Corner House is about the best place to get ice cream sundaes in Bangalore. The modest
shop has been around for years and I know almost all their sundaes like the 2-times-table.
Initially, the Hot Chocolate Fudge was a favourite, but then I started experimenting with
the other...

At first sight, the mountains were towering and unlike any landscape I had seen before
except that they were exactly reminiscent of some traditional Chinese paintings I had
seen. The mountains are outlandishly smooth, vertical rocky cliffs, some of them
standing almost like pillars...

What’s amazing is that the trekking route at Huangshan is actually steps carved or laid
all the way to the top. Fortunately, there wasn’t too much human traffic, except for a
good lot of labor running up and down carrying provisions (food, water, linen, kerosene
etc.) for the...

It took me about 5-6 hours, but I finally made it to the top where signs of civilization
and a growing population of noisy tourists wasn’t so welcoming. There are a few hotels
strewn about and it’s best to pre-book accommodation. From there various organized
trails are marked out to...

Having rightly woken up lazily the next morning, I stepped out of the hotel only to see
more tourists - hoards of them. The weekend had been the wrong time to get there.
Damn. Large tourist groups of camera wielding Koreans and Japanese led by guides blaring
into loud speakers...

It seemed as if half of the Oriental people had descended on Huangshan that day. At first
I was aghast at the number of people that crammed the narrow pathways, and everyone had
something to say. It was like a circus had come to town almost 1000ft above sea level. But
eventually, I...

If you’re wandering the streets of Vienna central, you’re most likely to come by the
impressive Hofburg Imperial Palace, which has housed some of the most powerful people in
Austrian history. I found it to be an attractive, elaborate structure, and in keeping with
the high standards...

Around the corner from the Brussels Palace one comes across the Modern Carillon clock on
the arch in the Mont des Arts. The clock dial mounted high on a wall is surrounded by
radiating gold metal rays like that of the sun. And all around it, in niches in the wall,
are various...

Karlskirche (Charles Church) is definitely one of the most elegant and picturesque
edifices I have ever come across. This beautiful baroque church was built in the 1700s and
both the exterior and interior of the church are tastefully ornate. I spent a late
afternoon sitting outside...

The Rathaus or townhall is in the heart of the city and a hub of cultural activity.
Besides being an architecturally beautiful building it, the square at which it sits is
always bustling with activity, especially by early evening and night. During the few days
that I was in Vienna,...

It poured like mad when I visited the palace. Funnily, I had just met with a big hoard of
travelers and we were all stuck at the far end of the grounds watching the overcast Vienna
skyline. I’m not so keen on visiting buildings, unless the architecture is something
spectacular, but in...

To get to the city centre, I usually took the efficient tram system and got off on
Ringstrasse near the Opera House. From there it was a pleasant walk any way I went. Just
by this tram stop I discovered a street vendor (most probably Turkish) who had the most
delectable fast food in...

I could never get tired of roller-coaster rides, so in every city I visited in Europe, I
hunted down the amusement park. In Vienna, it’s called Prater and was a little odd to
visit, because we went in the middle of the week and during the day, so there was hardly
anyone about, which...

“You see that balcony up there? This was where Hitler stood and gave his
speeches.” To have read and heard and seen so much about Hitler’s reign and his
effect on the world today, it gave me a little tingle to be standing were he must have
stood. There’s a statue in the same square,...

Havelock seems to be a rather popular destination for beach bumming in the islands. Since
it is well connected to the capital (Port Blair), the passage and transaction of
tourist-friendly products is much easier than for many of the other beaches, which, as a
result of not being so...

Mozart left us more than some classical pieces of musical genius. He left us a chocolate
in his name (Mozart Kugel). Extra points to him for feeding my addiction. The Mozart
chocolate is another trademark of Viennese tourism and is available at just about any
store. There are a few...

All across Europe, I came across shops selling rare old LPs for really cheap. Sometimes if
you pop your head around a corner you’ll see a board saying “LPs for 1 Euro” and if
you rummage about these second hand music stores you might find good, rare CDs as well for
really cheap....

Luxembourg is out of a fairytale – lush rolling meadows, streams, green hills and moors
and classic fairytale castles strewn about the country. And when we say country, we mean a
few km across. When I was passing through, I stayed with a nice hippie lady and her
three dogs in...

We didn’t find the fun fair at Hamburg, it found us. We had just a couple days passing
though the city, so we just generally caught the metro to random parts of town to look
about. When we got off at Heiligengeistfeld and saw the Ferris wheel lights, we had a
definite direction. This...

Not counting Frankfurt airport, Düsseldorf was the first German city I visited and
experienced. As expected, it was very different from India. The train station I arrived
at was very organized and filled with the aromas of good food from bakeries. Of course,
