Visit Montenegro's Lake Skadar for untamed natural beauty Posted 27 Jan 2012 by Emma Heywood |
If you prefer holidays away from the hordes but close up to truly staggering natural beauty, Montenegro's Lake Skadar is the place for you. Practically unknown in the West, the dramatic beauty of this vast freshwater lake easily rivals more famous European lakes - and it's cheaper too! Virpazar is the lake's main settlement and the best place to be based.The lake and its beautiful hinterland of forests, mountains and floodplains is perfect for activities like kayaking, hiking, cycling, bird-watching, wine tasting, photography and painting.more... |

Nepal has some of the best trekking in the world, to and around several of the world's highest mountains, including Mount Everest. It is amongst the most visited country by trekkers, as Nepal tourism industry is well prepared to facilitate all manner of trekking styles and destinations. Trekking is one of the best ways to experience the wild and lofty places, diverse cultural heritages and varied geographic conditions of Nepal. Nepal's trekking route passes through the lush green forests of rhododendron, bamboo, oak, different landscapes, ice falls, glaciers, high altitude, frozen lakes and breathtaking snow caped mountains. To add to this, you get to experience the diverse culture and lifestyle of Nepalese people varying through different regions. Thus, trekking in Nepal is not making it to the mountains; it's about experiencing nature, variety of culture, festivals and most importantly exploring the uncharted places.more... |

Return to India Posted 31 Dec 2011 by Aline Dobbie |
I go off to India again for six week at the end of January and indeed a month today we will have arrived in Karnataka for 12 days, after which we fly up to Madhya Pradesh for about a week and then drive hopefully to Gujarat for the very first time. After that, to which I am hugely looking forward, we fly to Delhi and then drive to Bareilly in Uttar Pradesh and two other places and then return to Delhi. I shall be returning to some favourite places but also visiting completely new places and the combination promises to be six weeks of enjoyment and adventure - about which I will write when I return. Happy New Year for 2012 Aline Dobbie www.thepeacockscall.co.uk http://picasaweb.google.com/alinedobbiemore... |

Chinese Furniture SHOPPING IN SHANGHAI Posted 14 Dec 2011 by Winnie Huang |
|
After about a 45 minute taxi ride, our first furniture vendor, Royal (the English name he has taken), greeted us at an intersection in his part of the metropolis and then drove us in his van to his furniture warehouse. His warehouse offered us rows and rows of stacked furniture to choose from. Not being air conditioned, the place was hot, humid, dimly lit and dusty; ah, warehouse shopping in Shanghai. Hand-selecting our furniture is very important to us and we think to our customers. This process allows us to inspect each piece by seeing and touching, looking inside drawers, testing finishes, accessing the craftsmanship and to ask questions from the suppliers. We have rejected many pieces because they didnot meet our standards. We felt comfortable with Royal's knowledge of the furniture and the furniture business. Royal's true passion is designing furniture with a new interpretation of Chinese style. We learned that he personally collects furniture, from around China, and restores and/or repairs the piece as needed in his warehouse. Over the centuries, much of the antique stock of furniture, in China, has been damaged due to neglect and the conditions in which they have been housed. We hand-selected about 45 pieces of furniture from his collection. try to reach him at 13901685220 or 13621990301 to talk visit his furiture warehouse in suburb shanghai. email: shanghaifurniture@hotmail.commore... |

Travelling in Mongolia Posted 01 Dec 2011 by Eternal Landscapes |
|
Traditionally, Mongolians are superstitious and more than likely your Mongolian tour driver will be as well. Try not to make a joke about the possibility of breaking down or having a flat tyre as misfortune might be attracted by talking in such a negative manner. In addition, try never to ask how many hours the journey will take as this may influence and bring misfortune on your trip. I did ask. Once. And we got stuck in a river for 6 hours. I learnt my lesson!more... |
