Best Travel Experience of the Year

As the year comes to a close, I reflect on all the traveling and touring and sightseeing I’ve done the past year– be it for real or virtual (online, print, or television)– and I realize that nothing can top the one-way trip we made as a family this year from Europe to Asia.
It has been […]

Finding Authentic Local Cuisine

When traveling in a foreign country, how do you know which restaurant serves the best local cuisine? Your travel guidebook might have some recommendations, but often I find that those digs are less authentic, probably because most of these establishments cater to tourists, and the flavors are already adjusted according to the targeted clientele’s tastes.

German Christmas Market in Tokyo

If you can’t travel all the way to Europe, you can get experience a German-style Christmas market at Roppongi Hills.

From traditional German Christmas pyramids, to Käthe Wohlfahrt gifts and trinkets, to Christmas fare such as stollen, gluehwein (mulled wine) and bratwurst — German tradition, right in the heart of Tokyo.

Flying with Kids

Traveling with tots? Flying with Kids is an excellent online resource for tips, stories, and offers to help you survive air travel with little passengers.
What toys should you bring? Will the airline provide meals for the baby? Will there be diaper changing facilities? What seat is best for traveling families– bulk seat or ordinary row […]

Free Flights From Tiger Airways

Yup, you read it right: free flights! Excluding taxes and charges, of course.
You’d have to book your travel quickly, though (offer runs until Dec 19, 2007) for travel up to 31 March 2008. Most flights are to/from Singapore.
Perfect as a last minute Christmas gift!
