily climbing and there’re still plenty of places out there wanting to give you the bad news but here at wallstrip we like to take lemons and make lemonade.
We see the recent market correction as a big opportunity…one second…
Hello! Yes, I am. I’m on my way there now. OK! Milk and sugar. Ok, all right, no problem.
So, where was I? Right, so these recent market correction is actually a great opportunity to get in on several great stocks that have deepened low enough to offer an excellent entry point. And first on the wallstrip list is a big, bold, epicurus brand that everyone knows about but not everyone owns: starbucks. For the first time since late 2005 starbucks is trading just below 30. Now everyone knows the story of this giant coffee retailer and how its innovating chairman Howard Schultz has taken the company…one second…
Yes. OK, 3 splenda, got it!
So like I was saying, right now might be a great time to get in on starbucks. They just announced plans to expand like 40,000 stores over one half of them outside the US and with the recent leak of Howard Schultz memo, the one where he talks about the watering down of the Starbucks experience, we can trust that he’s not going to rest on his laurels when it comes to quality…Oh my god…Sorry…
Yes! Chai latte, large, OK.
So, since going public in 1992, Starbucks share price has gone up 4400 percent and despite the reason their stock has taken, their first quarter earning went up 18 percent. They’re opening 8 stores a day, and customers all over the world love using their gift cards…Oh my god…hold on one second…
Yes, what would you like Howard? Yes, I’m writing it down. Nonfat, sugar free, Howa.., I’m trying to do something here…Sigh…So with record stores going away of the dinosaurs and bookstores facing stiff competition from Amazon.com their experts realize that their stores were the perfect venue to start selling CD’s, and the occasional Oprah book best seller. If you love starbucks, there’s a blog for you. It’s called starbucksgossip.com and if you hate starbucks, like maybe a certain video blog that I know that says that the coffee is always too cold, there’s a blog for you too. It’s called Ihatestarbucks.com…oh, my god, what?
Yes, Adam. Black, sugar, fine. They even have 3,000 flickr photos tied with their name, nothing ever wants or cares , it’s just their damn coffee.
What!! I’m going as fast as I can.
Small? Tall?
Thanks, Lindsay.
Hello!
Oh my god. Yes. What would you like?
Small. Nonfat. Oh, you want that iced? Yes, sure, no problem. With cream? That’s really a good idea.
