Top Noosa Holiday Accommodation

November 2nd, 2007 by E Cho

NoosaNoosa represents the best of Australia – sand, sea and sun plus a whole lot more. It is hardly surprising that this is an immensely popular holiday destination found at the mouth of the Noosa River

Just 1.5 hours drive north of Brisbane on the aptly named Sunshine Coast, Noosa captures a wonderful mix of macho activity-based entertainment with rather more sedate creative outpourings from the local artistic community. The end result is a fashionable perhaps even exclusive all year round destination with a long list of ‘to-dos’ that will keep even the most demanding holiday maker occupied. Throw in an outstanding eclectic mix of restaurants and bars and it’s hard not to enjoy Noosa. Read the rest of this entry »

How To Overcome Con Artists in Asia

September 17th, 2007 by E Cho

The best way to overcome con artists anywhere in the world is to use common sense. Don’t be afraid to go with your instincts when placed in an odd or even uncomfortable situation. Another solution is to try not to appear so naively “touristy” – that can be difficult in a foreign locale, but casually strolling about in a far-off metropolis with expensive jewelry dangling from your wrist is equivalent to putting a bull’s-eye on your back. Leave the diamond tennis bracelet at home and keep your expensive digital cameras tightly secured. There are plenty of con artists out there who make a living by picking tourists out of a crowd and preying on them with their tried and true methods.

September 12th, 2007 by E Cho

In America, first-class airline service has little more meaning than a perk for frequent travelers.

Best Beaches in Asia

September 10th, 2007 by E Cho

Selecting the best beach really depends upon personal criteria. For me, I’m considering the natural beauty of the area, pristine qualities, agreeable weather, and sparse crowds. The last qualification is most difficult to find as just about every good beach on the planet has been developed extensively.
