I mentioned this pineapple beer in one of my posts and thought I should let you know how it was. It was actually surprisingly good. Okay, so it tasted kind of watered down (it's only 1.25%vol) but the flavor wasn't bad at all. In fact, being a bit watery only made it that much more refreshing on a hot day. At 25 cents a can, one of these is a great way to cool off after walking around in ... (read more about Yinpuboluozhipi (Pineapple) Beer)

The Minaret of Jam is the second highest minaret in the world. Standing proudly at 65 meters, it is surpassed only by the Qutb Minaret in Delhi, India. Its 9 meter wide octagonal base transitions to a beautiful cylindrical tower that narrows toward the top. Built as a victory monument in AD 1194, it is one of the most important examples of early Islamic architecture. The minaret of Jam was bui... (read more about Minaret of Jam)

Hi there kids! I'm a local Pinay girl who's out to clarify all the stereotypes placed on Filipina women and Asian women in general. SEXUAL EQUALITY ---------------- As you must've read in many a travel book, sexual equality is more pronounced in the Philippines than most other Asian countries. And while this is true, we, Filipinas don't just go out of our homes in bikinis...waiting to d... (read more about Filipina Women Stereotypes - beware!)

I spent a few hours this afternoon at the Assistens Cemetary in Copenhagen. It's just a few minutes from where I live, and I often go there to get a bit "away" from the city - it is a very popular place for people to take a walk, look at the old graves and monuments (many fun among) - or to have a picnic. Many famous people from Denmark are buried at the cemetary - writer Hans Christian Anderse... (read more about Assistens Cemetary)

This relatively little known scenic area of the Colorado plateau is well worth the time to see, even if you only drive the approximately 20 miles Rim Rock Drive. I wouldn't have known about it until a close friend told me about it. His recommendation proved to be well worth while. The sandstone cliffs are full of color and wonderful formations. There are a small number of camp spots availab... (read more about Colorado National Monument)

The observation deck at Sears Tower is something that should be seen by any visitor to Chicago. The building itself is 110 stories, I believe the observation deck is on floor 103. The whole floor is an open room, with wall-size windows offering a panoramic view of the city in all directions. The views are terrific! You can see the Chicago River, Lake Michigan, Navy Pier, Soldier Field, and eve... (read more about Sears Tower)

Guppy is a unique establishment that serves gigantic shaved ice creations flavored with condensed milk and topped with fresh fruits and other delicacies. It doesn't sound like too much, but the combination really hits the spot on a hot day if you are in the mood for a cold and satisfying snack. The cafe/restaurant is also pretty cool. It is colorfully decorated, and there are fish tanks everywh... (read more about Guppy)
