5 Unknown Asia Locations That Deserve Your Attention
Travelers' lingering sense of wanderlust has never been more intense than it is right now when borders reopen and the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel finally emerges from the long months of limitations, boredom, and tiredness. The globe is starting to return to some semblance of normality, albeit not in the same way it did in the past, so all of the world's anxious tourists will likely head back to the crowded tourist spots from the past that were previously well-traveled.

Euskal pilota: The Basque Country's centuries-old ball games
I am dazzled by the rural beauty of France's Basque Country, where the untamed coast and rolling green hills are dappled with red tile-roofed villages and surrounded by clouds of white sheep. Walking through these towns, I'm always on the lookout for a singular wall, measuring approximately 16m wide and 10m tall. It's often pink, sometimes pale yellow, and the date it was erected is usually emblazoned on the façade. It's possible, but not required, that the top of the wall rises into an arch and is lined with a mesh fence.

Dam! It's So Close To Las Vegas
Only 35 miles from The Strip, it takes less than one hour to drive there. Boulder Dam, as it was once known, is the result of a government work project that took five years to build, $49 million (1931), $777 million (2016) and twenty-one thousand men. Impressive in its stature, standing 726 feet tall and goes from 660 feet wide at the base to a mere 45 feet wide at the top. Holding back the huge volume of water stored in the reservoir weighs so much that it deformed the earth's crust, causing more than 600 small earthquakes in the late 1930s. The Lake was formed by damming the Colorado River at Black Canyon. The purpose of this is to provide 1.5 million kilowatts of electricity to the surrounding communities in Nevada, Arizona, and southern California.

No Tipping in Japan: Why I Love It
I moved to Japan nearly six years ago, and one of the things that took the biggest getting used to was the lack of tipping. In America, where I'm from, it is customary to tip waiters, bartenders, valets, taxi drivers, and many other services. But in Japan, tipping is considered rude.

California, Here I Was
Here we are, at the beginning of another autumn. Kids are back in school, leaves are still hanging on, the temperature is falling, and everyone I know is still trying to get every last drop of summer before it runs out (half the people are still in shorts in my neighbourhood). I am wondering, quite seriously, how I am going to pay my rent at the end of the month – a lot of money will have to be moved around and begged for – and considering how this could coincide with my birthday (a terrible coincidence). And with all of this in mind, I have let the mind wander.
