The seaside promenade

posted by travelbob on 25 March 2009 at 19:39

This seaside promenade has one of the best shopping experiences of Cyprus. The old historic house and roads are very pleasant to walk through while you shop for authentic Greek/Turkish/Cypriot souvenirs. Also a lot of small restaurants and bars are found on this promenade making this a good area to shop and relax, in the daytime and night time!

This is the biggest aquarium in the world, at least that is what they say. There are a huge amount of fish and sharks in the aquarium present. It is located in the middle of the Dubai Mall. In the basin there are more then 30000 species of sea life. It is not open for diving. ;-)

where, when, how, web
Dubai Mall, next to the Burj Dubai. You cannot miss that building. :-)

Mysore

posted by srik on 9 March 2009 at 16:16

Mysore is a little touristy, yet sleepy town, a mere 140 kms from the hotspot called Bangalore. Hire a car from Bangalore. Leave Bangalore before the crack of dawn and you can enjoy Mysore in a day and return back to your hotel. While in Mysore, do visit the Mysore palace and the little known Karanji kere (lake) while most people flock to the zoo. Shop for some original sandalwood handicrafts at the Government emporium (remember, it closes at 5pm). And on you way back, make a stop over at the Janapada Loka (about 40 km from Bangalore)

where, when, how, web
Mysore is 140km to the south-west of Bangalore. Buses leave for Mysore from Bangalore every 15 mins. You can also hire a taxi from Bangalore. You also have the option of taking a train. Journey time is typically between 2 and 3 hours.

Central Market - largest in the Baltic!

posted by fhice on 17 September 2008 at 16:53

We found great bargains at the Central Market. It's the largest market in the Baltic and located in the strange semi-cylindrical buildings near the bus station - they're converted Zeppelin hangars. They sell food produce but even if you're not buying it's a lively place to visit.

where, when, how, web
You'll see it when you leave the central bus station.

Khao San Road

posted by phaines on 13 June 2008 at 10:01

This street has it all and is the centre of the backpacker scene. There are lots of guest houses, street sellers and nightlife. We spent most of our two days in Bangkok on this one road. There are also more upmarket hotels, but we didn't try them.

where, when, how, web
Ask someone - all taxi and tuk tuk drivers know where it is.
