Hotels in Australia

Written by cd on July 31, 2007 – 5:43 am -

Sydney is considered as the No 1 city of Australia, based on its population, its importance in Australia’s politics and economy, as well as all the funs and noises.  It boasts beautiful sceneries, the
Opera House, Darling Harbour Bridge, the romantic setting of the Darling Harbour itself, plus all the famous beaches like Manly, Bondi. The city of Sydney it self is a heaven on earth for many. To shopping enthusiast, there are many stores around.  The price range could be anything depends on where you decide to pop in. You can find last-minute deals for hotel in Sydney for as low as 40 AUD.  Most of the year, the city is with pleasant and warm weather.  Get around the city is a piece of cake, since the network of
train, bus, ferry here is quite marvelous.

Melbourne is the 2nd most important city of Australia.To many, Melbourne is a better place to unwind, because of its peaceful spread-out setting, with fewer people, less noise, bigger streets and fresher air. Get around Melbourne is easy, with its system of train, bus, tram service, which use the same ticket, or one could just take a pleasant walk to get around to all the interesting place: Southgates; Federation Square; Art Gallery; Rialto Towers and Collins-Burke-Elizabeth-Swanton Streets, where many stores and restaurants line up).  Melbourne is also famous for its many “international” restaurants, where you can eat the best food for a very reasonable price.  Everything seems to be cheaper in Melbourne,from eating out to the price of groceries! However, I found it very interesting that  the  lowest price I find for a 3-star hotel in Melbourne starts from 50 AUD.

Brisbane
may be considered as the third “biggest” city of Australia; however to surfers and warm climate lovers, Brisbane is the best.  Here, you can walk along the beach, enjoy the sea in their own way, then later relaxing at any close by restaurants. Big and small stores are around too, so you can just hop in to buy anything one required, be it groceries or expensive party outfits. However, hotel in Brisbane can be a little bit more expensive than Sydney and Melbourne, perhaps due to more competition in these sister cities.

Accommodations and hotels can be booked quite easily, provided you have their phone numbers and your own credit card details ready.

Travel Asia Blog

Written by cd on July 29, 2007 – 10:06 am -

Last week, my co-worker and I discussed about possible travel destination in Asia. This man wanted adventures, going to weird places and eating “ew!” food.

For example, do you know what Chinese eat in Guangzhou, a coastal city near Hong Kong and Macau? If you watch the American reality show “Fear Factor,” you will see contestants eating “nasty” exotic cuisine: chicken feet, worms, cow testicles, monkey brain and deer penis to name a few. If these show contestants spit, puke and faint for having to eat these “disgusting” things, Chinese and other Asians chow down these specialties as their regular diets.

How about one of the new 7 Wonders of the World, Taj Mahal. Asia Hotel’s blog shares with you the scoop about this architectural masterpiece from India, a life work of a romantic emperor whose love for his beloved wife is was beyond words.

Jan Hus’ Days

Written by cd on July 6, 2007 – 4:02 pm -

July 5 and 6 are Jan Hus’ days as this founder of the Hussites movement was burned at the stake in Konstance, Germany. He was tricked by the Catholic Church to come out of his hiding and travel to there.

Many remember Martin Luther, the German Church reformer for starting the chain of events leading to the establishment of Protestantism in Europe. However it was Jan Hus and his teach which inspired the great German Martin Luther.

Jan Hus’ status is located in the middle of the Old Town’s Square. Ironically, surrounding him are Catholic figures.

Amazing picture. I visited the cathedral twice but apparently missed this window.
