Crazy (But True) Travel Facts

Which of these did you find JUST TOO CRAZY TO BE TRUE?
For me it was the importing of camels by Saudi Arabia from Australia. That just can't be real!

That hill in New Zealand though....I'd love to hear that spoken aloud. We could also learn a few things from Sweden about recycling. How does one run out of trash to recycle!? America could never! 😂

wow we need to take a lesson from Sweden! What energy program are they running that utilize that much garbage? Another little surprise, I know they breed camel in WA and NT, but I didn't know the Saudi get some of their camels from OZ!

5 Books That'll Make Your Subway Ride Speed By
Yes, commutes can get long and boring, but with these books the time will fly by. Save your phone battery and go old school. 1. Brighton Rock / Graham Greene This is the book I'm carrying around these days, and it has one of the greatest opening lines in all of literature, in my opinion: "Hale knew, before he had been in Brighton three hours, that they meant to murder him." It's classic literature, but isn't afraid to get gritty or intense. If you're a fan of murder mysteries then definitely pick this one up. It's also masterfully written. It's been turned into a movie like 4 times or something like that, so it's a pretty exciting story. 2. From Albion to Shangri-La / Peter Doherty This collection of journals and poetry from musician Pete Doherty will literally make time fly by. There's not a lot of text on the pages, but the stuff you do see ranges from absolutely manic to borderline genius. This book will make you question things and even reflect on your own thoughts in a different way. Doherty's voice is candid, poetic, but not overwhelming. It really feels like you're meandering through someone's mind, and that makes the time go by quicker than ever. I once did 20 stops without even looking up, and made it to my destination without missing a thing. 3. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas / Hunter S. Thompson This book is literally a whirlwind. It goes by quicker than anything I've ever read (aside from the Doherty book). Thompson's writing is built for speed, so if you need to kill time you can definitely do it with this. Go on this wacky adventure and before you know it you'll be at your destination. Plus, road trip literature always makes traveling more fun. 4. Collected Works (General) So, if you encounter a collected works of Shakespeare, Poe or anyone classic you'll definitely have enough to read. Collected works also enable you to skip around a bit and read something new every day. If you're not feeling the sonnets, switch to Hamlet ya know? It also gives you a little knowledge in addition to your morning commute. 5. Poetry (general) Poetry makes time fly, you can get through a lot of it in a short amount of time and that makes the minutes go faster. You can pick up Frost, Yeats or any great poet's collected works for under 10 dollars from most major book stores. Poetry also creates a different kind of vibe when you read it, so if you're not a morning person pick up E.E. Cummings or the like, and get enlightened before you hit your desk.
Behold, This Well-Dressed Horse!
For all of us who just sort of roll out of bed and head to work/school/life every morning, meet the horse put us all to shame. Morestead, a veteran race horse, got the high fashion treatment by donning a custom three-piece suit to the 2016 Cheltenham Festival. The suit took four weeks to make and utilized almost 60 of tweed - ten times the amount used for an average man's suit. The full outfit was designed by British designer Emma Sandham-King, an apprentice of the late Alexander McQueen. That's straight up bourgie, if I do say so myself. Morestead was accompanied by champion jockey Sir Tony McCoy for the event's collaborative photoshoot. Pretty GQ-level, don't you think? You can check out a full clip of just how Morestead's suit was made in the video embedded above. Give it a watch, and then let me know: Which animal should get a custom tweed suit next?

Australia's Gold
Here's an idea. When you're planning the engagement party, be sure to make it a destination style event--to Doughnut Time--in Australia! You think I'm kidding. @TessStevens knows. #thisbishdonplay Full-on serious-ness! The confectionery operates 18 locations--only in Australia. At $6 EACH, per doughnut, it's no wonder they've got so many stores. But then again, these must be some DAMN GOOD doughnuts for people to religiously buy a 6-pack for $36! I mean, look at this picture. A glazed doughnut covered in GOLD LEAF! GAGGING! YES! I wonder, have you guys tried this place? (@mattk95 @inplainsight) Any other Aussies on Vingle that I don't know about?! Have you ever seen so many ridiculously FABULOUS doughnuts before?

The Great Wall (Beijing 07.13)
No trip to Beijing (or in fact, China) is complete without a trip to the Great Wall. I'd lived in Beijing for nearly a year before I finally made the trek out to the Great Wall. It wasn't that I hadn't wanted to go, I'd simply been waiting for my family to visit me so we could go together. After much discussion over which section of the wall to climb, we decided to go to Badaling. This is probably the most famous and definitely the most photographed section of the wall. There is convenient transportation from Beijing and the fact that it is one of the easiest sections of the Wall to hike along also means its the favourite among tourists. Since it has been well managed, it is also one of the safest parts of the wall to visit. We were told that it would be teeming with tourists but it really wasn't that bad and we had a great time clambering around. It was a very hot day when we went which might explain why there weren't many people there - it was upwards of 30 degrees Celsius! If you choose to go, make sure you take adequate clothing and footwear. Also, bring a lot of bottled water - you're going to need it. There are stalls at the base of the wall which sell water but you'll end up paying 5x the normal price (or more on a hot day....much much more!) If you have the time or you're a more confident hiker, it's definitely worth checking out some of the less well known sites like Simatai and Jinshanling. These sections haven't been restored in places so are markedly more dangerous but I've been told the views are beyond spectacular. If I get the chance to go back to the Wall on my own (or with friends who are up for a physical challenge), I'll be sure to check these out!
