  • Peru Travel Info
    Peru Tips & Information Compiled by Alberto and Delphine As of December 18, 2015 Note: these are my own notes for ourselves and our friends who traveled with us. It is not a public recommendations, so feel free to use as a reference, but your experience may differ from ours. To Do BEFORE Traveling: • Make a copy of the main page of your passport and keep the copy separate from your passport, just in case. It is not a bad idea to keep a copy of the photo in your smart phone or tablet, in case you need to request a duplicate. • Call your cell company and look into international plans. Every plan is different: o We normally get an international plan for emergency purposes (you can still make calls without the plan, but the international plan lowers your international call costs). o Most definitely get an international text plan. Texting is a very effective and cheap way to communicate. The international text plan will save you money. o Disable call and data roaming…you could end up with a large phone bill if you don’t. Only turn on call roaming when making international calls. Consult with your cell service about this. • International cellular plans can be expensive to use locally. If you need to make local calls for taxis, etc., consider getting a burner (i.e., “pre-pago”) phone. See information for local telephone below. • Call your credit card company and let them know where you are traveling and the dates you are traveling. If you don’t do this they may cancel your card when they see international transactions.

    Tender Lamb Kebab with Cinnamon (Kebab Daygee) (Tested) Serves 4 to 6 In our Western culture, we automatically assume that anything referred to as a “kebab” comes on a stick! But in Afghanistan it seems, kebabs can be virtually anything: meat or chicken, skewered or not, barbecued or oven baked or pan fried, cut into chunks, ground, or eaten as a chop. Perhaps we can assume that any type of meat that is cut into chunks qualifies as a kebab? Whatever unorthodox form it takes, this delicious combination of lamb, onions and cinnamon is meant to be devoured and scooped up with slabs of fresh steaming naan. This dish is incredibly easy to make – marinate, then bake. Take note that it marinates overnight, but marinating in the morning to bake in the evening works well, too. I purchased a piece of lamb shoulder and cut my meat into chunks. Lamb shoulder has nice marbling and makes for a very tender cut. You could use lamb stew meat as well, which is a combination of different cuts of lamb. I will be making this dish again and again, it ranks as one of the best lamb dishes I’ve ever had. And DON’T forget the cinnamon. Sprinkle liberally with plain ground cinnamon once you’ve put the lamb into the serving dish. Serve with a platter of crunchy cucumbers, a green salad, or see this recipe previously posted for tomato salad. Ingredients ¾ cup Greek yogurt, or whole-milk yogurt 3 tbsp. olive oil 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 tbsp. ground coriander ½ tsp.

The major types can be roughly defined as: East Asian with its origins in Imperial China and now encompassing modern Japan and the Korean peninsula; Southeast Asian which encompasses Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines; South Asian states that are made up of India, Burma, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Pakistan as well as several other countries in this region of the Vietnamese meal, in Asian culture food often serves as the centerpiece of social continent; Central Asian and Middle gatherings Eastern. Terminology "Asian cuisine" most often refers to East Asian cuisine (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean), Southeast Asian cuisine and South Asian cuisine. In much of Asia, the term does not include the area's native cuisines. For example, in Hong Kong and mainland China, Asian cuisine is a general umbrella term for Japanese cuisine, Korean cuisine, Filipino cuisine, Thai cuisine, Vietnamese cuisine, Malaysian and Singaporean cuisine, and Indonesian cuisine; but Chinese cuisine and Indian cuisine are excluded. The term Asian cuisine might also be used to Indonesian cuisine address the eating establishments that offer a wide array of Asian dishes without rigid cuisine boundaries; such as selling satay, gyoza or lumpia for an appetizer, som tam, rojak or gado-gado for salad, offering chicken teriyaki, nasi goreng or beef rendang as the main course, tom yam and laksa as soup, and cendol or ogura ice for dessert.

  • There's a Fire in the Kitchen! Andrew N. Pocius Williams College Williamstown, Massachusetts
    There’s a Fire in the Kitchen! An Empirical Analysis of Restaurants Burning Money as a Signal of Quality By Andrew N. Pocius A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts with Honors in Economics Professor Robert Gazzale Williams College Williamstown, Massachusetts May 2006 Abstract: Economic theory suggests that firms can burn (or waste) money as a signal of high quality. Firms can waste money either through pricing low or through a wasteful, conspicuous initial expenditure, but theory does not say when each strategy is optimal. This thesis uses Zagat Survey restaurant data to test empirically this theory through cross- sectional data sets. It finds that as tourism in a city increases, restaurants are more likely to spend money on décor (conspicuous initial investment) than pricing low to signal their quality. Tourism affects the optimal strategy because as tourism increases in a city, repeat business decreases. Acknowledgements I would like to acknowledge and thank several people without whom this thesis would not have been possible. I would like to thank Professors Jon Bakija, Tara Watson, and especially Robert Gazzale for comments and guidance throughout this process. Their input has allowed me to grow academically beyond my wildest dreams. For over 22 years, my parents have been there for me, through thick and thin, and this was no exception. Finally, I want to thank my close friends and the members of Williams Varsity Crew for dragging me away from this thesis occasionally and giving me a productive (and sometimes not productive) release.
