Hey - nice entry! Always fun to read about others' experiences with various foods from around the world. I do wonder if Icelanders still consume hakarl on a regular basis or if is a food that has transitioned into more of a heritage/novelty dish for tourists and special occasions. Given your description, and the ability to import foods throughout winter now, I can't imagine it would be the preferred thing to eat!
howdy Came through here via your twitter page. It's always great to see people embrace the freedom of their 20s and see the world. Keep it up. Happy Travels.

Yeah True, the Chinatown bus can be a nightmare, but it's not just Fung Wah and Lucky Star anymore. There's Bolt Bus, Megabus, Vamoose, DC2NY, and plenty of other high quality lines. A good place to compare their prices and amenities is www.busjunction.com.
worth fighting the crowd? My hubby and I are thinking about doing the DC/cherryblossom thing. We live in Mn. Thinking about trying to catch the beginning or end of the bloom time but avoiding the festival dates. Do you live in the area and can you tell us how many others try to do the same thing? Are the crowds, lines at sites and conjested public transportation worth it or would you recommend coming in early March to avoid the crowds?
Hello all! I am a passionate adventurer who has had many travel experiences for a guy in his mid 20s. So far, I've been to multiple cities across the U.S., various countries of Europe, and the Central American gem that is Costa RIca. Of course, there is much more to go. When I travel, I am always looking to find the uniqueness of where ever I am, try whatever food the area is known best for, and have tons of random, funny, and hilarious experiences. I love to spread the word about good travel, and I hope that by sharing my tales, you will be inspired to go on your own adventures. Enjoy!... full info
