Creator's Key Takeaways

We live fulltime on the Villa Odyssey residential cruise ship and we share all things cruise ports and all things cruise life.

It is spicy. Not our version of kungpow, but it's tasty.

On this day, we just walked on the outskirts of Tanaman Square. It was on extra tight security and lockdown as they prepared for the upcoming military parade.

Not only are we walking uphill, but also the top of the wall is slanted. So, we have two axis axises that we're dealing with.
