JetSetter: San Juan, Puerto Rico (Video)
December 9, 2012
I’ve been to Puerto Rico a few times & it’s a great place to take your girlfriend, wife, or significant other. It’s one of those places that you don’t have to worry about converting money because they use U.S. dollars & you also don’t need a passport should you just want to hop on a flight & go at the last minute. Recently in the news the Puerto Rican people voted successfully in favor of becoming the 51st state of the U.S. There’s still more hurdles that may need to take place in congress & in the U.S. Senate, but this maybe a time for people to go check it out should any of those types of changes occur that may affect the true character of the island in the next few years.

As I was planning the rough draft of my travel destinations for 2013, my homie “One66Soul” put me up on these BlackAtlas travel videos geared toward an African American audience & perspective sponsored by American Airlines. In this particular episode actor Laz Alonzo takes us on a tour of Rio De Janiero, Brasil which is one of my favorite spots to go in the world. I’ve visited Brasil several times in my life & I’ve been to every spot in this video Laz is hosting & narrating. I’ve even taken the helicopter tour above the city more than once. There’s two parts to this video that autoplays right after the next one…

For the Vice channel, ‘Fresh Off The Boat With Eddie Huang’ takes us to Eddie’s stomping grounds in Taiwan. Barely on the map; definitely off the chain… Just peep the trailer above. After the jump, Eddie shows us a different world starting with Part 1 – local ‘party favors’ (like an amphetamine called a ‘betel nut’), regional delicacies and erotica, night activities, and more. Part 2 continues the tour, with Eddie heading south to partake of the partying on the beach and some surf culture.
