What's your favorite hotel in Asia? I really enjoy Shangri-La because of their happy hour and dinner (for a small up-charge at check-in) and wonderful breakfast spread. When I get out of Beijing, sometimes I simply want to relax and be away from the hustle of the big city.

打包行李有什么建议?带的东西要比自己认为需要的少。我只带一个手提箱和一件随身行李,还有iPhone。我总是轻装旅行。

对获得升舱机会有什么建议?说好话。对柜台人员说好话就行。甜言蜜语容易奏效。不过那些服务人员比较强硬。我的魅力对有些事情不起作用。

What's your Travel Tip 101? I always tell people to make sure your mother or spouse has a copy of your passport, visa and itinerary. I do not find it necessary to ever pack more clothes for anything more than four days. Washing during a trip always ends up being much less complicated for me than having a cumbersome amount of luggage.
你的出行基本要诀?我总是告诉人们,要保证你的母亲或另一半保存有你护照、签证和行程表的复印件。我认为如果出行不超过四天,就没有必要打包更多的衣服。对我来说,旅途中洗衣服比沉甸甸的行李要简单得多。
How do you beat jet lag? There's no way to beat jet lag. You've just got to cowboy through it
