A very cool site on unique asian products. A ton of interesting and exotic items to go over, including a good amount of stuff from china.

I am seriously considering getting the Thailand RedBull shipped over in its pure form and man that Blue Scorpion Vodka looks like a good present.

I wonder if they drop ship? Might be a good E-bay side business.

The scorpion vodka is cool enough. You can get Tequila like that even in the states, although not legally I think. If it is anything like the Tequila I go. The scorpion will disintegrate (sp) in a few years.

But the Red Bull over there isn't very good in my opinion. Without the carbonation, it tastes all syrupy and tart. Try Caribou, it's roughly the same thing. If you don't like the Caribou drink, then you probably won't like the Red Bull.

Ahhh the redbull in thailand is great. It comes in these little brown bottles like something you'd buy from a pharmacist, and is like 10x stronger than the stuff you get in Britain.

Many a good night I have spent drinking Redbull Buckets and Bottles of SangSom
