Ahh, Asia. A quixotic mélange of countries, peoples, ideologies, history and . . . fun! Nothing makes your holiday a complete and utter joy by simply smiling and joining in. Yes, of course, you may not speak Mandarin or Korean, but that shouldn't stop you. Google Translate is a…

Won’t you take me to donkey town?

Every place needs its day in the sun, no matter what. Humans need a place to reside, perhaps with a sense of pride, even if there is little to boast about. Some of us have the capacity and ability to jet off to places new, while others never (or rarely) experience the freedom…

Less is more when it comes to flying

Are you the type where, when you're flying somewhere, you never quite seem to get it right when it comes to packing your suitcase, or you goof up what kinds of socks and pants to where? Do you always manage to overfill your carry-on to the point where it almost doesn't fit in the…

Tokyo capsule hotel

Japan is one of those places that, once you've gone, you'll incessantly want to return to again and again. And if you haven't been, then you'll surely have an aneurism when you are presented with your Smörgåsbord of choices for things to do there.

The 53 Second flight

Here's a nutty, but ultimately understandable (maybe) story of how airlines price their flights. One would expect that prices would be based on demand, season of the year, or perhaps even special events (such as the World Cup.) Of course, all of these are true, but when you try and work your way…
