Very well.
I spoke nearly no Vietnamese and bikepacked across rural northern Vietnam for 3 months after buying my bicycle in Hanoi.
People in the city can speak some English, but even if they can't they're so earnestly helpful that I was able to easily buy clothes, bicycle repair items, get my bicycle repaired, buy food everyday(pho lyfe) be invited to tea and then a family feast, take shelter from a rainstorm, the stories of their generosity go on.
It's definitely a good country to visit.
The mountains are pretty magical, and every single person was extremely helpful and gracious, either in the city or way out in the tiny mountain villages
the coolest.
i was on a bike, so i guess he felt like he had to hustle.
Vietnam, Thailand, India, Guatemala, Taiwan is a good call.
in Vietnam, someone literally ran out of their house while I was stopping to adjust my headphones in order to invite me to breakfast at his home.
he had a tiny orchard in his front yard and we shared mango, dragonfruit and pancakes.

"why we are suffering this shit now. "
mostly because of Citizens United, it looks like.
the Supreme Court allowing money into politics and then Congress never dealing with that is arguably the largest factor in rumps elections.
they are getting what they deserved.
economy going down, prices going up, international scorn and ridicule.
that sounds like what people who voted for a rapist deserve.
"That's a very short-sighted, one-dimensional take."
those are ticket prices, not a "take".
I've addressed all of your questions and many more besides, accounting for multiple variables and providing information with factual data, experience, consensus and outside inputs in mind.
if you believe the consideration of various perspectives, classes and cultures is one-dimensional, it is likely a result of your own perspective.
plus how to reheat pizza evenly...good point

While A Tribe Called Quest may not have been talking directly to you, or about traveling, they still got it right.
If you are wondering if you can travel, the answer is overwhelmingly yes. Hundreds of people who have never traveled before have asked me from all walks of life, at all ages, in any number of circumstances and my answer after hearing about their lives, has always been yes, they can travel.
I think this is the genesis.
who doesn't like a good plague these days?
We are all of us plague!

My favorite foods living in China. I tried to think of one favorite food and came up with 15 immediately, so there'll be a few episodes of favorites.
啤酒烤鸭(Beer-fried duck), 西红柿鸡蛋面(tomato egg noodle soup), 红烧牛肉(soy-braised beef), 麻辣蒜薹腊肉(numbspicy garlic scapes with Chinese bacon) and my favorite Chinese sandwich, or, one of only two anyway(teaser) - 驴肉火烧(donkey jalapeno panini).
Have you been to China or enjoy Chinese food? What Chinese foods do you like?
