Rolling With Rickshaws in Mumbai |
If you're going around Mumbai's suburbs without your own car, you have a few options. You could take the buses, but the Hindi numerals and criss-crossing lines are a mess to the untrained eye. Trains are cheap but run north to south, leaving the sides untouched. And when monsoon season hits, walking may as well be swimming. What's left? Rickshaws.
Doha: More Than A Layover |
What do you with a 22hr. layover? Get the hell out of the airport, of course. Unless you're in the Premium Terminal, gorging yourself on massages and mimosas, you'll have a better time getting out and getting to know Qatar's capital city. So here's a short guide to making a fun connection through Doha, for anyone with a few (we suggest 6 or more) hours to spare.
Au Revoir, Let's Go (For Now) |
C'est fini! My research stint is over. No more cooking fast food, eating brainy desserts, attending circumcision parties, or clubbing back-to-back nights (it was strictly business, I swear).

Bordeaux is the wine capital of the world, the hub of southwest France, and a city teeming with beautiful people, wide boulevards, and several UNESCO-grade monuments.
Bordelais is someone who's lucky enough to call this place home.
Bordelais do not come from some place named Bordel. Right now, clever French students are thinking "France and français, New York and New Yorkais..." Wrong! A bordel is a brothel, or a word for any chaotic situation. Example: "Ooh-la-la, did you hear about the senator who got caught with the call girl? Quel bordel!"
Merhaba! This is my first time research-writing for Let's Go. When I'm not in class or on the road, you'll find me having a 7-11 breakfast every day (a.m., not the store). I'm the guy nursing a jar of Nutella.
