Places I've Been

I absolutely love traveling. Thankfully it's a lot easier now, without visa hassles. There are still other constraints on me though, of course.

Here are the countries I've been to so far, in alphabetical order. I plan to write more about some and link from here.

Here's where I'd like to travel next ;)

I stayed in a room in a condo using AirBnB. It turned out to be a cramped and cluttered place with a low ceiling. The family I stayed with watched soap operas the entire time.↩︎
I've been there countless times, when I used to live in Seattle.↩︎
I was there for just one day, when I missed my connecting AirFrance flight to Paris, due an issue with the bus company that was in charge of transfering people from domestic to international terminal. It was an extremely hot and humid day. I wanted to see something iconic. I asked a taxi driver to take me to Gateway of India but he said "Why do you want to go all the way over there in the heat and traffic? It will take several hours!". I listened to his wise counsel, and just lounged in the shade in Juhu beach.↩︎
I was there for just 1 day, on a layover to India. I didn't have a visa, but I talked the immigration officer into giving me a one day stamp just so I don't have to wait in the airport. But once I got to the hotel, I ended up sleeping most of the time. When I finally woke up, I walked around and got breakfast, and then it was time to head back to the airport. It was still a fun adventure nonetheless.↩︎
Didn't get to see much of it as we were there just for a few hours, waiting for the bus to Cadiz. It was over 100F so we mostly just chilled in a restaurant.↩︎
