Some Trics About Ordering Good
Hotel Room in a Hotel Good for You
A serious hotel chain or travel broker will tell you about most important properties of a hotel, its surroundings and its rooms. Still something might be left out of the description that can be important for you. Before you hire a hotel room, you should look after details that are left out, and ask yourself what it means for you if these details are not optimal. Here are some examples:
- Does the hotel show pictures of the rooms, including the bathrooms? If not, or if the pictures do not show details very well, the rooms or the connected bathrooms may be of a minor standard. This may be all right for a cheap hotel place. If the hotel is expensive, you probably will get less than what you pay for by ordering rooms in that hotel.
- Is there traffic or construction work noise comming into the room you want to book? If you cannot find anything telling you, it probably is. If it is important for you to have a quiet room, find another room or another hotel.
- How do the surroundings look. If there is no picture telling you about all the surroundings at a good circumference, or if the pictures only show the surroundings very close to the hotel building, you can be sure that the surroundings are dull or ugly. This might not be important for you, but if it is, find some other place.
- Does the hotel have a great discoteque, dancing scene or concert locality in its own building or the near surroundings. If you like to be up dancing and partying in the nights, this may be exactly the place you look for. If not, find a place without these facilities, because they will certainly disturb your night sleep.
- Are there pictures of all the facilities in the hotel? If not some of the facilities probably are of minor standard. This may be all right for a chep hotel, but not if you pay a high prize.
- If the hotel description tells that a beach or other outdoor facility is in the neighbourhood, is there any picture of these facilities. If not they probably are of a minor standard. If a fine beach or outdoor scenery is important for you to have at a close distance, you should then find another hotel.
The Dolomites -
Italy's Limestone Rooftop
By
Michael Russell 
If you have never been in the eastern Alpine area of northern Italy called the Dolomites, then now is the time to pull out your trusty Michelin maps of the area and look for Bolzano (Bozen for the German speaking inhabitants). A short distance on the map to the east is Cortina d'Ampezzo; almost due north is Innsbruck. This is where the mountains are called the Dolomites.
This part of Italy was fought over many times and ruled by a variety of entities, empires and republics; Germans, Austrians, Hungarians and eventually the Italians themselves, as it is today. The biggest influence over the last few centuries has been Austria and Germany, with the result that most everyone here speaks German and many wish they were still part of either Austria or Germany. The Tirol is the western part of Austria, but the town itself is across the border in Italy. The signs are usually in Italian and German and when you approach a local, they will begin in German, then switching to Italian.
Be forewarned, it is one of the most expensive regions in Italy. It has excellent activity-oriented tourist offices, lifts, well maintained trails together with a very good bus system that invites tourists from all over. As a result, in most towns doubles in hotels run 100 Euros at a minimum, B&Bs about 70 Euros, with few alternatives. There is a short tourist season - mid July to late September - so they have to make their year's income in two months.
The best way to tour this area, is by bus, in fact some of areas are only accessible by bus. Start from Venice and get your bus tickets to Cortina, then travel west to Bolzano. That's the short description. Actually there is a route called the Great Dolomite Road. North of Venice there is a town called Belluno, from there north through tunnels and narrow passes to Cortina, then west through two passes, the Pordoi and Sella passes, then through the Val di Fassa to Bolzano.
You can take the easy and short tour by taking the cable car into the hills above Bolzano to the quintessential tourist town of Oberbozan. But if you have the time, take the bus - up from Venice or east across from Bolzano to Cortina, it's well worth it.
In season, the Dolomites bask in the sun almost every day. Bolzano looks like Innsbruck but with much more sun. It's not a big city, only 100,000 or so but certainly has all the amenities you would expect of a much larger city. It has a great open-air market on the Piazza Erbe and has an excellent tourist information centre to get up to speed on this entire area of Italy. Ask them about the 5,000-year-old Ice Man found frozen with his gear a few years ago.
The two most famous Dolomite ski areas are Val di Fassa and Val Gardenna. Between these two valleys, there is Europe's highest and largest alpine meadow, the Alpe di Siusi. The meadow is five by 12 kilometers and is 2000 meters above sea level. It has a few scattered farm huts, loads of alpine wildflowers and is virtually car-free. There is a vary good view of Mount Schlern, a mountain that made middle age peasants think the entire meadow was bewitched and left it vacant for centuries. If you let your imagination run a little wild, Mount Schlern from the meadow top does look like a bat with its wings spread out or a witch with her cape spread wide over her shoulders. If your own broomstick isn't up to flying to the top, there are buses to access the meadow and a couple of chair lifts.
