Join the in crowd at the Cafe. It's been quite a week in The TransitCafe.

In the SHY Interview, Miguel Ko, president of Starwood Hotels & Resorts Asia/Pacific, reveals that the thing which irks him most about travel is "travelling to the US and being treated by the airport security, immigration 
and custom officials as if you are a terrorist suspect". No surprise, Miguel is not a big fan of George W. Bush, but he does admire Warren Buffet for his philanthropic choices.

Cyber sluts have a laugh

In Rant And Rant, we ask, "What's the one website in the world that you just can't get enough of?" Cyber Slut loves jokebox.com ("there's a joke for every occasion") while The Scribe goes for theonion.com. George W Bush jokes seem to pop up everywhere in the Café this week. Try this one:

Donald Rumsfeld is briefing President Bush: "Yesterday, three Brazilian soldiers were killed."
 "Oh no!" exclaims the President, "that's terrible!" His staff is stunned at this unprecedented display of emotion, watching as Bush sits, head in hands. Finally, he looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"

Saint Tropez loses its chic

The Wrap this week discovers that while the sky over Brazil is bluer than blue, and  the French are being rude about Saint Tropez. We also find out why English men are tossing out their sarongs – along with their soccer captain - and Sydney gets a bashing from a 10-second tourist.

Take Me There: Sealed edition

Take Me There has a "blue" theme, too – this time we've had one of our super snoopers giving the once-over to an adults-only resort in Cancun, Mexico where the naked afternoon water polo sessions are especially popular with middle-aged American women. And Alexander Melchers, of Melchers-Singapore, which built the Carlsberg Sky Tower on Sentosa and is also developing the Singapore Flyer, explains where he has found paradise.
