It's time for the best ramen in Los Angeles, baby. I heard Los Angeles, California had some nice tonkotsu ramen, some real nice ramen. So Egoraptor and Mort3mer took me to some top-notch ramen restaurants to see what kind of ramen noodles calibre we got on our hands Stateside. We boosted on over to Little Tokyo to check out Shin Sen Gumi, then Silverlake Ramen, and finally Daikokuya at Monterey Park. Long story short, it was a pretty life changing, dare I say diabetes-inducing experience. ► Ramen Museum: http://bit.ly/1OezxEt ► Beef Gyudon: http://bit.ly/1Nvc6JW SoloTravelBlog is international travel with a buckwild edge.

Therefore, I use bits and pieces from the above gear sets, and these bits and pieces can be connected together in a huge variety of ways. For example, they can be made into a long selfie stick, they can be mounted to my tripod to make it extra-tall, and they can be used with my tripod and Go Mic to position the microphone directly in front of my face while I'm recording voiceovers at a desk. MICROPHONE ACCESSORIES I USE: Foam Mic Cover ► http://amzn.to/2sSagRo Pop Filter ► http://amzn.to/2sSJSHf EXPLANATION: To improve sound quality for voiceovers, I place a mic cover on the Samson Go Mic, then use an elastic band to hang the pop filter on top. This is not the best audio protection available, but it is the most minimalistic and space-efficient gear for traveling.
