Where to go
Where to go for food in November
Thailand, Turkey, UAE, Vietnam, Japan
- ThailandBangkok and Phuket. The Grand Palace and Wat Pho are the first pair, and Yaowarat is the night market after. Floating markets use more than one pier, so this plan does not pin them to a single stop.
- TurkeyIstanbul and Antalya. Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque share Sultanahmet. The Grand Bazaar and the Spice Market sit toward Eminönü, and the Bosphorus is the crossing to the Asian shore.
- UAEDubai. Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall are one stop. Al Fahidi and the Creek are the older city, and JBR is the beach walk. A desert camp is not pinned here.
- VietnamHanoi. The Old Quarter and the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum are the Hanoi pair. Ha Long Bay is an overnight cruise, not a neighborhood, and Ninh Binh is the rice-paddy day.
- JapanTokyo. Shibuya, Harajuku, and Meiji Shrine are in Tokyo. Tsukiji and Ginza are another day. Kyoto, Mount Fuji, and an onsen are trips out of the city.
