Beijing gearing up for the Olympics!


It is time that Beijing came to terms with the various problems, both internal and external and concentrated on providing the stage for the perfect Olympics ever. One can hope that this will be the gala to outshine every other one so far. China is a wonderful place to visit and if one is into games then the Olympics would be the best time to visit China. There are quite a few problems confronting China and one can hope that with time, the Chinese would be able to settle all outstanding issues. Given the length and breadth of China, it may be a bit overwhelming for the first time visitors. So take a moment prior to your trip to read more on this nation and its rich cultural history, try to re-discover the ancient links between China and India.

The religious traditions that are followed by the modern Chinese is quite fascinating in itself, for on one hand they believe in a system that does not allow for any religious sentiments, but on the other, they have this blind faith in god, astrology and sea- monsters. Modern China is quite interesting in that way, you would probably get to see a bit of the old China shine through all that Glitz and glamour, the interesting thing is that these two china's co-exist with one another. Coming back to traveling in China, one of the must see sights is none other than the Great Wall of China itself. The structure may or may not be visible from space but it is the only monument that has been in a stage of development for 2000 years and is still being built today. back then, it was built for the purpose of security but today it is being developed to conserve the Chinese cultural heritage.


From the Three gorges dam to the markets of Guangzong, there is quite a bit to see. It is always a good idea to read a travel guide or two to China before the commencement of the trip itself. In addition to providing information on places to see, these Travel guides will also provide information on hotels to stay at as well as which ones are good and so on. Have a great time in China and hope that you are able to get a few tickets to the Olympics!

Coffee headaches while travelling?

Have you ever wondered why the rest of the world does not resemble your home? Well, if it did, then what is the point of traveling, is the quip I often get as an answer. The world is a huge place, that is a given, but what seems to escape most of us is the fact that each and every place has its own quaint customs and cuisine. The one way to truly appreciate the ambiance would be to make friends with the locals as well as try out some of their local cuisine.

Every time we travel, we will come across strange customs and new cuisine. Well, other than that, the most essential thing to remember is to respect their customs and traditions, as we would expect them to do while on our homeland. One of the things that I found a little bit difficult to get used to was a lack of strong coffee, while backpacking through Azerbaijan. I did get the coffee I wanted while staying in this great hotel, but the minute I stepped out of the air conditioned doors, well, it became something else altogether.

Azerbaijan is a beautiful country, from the top to the bottom, in ways you would not expect. For one, this place is such a mishmash of traditions and cultures, that I could not believe that I was in a Islamic country. The coffee that I got at the street stalls was nowhere near the black coffee that my system is used to, the result being that by the end of the day I had a splitting headache that was showing no signs of going anywhere.

It is important to remember to pack all of your medicines, the ones that you will need as well as the ones you may not need. With my headache in tow, I headed to the nearest pharmacy only to find out that saridon is not sold as saridon here and I did not know the name of its local variation. So, in the end, I got a herbal treatment for my headache, which was surprisingly effective.

There are a few things you may want to do before you head down Azerbaijan's way for one, get a language translation book if possible. That aside, remember to pack all the medicines that you may need. Try and research more on the place that you are planning to travel to. You can try one of the many sites for booking your hotel rooms and make sure that you have all the details with you when you travel, for example, I left mine in my desk drawer back at home and had quite a time in finding out which hotel I had booked. So if you want to avoid the headaches that I encountered, I suggest in trying to follow some of the guidelines that I have listed.

The cuisine that you will come across in this part of the world is rich in both content and variety. If you would like to experiment then this would be a wonderful place to begin it with. For one, I have never seen meat products being cooked the way that it has been done here here. There is a variety of products of both the vegetarian and the non vegetarian variety available here in Azerbaijan. You can snack on a lot of fast food items or try out their main courses, which are quite delicious. The food here is mildly spiced with spices such as cinnamon and saffron, and there is a ready to eat service available in most of the eateries. But there are a few places here in Azerbaijan which seems to have forgotten some of the basic rules of hygiene. So make sure that you choose the right place and as a precaution, make sure that you drink bottled water/boiled water.

Azerbaijan was an important place in the old silk route and as such, there are quite a few sights to see here. From the Shrivanshah palace to the national museum of Azerbaijan literature. My trip to Azerbaijan has certainly taught me quite a few things apart from not leaving my hotel details back at home. Hope that you would be able to have a great experience as I did on my trip to this warm and friendly country.

The Foreign experience in India!



First of all, some of the so called 'wild' behavior of the tourists, I have witnessed myself. The thing to remember is that whenever you visit a foreign country you should take care to pay heed to the local customs and traditions. Also, I have posted some guidelines here for the tourists visiting India for the first time.

Remember, India is a huge country and for the most part it is yet to adopt the western way. Just because you see a cow walking on the road that does not mean that the whole of India is backward or is still antiquated. Frankly, I do not see why seeing a cow on the street amazes the foreigners so much. The cows are present in the villages in the west as well, so why is it that an Indian cow can attract so much attention?

Anyway, here are some of the pointers that I think foreign tourists should take a look at,
1. First of all, leave all your perceptions of India back in the west, India is not just about snake charmers, elephants and jungles. There are quite a few tourists who seem to think that Rudyard Kipling's romanticizing of India is all true when it is not.

2. Please take care not to wound the sentiments of any Indians that you may meet, do not mock them or say things about their religion. Remember that most of the Indians, especially in the south know English quite well, even the beggar on the street would know a smattering of English.

3. When you leave the airport or the train station, ask the government official or the tourism board people to help set up your transportation, other wise you are setting yourself to get fleeced. Once you enter India, think in Rupees and not dollars.

4. DO not wear skimpy clothes, it only brings unwelcome attention and what is more it is not appreciated by the locals. I know that the Indian summer can make many a westerner sweat like anything, so do not travel to India in the peak summer season. Remember that India is not LA, so take care to wear modest clothing at all times.

5. Remember to drink plenty of fluids when in India as the heat can really get to you unless you are in the north where the opposite would hold sway, north as in the Himalayas.

6. Remember to buy some stomach medicine and carry it with you at all times as most of the Indian food is 'too spicy' for almost all the westerners. If you are the kind of person who loves a bowl of hot chili, you would love the Indian food.

7. Indians are always ready to help you at the drop of the hat, so if you need assistance, you can probably ask them for assistance. Indians by and large are quite friendly people.

8. When visiting a temple, please take care to heed the local customs, some of them may seem too antiquated to you but it is not your country so remember to follow them accordingly. When it says no photo should be taken in a temple of god, which means no photo. If you do not follow that, it may result in your camera getting confiscated or worse, in you getting arrested.

9. Certain temples are off limits to all foreigners and no exceptions are made as far as this goes, so sorry about that.

10. When you visit an Indian household, remember to take some gift with you. Take care to leave your footwear OUTSIDE the house. most of the Indians do not appreciate you trampling all over their homes with your shoes.

11. Do not hug or kiss an Indian woman as a form of greeting, that may be the norm in the west, but in India, it will result in you getting into a lot of hot water.

12. Above all, remember to be courteous and thank any Indian who helps you. Also, take care not to litter and have a nice time in India!

The yahoo travel portal!


The Yahoo travel portal seems to be getting more and more personalized these days. With the recent imbroglio concerning yahoo and Microsoft, i am not surprised that they are sprucing up the site but as i researched some information for my upcoming vacation to ooty, i was surprised to see the depth of the information that was available in that site. From the sights to see to the food that one can expect there, this portal had also linked up to reviews of other travellers as well. Check it out!

The help with our travel plans!

