On my second and last day in Nice, France my friend Mindy and I made our way to a farmer’s market in the older part of town (though the whole city is pretty old if you ask me). We walked through the rows of tables, each one filled with a different item for sale.

Asia, you and your signs are simply too much. I was sifting through my thousands upon thousands of photos from my travels when I came across this little bit of China goodness.

I’m a sucker for a good ole marching band. Maybe it’s the loud instruments, the upbeat songs, or the fact that everything is in sync (I’m convinced I have a bit of OCD). So, when I was in Ho Chi Minh city in Vietnam and I heard this band playing their tunes from a few
