In the travels section folks I will try to highlight specific, and perhaps out-of-the-way tidbits of hopefully not too useless info that you can take with you when you travel to these select places.  I’ll give brief run-downs of each country/city I’ve been in and suggest things to do/see and places to eat.

Visiting foreign cities during the summer is not the most pleasant experience – tons of people and heat and humidity.  Aim to go during off-peak/season times, and when the weather is cooler.  It is better to go into the country/rural/nature parts in the summer – save the major cities for spring or the fall.

DISCLAIMER – these are my own opinions/information based on my own experiences in each foreign city.  You may have heard different from friends or from your tourist guide book.  No matter.  Take it or leave it.
