Tomorrow, The Burning of Judas.

every year during semana de la Santa, the holy week, Guatemalans dress up as Roman soldiers and ceremonially chase Judas through the streets for his betrayal.

tomorrow they're going to build effigies of Judas and burn them.

this picture is the front of a procession of 20 or so school children dressed like Roman soldiers ceremonially chasing down Judas.

some of the processions last for a whole street so I had to dodge six different processions today to try and get back to my neighborhood.

If I ignored every other of the countless reasons I love traveling, bidets alone would be enough.

Bidets have significantly improved my life as well as the hygiene of the entire world, and they're only on the rise!

Get on that hygiene.

Welcome to the first episode of Ramble On, a casual companion podcast where I'll talk about everyday goings-on each week.

Main episodes will still be out every Wednesday, Ramble On companion episodes come out Saturdays if I have somebody to respond to or something to talk about.

Thanks for listening, have a good one!

I stayed here for $90 a month(like it was last month) for 3 months.

Long Island iced tea buckets are also $4 at the bar at this location, by the byyy. plus there's a filtered full-size pool next to the bar/restaurant area.

no contest. between good, cheap, accessible food, free and culturally accepted camping, beautiful landscapes and vistas, bidets and most of all, public BATHS, Japan wins.

If you are a backpacker, you'll love Japan.

If you want to try backpacking for the first time, there's no easier onboard than Japan.

Between podcast episodes, I'll share some general travel information.

While A Tribe Called Quest may not have been talking directly to you, or about traveling, they still got it right.

If you are wondering if you can travel, the answer is overwhelmingly yes.  Hundreds of people who have never traveled before have asked me from all walks of life, at all ages, in any number of circumstances and my answer after hearing about their lives, has always been yes, they can travel.

My favorite foods living in China.  I tried to think of one favorite food and came up with 15 immediately, so there'll be a few episodes of favorites.

啤酒烤鸭(Beer-fried duck), 西红柿鸡蛋面(tomato egg noodle soup), 红烧牛肉(soy-braised beef), 麻辣蒜薹腊肉(numbspicy garlic scapes with Chinese bacon) and my favorite Chinese sandwich, or, one of only two anyway(teaser) - 驴肉火烧(donkey jalapeno panini).

Have you been to China or enjoy Chinese food? What Chinese foods do you like?
