China- Motorcycle taxis see need for speed
June 15th, 2011
If you want to really get into the Chinese transport culture, maybe a hairy ride on a motorcyle taxi is the way to go…Zhang Yue explains:
If you visit Hefei, capital of Anhui province, don’t be surprised if you see an elegantly dressed woman on the back of a dilapidated motorcycle ridden by a bruiser. Very likely, she just could not get a cab.
Traffic congestion is well documented in first-tier cities such as Beijing, where the average commute from home to work takes 52 minutes.
Franz Josef Glacier – a great place to visit!
April 5th, 2011
Kerry Myers send us this great piece about Franz Josef Glacier in New Zealand. Having visiting the town and the glacier, I can agree with everything she says!
A day spent in Franz Josef Glacier township result in a lifetime of memories, and the opportunity to visit one of the most spectacular natural features in the world, before it disappears.
Often seen as a mere pit stop on the way to other more well known destinations, Franz Josef Glacier is a small township located on the West Coast of New Zealand’s South Island, and is well worth a night or two to explore what this region has to offer.

A little outside our normal range, we thought you may be interested in things to do in Dubai. While the urban area has attractions, so does the surrounding desert. Here is an article from the BBC. We can of course provide help with hotels in Dubai.

Reader’s Tales – Kangaroo Valley
February 23rd, 2011
Reader Luci Sheppard tells us about her favourite getaway location. I have also been to Kangaroo Valley and agree that is it a great location. The sandstone bridge is worth a photo as well!
I just got back from a trip to Kangaroo Valley Golf Course. Just over a 2 hour drive out of Sydney, it’s a great escape away from the bustling of the city.
With the luscious greenery and sight of farms everywhere, it’s easy to forget about the office, a computer and the constant phone ringing. I’ve been numerous times and with beautiful cabins right on the golf course, it’s so nice to wake up to actual peace and quiet. Not quite the golfer myself, there’s tennis courts, a swimming pool, a bar, restaurant, and with a big balcony on each cabin, great to just play cards and make home made delicious food.
I’ve been as both a girls weekend and with my boyfriend and every time I wish I could stay longer.
Reader’s tales – Towers of Chevron Renaissance Surfers Paradise
February 15th, 2011
We love to hear about where people holiday, or where there favourite place happens to be.
Chantal Butcher shares with us what started out to be a disaster holiday on Queensland’s Gold Coast, only to find what she says is the perfect holiday destination!
We travelled to Queensland last year as a family with our two young boys 3 and 5. We were lured into a “family resort” that we instantly disliked, so much so that we checked out and looked elsewhere for our accommodation.
