At the art museum in Shanghai, only in China will you find 2 out of 4 warming fridge. The drinks are warmer than room temperature, I'm sure they intent to serve it cold.
Haven't really planned anything for Asia, just started looking at visa requirements for a bunch of countries such as Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Burma, and a few others. It looks like will need to plan ahead, rather than plan as I go.
As all of these countries require a visa prior to entry. Even if visa can be obtained on arrival, for example Vietnam will need a letter of permission to get visa on arrival. This visa option is only available if traveling by air, so making taking by bus or train impossible.
On top of that, the visa fees accepted are USD and local currency...
For this Asia trip, I'm packing more than wanted. As the main destination will start in the northern part of China, Shanghai, I've packed a few more long sleeve than Europe.
Everything is in zip lock bags. These bags keep everything in the back pack, and waterproof! Great tip from my good friend V.K
Looking forward to Asia, will be mixture of culture, food, and beach relaxation..
Today its kinda bizarre, for a moment I forgot which country I'm in. Forgot the local language being spoken. For a moment, I thought I was in Germany, or Spain, or Ukraine. Took me a few seconds of to figure it out. Some of these cities are just so similar is so many ways.
I think I can use a break from traveling. Looking forward to going home.
Been in Washington DC for the last 2 days, it feels I have miscalculated how much DC has to offer.
DC is the only city that I have been to that has the Paris charm. The Mall strip where all the Smithsonian Museums are located, as well as memorials and monuments, has the beauty and grandness similar to Paris. There isn't a place I have been to that has so much open green area, with magnificent buildings as backdrop. It's definitely a great city for photoshoot.
Another thing that I have miscalculated is the amount of quality museums there are, and they are all FREE. I think I can easily...
