GadlingTV's Travel Talk, episode 10 – Click above to watch video after the jump

Travel Talk has hit double digits!! To celebrate, we have an incredible lineup of adventures from San Diego, California - including a short dash over the border to Tijuana, Mexico!

This week we talk about Kim Jong-Il as a fashion icon, a new great way to hail a cab in NYC, and share a book that covers how to travel by freight ship! We have an answer in the debate of whether or not sarcasm exists in every culture, and of course we'll show you pictures of the disruptive Eyjafjallajökull (Icelandic Volcano) that has shut down flights throughout Europe this week.

Stick with us as we try paragliding for the first time, learn how to brew beer from the masters at Stone Brewery, and do our best to surf the Wave House's Bruticus Maximus. We'll also take a peek onboard the USS Midway and show you how tourism has affected Tijuana in the past 5 years. Enjoy!
