What do you wear to Seven Magic Mountains?
Seven Magic Mountains is an art installation located in the Nevada desert, and the weather can be quite hot and dry. Therefore, it is recommended to wear comfortable and breathable clothing, such as shorts, t-shirts, and sandals or sneakers.

Bescover, one way people amass likes is to flat-out ask everyone on their contact list to like them on FB. Allan, you use the word "likes" in quotes below, and God knows, FB does abuse the language. First "friends," then "likes," then "unlike." I happen to love much of what Facebook does, but it is hard to forgive the language abuse.
I don't understand the purpose of Facebook 'likes'. But perhaps it's because I'm one of those people whose FB friends are actually people I know. I know what they do and don't like.
If FB 'likes' are to somehow influence me, they don't. They make a company look and sound needy. If anything I would avoid a place that other urge me to 'like'.

Elyse and Allan, your answers are reassuring to someone who reads travel articles. The writer who needed that night with the Zulu king probably did get a great story, but not one that would be of any use to me, a proponent of hot water.
Allan has a point. I was on a trip to Tokyo last year for the same exact amount of time and type of scheduling, and what made my stories sell was the extra effort I put into planning ahead so I could balance my "must-dos" with some time to just walk around and enjoy the city.
