I am not religious at all and hardly keen on examining temples and shrines, but this one
had me mystified. In a forest called the Dhungiri Van Vihar in the mountains of Manali,
there is an attractive pagoda style wooden temple of the demoness Hadimba, who, according
to Indian lore,...

In Shanghai I found a treasure trove of music and movie DVDs that I had been looking for
and what made it so great is that they were really cheap ~ 6 to10 Yuan each. The city is
dotted with these stores (not just restricted to near Times Square) which have tons and
tons of media, and...

Benrath is an unassuming, little town about 15 mins outside of Düsseldorf if you take the
efficient German bahn. It is known for its palaces and gardens and on a rainy day, as it
was when I got there, it looks lusher and greener and the wooded paths are rather
scenic. At the river...

Europe is roller-coaster heaven. Almost every major city has its own amusement park and a
great variety of rides. When my adrenaline started dropping, I decided to take a day at
Europa Park having heard much about its giant rides. From Freiberg I caught a Europa Park

The Z-trains running between Shanghai and Beijing are an experience. There are about five
trains each day between 1900 to 1930 hrs from each destination and the 12 hour journey is
covered in true luxury. The interiors are like a star hotel, super comfortable and plush,
carpeted and...

Hutongs are traditional Chinese alleyways of community living in courtyard residences. The
Beijing Hutongs are a cultural heritage listed on the sight-seeing map. People take
rickshaws and romanticize the poverty. As it happened, while I was in Beijing for two
days I stayed with an...

Chinese is a tough language to speak because depending on the intonation (rising, falling,
flat etc) one word can have up to five different meanings. Very few local people speak
English or other languages and what little engrish they do speak is most often their own
dialect. The best...

There has hopefully been a crackdown on this by now, but when I was in Beijing a couple of
years ago I had an unpleasant experience. While breaking some money, I was given a fake
100 Yuan note. Like a naïve tourist person (the best victim), I only realized much later
how different the...

Cologne is a pretty town – that’s what I gathered from exploring a 2 km-radius from
the main station (Hauptbahnhof). My timing was just right. I was there on a day trip and
just happened to stumble upon a beer festival in full swing at one of the cobbled squares.

There is such a thing as being over-adventurous. When I was passing through Beijing for a
couple of days, not only did I live in a hutong (ancient community housing), I also
decided to be the intrepid traveler and visit an obscure part of The Great Wall. There are
the better-known,...

A real retro pub – because of the music and the way it looks. The walls are like a retro
rock ‘n’ roll hall-of-fame with rare, psychedelic posters – Hendrix, Zappa, The
Beatles, Elvis, The Doors, Black Sabbath, Santana, Rainbow, Grateful Dead, Cream, Phish
and many more flower childs....

The first time I went to Casa’s and gave an order for Wienerschnitzel and fruit punch, I
was surprised at how quickly it arrived at my table. And very fulfilled at the end of the
meal which finished with Profiterole. This isn’t connoisseur gourmet, the menu is not
elaborate, but the...

The only ‘true’ heavy-metal/hard-rock pub in town. Lots of loud music, so leave your
conversation outside. On most evenings, Styx tends to get crowded with black T-shirts and
long-haired men as the DJ plays videos as well. It used to be easy to request songs, but
now the DJ booth is...
