Tidings, everyone!
I'm currently out of the country--a long ways away from Burnt Lumpia Worldwide Headquarters. I figured I'd check in while I have internet access and am still semi-coherent after a couple of very long travel days and very little sleep. And for the next 10 days or so, I'll be wandering about "on assignment" for a particular magazine, sampling the local liquors and spirits of my destination.
I hope to check in on this here blog during my trip, but that may be spotty at best, depending on internet access, and how drunk I'll be.
In the meantime, I figured I'd see if anyone can guess where I am based on perhaps a very obvious clue in the picture above.
And no, I'm not in Zamunda.
More to come soon... hopefully.
give my regards to "pareng" nelson and charlize theron! hehehe be safe

I went to South Africa in 2006. I hope you have a great trip and enjoy the wonderful wines. Hopefully you will get to go to the Stellenbosch Winery. Beautiful place! Are you going on safari at all?

Enjoy being all warm and happy in South Africa. I'll be freezing my a** off with a few Mutineers in Manhattan wishing I was in SA.
Can't wait to read the piece! Have a blast!

Awesome! Can't wait to read the article. Even if you're not in Zamundi, let us know if you run into the wayward Prince Akeem.

Well, everyone has already guessed. But as a stranger who follows your blog (love the name btw), my guess is South Africa. And here's how I found out:
