The summer is slowly coming to an end, but that doesn't mean you can't still take a trip. Here are some tidbits of information to take into account for the last trip of the summer.
1. Street Food - Ah, who doesn't love trying the mystery food on a stick? Well, the mystery can land you in bed or the bathroom for a few days. Be careful, particularly if you've also been trying the local alcoholic beverages. 2. Brushing Teeth When Traveling - Many a traveler has shown strict discipline in avoiding sketchy water at a travel destination, yet they still get sick. Why? The brush their teeth with tap water! Don't! 3. Deadly Ice Cubes - If you are concerned about the quality of water at a destination, don't make a common mistake. What is it? Drinks with ice cubes. The ice cubes are made from the same water! 4. Garbage Bag Pants - Despite it being roasting in the summer, many historical sites will require you to wear pants to enter. You can usually rent garbage bag pants around these areas. They look like pants, but are made of the garbage bag material. 5. Russia, Friends and Vodka - Russia is a great place to visit. The people are friendly and vodka drinking is very common. Have fun, but use your common sense. Some Russians are simply too friendly if you know what I mean. 6. Rubber Bottom Backpacks - If you are going to do some backpacking across a region, make sure to buy a backpack with a hard rubber bottom. It prevents rips and such when you set the pack down, which you will do often. 7. Yelling at Thais - Thailand is the land of smiles, but it doesn't mean everyone is happy. Culturally, raising your voice is a very bad move. Never yell at Thais. It will not help, but will hurt you. 8. Air Courier Flights - Yes, they really exist. You can fly for next to nothing to some exotic location. You can only take one bag and usually have to return in 7 days. The shorter the notice you need, the cheaper the flights. 9. Asian Airport Relaxation - If you find yourself stuck in an airport in Asia for a bit, take a look around. Most have massage spas on the premises or just outside the front. It beats trying to sleep in uncomfortable seats. 10. Keep Kids Interested - Kids get bored when traveling from one destination to another. Video games are annoying to those around you, so try something else to keep them interested. A Nomad Travel Journal is a great idea. I have to admit I am addicted to travel. Experiencing another culture and way of life is just tremendous. Of course, you need to know how to laugh at yourself as well. Have a great trip.
