Pacific Holidays Offers Islands Of The
Philippines 9-Night Vacation Package Starting At $2,480 Per Person

post from Philippines Travel Blog on 30 August 2007 09:21:24 PM. © Philippines Travel Blog

Due to its rich and complex history, the Philippines is a melting pot of cultures much like the U.S., and the third largest English speaking nation in the world. An early trading history with China and Japan, as well as Spanish colonization and American influence, has created a cross-breeding of cultures and resulted in a [...]

Tube ban Heelys

post from Going Underground's Blog on 30 August 2007 06:31:00 PM. © Going Underground's Blog

London Underground have been carrying out some selective footwear banning, as Balham Tube station have banished the kids' wheel-bottomed trainers from their platforms.

I can only imagine that Balham has problems with hoardes of kids zooming around. The sign at Balham doesn't explain exactly why they're banned, but Transport for London said they came to the decision after comments from commuters and because more children had used the station during the holidays.

A TfL spokeswoman has remained tight lipped about whether or not the ban would be imposed at other stations.

Los Angeles: Top Picks: Patric Kuh's Outsidery
Insider LA

post from Gridskipper on 30 August 2007 04:40:36 PM. © Gridskipper

Patric Kuh, food critic for Los Angeles magazine, was recently part of a minor foodie hubbub when he acted as tour guide one night for Michael Bauer, executive food editor at the San Francisco Chronicle, while Bauer was in town doing an LA restaurant roundup. Bauer chose to eat at upscale, celeb-friendly places that, while good, do not constitute the soul of LA dining. (The soul is found in strip malls in quiet neighborhoods.) Many blamed Kuh (perhaps unfairly) for leading Bauer astray, so my first thought was that Kuh's Insider's Guide to LA for Conde Nast Traveler was a sort make-up test. But it's not. It's certainly a guide, and even a good one. But is it insider? No, not especially.

Berlin: Literary Evils in Berlin

Starting Monday (September 3), Berlin will be crawling with a host of internationally known writers and their jaded sycophants. Vulnerable youth are encouraged to remain indoors to avoid coming into contact with the corrupt ideas and suspect morals of this band of ragtag intellectuals and loose-lipped novelists. The occasion for this onslaught? Berlin's Seventh Annual International Literature Festival. At over 200 events in 13 days, the troublemakers will spew their fantasies and fallacies upon hysterical audiences, hypnotizing victims with literary star appeal. Well known ne'er-do-wells from overseas including Wole Soyinka, Chuck Palahniuk, Isabel Allende, and Mario Vargas Llosa will join forces with local badboys such as Wladimir Kaminer and Wolf Biermann to agitate and aggravate the populace. Special focus this year is the literature of Latin America, and the region's younger writers arrive in Berlin intending "to combine journalism and literature ... taking the dark chapters of recent history as important issues." Obvious hooliganism! To avoid running into any of these shady alphanumeric characters in a darkened alleyway, lock the doors and windows, tuck the children safely into bed, and for God's sake don't go near any of the following venues for the next two weeks.

Sydney: Beachless & Boothless Tanning in Sydney

beachless%20boothless%20tanning%20sydney.jpg As the first signs of Australian spring appear in the form of slightly balmy, fresh-scented mornings and smiles on the faces of those who hadn't lifted their heads in months, it's time to consider revealing those pasty limbs. It'll do you no good to hit the beach and pretend it's summer -- that'd just be getting carried away, but at the same time, it won't do to expose your lily-white legs to unassuming passers by. So it's time to find a spot in the sun before it morphs into the burning summer variety, and breathe some color into that wintry flesh, without requiring you to de-robe entirely or patronize a bronzing booth. Here are a few random ideas for easing back into tan.
