		<description><![CDATA[Nowadays, the internet is the source of instant information and this is especially true for travel news.  I forget how I found www.seat61.com but in no time, I was intrigued by the very detailed account of how to get from Bangkok to Butterworth, which is the railway station to get to Georgetown on Penang Island [...]

		<description><![CDATA[One of the great megalopolis of this world, Beijing never ceases to surprise me.  Even though the number of skyscrapers has easily quadrupled since the first time I visited in 1995, you can still find quiet corners where it seems as if time has stood still.  But believe me, it hasn’t.  Not here.

		<description><![CDATA[At the risk of stating the obvious, Sydney really is a beautiful city.  Wherever you turn, a panoramic view opens – of the harbour, a cove, a bay, an inlet, a beach, a bridge, a point, a head, a park, a dip, a summit feature, etc. etc. And from very many places –  a glimpse [...]

I had been told [...]
