On Our Podcast Show this week, how do geeks like us survive international air travel? In preparation for this podcast’s international debut in Taiwan for COMPUTEX Taipei, Winston and Stephen will share tips and tricks for enjoying those long-haul international flights. From what documents you’ll need to prepare to how to look for the best deals. And, of course, we’ll go over the gadgets you’ll need to take with you, both on the flight and at your destination. Travel is fun as long as you’re safe out there too. Especially if you’re travelling to countries that don’t have the same languages and customs as yours.
