Universal Studios, Orlando
Unlike it’s counterpart, Islands of Adventure, I loved Universal Studios. I haven’t been there in a few years, but I loved it. I have so many memories of the old rides and how corny or cheap they were. But they were still wonderful to me.

Duck Tour, Singapore
Last time I visited Singapore, I was curios when I saw an advertisement about Duck Tour. So then I tried it.

It turns out that …

Hadrian’s Wall, UK

Arapahoe Basin Ski Area
