It's so glad to be back after a long break due to a cold and sinus infection. In the episode I'll discuss dealing with a common flu or cold after not having one for 2 years. Also more importantly what travel is currently like and the most recent updates for East Asia, Southeast Asia, and South Asia. It still looks like it may be still some time before East Asia like Taiwan or Japan reopens to independant travelers. Nepal is open with few travel restrictions if you're considering a trek in the fall. Bhutan will reopen to travelers beginning September 22nd. Thanks again for listening!
