Aren't we lucky people, these days. Most of us that is. Money is flowing for those who have, of course, but also more and more, for those who have not, or are on the edge of having. It's been a long trip for so many, but all are welcome. To the…

You know you're dying to stay here. Imagine the envy of even your closest friends. You've come to the right place. You might think we're speaking of an auteur, but we have news for you. "Arte by Thomas Chan" is not a person, but a luxury, art-inspired hotel in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, designed to…
Travelers are spoiled with choice these days. Some travelers are just spoiled. Sure, twerking in front of your friends is swell, but is it really necessary when it comes to walking the planet? The answer, of course is a resounding no. Share and share alike, but be a grownup about it. …
Noooo. It's Butlins! We're all about fun. And we're all about history. Put them together and the fun never stops. There was a period in history where more and more families were seeing more and more money in their bank accounts. This also aligns with them having more children who…
We're not trying to make you go, oh no, no no. But, if love is in your heart for almost everything, we have something here that is nothing but wonderful. Imagine watching a crumbled mess of a building almost be
miraculously transformed into a place anyone would want to stay in, let alone…
For many of us, religion is not a big thing in our lives. We might reference it during the holidays, or where other instances suggest we do, but this is kind of rare. But what about Nuns in this day and age? Religious people become nuns as a way to dedicate their entire lives…
Boy, there's a stigma that needs to go away, pronto. Delhi, India is as big, bustling and modern as any world-class city. The old stereotype of crumbled architecture, barefoot residents and non-existent infrastructure is old hat. Delhi has established itself as a top world city by shedding its old stereotypes and embracing modernization, driven…

Another rail post, but of a different timbre this time: these posts seem to be coming fast and furious now that the planet is making it quite clear that we dim humans are missing the plot. Recent climate data shows that global warming is accelerating at an unprecedented rate, with human activities identified as…
Oz is one of those places that everyone wants to visit, and that's no surprise, when you consider the depth and breadth that the country has to offer, even if it is rather far away from where you might be at the moment. Why is that? Perth's unique character as a travel destination stems…
In case you think this post will end up being a sales pitch, we promise that it will be (of sorts) but will also thrill you to pieces when you see what its all about. We were squealingly surprised when it landed in our in-box. As you'll obviously see by the title of…
Sit down, calm down and watch this super explainer that, after a few review of the video, will help you be in a much better place, instead of the place where you though you were expecting to be when it comes to Japanese rail. Luckily, we have an expert who will make the magic…
This could be your foot in the door, or your escape out the window of sorts. Plus, it's a very civil place to be in this rather fraught day and age. Even better, when you inform your chums, the bragging rights will shoot through the roof. Longyearbyen is the northernmost city in…
History is peculiar. Is it correct? Is it real? Who are the victors, and why? Lots of questions. Luckily, we have the will, the brains and, nowadays, the technology to separate the wheat from the chaff. One bit of history that has persisted for many decades in American history is…
“The best way to have a good idea is to have a lot of ideas.” In winding my way through the process of writing content for our site, it usually appears either in an almost dreamy, fully-formed shape, or it's something that I find myself scratching my head for hours just to try…
Is this typical European efficiency or someone's idea of a joke. Or both? The Netherlands and Belgium share a 450 km border, which is notable for its complexity, particularly in the town of Baarle. This border is part of the Schengen Area, meaning there are no regular passport checks. The border's intricacies stem from historical treaties and land swaps, resulting…
Solid as a rock. You get what it says on the tin. With a name like Concrete, you can be sure that its solid as a rock. No fancy pantsy mumbo jumbo. Real. By now, we're pretty sure that you're confused with this post. What on earth does concrete have…
Kids these days, for the most part, have no idea of what the past was like, especially the 1960's and 1970's. They may have a parent or grandparent who can fill them in. The 1960s were a crucial, tumultuous decade defined by massive social, political, and cultural shifts, including the Civil Rights Movement, the rise…
That's history, sometimes. Especially if "the victors" win. And they usually do. The rest of us usually only find out much, much later. A good example is Chungking Mansions. Ring a bell? Likely not. Things like the subject matter here often submerge into anonymity, never to be referenced or…
