A lot of us travel to new places because we want to experience and learn from the unfamiliar. But even if you’ve been all over the world — including in your own backyard — you can still get tripped up by something. It could be a blizzard warning in Los Angeles. A transportation strike in […]
Asia (Non-Middle East)
Throwback Thursday: Google Lens Time
New reader or not, you might quickly learn that I rather enjoy (attempting to learn) foreign languages. I can certainly make do with a few of them, and read enough of a trio of others to navigate public transit and menus, but I’m still appreciative of offline translators, for instance, the duo of Google Translate/Google […]

Quite […]

In late 2016, I visited Baku, Azerbaijan (in Azeri, Bakı, Azərbaycan) after learning about the ease of getting a tourist visa if you were a passenger on Azerbaijan Airlines’ New York JFK-Baku GYD flight. With more time, I would have explored the vast biodiversity of the country; however, this short trip was focused on Baku, the […]
Tokyo Narita’s Terminal 3 Is Getting a 24-Hour Fast Food Spot
Parts of the terminal buildings at Tokyo Narita (NRT) might be open all day long, but don’t expect a Dubai or Bangkok 24-hour atmosphere of passenger hubbub and last-minute shopping.
