It’s literally a melting pot.
Known as the food capital of Malaysia – Georgetown boasts some of the best Indian, Chinese and Malay cuisine in the entire world.
Mouth-watering treats like Dim Sum for breakfast, Asam Laksa for lunch and Chicken Tikka Masala with Mango Lassi for dinner have been perfected over hundreds of years and are served up fresh daily.

A green-dyed river, waves of green-clad revelers drinking beer for breakfast, and the sound of bagpipes filling the air?
It must be St. Patrick’s Day in Chicago.

Do you like beer?
There is a place in Europe where making and enjoying beer is built into the very fabric of life. Where rich brewing traditions date back almost a thousand years and are stronger than ever today.
If you happen to be in Europe, and love beer, then make sure to visit the Czech Republic, to whom the whole world needs to thank for lager.
Beer to the Czech Republic is what wine is to France. The first brewery started way back in the year 1118, though monks were brewing beer in monasteries all over the country well before that. By the 13th century, the cities of Budweis, Pilzen and Prague where becoming exporters and growing in fame.
Today, there are breweries in almost every village and it is a treat to visit them while touring the scenic country side.
It’s the most bizarre dinner experience you will ever have. If you are afraid of the dark, this is not for you. Finding the food on your plate becomes a difficult task and getting it in your mouth is an adventure.
One thing is for certain, your senses will be heightened and the food, once you figure out how to eat it, will explode with flavor.
This is a dining experience you will never forget.
Layers. The best cities always have them. Layers which reveal different views and experiences – if you’re willing to let them, anyways – over a period of days, weeks, years.
La Paz is such a city. And unlike most large cities around the world, its high elevation (an ear-popping 11,975 feet/3650 m) quite literally forces you stop and soak up what La Paz has to offer.
This is a very, very good thing. Continue
See if you can stomach it…
You’ll be strapped in a chair that looks like it belongs in a racecar and seated at a rectangular table with 21 other wide-eyed guests.
Once all the safety checks are complete, the entire dinner party will be shot into the skies at 150 feet (45m) within seconds.

In a nation as foreign as Korea, you could find yourself succumbing to culture-shock, overwhelmed by situations that you don’t understand. Simple interactions aren’t so straightforward with a language barrier and a collection of traditions that don’t reflect your own.
To combat homesickness, consider seeking something familiar. Consider going to a baseball game.
Located at the southeastern tip of the Korean peninsula, Busan is South Korea’s second largest city. With an extensive and varying history, Busan can claim to be one of two cities on the peninsula to never have been occupied by North Korean forces.
Currently holding one of the most important ports in the Eastern world, the modern metropolis is a popular tourist destination for those who seek to explore beyond Seoul’s suffocating crowds. Whether you’re looking to party or simply out to find an afternoon of entertainment, Busan’s got you covered.
If you own a super yacht, chances are you will be spending the summer in the Cote d’Azur, also known as the French Riviera.
In fact, 50% of all super yacht owners around the world faithfully return to those shores each year – to do what the ultra rich do – spend obscene amounts of money in the world’s most opulent playground.Continue
It’s a sultry day in late July and the sun is hot, sitting at its zenith in a cloudless sky. You sit high above the city enjoying a coffee, thankful for the cooling ocean breeze. Gazing down on the city below you catch yourself admiring the subtle curves and harmonious colors – the contrast of turquoise waters on light grey walls crowned with a sea of bright red roofs.
You can’t remember when the last time you were so relaxed, so taken by beauty.
Welcome to Dubrovnik… Continue
Have you ever wanted to know how European high society likes to party?
Why not see for yourself?
Throw on your best gown or put on your tux and dust off your dancing shoes.
It’s ball season in Vienna and you need to look your best!
Vienna is the capital and largest city in Austria. Inhabited since pre-roman times, Vienna has been a prominent city for most of its history, most notably as the seat of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It also has a rich musical heritage (Beethoven and Mozart) that gave birth to the pageantry of the Viennese Ball.
Today, this tradition is still strong with more than 450 significant Balls each year. The crux of them, however, take place during the Viennese Ball Season, starting in November and ending in February. For three months, some of the most opulent and garish events take place in a handful of Vienna’s most treasured venues.
La Dolce Vita was filmed in Rome yet nowhere in Italy is life more sweet than in Liguria. Renowned for its extraordinary landscapes, superlative food, and ease of life, Liguria is no less than a belle époque.
The only problem with coming here is knowing you have to leave…Continue
In some countries, food is a stylized art form.
In others, like those in the frozen north, it’s a matter of survival. This doesn’t mean a country like Sweden is without taste. On the contrary, it’s bursting with culinary innovation. When you only have a small harvest window, you need to be creative.
Without doubt, Sweden is a meat-and-potatoes culture, but the story does not end there. The smorgåsbord alone is a telling of the rich and diverse offering of the Swedish table.Continue
Home of the Blues and the spot where the King of Rock and Roll crafted his mansion, Graceland, Memphis has more than the average number of high notes.
Complementing the auditory pleasures of Memphis are the saliva inducing pork barbeques synonymous with the city.
Memphis will welcome you with a harmonica hum all year round, but you’d be mad to miss May in Memphis, the city’s month long extravaganza of food and music that will feed and soothe your soul.
If there were ever a place worth visiting for its food alone, it has to be New Orleans.
Perhaps it is the broad range of influences that make up the creole of tastes – French, Spanish, African, Italian, Native American, Cuban and Chinese, or perhaps the people of Louisiana have a pantry full of magic they sprinkle over their food in large doses.
Either way, most people are too busy lip-smacking and devouring large plates of steaming Louisianan fare to give it too much thought.Continue
It’s unquestionably the cultural capital of Brazil, and – while it lacks Rio de Janeiro’s scenic beauty – Sao Paulo more than compensates with over 15,000 bars, 12,000 restaurants and 110 world-class museums.
That’s a lot to see/do/eat/drink!
And rightfully so… there’s a lot of people here. Over 19 million live here, making Sao Paulo the largest city in the southern hemisphere. The restaurants are among the best in the world, and avant-garde art galleries and cultural centers make Sao Paulo one of Brazil’s most exciting and enjoyable destinations.
Below is a list of the most popular…Continue
Outlandish costumes of purple, gold and green, a city awash with beads and breasts, booze and Krewes. This can only mean one thing… Mardi Gras has arrived!
It’s what the city of New Orleans is known for. A celebration of hedonistic proportions which will leave a lasting memory for all those who participate.
At least what remains before you black out…Continue
Located inside a picturesque valley beset by three volcanoes, Antigua was once a colonial Spanish hub which rivaled Mexico City and Lima. While it may have lost some of its significance, one thing remains…
Its beauty.
Without a doubt, Antigua is one of – if not the - most beautiful colonial cities in Latin America. In addition to its picturesque surroundings, Antigua has since become an international hub of different sorts: a thriving ex-pat community where you can enjoy traditional Guatemalan comedor food – mostly consisting of beans, rice and eggs – for lunch, then head to its cosmopolitan downtown for a delicious array of Italian, French, Spanish and even Chinese cuisine.
If you’re into rich stews and sauces, hearty soups, sumptuous desserts and sweet white wines then you are in for a treat.

Those who have used overnight transportation may groan at the mere mention of sleeping in motion. Standard trains may provide plank-like beds for its customers. Bus riders should be so lucky.

The birthplace of Jimmy Hendrix and the hometown of the first Starbucks, Seattle has many claims to fame, and has an equal number of great sights to see.
