First of all, Happy 2023! Mexico, Turkey, Japan, AND Georgia for good measure– how am I going to make a “top five meals of 2022” list when I was in some of my favorite countries for food? Better just take one from each, and then reveal a mystery country to finish the list off. Cue […]

Free Guided Hikes at U.S. State Parks
Elephant Rock, Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada, United StatesCome New Year’s Day, state parks around the United States will be hosting something called First Day Hikes.

Hong Kong Shoves Aside Most COVID-19 Restrictions
I cheekily made the title “Hong Kong Shoves Aside Most COVID-19 Restrictions” because I’m a bit cynical about many places entirely eliminating pandemic entry requirements.

Tengak-tengok signifies “looking around repeatedly” in Indonesian. There are many bicyclists cruising the streets and cul-de-sacs (culs-de-sac? ehh) of Jakarta, hawking various foods, wares and services; much of the goods they have are just as easily found as many other parts of the world, so I tried to snap a few shots of less-common, or […]
