Here you can find tips about all the things we think you need to avoid in certain countries, like a very bad bus ride or a stinky hotel (snot).
But also things you must have seen or done, like picture perfect beaches or a good hotel, where they will help you getting bus tickets when nobody in that bloody town is speaking English. (this would be 'hot'!)
Hot:
Good guesthouse in Ulaan Baatar
We've been staying in a perfect hostel, called
UB-guesthouse. It's run by mr Kim and his wife Bobby.
They can speak perfect English and arrange great
tours. They 're cheaper then when you arrange it all
on your own. We reccomend you their ger-tour, although
if you do it on your own, it also has its charme.
Snot:
Going with an organised tour to the great wall.
If you can go on your own, please do so. Because when
you go with a tour, the drivers suck. They defenetly
have a death wish. If you've just went to a fortune
teller and she said that this wasn't your day to die,
than its ok, otherwise don't!
When you do the organised hike, you have a limited
amount of time to walk the 10 km, so you don't have
much time to admire the surroundings and the fact that
you are standing on the great wall.
