    All I did was traveling outside the country for a month and see what happened!!!
    (If you like what happened, you should pay me to travel again in 2028. 😉 )

    For a bit of fun, try to guest where I visited with the pictures below. 🙂

        Great photos! I won’t embarrass myself by trying to guess, although some of them I have an idea.

                I got 1 correct. #1.

                So my score is less than 10%.

                Yikes.

                  • Public transportation: apparently Lisbon now uses the same model of public busses and fare collection system as San Francisco.

                  • Electronic passport control systems: every country implements some sort of electronic passport control system these days. Singapore's is the only one I have seen working quickly and perfectly. Everywhere else, I saw visitors needing to rescan their passports or needing some sort of human agent assistance to get through. Not Singapore -- a big plane load of visitors all got through passport control in a matter of minutes without human agent intervention.

                  • Ice cream: I continue to find that, more likely than not, European ice cream is less creamy but more flavorful than American ice cream. Japanese ice cream vendors often offer a “just milk” option, while the plainest you can get in the USA is “vanilla.”

                  • Seafood and day drinking: never had so much octopus as my days in Lisbon; wine was served at every lunch.

                  • Culture and tech for personal hygiene: I had the chance to experience, many days in a row, first the Japanese-style electronic bidets then also a European-style non-electronic bidet, from which I concluded rather confidently that the Japanese-style electronic bidets are functionally superior and vastly more user friendly.
