One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

As a tourist, I like London, Córdoba, San Francisco (including the Japanese crepe at the crepe place in Japantown), Dalian, the Scottish Highlands, Williamsburg, Virginia, and Philadelphia. Manhattan is of course awe-inspiring for a little while. In Washington, DC, where I am not a tourist, I like the Freer and Sackler Galleries (Smithsonian Museum of Asian Art) and sitting in the U.S. Court of the Appeals for the DC Circuit for oral arguments.

I spent nine months in London, and I recommend:
-talking to the barristers after work in a Holborn pub,
-walking West from Camdentown Market through Regent's Park,
-meeting students at the London School of Economics/Entertainment
-meeting the sorts of people you encounter on the streets in London,
-the Sir John Soane Museum,
-Middle Temple Inn and the Royal Courts of Justice,
-Jersey yogurt,
-fresh vegetables from Sainsbury's,
-Cafe TPT on Wardour Street,
-the nearly homogeneous vegetarian Chinese buffets around Covent Garden and Soho,
-Masala Zone,
-Sagar on Percy Street,
-Costa's espresso, and
-the little pizza place near High Holborn on Drury Lane.

I have visited:

Canada, France, Spain, Morocco, China, the United Kingdom, Turkey, Greece, Ireland, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Israel
