Radiation free Matcha.

The Matcha sold by Harney & Sons in New York comes with a letter of reassurance from the producer. Clean food is as important as clean thoughts in church.

I am afraid to ask ...

what else this restaurant washroom sink may have been used for.

How community gardens are kept clean.

Too bad the sign is vintage.

Details at the Mercer.

This liquid hand soap is another reason I love the Mercer. Their powers of observation are just about as awesome as mine.

Live dangerously.

Maybe next time.

No, I am not going to name this restaurant. Part of the fun is looking for the As.

Michelin Stars are passe.

I recommend you choose your restaurants in New York by sanitary grading. Prominently displayed in windows.

The Mercer needs to lower their standards;)

If a wrapped drinking straw results in sheer joy, imagine the reaction a factory-wrapped plastic mattress elicits in me. My apologies to the guests staying a floor below.

Sold.

At first, I thought, "How thoughtful!" The owner was warning passersby about Bed Bugs. Then I saw the 'No' that was obscured by tape. And ... immediately called the movers to pick this gem up;)

... but not necessary.

Seriously, do we need more people talking on their mobile phones? In washroom stalls? Think of the germ trail. And the sound effects.

Call me old-fashioned ...

Awesome Possum.

Day Two and my Kale Shake at the Opus Hotel is made perfectly. This shake is a great way to start your day and incorporate into your travels almost wherever you go. A high-powered blender is a must -- possum doesn't blend that easily;) Once again the recipe is 2 cups of organic kale, 1 ripe organic banana and 1 cup of spring water.

Yeah Opus!

Some people like to have "Travel Companions" waiting for them in their hotel room. I am perfectly content with slippers. Two pairs is pure joy.

Of course I found this on my wall.

And it wasn't a painting:(

A fine example of cross contamination.

Why, oh why, deliver clean bedding on a luggage trolley? I appreciate it is easier to transport, but it really does defeat the purpose of changing the bed sheets. And it makes the Hygiene Hunter cranky.

Finally, a flu that's not contagious.

Definitely not a piece of wood.

This seriously dehydrated creature near the Eiffel Tower is a reminder to WATCH WHERE YOU STEP. Otherwise you could track creature germs into your home.

A sunbaked roach?

More likely dead since cockroaches tend to be nocturnal. But since I did not poke and prod and because I am feeling generous today, let's go with on vacation from pesting.

My mistake.

Apparently, this was a buffet. At least for someone or something:( A neat predator nevertheless.