Whenever we travel with our family, it costs a bundle and if the trip is to some exotic location, well one can imagine the run up of the costs. As it is, these days, it is getting harder and harder to get by and when it comes to that family trip, we all need a hand or two with our finances. So in such circumstances, it may be a good idea to consider Start Up Financing.
Forget all about the bank, they have pretty much tightened the purse strings ever since the sub prime disaster. Even a small loan application takes the bank eons to approve. So banks may not suit our needs here. We need the Start Up Financing to finance our holiday with our entire family. We need the funds fast and the one of the few sites that seems to fit the bill is this one here.
Here at this site, our loan approval is so quick that it is only moments before the cash is deposited to your checking account. And the customer service here is really fantastic. All things considered, this is indeed the best option when it comes to the topic of Start Up Financing.

The Nicaraguan delight!


Whenever we think of Nicaragua these days, it is more in relation to some of the most wonderful beaches than anything else. For one, Nicaragua has some great white sandy beach fronts that are calling to all of us. For those of you who do heed that call, all I can say is that you will not be disappointed at all!

One of the best places in Nicaragua for the best beach experience is none other than San Juan del Sur. It is a tiny beach town, just north of Costa rica and one that will make you think great things about Nicaragua. Here, at San Juan del Sur, is one of the best hotels that you would have ever stayed in. You can say that this hotel is the best of all the San Juan del Sur Hotels
. It is none other than the La Posada Azul.



This hotel is really great in the sense that the ambiance that one gets here is just incomparable to any other place in all of Nicaragua. All the rooms come with their own private baths and I have to say that the service ad the hospitality here is just nothing but fantastic in this Nicaragua Hotel.



This place is just a small fishing village and as such, you may even end up having the whole place to yourself. To get to San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua
just take a flight to Granada from where this beautiful place is just 11/2 hours away or you can also travel from Costa rica, the choice is yours. All in all, this is one of a kind of a place that no traveler in his or her right mind would miss out on, so take the next flight and come down and check out this 'beach hotel' for yourself!

Misty morning!


These days it seems to get more and more mistier in the mornings, if there is such a word. I guess it has to do with the recent cold wave that we are all experiencing. It is really fantastic to take a walk in the cold mist, it really energises you in more ways than one. All you have to do is to take a walk, not jog, along the beach front and with the sound of the breakers/waves hitting the shores and the screech of the sea gulls flying overhead and with the tangy salty air, one can forget the rest of the world and just have some plain and healthy fun! Try it and you will see what I mean!

Smaller wallets!

The wallets are getting smaller these days in more ways than one, with the way that the economy is doing, travelling to even nearby places seems to be out of the question for most of us. When the holidays come about, we all love to travel to distant places with our entire family on tow, that seems to be a distant dream these days.
With the cost of living shooting up and showing no signs of slowing down at all, even getting by seems to be a difficult thing to do these days. Even if we apply for bank loan these days, with the banks all tightening up their respective purse strings, climbing Mount Everest seems to be a much easier thing to do.
The only safe option for short term emergency loan that is available these days is the presence of companies like these that offer us the payday loan. The thing to note here is that this company is really great in the sense that the rate of interest that they charge on the loan is really low and what is more the repayment plan is also quite flexible. The neat thing about all this is that the loan approval does not take that much time and it is really fast. Once approved, they deposit the funds to your bank account right away, so you will have the cash sitting in your account all waiting for you! So, if you are in need of some emergency funds, well feel free to apply by clicking on the link above!

Newcastle - the perfect Parking!


Have you ever traveled to Newcastle? It sure is a beautiful place to visit, both in summer and winter. As it was, I had to telecommute out of it for almost 7 months and I have to say that one of the hardest things about my experience was the airport parking.

It is not that I am not a football fan, I love a game just as much as the person next to you. But Newcastle, especially the Airport parking is notorious for having 'no space' at all for new visitors. Often, I had to park my car in some dinghy joint, far away from the airport and had to either walk or take a bus to the airport. But now, with the help of this site, my life was made a whole lot easier. This site lists out all the available parking space at the airport for all days, even on the days of the big football matches. What is more, we can actually book our parking space much in advance. This is such a relief to me as I no longer have to walk long distances so that I can drive my car home and I can always be sure that my car will be there where I had left it.

