The Collective, a niche New Zealand dairy company, received this interesting bit of correspondence: "We are travellers from Russia and we came to Hong Kong and we wanted to eat but we had to steal some food from the supermarket and we have stolen your yoghurt. It was amazing and tasted like the best yoghurt in the world." The dairy folk replied: "Golly. Now being upholders of all things true we should be telling you guys how horrified we are that you have done something rather stinky ... but in saying that we find your gumption rather funny ... Just don't do it again!"
Pythons put the squeeze on
Professional masseurs at the Bali Heritage Reflexology and Spa in Jakarta are offering snake massages using pythons of varying sizes, AFP reports. "It is a very unique sensation," says one customer, as the snakes slid over him during a recent session, adding the treatment "gives you an adrenalin rush". Three reptiles named Jasmine, Muscle and Brown were draped over his neck, rolled around on his stomach and back. The snakes' mouths are tied shut with tape and their entire experience lasts 90 minutes and costs about $45.
Not a shred of evidence
A visitor to Greenlane Nosh writes: "I know Nosh is known for its unique products compared to every other supermarket, and that every supermarket must show product of origin for the fresh fruit and vege. But when did New Zealand start having coconut trees?"
