One Day in Guangzhou
November 11, 2019 by 1 Comment
…e a lot of malls and shopping centers in Guangzhou as it is Asia. Most are new and modern with top stores and endless food choices. I personally recommend eating at Mercato. It’s on the 8th floor of one of the mall buildings. Mercato has great views of the busy streets below and skyline. It’s also a Jean Georges restaurant with excellent food and service. Excellent food at Mercato in Guangzhou, China So that’s basically how I spent my one day in G…

…e only really 4 or 5 hotels on Bioko that you can stay in. The best is the new Sofitel which costs between $400-$500 per night. There was no shot I was paying that when the average price is about $200 per night. I ended up going with a Lonely Planet recommended hotel called the Hotel de Bahia which was right on the harbor overlooking all the oil rigs and construction. It also featured a very good restaurant and a patio filled with the best patio p…

…thing for Arsenal with Emirates Airlines who also happen to sponsor their new stadium. Can’t you see the lovely interlocking NY logo of the New York Yankees, the most recognized team logo in sports with a big Coca Cola ad right under on the front of Derek Jeter’s jersey-I think I might puke. The point is that this has to be stopped and it has to end. Corporations, agents, drugs and money are ruining sports and they are almost unwatchable for pure…
Don’t Sleep on Guatemala

…, for less than $30.00. Just to put that into perspective, where I live in New York City, a bottle at a club or bar will cost in excess of $400.00. We lived like kings in a little village, seemingly in the middle of nowhere. We spent time in Antigua – a more touristy colonial town, an hour from Guatemala City. I had been there before. I was eager to get back because I remembered the great restaurants and fun nightlife. Antigua is the number one pl…

…ingers crossed) to getting it back today so I can actually look though the new US Passport which is now an electronic passport-not sure what that means but I guess it has some electronic chip inside. They even give you a manual to read up on it but I haven’t yet. I didn’t really get a chance to see it on Friday because I sent it out as soon as I received it but it did look pretty cool and even included historic US quotes on each page. I love quote…

Pura Vida en Costa Rica

Costa Rica is the new hotspot for Americans to go and experience nature at it’s best. Normally that would be a red flag for me to stay away but I can’t…Costa Rica is awesome. There is so much to do in a country that isn’t that big. Get to San Jose and rent a car and drive around the country. There are a million different things to do, something to suit everyone. In the center of Costa Rica are the Tabacon Natural Hot Springs (above) which are stu…
Bermuda

…da is often forgotten about by most people I know because it’s so close to New York. It’s only a 2 hour flight but it doesn’t often come up as a place to shoot off to for a getaway. The more mainstream Caribbean places generally come up more often. However, Bermuda is awesome. The restaurants are world class, the culture is awesome with the Bermuda shorts and the English influence. But most of all, the beaches are tremendous. As you can see above…
