Fodor’s presents five Hong Kong six must-see’s for those looking for adventure. In no particular order:
Peak Tram:
Hong Kong’s funicular is the world’s steepest — it climbs to a staggering 1,805 feet above sea level. You really can’t afford to miss what is ultimately a great ride. On the way up, grab a seat on […]
It’s definitely not the bargain-hunter’s paradise being one of the most expensive places in the world, but when it comes to gadgetry and cult fashion, Tokyo is the place to go.
The pavements are thronged with people, all of them extremely well behaved: they won’t even think of crossing the road until the traffic lights say […]
Phnom Pehn, Cambodia finds its way to the International Herald Tribune’s travel section recently, with author Stuart Emmrich describing the city as full of contrasts, a mix of old and new, traditional yet nearly
cosmopolitan.
At this moment, Phnom Penh, the Cambodian capital, seems frozen in time, as the scene in front of you plays out much […]

The valley or basin on which the river lies is one of mostly densely populated areas in the world, home to about 8.5% of world population. Human, as well as industrial waste, contribute to the extreme level […]
I came across Lora’s travelogue of her travels in India as a student. Her last entry, Temples, Tigers, and Tree houses, was particularly full of action and adventure!

BBC is my tv channel of choice when it comes to news. I love even the commercials, especially when they show tourism video clips. Here’s one from Incredible India:
In just one minute, you get to see how rich India’s culture is. If that leaves you wanting more info on travel destinations in India, have a […]
On my part of the globe, the weather has been unusually warm, and my allergies are acting up. We’re supposed to be right in the middle of winter, and yet some shrubs are blooming outside! If the weather goes on like this, the cherry blossom front, or the wave of cherry blossoming in Japan might […]
Another submission at Gridskipper’s $100 a Day challenge was Patrick McCoy’s $100 in Tokyo (the other on Asia was $100 A Day in Hong Kong). Japan is quite an expensive country, so it’s rather a feat to have been able to squeeze in so much in a hundred-dollar budget. Among Patrick’s destination suggestions:
