What an incredible day in Georgetown! 🔆So this happened!! 🇲🇾 We shot Part 1 of our Egypt podcast now available on YouTube at Global Hotel Guys! We bought 11 new cotton T-shirts and two pairs of shorts for Paul and received excellent service from Roseanna in a nearby mall. We ate amazing Japanese vegetarian ramen in another mall. We walked 20 minutes to the Chulia neighborhood and received the best Foot Reflexology at Tranquility Reflexology! We stopped for a visit at a small ancient Chinese temple. We bought Paul a new pair of sunglasses. We ate great Mexican food and ended the day at a Chinese Dairy Queen called Mixue for a delicious strawberry sundae! How's that for a very successful day! 🤔👍🏽❤️ #oneday #incredible #travel#podcast #travelpodcast #travelblogger #wow #hotelguys1 #traveltips #georgetown
