View from Above; Cebu, Philippines

Cebu, Philippines

Nothing beats the view from the top.

Whether standing at a height or flying from above, a sense of serenity comes over those who look down upon the chaos below. A little separation can do wonders for the soul.

But don’t think that heights are always a comfortable experience. On firm ground all is well, however, hanging over the edge of an elevated plateau can be simultaneously thrilling and terrifying. Continue

Look Inside Silicon Valley; California

Silicon Valley; California

Silicon Valley - a tech company’s wonderland where money practically grows on trees and people become millionaires overnight.

At least some of them do. People from around the world have been flocking to the Northern California location (just 30 minutes south of San Francisco) to live the American dream of earning a living, buying a house and raising a family.

The Silicon Valley is essentially an area of urban and business sprawl spanning north from San Jose (the 3rd largest city in California and 10th in the U.S.) to Palo Alto, where it all began.Continue

Lounge and People Watch; Nha Trang, Vietnam

Nha Trang, Vietnam

Nha Trang – the Miami of Vietnam offers beautiful beaches, cheap beer, and a fun promenade for excellent people watching.

It’s easy to lose yourself along the six kilometer white sand beach dripping with palm trees and restaurants making it the perfect beach destination in Vietnam.

Nha Trang has always been a gem along the South China Sea with a surprisingly mild history for its stunning scenery. Tourism hit Nha Trang during the American Vietnam War when the US opened an air force base (now the closest airport to Nha Trang called Cam Ranh International Airport) located only 22 miles (35 km) away.

There’s no surprise that the Americans thought Nha Trang was heaven on earth with its warm temperate waters, long stretch of sandy coast, and mild climate almost year round (with the exception of October to December during Monsoon season). Today, both Vietnamese and international tourist flock to Nha Trang for a wide variety of activities and, of course, the beach.Continue

Loitering at the Mall; Doha, Qatar

Doha, Qatar

The desert sun can wear you down.  You can become sluggish, dehydrated and sun burnt.  After you’ve spend extended time under the fiery orb, it’s important to find an oasis.  If that oasis is air conditioned, all the better.

Some of the best spots to avoid the heat when visiting Doha, Qatar are in shopping malls.  With immense dimensions, interesting themes, and a selection of activities, the malls are a step up from your typical local fare. Continue

Enjoying the View; Kuwait City, Kuwait

Kuwait City, Kuwait

With all of that oil money, it’s no surprise that Kuwait’s cityscape is something to admire. But while walking through the streets, it’s easy to get suffocated by heat, crowds, and massive buildings.

And when that happens, it’s best to seek heights. From an elevated perspective, problems seem to melt away and a sense of serenity will be quick to take over.

As much as a viewpoint, the Kuwait Towers offer a form of architectural therapy.

Get Freaky; Haw Par Villa, Singapore

Haw Par Villa, Singapore

A day at the theme park is rarely described as a deeply disturbing experience.

But typical theme parks don’t often leave you with hellish images of bloody torture. Nor do they confuse you with symbolic sculptures and detailed dioramas.

With that being said, it’s safe to say that Haw Par Villa isn’t your average theme park.Continue