A good base of operations for the area between Bolzano and Cortina is the town of Castelrotto, Kastleruth if your Michelin maps are German in origin. With a population of about 5,000, it has some very nice reasonably priced little hotels and the people here are the friendliest in the Dolomites. Castelrotto has more of that special Italian village charm than anywhere else in this region. It also has very good bus connections in every direction in case you must leave.
During its short summer tourist season, the Dolomites can be crowded and expensive, but it's a part of Italy that you should not miss if you have the time and can afford it.

Top 10 Places to Visit in South East Asia
By Matthew Coe
1) Donsol, Philippines
In this little town in southern Luzon just off the coast in a spot where Whale
Sharks - the largest fish in the sea come to feed. From here you can go out
for a day with a boat and swim with the sharks. As they only feed on plankton
they swim close to the surface and swim fairly slowly so you are able to keep
up with them. You are only allowed to snorkel with the sharks but it is just
an amazing experience to be so close to a shark of this size.
2) Bukit
Lawang, Sumatra, Indonesia
In this town in northern Sumatra there is miles of forest which is inhabited
with many orangutans, the treks here are great with some of the best guides I
have ever used. After only 4 hours into the trek I had seen 8 orangutans and
that included a 6 month old baby one.
3) Angkor Wat, Cambodia
The site of Angkor in Cambodia is a must on anyone's trip to South East Asia.
Angkor Way is the largest temple in the world and seeing the sunrise over it
is just a view you cannot view anywhere else in this world. You can spend so
much time here looking and the vast amount of temples here and never get bored.
4) Full moon party, Koh Pan gan, Thailand
The legendary full moon party has been going on for years starting with only a
few people now with a minimum of 10,000 people a month. This party is just a
rite of passage for anyone who comes to Thailand to travel. You meet up with
so many people and dance the till morning.
5) Motorbike tour round Vietnam
Riding your own motorbike (or if you can't you can hire a driver) round
Vietnam going to villages and towns where no tourists go is one of the
highlights of this trip. Do the tour to Dalat on the scenic roads for a truly
spectacular view which you can only find in Vietnam.
6) Palawan, Philippines
This Island which is the South West of the Philippines is a hidden gem of all
of South East Asia. At any point you will not find more than 50 backpackers on
the island and it's a large island. The locals are the friendliest I have ever
met and the beaches are I think the best in the world. Image a cross between
the islands around Krabi, Thailand and mix it with Ha Long bay, Vietnam and
this makes the coast line of the town of El Nido. There is some of the best
diving and snorkeling to be done at the many coral reefs off the many white
sand beaches or swim in lagoons with tiny sharks or just relax and soak up the
sun. Also the island has the one of the longest underground rivers in the
world.
7) Ha Long Bay, Vietnam
This is a must for anyone in the area as it is UNESCO heritage site and is for
a good reason. The bay has close to 2000 limestone islands with of caves to
explore and a few lagoons to go kayaking in. When you go out to the bay you go
out on a traditional junk ship where you will get your own room and dinner and
breakfast served.
8) Vang Vieng, Laos
The town where you leave remembering nothing. This place is just one big
drunken haze. You get a tractor inner tube and float down a river and stop off
at bars on route and get free shots of lao lao whiskey and then drink buckets
of more lao lao whiskey and coke until 6pm then when you think you have enough
you go over to an island which is just bars (smile is the best) until
middnight when the curfew kicks in. Try the rope swings at each of the bars.
The first bar has the biggest whatever other bars may claim.
9) Gili Islands, Indonesia
The Gilis is made up of three islands, with Gili Trawangan the biggest of all.
When I say big it will take you ten minutes to walk the entire length of the
main beach. There are no cars on this these islands with only horse and cart
to get you around. You come here to relax on the beaches and go diving with
sharks and manta ray at some on the best site on Earth.
10) Hoi An, Vietnam
Hoi An is located on the coast and has a pretty decent beach. It is the also
the place to come for tailor-made clothes. There are too many tailors to
mention here with the main road pretty much consisting of them. You can get
literally anything made here all you need to do is take a photo of the item
you want and they will make it for you. A good quality suit will cost around
$50-$100.
