I loved seeing penguins, sea turtles, and oodles of fish and jellyfish at the New England Aquarium in Boston, Mass.

Hearing Justin Vernon’s Wisconsin accent in Hamburg. I caught Bon Iver live at Grosse Freiheit 36, one of the city’s best live music venues, located on the same street (Grosse Freiheit) where the Beatles played their first gig in 1960. There’s already some YouTube coverage up from Wednesday night’s show, but I like this intimate footage shot in a Paris apartment even better.

We all like to save a buck when we travel. But at what point does cost-cutting cross the line?

That’s the question Carlo Alcos posed over at Brave New Traveler recently, in his look at some questionable (but common) money-saving tactics on the road. A few of the tricks listed: posing as a student or a local for admission-fee purposes, fare-dodging on public transit and inventing complaints—and then demanding compensation. After the run-down, he concludes: “I would say there is a line to be drawn. Not a black and white Sharpie fine line, but a blurry, wavy, grey line that is dependent on the circumstance.”
