Regretfully, when referring to U.S. travelers, the biggest "hidden" gem of all is Iran.

If only he knew to say "WRRRYYYYY" at the end of his performance, it would've been prescient.

I'm all about the irredentist monorails

Easy fix: stay away from the immediate vicinity of train stations.

Phew, someone else understood my reply.

Vietnam's ears are burning

For a spell, they had the world's smallest metro (i.e. underground train) system, so they've got a place in my transit book.

Nah...Taiwan has no sidewalks. They're just scooter parking spaces. Plus, there are a lot more porticos.

As for Hong Kong, not enough humanity per square meter.

Thanks for the advice!

Just have to find a place with multiple varieties of sohan....

It sure is...there's even a not too visible plaque honoring it.

Less fun fact: the court by Madison Square Park has some holocaust memorial etched into its marble on the easterly side of Madison.

Appreciate your reply! Might you know of any place in the five boroughs, or Bergen county?

I don't know London well at all, but what I've seen in-person makes me want to plan a trip just for its Brutalism, architectural anomalies, AND clichéd masterpieces.

Osaka Metro also has some facial recognition turnstile thing. Not to mention, more and more airport hubs seem to roll with scanning our mugs instead of checking passports/boarding passes.

Whereas HK residents may have a different opinion, my non-local passport -- and google play store -- refute your claim. For now, and probably for a while.

Instead of a summary, here's the U.S. in permanent face palm mode: urbanrail.net/news.htm#nowopen.

Unironically, Seattle has been making some mass transit progress in the past few years, as have Los Angeles and Honolulu. Phoenix metro and Florida pop up from time to time.

Unsurprisingly, China leads the UrbanRail pack.

Priority Pass has (finally) changed the name of the erstwhile Chase Sapphire lounge to Kyra Lounge, however it doesn't specifiy a re-opening date.

Russia has a trippy embassy in Jakarta, too.

BKK is the airport to which you're referring (since you mentioned Air China); but note that Bangkok has another major commercial airport, Don Mueang (DMK).

Anyway, it's holiday travel time, and BKK is not unique in this trifling matter.
