| Remember Columbus and the Spice Islands?- That’s Kochin! It’s one of the most beautiful smelling cities in India. The language is Malayaam, which sounds like if you rolled your tongue indiscriminately and said "blublub". The writing constitutes of what looks like a lot of curly 'm's and 'w's. So nice. Coconuts? Everywhere! Overall? Very fine!

| Going to India might be a disappointment, unless you take into account that you’ve actually entered a culture different then yours. So, when things don’t go the way you were assured they will, don’t conclude everybody’s a liar. Rather, take it a jest of kindness. I know, I know it’s hard. Maybe a visit to Bollywood will help take off the pressure?

| This article is a bit shocking for me. When you choose a destination to go or article to read, you expect to find out how beautiful this country is and how wonderful someone felt there. But this is not the case. Here you will find a lot of things which tourists do not speak in public about India.

| Travel During a Time of War |

| How is it to be American and travel during the war with Iraq in India, where people are the most concerned about political situation in the world? It is sometimes difficult, if you meet people with strong anti US or anti war visions. Then you are tempted to say you are Canadian, but you resist and go further. At least you are not traveling in Iraq.

| Malaysia - Belwildering Borneo |

| What is it Borneo despite rain forests and beautiful snorkeling places? Monsoons and torrential rains that raise the level of water a inch in an hour! Wondering how wet can this season be? “We thought at least we would see more animals as it was rainy season but our glum guide said 'sure in rainy season, but not rainy season like this”

| Dipping My Toe Into Borneo |

| You think making a bike trip around Borneo no problem? It’s not exactly the case. First, you have to cope with the heat and humidity. But natural conditions aren’t the worst. To enter Malaysian part of Borneo you should give up your bike, as this transport is forbidden there. So, no way to make a round trip of Borneo? Again, not the case…

| Kyoto is a city of a 1000 temples... Can you imagine? If you happen to witness a festival there you realize this is quite something. The traditional values of the Japanese culture are clearly present and integrated in the otherwise modern organized Japanese society.

| A very neat and concise overview of Ulan Bator, its culture and present conditions. When you think what a great people it was centuries ago, conquering land and subjugating nations. But now things changed and life is not the same for Mongolians.

| Again, a very unusual perspective on some of the aspects of traveling to a country like Nepal. A perceptive mind will catch the bitter-sarcastic note describing the reality of life, touching on some people's attitudes and the deplorable state of things.

| Cherrapunjee: Where Rain Is Measured In Feet |
| Submitted by lisa on

| It is an article about the irony of the nature. Cherrapunjee, the wettest place on the earth, belief it or not, attracts tourists, too. And here it comes the irony. Seven days and it only rained 10 inches, and this is only by night. What is left to do in this case? – waking up at 3AM and with only a flashlight have the desired walk in the rain!
