  1. I actually think we continue to see a drop on major airlines. All the cheap fares and stimies are pretty much gone. Not to mention masks and lack of booze are both a non issue anymore.
  2. Chelsea got battered today so that is good. Newcastle is flying though
  3. YES!! I put a scarf on at half. You're welcome Spurs nation
  4. You are almost on top of beer corner. That stays open pretty late and usually lots of street food in and around. In the past I think they shut it down around 10 or 11 but we were there around 11 and it was going strong. It will probably take you about an hour from landing to be at your airbnb. I'd double check with you host. He/she probably knows better than me. But definitely make it over to Pho 10. Its about a 10 min walk from your place.
  5. Harry scored right before I went into the conveinence store with my daughter. I was happy so I let her have a soda. Came out to the denied goal. Poured her soda on the ground [emoji23]
  6. If you don't have a hotel yet in Ha Noi (assuming you are even going to Ha Noi) I would HIGHLY recommend the La Siesta Premium Hang Be. We stayed our last night. Fantastic
  7. I can see my old office from the broadcast set
  8. Of course its a former player He's one of our own?
  9. WIN and IN! We are definitely in need of turn around match for the season
  10. Bangkok. I won't do much on this as so many people have been. Highlight was a bike tour around the city and then riding a motorbike taxi through rush hour traffic and not dying. Also dinner at Sra Bua. Michelin star 18 course meal with wine pairings for $250 per man.
  11. Angkor. No words to explain the magnitude and beauty of this place. Just magical for me. I think we hit six temples total.
  12. Siem Reap. I can not speak highly enough about this town. In fact the neighborhood of Wat Bo was just named like 3rd best neighborhood in the world. Not seeing that but its getting chic with little cafes, restaurants etc. The amount of construction is unbelievable and we saw at least 4 super cars. McLaren's, lambos etc. There are 4-5 star hotels everywhere. Its like South Beach. Great town to just walk around. Excellent food. Beer larvae ftw. They are really odd with the currency. They love $$ but will only take nice clean bills. Anything beat up. Negative. ATMs will actually disperse $100s. Pub street was a nightmare with constant hounding about drugs and women. NTTIAWWT I knew the minute I first stepped foot in Viet Nam that I would return and I did. Siem Reap and Cambodia is 100% a return spot for me. I could do another day of Temples, another day of chilling in one of the many great hotels and then head down to their beaches which are supposed to be pretty amazing as well.
  13. Luang Prabang, Laos. Lived up to the reputation. Really quaint town. Lots of cafes and restaurants. The night market was kind of overwhelming and made it hard to get to the other part of the town where some good eats and drinks were. Tour up the Mekong (not the actual name btw) to the Pak Ou caves. Then a bus ride to the Kuang Si waterfalls. Yes I went in and yes it was fucking cold.
  14. Vientiane, Laos. The capital and center of business etc. Dusty and dirty. We did happen onto the annual boat race which was kind of cool but not a whole lot going on but temples and Wats out the ass. Beers are a dollar and quiet tasty. Buddha Park was nice but its 30 mins out of town and you can tour it in 45 mins. One night max here. The restaurant in the Crowne was damn good. Must be where are the dignitaries and business people stay.
  15. Ha Noi. Always a great city to visit. Unfortunately due to weather they canceled all boats out on Ha Long Bay. We were in the van about to leave the city and they called and cxld. What a huge disappointment so we did Ninh Binh aka Ha Long on land. We got some bikes and peddled around with our guide down a bunch of tiny little country roads. That was awesome. Ninh Binh was nice but clearly not Ha Long. Open Jeep tour and street food tour. Fun to just walk around and eat/drink. Beer corner is 10x the size it was on my last visit 8 year ago. The women of Viet Nam have discovered implants, skin care, and fashion. 8 years ago hardly a woman worth looking at. Now beautiful women everywhere.
