United Airlines Took My Miles But They Didn’t Book My Flight

United Airlines screwed me on time and miles.  But let’s start the story from the beginning.  On a Thursday evening at 6pm, I decided to join my friends on a trip to Asia.  By 7pm I had my tickets booked.  At 9pm I was packed.

Sapporo Beer Museum: A Refreshing Tour

If I’m in Sapporo, I have to go to the Sapporo Beer Museum.  It’s pretty much a museum of the old factory where they still do some of the brewing.  The beer was crisp and extremely refreshing.

Their bow game is out of control! 45’s all day! 45 is the degree of the bow, a very respectful amount.  Staying at the suite there is a life I’d like to live, but even getting to live it one day was an amazing experience.

Living at the Maya Lifestyle Mall (Chiang Mai, Thailand)
