Visit the land of snow monsters

Collectively, we are so used to seeing Japan as squeaky clean streets, gracious and polite residents and - almost - not a hair out of place.  Cherry blossoms.  Mount Fuji.  Bullet trains.  Mind-blowing food. And, of course all of that is correct.  But there are some places in Japan that don't always bubble up to the…

One of…

Where were the rivers of Babylon?

Much like our Rastafarian friends, we often where the rivers of Babylon were located.  And, even more, where was Babylon itself?  And what happened to it? According to Wikipedia.org, Babylon was the capital city of the ancient Babylonian Empire, which itself is a term referring to either of two separate empires in the Mesopotamian area in antiquity. These two empires achieved regional dominance between the 19th and 15th centuries BC, and again between the 7th and 6th centuries BC.   But where is it now?  And why should you visit?  It is a fascinating and unusual adventure into ancient history, that’s why. Due to Babylon’s historical significance as well as references to it in…

And,…

Ride the Hong Kong dragon

As if Hong Kong is not enough on its own, it also shyly features quiet joys. Fear not.  We're not discussing a fiery Cantonese dish (most aren't.)  Nor are we proposing some kind of thrill ride that requires diapers (although this activity features thrills of its own.) One little-known joy of Hong Kong is Shek O Peak,…
