Howdy folks. As Christmas draws nearer different events pop up around the place which are, how can I say, ‘thematically linked’? Santa’s Magical Kingdom is one here in Melbourne which I went to a week or so ago. It continues on for weeks yet, so you haven’t missed it! Which may or may not be …

Wham bam thankyou Mam! Tokyo is a city with everything. It’s an incredible combination of skyscrapers, neon lights, parks and shrines, salary men and cosplayers in the Harajuku area. It has Maid Cafes, a Robot Restaurant (still to visit for me!), two Disney theme parks, a tower, a Skytree, and incredible metro system, brilliant museums, …
Actually, this is a tale of two cities rather than one versus the other. But it seemed to fit along the lines of a City Rumble in my head. Islamabad is the somewhat modern capital of Pakistan, and so close they basically kiss each other is the much older city of Rawalpindi. Islamabad was built …

No – it wasn’t me, not up in the air, but it was a sight I remember from a year or so ago now fondly. Standing in a flashy shopping centre on top of high cliffs, the ocean crashing into them below, to look up and see the gliders float in was unexpected, and somehow …

Perhaps one of the most interesting places that I found when I visited Buenos Aires was the incredible Palacio Barolo, a 22-floor building mostly in white completed in 1923 when Argentina was living in a booming economy. At the time, and for the next 13 years, it was the tallest building in Buenos Aires at …
I probably wasn't going to do a 'Through My Lens' on Lima. From memory, that of a year ago, it didn't stand out as one of the most amazing places I'd visited visually. But then I looked through the photos I took and I thought 'gees there's such contrasts, interesting buildings, architecture, and more'. So …
Howdy all. This one is probably just relevant for those living in Australia, but today I want to discuss the different ways there are to earn Frequent Flyer points, mostly focusing on the ways I have earnt points myself. I belong, I think I’ve said last week, to a few frequent flyer programs, and the …
A new segment for the blog, something a little different from Sunday Spotlight which has focused on the main in smaller places, now I’m going to turn my attention to the larger cities, capital cities across the world – or large cities in general. And today I’m starting with the Austrian capital, a city that …
