I know that visiting an airport isn't the same as visiting a country. It is a bit like the preview to a movie. You get glimpses of the characters and location. I spent 6 hours in the International Airport trying to decipher what it said about the city itself and planning my next trip there. There is a lot more chocolate here than I thought!
Thanks for following and if you have any hot chocolate news you'd like to share, send it over!
