Welcome to Travel+Experiment!
My husband lives in Fayetteville, North Carolina for fourteen years. This was his first duty station in the 82nd Airborne Division as an airborne aviation mechanic. During his stay, he started his auto shop business specializing in import performance with a dynamometer as his tools for tuning for ten years. After his completion of his military commitment for six years he continued working in Fort Bragg.

On the other hand, I arrived and stayed here in Fayetteville for a year with my husband. This is the first United States city since I arrived from the long flight from the Philippines. Then, we got married by July 2014. I am living here
for almost a year now just then my husband decided to pursue his college
education in Florida. Sad to say, we will be leaving soon this place. I will miss you Fayetteville NC.

We went to this place for the first time when we were invited by
mu husband’s relatives. We highly recommend the Holy Shiitake Pizza which Olive oil and garlic base, mushrooms, caramelized onions, and mozzarella
cheese. Garnished with fresh chives and shaved Parmesan, calzones and pretzels. The food was delicious and great tasting pizza. The
place was packed a lot of TV screens. The service is good and friendly. This
place is a great for families and friends.
We would recommend this place to any pizza lover.

This Asian Supermarket is a Korean owned store. The store has a
high volume traffic in which their product is always rotating and never have a
problem with expired merchandise like those around town. They have meats, seafood,
fresh fruits, vegetables and wide varieties of ice cream from Magnolia, Selecta.
We always buy our Filipino food here because of their vast variety products
from the Philippines. The place is a medium size supermarket.

Had a Great Experience with Fayetteville, North Carolina...but we have to go..
My husband lives in Fayetteville, North Carolina for fourteen years. This was his first duty station in the 82nd Airborne Division as an airborne aviation mechanic. During his stay, he started his auto shop business specializing in import performance with a dynamometer as his tools for tuning for ten years. After his completion of his military commitment for six years he continued working in Fort Bragg.
For some of you who are not familiar with Fayetteville or just newly
moved in here, this place has been very good to those who work in government
contracts. It has a very lucrative high paying income when it comes to
contracting jobs. It is very rich in military culture as right next door to
Fort Bragg and Pope Army Airfield, Fayetteville and is military oriented. And
people who got out of military stay here for that reason. It is also a growing
city because of the military population that was consolidated from other closed
bases. Some of the people here nickname Fayetteville as Fayetnam because there are a large portion of Vietnam era soldiers veterans living in Fayetteville. The location of the city is also the middle of Florida and New York. It
is located in the I-95 corridor.
Our apartment has a nice strolling area and it has great and
modern amenities from saltwater pool, clubhouse, 24hr fitness center, Dog Park,
children’s playground, poker tables, game room, billiard room, basketball
court, tennis courts, to outdoor grill.
Every afternoon when it’s warm outside
we love walking around the neighborhood with my husband. We will definitely
going to miss this place and our very own apartment.
Places to Eat: These are highly recommended establishments and these are the places we frequented while on a budget. If you happen to be around Fayetteville, we suggest to visit one of these.

This restaurant offer authentic Thai and Chinese cuisines. They have a small quiet place and their
service is fast and they have a nice and friendly staff too. Their food menu
prices are inexpensive and especially when you are on a budget you can buy at a
very reasonable price at a large portion. Before you order the food, make sure
you inform the server to not put MSG and ask the spice level of the food they
will serve. The restaurant is quiet and clean. There are three Asian Express
stores conveniently located here in Fayetteville and all are in the same family
owned restaurant which belongs to one of the Saephan family.
My husband and I love to order the Thai soup which is the tom yum
chicken, spring rolls, pepper steak and the panang chicken. The soup is very
good and healthy. We just love their food and its one of a kind.

6. Wendy's
|
Choosing fast food restaurant can be tasking ordeal especially
when there are numerous selection to choose from. The restaurant that
we choose was Wendy’s because the latest consumer report always state that
this establishment is better than the rest of the fast food industry. The
combination selections are enough to which you are not
confused on which to choose what to eat. The double cheeseburger combination
is the first time we ordered when I got here. The meat with its dressing
has a mouthwatering flavor, it taste delicious and savory. The square
patties burger made with fresh ground beef is so tender and moist. We keep
buying their burgers, French fries, and frozen desserts and these are all
in affordable prices especially when you are on a budget.

The things we love about this church are the friendliness of the
church members, church goers and as wells as the traveling visitors. The atmosphere
is very welcoming feeling the moment you enter the church. There are mixtures
of demographics who attended to this church from newborn, children, teenagers,
young adults and older people. This church has a nice homage with the Filipino
culture that dedicates their service with Filipino mass presiding in Tagalog. They
have also a weekly church leaflet that is sent to all members and church goers
of the church every Sunday. It is a short written report that tells about the
recent activities, plans of the church and also the homily for that day.
