To clarify, I mean you have an envelope with some pages o…

My Saudia Long Haul Experience: Best Economy Class Ever I took four long haul flights on Saudia (Saudi Arabian Airlines) between US and S.E Asia in addition to a Umrah stopover. Booking: easy enough to book a multi-city trip, but the website was a bit clunky for sure. Advance seat selection was not free on my basic economy ticket and 2 free checked bags were included. I did not need to do a credit ca…

Review of overnight ferry from Osaka (Japan) to Busan (South Korea) with PanStar I took the ferry from Osaka to Busan in January 2025, and as I don’t find many information online, here is my review. At the time of writing this, this cruise sails on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

However now it seems the airlines makes you wait in the same line as the people who don’t check in online, thus defeating the purpose of checking in online if you have a …

Busted by Corrupt Cops in Mexico City I did something stupid in Mexico City last night. I walked down the street with an open can of hard seltzer. I thought if I hold my hand over the name and drink quickly nobody will notice. Stupid I now realize. Anyway a cop car must have driven by as suddenly a cop came up to me. The area I was in was between Roma Nte and Doctores and there were…
