Taipei (although many regard it as a small village) has a wealth of magnificent architecture throughout its history, from the 17th-century Kuantu Temple to the modern Taipei 101, and is an important centre for the export of tea today.

Have you been to the world's largest free-flight walk-in aviary? If not, you may want to pay a visit to KL Bird Park, which was opened in 1991, and is located within the serene and scenic Kuala Lumpur Lake Gardens, and is about 10 minutes away from the Kuala Lumpur city centre in Malaysia.
What I find about the main feature that distinguishes KL Bird Park from any other bird parks is the concept of their free-flight. Why I say so? Well, upon entering the door of KL Bird Park is as if we are stepping into an enormous bird cage, where visitors will have a chance to witness at close proximity with various bird species living together as a perfectly balanced community in this semi-natural environment!
This great city is the fast-beating heart of Vietnam. It is dynamic and industrious, serving as the country's economic and cultural focus, although it does not change much from those pre-Communist days.

Many have said that Bangkok is magical, but where exactly those interesting places?
Known as the Venice of Asia, Bangkok is also famous for its many canals, floating markets and of course the notorious traffic jams. Not to forget that the giant reclining statue of Buddha at the Wat Pho temple (a must see and should be on everyone’s Bangkok places of interest travel itinerary) is another landmark.
To visit those must see, let us start with the stunning majestic Thai-European architecture, i.e. Royal Grand Palace. My favorite things is to hire a longtail boat just before sunset and work my way upriver toward the Grand Palace to see it lit up at night. We can actually stop at Wat Arun or the Royal Barges on our way up during daylight provided they are still open, and wander the little canals on our way up and back. Next, head to Vimanmek Mansion Museum to feast our eyes on artefacts made from porcelain, silver and perhaps gold, or some rare finds raised from Thailand's ocean-bed. Take a boat tour down the canals that make up the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market.
Wanted a taste of Bangkok's bustling night life? I will walk down hip Kaosan Road. Like shopping? Believe shopholics will love Siam Square with its designer wear and bargain buys!
No worries about food and board, as they are not that expensive. In fact, food there is cheap and easily accessible from food carts and eateries. For example, the chain there like Anna's Café serves yummy Thai fare for less than US$2 per dish. For lodgings, Wood Lands Inn on Chareon Krung Road offers clean rooms at US$26 per twin room basis.
Another interesting fact we may want to know when visiting those interesting places in Bangkok is that Thais do eat with a fork and a spoon and not just with chopsticks, i.e. Thais used chopsticks when eating Chinese dishes.
Like the ideas of a fairytale Christmas for your family? How about indulge in festivities and fantasy in an enchanted royal splendor?
Well, understand that Hong Kong Disneyland is welcoming this coming Christmas with new attractions and shows, starting from November 28 to January 2, 2009. Many believe that all this will add to their Park’s breathtaking atmosphere, just look at the events below, you will agree with me.
Royal Christmas Ball – This all new glittering stage show will invite us to celebrate the festivities of the season. For instance, we will be greeted to behold a Disney royal pageantry of our favorite Characters, court dancers in luxurious costumes, and the chance to perform in a musical grandeur! Believe your children will like to see how Sleeping Beauty’s crown magically transforms Sleeping Beauty Castle to sparkle magnificently like thousands of shimmering diamonds!
Mickey’s Christmas House – Have fun meeting Mickey Mouse and explore his charming home. It was reported that weeks have been spent for decorating this Mickey’s Christmas House.
The “Let it Snow” Christmas Parade – Like the ideas of dance along with this high energy parade which brings with Yuletide cheer like no other? Guess your family will be very happy to join in the merriment with hundreds of dancers performing in a glittering procession with snow throughout the event. Many said that this is back due to popular demand.
Winter wonderland on Main Street USA – How about immerse with your loved ones in a picturesque Christmas, and have the chance to meet Santa, sip hot chocolate and listen to carolers sing for this sparkling and magical Christmas, while feel free to take in the beautifully decorated Christmas Tree or stroll amidst the frozen garlands and icicles, whichever you like!
Some say Christmas isn’t Christmas without a feast or two, if that is the case then head on to the Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel or Disney’s Hollywood Hotel for some mouth watering Christmas set menus. Whatever it is, don’t forget to bring along your camera and have a Christmas photo with Mr. Mickey!
Merry Christmas and Happy Coming New Year and do enjoy traveling to interesting places around the world!!!
