One thing many travellers who come down under to Australia like to do is to hire a car and drive. And why not? There’s an awful lot of roads here – the Number ‘1’ highway is mostly coastal road around the whole country which goes for a total of 14,500 km. That’s a fairly long …
Westeros is a land of many variables and different climates. It’s certainly a great land of citadels and castles, such as Casterly Rock and the serene Highgarden. But perhaps the two places with the biggest differences are the capital. King’s Landing, and the main town of the north, Winterfell. I know what you’re going to …

There are four main theme parks on the Gold Coast – Dream World, Sea World, Wet N’ Wild and Warner Brother’s Movie World. Each have their own niche – Sea World is, you know, ocean based, Wet N’ Wild is a water theme park where, you know, you’re on slides and such, Dream World is …

Howdy all. Today we have Tim Blight from urbanduniya.com doing a guest post. And he's taking to us IRAQ! Last year Tim visited Iraq in October, and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to ask him to write about it!
