I can’t believe September is already over, and I’m leaving for India in less than a week, and when I get back (October 29th) it will basically be November.
Everything I’m planning right now is based around November. I’ll pitch that story, write that post, work more hours, etc. in November, which is so weird because November is the start of the holiday season and that’s the end of the year, and I mean, I love that time of year, but wasn’t it just summer, like, yesterday? What? How?
Anyway! Enough about time passing at a terrifying rate!
Here’s the awesome travel content you may have missed last month:

I went to a dim sum place here recently and I ate a chicken foot and “thousand year old egg” soup; You should definitely try it! (But it helps to go with a crowd who is familiar with this style of eating if you visit a more authentic place). Good luck with your trip!

How was the chicken foot? I’m planning to go to a place in Boston’s Chinatown with a friend who loves it and has been before. Thanks for the encouragement!

You’re welcome! I’ve never been to Southeast Asia, but I’m hoping to get there sometime next year and I’ll definitely be keeping your post in mind as a resource.
