The Delights Of Chiang Mai
2007-03-10 01:57:00
When thinking of Thailand, many of us immediately think of its hectic capital city, Bangkok. A city overflowing with so many people, traffic, fumes, sights and sounds, that all to often it can be an incredible assault on the unsuspecting tourist’s senses. Yet Thailand is a country of overwhelming diversity, and thankfully located in its far north is a capital city that is light years away from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok. I am of course referring to the delightful Chiang Mai . Chiang Mai is the capital of Northern Thailand, and it boasts a pace far more relaxed and tourist friendly than its Southern counterpart. You’ll find the traffic and city pace far less frantic, and the streets a lot less confusing than Bangkok. In fact, one of the best ways for a tourist to find their way around Chiang Mai and get to know this delightful city is to hire a bicycle for the day. A most enjoyable way to see the city first hand, since everything is located in such close proximity. ...

Nightlife Guide To Tokyo
2007-03-09 21:47:00
Day or night, Tokyo is a fascinating blend of contradictions. While exciting and fast-paced, the city is also clean and quiet. It often resembles an alternate New York City. There are millions of things to do, the skyscrapers appear to touch the clouds, and the fashion is top-notch. A seemingly endless stream of people and cars pour across the intersections in waves, yet rarely bump into each other, honk their horns or exchange angry words. The people tend to be friendly and polite. When the sun goes down in Tokyo, there are countless activities to engage in. The four main areas I recommend you explore are Ginza, Roppongi, Shibuya and Shinjuku. Ginza is the high-end shopping district, where everything Western and Eastern in the modern fashion world collides. There’s a Gap and Dolce & Gabbana but also the Sony Store, where all the latest technology gadgets from the popular Japanese corporation are on display in an almost museum-like setting. The department stores tend to t...

Cambodia
2007-03-09 21:31:00
Cambodia is bordered to the south by the Gulf of Thailand, on the east by Vietnam, to the north by Laos and to the west by Thailand. Though it’s primarily known in the west by virtue of its infamous “Killing Fields,” and still bears their scars, Cambodia’s a country that’s slowly embarking on the path to recovery. The peace is young but stable enough to have encouraged a tourism upswing. One that owes itself not only to the fame of Angkor Wat, but to the large numbers of endangered species, thought to be extinct elsewhere – including rhinos, leopards, gibbons, bats, elephants, tigers and crocodiles that are believed to be hidden away in its remote interiors. You’ll be arriving in its capital city of Phnom Penh’s Pochentong airport via a flight out of Bangkok, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong or Ho Chi Minh City. Once there, travelers will quickly discover that the weathered French-era architecture of Phnom Phenh offers up a hauntingly picaresque atmosphere of bust...

Attractions Of Moscow
2007-03-09 20:15:00
Moscow is a bustling and quickly changing city that offers tourists an array of choices. Whether you’d like to shop or walk on the historical Red Square, you won’t be disappointed by what Moscow has to offer. 1. Red Square Destination number one for all tourists to Moscow is the legendary Red Square. Despite popular believe, the square was not named after the Soviet Party’s favorite color; it was actually named in the 17th century using an old, Russian word for “beautiful”. Red Square has been the central square of Moscow since the 15th century. Combined with a tour of The Kremlin, a trip to Red Square is an all day event. The area is packed with historical sites and points of interest. Begin your tour by walking through the recently re-built Resurrection Gate. This gate had been the entrance to Red Square since the 16th century, but it was demolished on Stalin’s orders so that large Soviet tanks could easily roll down Red Square for Soviet parades and celebrati...

Tours In Myanmar
2007-03-05 00:43:00
Of the Southeast Asian nations, Myanmar attracts fewer tourists than the more ‘trendy’ spots such as Thailand, Malaysia and recently Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. But a country that is known by two names evokes its own cloud of mystery and is sure to pique the interest of adventure seekers and the more intrepid traveller. Burma was a British colony until independence was granted in 1948. In 1990 the country’s name was changed to Myanmar (which means all national races) to better reflect all the diversity of ethnic groups. It has affectionately been called the ‘Land of Ten Thousand Pagodas’ and the ‘Golden Land’: both names are apt. In some cities temples can be found on nearly every corner and – while this may not differ from nearby countries – many of these highlight the extraordinary relationship that the Burmese have between their beliefs and the land. Myanmar has approximately 45 million people who are divided into over 165 recognised ethnic groups. It shares it...

Fascinating Lisbon
2007-03-05 00:41:00
For many centuries, Lisbon , the capital of Portugal, was regarded as one of the most magnificent cities in Europe. With its long history, Moorish influences, stunning location and vast riches from India and Brazil, it was a trading hub for hundreds of years. But a devastating earthquake in 1755, followed by fire and a tidal wave, reduced it to ruins and obscurity. In recent years, however, Lisbon has begun to return to some of its former glory. It was the European City of Culture in 1994, hosted Expo 98, and was the major host city for the huge soccer event, Euro2004. More people are discovering its fascinating blend of old and new. Even better, it still remains relatively affordable by European standards. Located on 7 hills beside the Rio Tejo (River Tagus), Lisbon is best explored on foot, as driving and parking are difficult, to say the least. Some of the hills can be taxing to climb, but in most cases a funicular or tram is available. Much of the appeal of the city is to be fou...
