globe-circling walkabout, touring a traditional Japanese tea house, viewing an
exhibit on the devastation created by

beats of Trinidad and Tobago. During
the 2010 Around the World Embassy

( 4,200) and Indonesia ( 4,200). The
best news about this quick wanderlust
fix, though, is that no visas or travel
documents are necessary. culturaltour-ismdc.org —Corinne Whiting
