Notes on travel, places I visited and the ones I'd like to visit.

Iceland - to be visited in 2025

Hiking maps application by IGN.fr has the best maps I've seen so far in France. Mapy.cz work nicely as well.
We gave up while climbing Montagne Sainte-Victoire (near Aix-en-Provence) due to lack of proper equipment. Remember to get bring warmer clothes next time!

Bangkok is one of the warmest cities in the world, expect extremally humid air
In restaurants, every person on te table gets an extra empty plate, so that they can easily try the dishes ordered by other people. I've seen Thai people using primarly those "extra" plates, treating the ordered dishes as a buffet meal. I see it as a very positive custom, encouraging sharing and tasting different foods.

When hiking from sea level up to ~500m it will be all fine and dandy. Above 500m things start to get tricky, after you pass ~700m be ready for very steep slopes.
