The Day I Was Mistaken For A Terrorist {Gadling}
May 11th 2013 4:46AM Being non-white myself, I have often worried about how others perceive me when travelling in the States, especially after 9/11.

How To Spend Your Airport Delay: In-Airport Online Dating {Gadling}
Apr 27th 2013 5:12AM The problem with trying to do this internationally could be the language barrier (I had a linguistic challenge dating in the Czech Republic: http://unexpectedtraveller.wordpress.com/2012/11/19/exotic-countries/) ... or maybe that's not a problem after all!
