Road to Angkor Wat
Happy to greet 2013 crossing one more thing off my bucket list and that is seeing the historic, majestic Angkor Wat.There are many ways to see this ancient site: if you've got the extra budget, ride a helicopter (about $95) or a balloon (see photo). You can also go around the Bayon temple astride an elephant. A first-timer like me was better off hiring a tuk-tuk for $15. This was better than joining a group or opting for a tourist bus, in my opinion. At least you can explore the temples at your own leisure without waiting for other people. You can also tell ...

Travel time is two hours 45 minutes. The flights ... Continue Reading...

Somehow, it gives me an idea how people are living in faraway places like Paris, Morocco and San Francisco. It turns out the Philippines is now one of Airbnb's growing markets with 400 per cent growth year-over-year in the Philippines in 2012.According to the web company's co-founder and Chief Technology Officer Nathan Blecharczyk : “Manila is a growing travel destination, and people from the Philippines are traveling abroad at increasing rates, so ...
