Don’t you just love it when you realize that you are too large to fit properly into the bathroom that you have to use for the next week! I think if I was Asian this might be a spacious bathroom, except of course for Yao Ming (but we all know that he is a robot anyway).

I want to talk about Space Bags and whether or not you should use it when you travel. This may seem like a no-brainer, but after traveling now for 13 months straight, I’ve changed my opinion on it a bit.

I have been to Paris many times and I think it will be interesting to share with you what I’m actually doing (and maybe why) and what a first-time visitor might want to do.

All of my YouTube travel videos can now be viewed from this blog. I setup a video player at https://www.madmanblog.com/my-travel-videos/. You may also get to this page by clicking the tab at the top of every page titled “My Travel Videos.”
There, you will find a large video player that should have a playlist at the bottom of it. You can cycle through the playlist to choose a video or just watch the latest video, which should be loaded by default.
