Welcome to the October 12, 2007 edition of On the Moneyed Midways, the blogosphere's only collection of the top posts from the best of this past week's business or money-related blog carnivals!
We're absolutely enchanted by a post about doing business in Thailand - and it doesn't help that the post is from an individual whose site is set up to trade artwork produced there!
