Rail is never a train in Vain.
We tend to write a fair amount about our planet and its future. Nowadays, there is no shortage of obnoxious rich self-centered individuals on the planet who only think of the next business they can buy, or the next competitor they can take down. In the meantime, the planet is ablaze. They…
In this post, we focus on Europe and more specifically, the UK. We write about these places a lot simply because the UK and Europe are top travel locations. (For reference here, England is a country that is part of the United Kingdom, UK.) It shares land borders with Wales to…
If you spend any time scouring the travel sites (including ours) it won't take much effort to see that China is - finally - becoming the place to visit. The doors are opening up, westerners are welcomed with open arms (provided that you don't prove yourself to be an idiot) and the ways and…
Join us, again, as we venture into the leafy English countryside. This post focuses on more of the southern climes of the UK, way down past London and into the "leafy" parts as its known. There are dozens of lovely little villages for you to explore, but one that we like very much…
As ever, we plumb the heights and the depths of the internet everyday to find content to entertain you (and us.) But we always look for the unusual. So, even though we are of Welsh stock and have been there many, many many times, we've found a new place that was not within…
Can't have the Hawaii's without the lows? Or is it a case of Hawaii Five No?
`A`ohe loa i ka hana a ke aloha = Distance is ignored by love. And that is the case of the $10BN Railway in Hawaii.
Skyline, often referred to as simply rail or the rail…
Sometimes, no matter how good your planning is, you either end up at the airport, sweating, frustrated and angry, usually at yourself. Yes, traffic or bad rail service can be the culprit, but often times its down to you. But, other factors can be that it's down to miscommunication and - not your…
Vietnam never disappoints. But, most travelers tend to go to the "typical places" such as Ho Chi Minh City , Danang and Hanoi. They are all absolutely top destinations and worth your time, if you haven't been. However, in virtually all travel adventures, it's the hidden (or bubbling up) places that are usually…
As we like to do, let's put politics to the side for now and bask in sheer genius, instead. And, not surprisingly, we are featuring China again. The width and depth of their resources, combined with the remarkable can-do attitude and creativity still continues into this millennia. How many countries can boast…
Anyone who lives in the southeast of London surely knows of Croydon, the city that never seems to get any love. And why is that? It has a "reputation," but don't let that alter your wanderlust. There are actually quite a few attributes that you might find interesting. Croydon, located in…
We write a lot about Mexico, because it has a lot to offer, of course. Sun, sea, food, lovely people and it's a holiday bargain. The country is probably more diverse than you remember and, as you jaunt from city to city, you can see how Mexico is a fascinating patchwork of interconnected…
It's funny how some people see things differently than others, especially when those people come from a new city or country. Their perspective is often fresh and surprising to "the locals." So, when you get a glance at what you see before you, it's like a brand new day. Your tired view…
