The Apple Store in New York is supposed to be something to behold. Made almost complete of glass the Apple Store in NYC *never closes* ... not even on Christmas Day.

So we've seen the world's 2nd largest Apple Store in London, England, the Apple 'cube' in San Francisco and the new Sydney Apple Store in Australia. We can't NOT see the most famous one in New York!

This is one of Brisbane's iconic attractions and we have to do it as soon as we can. The views must be amazing! Unfortunately you're not allowed to take cameras (no loose items are allowed) but they take photos of the climbers as you go up.

Thought I'd start my Wishlist off with something fairly disgusting ... ;) And no dodgy comments about it being an aphrodisiac please haha

... but swilling a little snake blood – that’s another matter.

The blood of poisonous snakes is considered the supreme aphrodisiac in many parts of eastern Asia, including Thailand.

The blood of a cobra - the supreme aphrodisiac. Apparently any poisonous snake will do, but cobra blood is definitely the crème de la crème of snake bloods. This has elevated snake farming, particularly that of cobras, to both an art and a profitable business for enterprising farmers.

As with virtually all foods, a fresh product is considered best. If you feel your sexual batteries need charging, a shot of cobra blood may be what the doctor ordered. If you choose this aperitif be forewarned: unscrupulous proprietors have been known to substitute other substances for snake blood. It is probably best insisting the blood be extracted while you watch. This can be done at Klong Toey market on the corner of Ratchada and Rama IV. An enterprising proprietor will let you observe as he extracts the blood for your drink. Some people simply gulp down a shot of the stuff, but this is a bit crass. A more civilized practice is to drink blood that has been mixed with alcohol – sort of a Bloody Mary made with real blood.
