Istanbul is quickly reclaiming its ?City of Cities? moniker bestowed upon the luxurious land years before.

From Hong Kong Travel Blog, 3 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles

It is a tradition in Hong Kong that on the 2nd day of Chinese New Year, firework will be shown atop Victoria Harbour. I live on Hong Kong Island, so my best place to view firework is Wanchai ferry. In fact I must say viewing firework from Tsimshatsui waterfront is the best. Below I've borrowed a photo from Ming Pao which is taken from Tsimshatsui and is really stunning. Weather is really cold this year - only 8 degrees and it was quite freezing standing for 23 minutes outdoor at the harbour... Read more

My encounter with Abelardo at the Hotel Habana Libre Tryp at Havana was pleasant. He knew a great deal about Cuban culinary delights and was gracious enough to treat me to lunch at the ?El Barracon' restaurant.. So far, the closest thing I had to a gourmet meal was a serving of French fries and soda pop at McDonald's. This guy changed my world by introducing me to Cuba's mouth-watering national cuisine.

Filed under: Arts and Culture, Stories, Asia, Burma (Myanmar), Budget Travel The man who told me my unfortunate future, did so with glee.

Emirates Palace, when poverty is not an issue

From Chasing the unexpected, 3 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles

Entrance of the Emirates Palace seen from inside the gardens I have nothing against being rich, as long as the wealth is deserved and doesn’t stem from abuse of power and corruption, but even when it’s justified, excessively showing it off can appear inappropriate.

I appreciate that the Emirates are a... Read more
