Portobello Market

Worth visiting!

A review of this place: Place where the riches of ages are stowed...

Anything and everything a chap can unload
Is sold off the barrow in Portobello road.

(“Bedknobs & Broomsticks” song)

It was all that my childhood imagination believed. Fun place. Must see.

"Forbidden" Starbucks

Yes, there is a Starbucks WITHIN the Forbidden City

It is about half way through. The sign has been taken down so it is a bit more difficult to find. There is a push to close it down. I have mixed opinions.

Tai Shan

(in China > Shandong)

Worth visiting!

A tip I have about this place

Climb the mountain so that you get to see the sunset from the top. I agree that it is much more rewarding to hike up on foot, but if this is not an option get up by any means.

Stay the night in one of the hotels. Be sure to check what hours the hotel offers hot water—or you will regret it! And ask for extra blankets.

Then watch the sunrise in the morning. Breathtaking.

Great Wall

(in China > Beijing)

Worth visiting!

A review of this place: There are many sections

I have visited nine myself. It all depends on the type of experience you would like to have as to what section you should visit.

Texas Motor Speedway

Worth visiting!

The last time I went to this place

I went with a friend on an off day and was able to visit the priavate boxes AND I got to drive on the track!

Yes, I drove on the Speedway track. We pulled into the winner’s circle and everything. It was a blast.

I still haven’t seen a race there, though.

Mercedes Museum

Not worth visiting!

It is alright

but nothing too exciting.

Personally I would have rather spent more time with the locals.
