replying to @Pinkzenjoy @Pinkzenjoy @RooLovesTravel @kate_frankie Yeah Japan gets a bad rep. Accommodation isn't cheap but the rest really isn't bad #PTTravel

A5 #PTTravel Chocolate con churros! But, I only eat it in Spain ... and sparingly; I have to watch the sugar and fat.

@kate_frankie A5 Pad Thai which I now make regularly but had never had before last year in Bangkok.
The food in Krakow was super amazing, can’t copy it in any way. #PTTravel

A5 having tagine in Morocco was delicious. We do make it at home occasionally but having it in Morocco was something special. #pttravel

replying to @heywhatsupcourt @heywhatsupcourt @kate_frankie Yes, it was a Portuguese territory until the late 90s. I actually did the bungee jump off Macau Tower! 233 meters! But there is also really lovely architecture to see. It’s a small island, and walkable. I enjoyed it but didn’t experience the casinos. #PTTravel

replying to @TheDetourEffect @TheDetourEffect @kate_frankie I’m sure it is. I couldn’t even handle living in Edinburgh during the Fringe. #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie I agree. Where was it that you went on safari? #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A5 The pepper crab in Sri Lanka, pho in Vietnam, ramen in Japan. The Singapore chilli crab was too sweet for my tastebuds as they add that sweet and sour sauce. I like spicy curries. 😀 #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie @melisliving #pttravel This I had to try! Our guide had trouble with his plosives, and it came out as 'chili crap' 😀

replying to @NomadKeith @NomadKeith @kate_frankie It’s my fave 🤓 My Dad & I went on a dining carriage pulled by it & have also watched it going past & am such a fan. It’s a real beaut! #PTTravel

replying to @Roadsandrunways @Roadsandrunways Interesting. I'd say Moroccan cuisine is one of the most disappointing for me. Maybe it was the places we ate at but just didn't do much for me #PTTravel

I'll add Belgian beer and chocolate to the list. If you haven't been, GO! #visitflanders

replying to @travelexx @travelexx @Pinkzenjoy @kate_frankie I didn’t find it more expensive than the UK. Hotels were London prices perhaps. #pttravel

replying to @travelexx @travelexx @RooLovesTravel @kate_frankie Yeah acco is expensive but sightseeing was almost free and they give such great passes for tourists like the JR pass, regional passes, and daily subway pass to get around. Also, food is cheap and delicious. #PTTravel

replying to @planreadygo @planreadygo @NomadKeith Delectable. How thick was the chocolate? Thick enough to stand a spoon in? I *still* think of the churros and chocolate in Spain and Mexico. #PTTravel

replying to @Roadsandrunways @Roadsandrunways I’ve never been able to have a tagine since as I had enough to last a lifetime! Seems to be all they offer tourists?! #pttravel

A6: New Zealand (both islands) is coming up on next year's travel calendar for us. I'm counting on spectacular scenery, and I don't think I'll be disappointed. #PTTravel

replying to @Roadsandrunways @Roadsandrunways The Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. It was brilliant. Highly recommend #PTTravel

A6 #PTTravel I've heard and read so much about Costa Rica! It's on the cards for the not too distant future, so please don't dia[sappoint me!

replying to @RooLovesTravel @RooLovesTravel @Roadsandrunways Yep. As soon as I started asking for more local stuff, it got better #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A6. There are a few that stand out: Singapore lit up at night; orca bisecting a Norwegian fjord; Kyoto in bloom. Mostly though I’m intrigued as to how I’ll be affected by Giza — surely if I’m ever to have a spiritual experience it’ll be there. #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A6 SO MANY😩 To pick one, I’d like to see China (have only done Hong Kong) & have that special first impression of the Great Wall & then the incredible-looking Terracotta Army. That’s been on the list for a long time #PTTravel

replying to @DawnCorleone @DawnCorleone @planreadygo #pttravel Oh, yes! The lady in the churreria was most disparaging of the 'opposition' across the road, who just poured hot water into chocolate powder!

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #PTTravel. A6 I'd like to get to Asmara in Eritrea. The whole city is a world heritage site for its Modernist architecture. https://t.co/Am98UWfn2a

replying to @travelexx @travelexx I can be quite picky, I only tried the veg tagine which is also what we make at home if we're having it. Usually has plenty of spices in. Found this a difficult Q to answer as we have access to most cuisines at home so not had many first tries of food while away #pttravel
