Wonderful picture and really moving words. Sort of sums up Hanoi really as well as a lot of other locations around South East Asia.

You can really tell that the writer had a close connection with the surroundings. Will look forward to the next one.

Looks like heaven, its torture looking at a picture like that while sitting in a dingy office. Makes me think about my next vacation!

The water looks pretty deep or is that just an illusion caused by the recent storm? Either way looks amazing…..really want to take a running jump off the end of that platform!

Comment on A new SPG credit card for Canadians forthcoming! by Social

Social — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 08:16:37 +0000

Looking forward to seeing the details of this card. The old SPG MasterCard was extremely useful while travelling and the air miles were very handy.

I just hope the new card has all the benefits that the old one did and if it’s going to cost more I hope there are some improvements.

We will see.

Comment on HP Mini 110—a netbook for the road by Social

I can honestly say it would have been fantastic to have this little bad boy with me on my travels but I think from my point of view it may have been a bit of a headache not only carrying the extra weight but also the chance that it may get stolen.

On the flip side it would have been great for emails and keeping in touch with relatives. I presume if you are travelling with a ‘netbook’ then you would do thinks a little differently!

Love the style and design and have always been a fan of HP products.

Comment on MBNA SPG MasterCard Discontinued! by Social

Social — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 08:08:21 +0000

Interesting article but I am still none the wiser as to why they have discontinued the card. Seemed like a great idea to me and if people are still spending then it’s even more of a mystery.

Well at least it’s a chance for other banks and corporations to come up with a new and even better card.

Wow, lots of info and other reviews here! I’m just getting going with setting it up and good to see so many other names I recognize who’ve already checked it out. Seems like it may be a bit tough to find somewhere till you get people willing to try someone new and can get a few reviews for yourself.

Don’t plan to use it too often. Mainly for a couple nights when I’ll be somewhere a week already to meet some locals or at least be able to ideas for what to do outside of the guidebooks.

Great article with some really interesting links. I especially like the Elephanta piece about the Hindu caves. Will be sure to add that to the list of things to see.

Also love the term flashpackers! It’s the first time I have heard this word and is so appropriate. Reminds me of my days as a traveler when some people would always seem to have money despite wearing no shoes. Then you would walk past them as they enjoyed dinner at an expensive restaurant. Strange!

Good work Daniel, keep them coming.

Thanks Daniel for a really interesting article. I am pretty new to the term Couchsurfing but must admit to liking the idea a lot. As for the safety issues I agree that doing it alone would be a little riskier (depending on the person) but all in all if you are travelling with a friend it would be a great way to save a few bucks.

Also really impressed with the Couchsurfing website, especially the forum area. Addicted now……not a very productive day today me thinks!

Comment on World Hum and Brave New Traveler Compared by Social

Social — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 04:16:09 +0000

Both sites look pretty interesting and only time will tell which one I will prefer. I really like articles such as the ‘The 5 Deadliest Travel Fears’ and ‘25 Ways To Earn Money When You’re Broke On The Road’ as they are both entertaining and educational.

After spending no more than 15 mins on each site I would say that ‘Brave New Traveler’ got my attention the most although I will be checking back to visit both sites periodically.

I remember Langkawi as a peaceful, happy place. Very mellow. We rented a car and drove around the Island. So much to do – I remember hiking up to see this massive waterfall and being surrounded by little monkeys (who had no fear of humans) and visiting the location where they filmed ‘Anna and the King’. Had such a great time…want to go back…

Comment on Snap de la semaine: Temple of the Reclining Buddha by Mr Samui

Mr Samui — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 09:40:32 +0000

Wat Pho is one of my favourite places to visit in Bangkok, not just for the famous reclining Buddha, but also for the picturesque surrounding temples and lighthouses. It’s hard to believe that just outside of the walls of this peaceful sanctuary is the hustle and bustle of Bangkok, home to 64 million people. Another place not to be missed is the Bangkok Grand Palace. Both places offer plenty of intricate architectural subjects to be photographed.
