life logistics: Buy Korean
http://plansmall.blogspot.com/2010/09/buy-korean.html
Saturday, September 4, 2010. There is much we could learn from the people of South Korea, but one of the things that has repeatedly struck us is how much stuff that it manufactured here is consumed here. Coming from America, particularly in the Northeast, seeing foreign cars and electronics is common. It is almost more surprising when someone has chosen to buy Kodak or RCA rather than Sony or Panasonic. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Our Year In Asia. World clock (timeanddate.com).

life logistics: Vietnam
http://plansmall.blogspot.com/2010/12/vietnam.html
Thursday, December 16, 2010. I've rarely been as happy to get to the airport as I was in Ho Chi Minh City. It was an instant return to order and quiet. Vietnam is one of very few places we've been on this trip that I was truly happy to leave. I'm glad we saw what we saw – only a small sample but it felt like more than enough. Mui Ne was a great place to spend a week at the beach. Our small hotel was a great deal, and we ate some of the best seafood we've ever had. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

life logistics: The Cab Driver and Kung-Fu
http://plansmall.blogspot.com/2010/09/cab-driver-and-kung-fu.html
Monday, September 20, 2010. The Cab Driver and Kung-Fu. The morning we left Shenyang it was rainy and it was 6:45am. We were staying in a hotel under construction on a street that was also under construction, and we hadnt thought to have the hotel right down airport in Chinese for us (do this anytime you take a cab in China). This may seem obvious from the two stories relayed here, but instincts are not lost in translation. Trust them. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Our Year In Asia.

life logistics: Back to the Future
http://plansmall.blogspot.com/2010/11/back-to-future.html
Saturday, November 6, 2010. Back to the Future. Tokyo was a whirlwind. We were so happy to get to spend time with so many friends and family. After a lot of chatting and planning my folks made it to Tokyo for ten great days. It was a weird and wonderful experience to see them in Tokyo, and we hope they had a great trip they'll remember for a long time to come. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). We're going traveling in Asia. We've done a lot of research about going and a lot of thinking about leaving.

life logistics: Do You Speak English?
http://plansmall.blogspot.com/2010/09/do-you-speak-english.html
Monday, September 13, 2010. Do You Speak English? In South Korea that answer was often a resounding yes. Thats not. Totally true actually, the answer was often no, but then people. Would go on to have lengthy conversations with us in English. We. Learned fairly quickly that starting a conversation in English was. More effective than asking first. What struck us as most interesting about many of these conversations. In English was what it seemed to reveal about Korean as a language. Often employ....

life logistics: Tokyo: We Came, We Saw, We Ate.
http://plansmall.blogspot.com/2010/11/tokyo-we-came-we-saw-we-ate.html
Monday, November 8, 2010. Tokyo: We Came, We Saw, We Ate. 5 There was a piece of sea urchin negiri sushi that I ate at Sushiko Tsukiji that I'm still thinking about. It was a perfect bite of food. Clean and creamy and briny. 4 One afternoon we walked to Futako-Tamagawa from Sangenjaya. We stopped in at a ramen shop. Along the way. We probably ate ramen 10 times this trip and this one was the best. Perfectly balanced. Good bite to the noodles. Rich flavorful broth without being greasy. That was top three ...

life logistics: Thailand Recommendations
http://plansmall.blogspot.com/2010/11/thailand-recommendations.html
Sunday, November 28, 2010. We had an absolute blast in Thailand. Can't recommend it enough. I only wish that we'd had more time there. We stayed some really great place, ate some really great food, saw some really great things. Here's some of our greatest hits should you be heading to Bangkok and/or Koh Lanta. Both the food court and the movie theater are worth a visit. A beautiful temple complex containing a 46 meter reclining Buddha. One of the most impressive things we've seen. Our Year In Asia.

life logistics: Like Clockwork
http://plansmall.blogspot.com/2010/09/like-clockwork.html
Sunday, September 5, 2010. We have been traveling in South Korea for close to a month and can report that both the train and bus systems here are nearly flawless. Both run frequently, are consistently on time and cars/cabins are clean and well appointed. Bus travel here resembles something much closer to overland business-class travel than what you might think of Greyhound. Should you ever be planning intra-South Korea transport the below two websites came in very handy for us. Our Year In Asia.
