Something tells me I'd never approach that guy to take that picture.

I think everyone is fitting into the new quarters well.

We hope it will also soon be available in bookstores, but that has yet to be determined. Keep an eye out for the Amazon link within a few days.

I know in the past I've blogged my trip, then once I got home, cleaned it up and added specific facts, links, grammatical changes, and romantic encounters that never occurred.

What is with Bloomberg's insistence of military uniformity in this city? I'm partial to the eco-friendly checker cabs myself.

Yeah, good take on the whole situation. Really ridiculous how the whole situation was interpreted. God forbid people had to sit around and talk with each other! Mon, 15 Nov 2010 14:26:34 +0000 http://www.theexpeditioner.com/2010/11/15/tragedy-on-the-high-seas-makes-cnn-and-carnival-look-like-extreme-sissies/#IDComment109897612 http://www.theexpeditioner.com/2010/11/03/do-australian-travelers-really-not-know-how-to-tip/#IDComment107810332 It's weird, as an American, I'm usually taken aback when I realize I'm traveling somewhere where tipping isn't expected (a nice surprise). I think overall, it's safe to go with 15% no matter what. Even if it's high for someplace you're traveling, it's not like it's going to break the bank, and it's a nice gesture. And if it's a little low (like for a waiter in NYC), it's not too much less than what they were expecting. At least no one is getting stiffed. (Regarding the waitress bringing back change: that's expected. Just leave the amount meant for a tip on the table, or send it via PayPal directly here to TheExpeditioner.com) Thu, 4 Nov 2010 17:08:38 +0000 http://www.theexpeditioner.com/2010/11/03/do-australian-travelers-really-not-know-how-to-tip/#IDComment107810332 http://www.theexpeditioner.com/2010/11/03/a-how-to-on-surviving-long-flights/#IDComment107584464 Embarrassingly enough, I had both my toothpaste and hair gel confiscated by the TSA this weekend because I'm so not used to taking carry-on baggage with me. This has nothing to do with long flights, but I just wanted to share this. However, my own two cents regarding long-haul flights: choose your seat wisely. If you're a sleeper: get a window seat. If you're a roamer/frequent bathroom use: get an aisle seat. Also, right before you check in, take a look online to see which seats have been sold. You can easily change your seat at the last minute to an empty row to allow you to stretch out for the duration of the flight.

However, there is also a dog sleeping under that chair and I'm the only one in Siem Reap that seems to be blogging at 10:30 a.m., so I think I should get a pass.

Wed, 22 Sep 2010 13:27:02 +0000 http://www.theexpeditioner.com/2010/09/22/the-end-of-an-era-an-ode-to-my-camera/#IDComment100348127 http://www.theexpeditioner.com/2010/09/21/how-many-days-can-i-travel-on-1000-your-guide-to-the-cheapest-countries-to-travel/#IDComment100284966 Ha, well actually Canada's dollar is basically equal to the U.S. dollar right now, plus travel costs and expenses are not much different (unless you're buying lots of books), so I figured that the statistic for U.S. travel would be a good marker for Canada as well. Good info about Korea too. And about China, that may be a little low on expenses in my chart, but again I tried to balance it out with rural travel too. Were you traveling in more expensive areas of China?

Tue, 21 Sep 2010 20:52:17 +0000 http://www.theexpeditioner.com/2010/09/21/how-many-days-can-i-travel-on-1000-your-guide-to-the-cheapest-countries-to-travel/#IDComment100249936 http://www.theexpeditioner.com/2010/09/15/what-did-you-do-when-you-returned-from-angkor-wat/#IDComment99068993 Whoops, fixed that link. Yeah, I think he's probably referring to race in the sense of regional ancestry from that time period more than anything else, but I see your point.