The other great thing about this site is that it also lists all the available Hotel rooms near the airport as well as the average cost per room per night. This certainly makes things a whole lot easier for fellow travelers as it had done for me. So, if you are planning to travel to Newcastle or out of it, then do pay a visit to this site as it is a 'must visit' site for every dusty traveler on the road!

The Xmas angel?

It is that time of the year when it is really nice to give than receive and I have t say that Boat angel does a really good job of doing just that. It would indeed be a much better world if we all tried to give something back to the society at large. How often have we walked past an old man begging on the street for money, we do not even bother with giving him some alms and we rationalise this by saying that he would only use it for drinks and other nefarious habits that he may have. I think that it is time that we all stopped being so cynical, after all, if you do not want to give money to a beggar, you can always buy hi or her some hot soup. This does not mean that I condone begging but given the situation, I think that irrespective of what our beliefs or principles may be, we should always help a fellow human being in need and that is what Boat angel does by way if its Boat Donations.
I am not saying that go to your closet and take out that fur coat and hand it to the first person in need. You can always take that very first step by taking part in the Charity Boat Donations.Given that it is going to be some time before we do change our habits and start helping out in a big way, but any donation, big or small, is most welcome and would most definitely help. The one thing to remember is that donations are not for increasing the 'feel good' factor about oneself, it is not about us but it is all about helping out those who need it the most and that is it,no more and no less.
Here at Boat Angel, that is exactly what they do, there are no heroes except team work and all of it goes to improving the conditions of their fellow men and women. Recently they did a very good job with troubled teens and now, those teens have all overcome their demons and are living very full and satisfied lives. By taking part in these boat donations, you are actually taking part in the production and distribution of the Children's Christian Animations on Free DVDs, which has no shipping charge and anyone and everyone anywhere can order it. So just click on the links above and take that very first step and travel to the rest of the world who needs us!

The cost of travelling and debts!

Every time that one takes a family trip one ends up running the bills into thousands of dollars, in short any and every family vacation lands us right back into debt. With all the latest news on the financial front not all that good and with the way that the economy has been performing lately, literally dissolving what ever meagre savings that we may have ferreted away, I for one am glad that I came across this site.
This site is all about how to Consolidate Debt.
The one thing that we all tend to do these days is to get more and more debt and before we know it, we are all in a debt trap with no way out. Instead of making many payments all over a single month, it is always better to make one payment instead. That is what consolidation is all about, the good thing is that now, with this consolidation, we have to worry only about one debt and as such we no longer have to spend sleepless nights thinking whether we have made all the payments for all of our debts or not.
Also with consolidation, we can get to have a much more easier repayment schedule. The best part is that most of the debt consolidation can be done very quickly and one would not need to wait countless hours like in the bank. So just go t the link above and click on it and you will soon know what debt consolidation is all about!

Essaouira - the haven for many!


Since time immemorial, Essaouira has served as a haven for many travellers from all over the world. It is situated strategically along the Moroccan coast line and has a natural well protected harbour. Essaouira is a beautiful city to visit and the best places to go to Essaouira are many so it would not be possible to discuss them all here, but I shall do my best.

Where do I start, I guess in the beginning since that seems to be the apt place to start everything. Essaouira, was coveted by the Phoenicians and the Romans and some of the Carthage wars were fought on this coast line. That does make one think, does it not? Well, it did make me think, just as I was walking along the coastline, appreciating the ancient harbour, all the conflicts that had taken place here.
I came here from Marrakesh and the journey, although not comfortable and all that, still was picturesque enough for me to put up with it. But if you are allergic to dust and all that, then it is better that you put off the trip for some time. Anyway Essaouira is bustling with life just as it did under the Phoenicians. It is basically a sea faring village cum city. The markets are not to be missed especially early in the morning, just as the first catch trickles in to the city ramparts.

