Bangkok
Dates visited: December 30, 2014 – January 3, 2015 If you know Buddha like I know Buddha, then be prepared to be amazed and awed by what Bangkok has to offer in the “Know Your Buddha Basics” category! Prior to visiting Bangkok, if you had asked me to describe a Buddha…
Santiago
Dates visited: April 17, 2014 – April 20, 2014 Since we were flying through Santiago to get to Easter Island, I decided to spend three days in Santiago. Unfortunately, based on our interests, I realized we did not have enough things to do for three days in Santiago, so we…
Iga Ueno
Dates visited: April 1, 2013 This city isn’t on most itineraries, and wouldn’t have been on mine if it wasn’t for Rohan. He loves ninjas so we made this detour on the way back from Nara to visit the Iga-ryū Ninja Museum. You know you are in the world of…

I realized this when, during our taxi…
Moscow
Dates visited: August 4, 2012 – August 9, 2012 I visited Moscow primarily for the churches with those colorful bulbous domes. What I remember it for is (1) the most fashionably-dressed women I’ve ever seen, (2) really long escalators running deep underground to metro stations, and (3) getting stared at…
Saint Petersburg
Dates visited: August 9, 2012 – August 13, 2012 Saint Petersburg, Russia’s gateway to Europe, is 445 miles northwest of Moscow and easily reachable by Sapsan high speed trains. The proximity to Europe makes it a more popular tourist spot that Moscow so finding an English-speaking person here is easy.…
