#TenPlaces I'm #thankful I've visited: With #thanksgiving only two days away, here are ten places I feel lucky to have seen with my own two eyes Number 8 is my #favoritecity in the world #newyorkcity. It's said that you have to live in #NYC for seven years before you truly know it. There's so much packed into this dense city: #hellskitchen #broadway #wallstreet #museums #centralpark #dumbo #greenwichvillage #wtcone #empirestatebuilding #christlerbuilding #brooklynbridge #nycsubways and of course it's a #pizzaloversdream. So many cultures coexist in NY with over 500+ languages spoken among the five boroughs. Just about anything in the world you can find here in the #bigapple (at DUMBO, Brooklyn)

#TenPlaces I'm #thankful I've visited: With #thanksgiving only seven days away, here are ten places I feel lucky to have seen with my own two eyes. Number 4 is #bangkok, #Thailand, a city that opened my eyes to the #privileges I have being from a #firstworld country. I pondered how I might escape the #cycleofpoverty being a bright fourteen year old boy from #napal making my #kabob, just trying to make ends meet, getting #scolded by his older lazier bosses to get more customers. One of the highlights was taking a 45 minute #hangyao or #longtailboat ride, a tour of the cities #canals and neighborhoods. Unlike the decadent #temples plated in #gold that #Bangkok offers, many still get left behind. (at Water Canals Bangkok)

#TenPlaces I'm #thankful I've visited: With #thanksgiving only eight days away, here are ten places I feel lucky to have seen with my own two eyes. Number 3 is #oldcity #jerusalem in #israel which I was fortunate to see thanks to #birthrightisrael. At the time my Aunt was going through #chemotherapy and I put a written #prayer into the #wailingwall. I'm happy to say today she is #cancerfree. I've never been a very religious person, but that wall will always hold a special place in my heart. (at Wailing wall - הכותל המערבי)

#TenPlaces I'm #thankful I've visited: With #thanksgiving only ten days away, here are ten places I feel lucky to have seen with my own two eyes. Number one is #hongkong a country that looks like #manhattan was dropped onto a #tropicalparadise like #Hawaii. It's bursting with #vibrantcolors on every building and has a #diverse population that offers #foodfromaroundtheworld. This is a #birdseyeview from the top of #victoriapeak #beautifulhk #hk #hongkongisland (at Hong Kong)