The life, the language, the spices, the colors and the way that people talk to each other, all of it makes for a very heady experience. The cuisine here is a hot pot of every invader who had come to Morocco and settled here. But the one common ingredient that you will find in most of its dishes is the chick peas. The dishes themselves are very subtle and not all that spicy as one may think, which is great news for the Western travellers.
The hotels here are quite affordable and do not forget to bargain for anything and everything here. It is the custom here to barter and do so, you may get very pleasantly surprised. Also, when you are in a shop to purchase something, do not wave your money about as that kind of arrogance would only attract the wrong sort of crowd.

The streets are very narrow here and I do mean narrow, it is kind of interesting to wander down the narrow alleyways thinking of the humongous freeways that we have back in our cities.The old fort is here and it does make up for that dusty ambiance that Essaouira has some of the time. That said, do not forget to pay a visit to the old harbour and see if you can do so during sunset. That is a sight that will stay with you for a very, very long time to come!

Marrakesh - the aura of mystery!


Marrakesh the land of the red ochre, since most of the buildings are covered with it and then you have the snow clad Atlas mountains for contrast. I have to say that when I travelled to Marrakesh I cam here with certain preconceptions about this palace and the Moroccan culture. I have to say that I was very pleasantly surprised with the way my entire trip turned out. First of all the airport customs could do with a little bit of help as far as the English language goes, you have to repeat yourself to make your point to them. That said,once you step out of the lounge, you may wilt a bit at the heat, but the sight that greets your eyes is bound to take your breath away, literally.
The Atlas mountains are magnificent and one can just spend the whole day just watching them without even knowing the passing of time itself and what is more, at sunset, just as the sun sets, the mountains turn to burnished gold, that is a sight that no one should miss for the world.
When it comes to accommodation overseas, the best thing that you can do is to reserve your hotel rooms in advance. There are many sites that offer to help you out on this and you can try out one of them for your rooms. The room rates generally vary between 24$ to 110$ a night and sometimes even more, it all comes down to what kind of a room you want. You can either settle for just a room or a room with a view of the Atlas mountains. I tried the later and I have to say that I am one happy customer.

Marrakesh is a place that has featured in many a novel from the ones by Agatha Christie to the other authors, it has always been a favorite destination for the Europeans for many years and today there are many french citizens who have made this place their home. So do not be all that surprised if the Moroccans speak to you in french. The Berbers maintain the age old customs and traditions of Morocco and the age old 'Le Souk' or the market is a place that one must not forget to go to. This market is one which is all about contrasts, although the souk has its roots in ancient history, it is very modern and the contrasts that one finds at this place is simply too hard to believe. Once can shop here till nightfall and anything and everything from clothes,furs,rugs,carpets,spices,bangles,jewellery and many, many more are sold here. Tip: always haggle before purchasing anything at any market in Marrakesh.

You also have the Hammam here, which is just another word for spa. And this is one spa experience that you will never forget for all sorts of reasons. First of all, park your inhibitions at the door because you will be asked to disrobe here and guess what, you will not be the only person in the room. But the treatment itself is just fantastic and I have to say that this one did work out all the kinks in my back, so it was great as far as I was concerned and very refreshing as well.
Marrakesh is full of sights and sounds that one should not miss out on. Of course there are the usual hotel bars and discotheques, but if you want the real experience, then you better start walking the city grids.
As far as sights and sounds go, there is the El-Badi palace, that was built I think somewhere in the 1570's by king Ahmed el-Mansour. It is quite vast and is very nice to look at, but unfortunately it was torn down shortly after it was built so we can only see the ruins today. Then there is the The Bahia Palace , which is beautiful in its beauty , the building and the surrounding gardens are all built in the Islamic tradition, please set some time aside to visit this place as it can take up a lot of time.
Then there are the museums to go to, and the tombs although I always found that part of the expedition a little bit too creepy and at the end of the day you can always get a nice cold drink of orange juice or some fruit cocktail at a stall in one of the many souks along the way.

