Hi T, We’re so glad that you like our blog! The main reason that N (my wife) writes so many blog posts is to share what we learn during our travels, so we’re very happy that you learned about the cultures of the places that we visited! I would have never guessed it before this…
Hey A! I’m glad you enjoyed our blog! We really like to try new foods and learn about new cultures, and they’re fun to write about too. Where have you been on your travels? The strangest thing I saw was in Cambodia: a guy was carrying a small pig on his motorbike! Two other guys…
Hey J! I’m doing very well! We are having a great time, and we appreciate your support! My wife, N, writes most of the blog posts and takes most of the photos, and she’s really happy that you like them. In some countries, our time was pretty short, but we spent about three months in…
Hi J, Everything is great right now! We are in Tokyo, Japan, and it’s a really big, interesting city! They have a lot of things here that you can’t find anywhere else in the world. Just last week, we saw robot boxing! We, too, think that the countries that we visited are pretty awesome. I…
I was recently asked: Based on all of the places you’ve been…, which one has been the best of all? We have liked many of the places we’ve visited, so picking a single “best” one isn’t easy. I’ll consider the following criteria: People: Is the city diverse? Are the people interesting? Are they generally nice?…

Cambodia had a lot to recommend it. Regardless of what’s in the guide books, here’s what we enjoyed and remember the most – now that we’re two months removed: B’s List Being rich! From being able to get so many massages to paying $15 for medical care that would have cost thousands back home <link coming>,…
We were in Sihanoukville, a beach resort town, for a week. Tubing: The end of Otres 1 Beach closer to town (as opposed to the end closer to Otres 2) has a bunch of kiosks for water sports. (One of them even has these boots that make you hover in the air using hydraulic pressure;…
Neighborhood: Boeung Keng Kang 1 (BKK1) Also called: N/A Pros: Not as many guesthouses, which means that you can see how people actually live and the level of pestering (for things other than tuk tuks) is lower. The food is more authentic, especially from the local market (which you won’t find in any guidebook or site). It’s not close to the Russian…
