Shanghai

I have always enjoyed travelling in Asia and this time I was heading towards Shanghai, which is one of the biggest metropolitan cities in the world. It is also the most developed city in China. Along with being the most popular tourist destination in Asia, Shanghai is also the most populated city in China. It covers an area of 5800 square kilometer, making it advisable for tourist to move around with a travel guide. A flight to Shanghai from Beijing will take around 2 hours, while a journey by train would take 17 hours. You will not need ski jackets in Shanghai, as snow fall over here is just 2 days per year and rest of the year is nice and warm. Following are two of the most famous location to visit in Shanghai.

Traveling around Europe? Go InterRail !

For the traveller with very little money, cost effective modes of transport from A to B are fundamental to ensuring as much of the globe can be trotted as possible on the budget in hand. Whilst travelling in Europe I used InterRail and I can not tell you how much love I have for this service! The InterRail pass is basically a ticket that is available to all European residents (there is a version for international travellers called Eurail), that More

Traveling And Writing – Not Easy

I have been so obsessed with my traveling that I have completely forgotten the fact that I am writing a novel. Many of you may feel that a person who begins writing a novel only to forget it is not much of a writer. Well, to be honest, I have been overwhelmed by the experiences that I have seen during my traveling. I have maintained a catalog of all these memorable instances with the intention of incorporating the same into More

Horror Stories

It happens to every traveller and it can be either a badge of honour or a dark secret. I was riding a motor bike in southern Thailand and had a little accident. Some people hit bumps while they were speeding, I swerved to dodge a monkey. That is a pretty honourable reason for an accident, and unlike many of the other travellers who have motor bike accidents, I was actually sober. The problem was I cracked a couple of teeth. More

Family Ties in Vegas

Have I written yet about my adventures in Las Vegas? I arrived a this most glitzy, superficial city on the Greyhound bus after a long but smooth journey from Los Angeles, and went straight to my youth hostel in a quiet, unfashionable part of the city. Yes, in amongst the huge hotels and expensive areas, there are a few cheaper places to stay and create a base for the partying.

Vegas is a city of cars and taxis, but being More

Khao San Road Adventures

One of the reasons that I adore Khao San Road in Bangkok is that you can meet such an array of people in such a short period of time. This is a travellers ghetto where people who are coming for a short break, mingle with travellers who have been on the road for a year or two (or five).

If you are really broke, this is a great place to hook up with somebody who will gladly trade stories for an excellent free meal. Last time I was in Khao San Road, I was just returning from a very strenuous journey to see Angkor Wat in Cambodia. I met this great guy looking at Hua Hin Property and he invited me to join him on a journey to this great beach resort.It wasn’t the kind of place that I would normally go, but a free holiday is a free holiday. It was a lot cooler than I thought it would be. I imagined a Phuket nightmare with high rise developments and jet skis.

It’s an old resort, developed over seventy years ago as a getaway for King Rama VII and adopted by Thai nobility and aristocracy. A bit out of my league, but my new mate treated me to a brilliant dinner of local seafood at a restaurant built on stilts, a superb party with some Mekong whiskey, a great night at the house he was thinking of buying, and a return ticket to Bangkok on the train. Not too shabby for yabby!