At the end of my visit to Marrakesh, I have to say that I enjoyed my visit a lot but what i ended up enjoying all the more was the Moroccan food, with the bastilla or the cous-cous with lamb and then there is my favorite of the lot, some lemon chicken, grilled Moroccan style! Hope you will have fun visiting Morocco and Marrakesh as much as I did!

The Travel insurance that makes all the difference!


We all love to travel and recently I even made a trip myself which I shall be covering at a later post. But what I had wanted to share with all of you out there, who think that they have all the medical coverage that they may need as they travel overseas, it is time to seriously think about how far that coverage will go?

Why do we need Insurance as we travel overseas? Well, for one the food is often the most common cause of most hospitalisations overseas, lets face it, we as westerners just cannot stomach even a bit of spicy food. The minute we take it into our mouths, our tummies start rebelling right away. If we are fortunate, this distress may last only for a day or two at the most and can be handled with the most common over the counter medicines. But more often than not, our bodies just cannot handle all that hot and spicy food and as a result we often get dehydrated and need to be hospitalised. And naturally our medical expenses will just shoot up through the ceiling, and we may think that our insurance will cover all that. But here is the catch, whenever it comes to insurance, there always is a catch and the bottom line is that most of the insurance companies will not cover your medical expenses that you may incur overseas and what is more, even the few that agree to do so, will only agree to cover half of our medical expenses.

How do I know this? Well, in my last trip to Egypt, I ended up being hospitalised with both a broken leg as well as acute dehydration. What I had stated above had all happened to me . And just when I thought that there seems to be no proper travel Insurance coverage that seems to exist, I came across this company that makes sure that you get all the right coverage as you travel overseas and the best part is that they can give you the coverage for as little as 1$.

The Parking dilema!

Have you been to Heathrow airport, if so then you will know what a busy terminal it is. First of all, getting hold of a Parking space in itself is a rarity, sometimes you have to keep on diving around for one and then just when you spot a space to park your car, someone else comes along and takes it. It has happened to me so many times that I have lost count of it. Which is why I for one am glad that this company has come about. Now we can get the parking that we want but that is not all, with this company we can get the parking space for our cars and the cream in this offer is that it is a discount heathrow airport parking.
After this, I do not think that any of our trips to Heathrow will ever be such a nightmare. There are times when I cursed the fact that i had to go to the airport and it was all because of the parking dilemma. But now with this company all of my airport parking needs are all taken care of. The next time you want to travel you may want to go to the links above for your Heathrow parking space!

The concert tickets at the click!


Everyone loves to go to a concert or a ballet or a musical. But to actually go to one, that is to get the tickets is easier said than done. Which is why I for one am glad that there are ticket hubs like the Viagogo where we can get the Tickets to the latest shows at the drop of the hat,literally!
Recently I had travelled to Munich and wanted to take in some of the concerts that were being hosted there. But to my surprise I found that nearly all europeans love their concerts and as a result I had to spend that night watching the concert in the telly. If this is your first time to Europe and Berlin, you should remember that the germans in particular love their operas and concerts and if you plan to talk in the middle of a show, you may get kicked out of the hall. Why am I saying that here,well, because it has happened to me. I guess Europeans in general love their show and as such would not like to see someone talking in the middle of a show. Anyway, I finally managed to get the Konzert Tickets through Viagogo and I have to say that the service was very fast and getting the tickets to the particular concert I wanted to see was no problem at all.
Thorugh this leading ticket hub, one can also get theater tickets and tickets to musicals like the kind that you may hae seen on the broadway. Getting the Theater Tickets was a lesson in itself, in the sense that I had tried some of the other ticket hubs just to see if they could proide me the same quality of serice that I had gotten at Viagogo,but sadly they could not even get me a booking. I have to say that as a ticket hub these guys have impressed me to no end and in the future whenever I travel to Europe, these guys are the ones that I will use for all my ticket purchases! Go to the links above and you will see what I am talking about!
