			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While Macau is mostly known as &#8220;the Vegas of the orient&#8221;, and an increasing number of tourists flock in droves to its gaudy and ostentatious casinos, it&#8217;s important to remember that the city also has a special &#8220;culinary attraction&#8221;: That is the unique Macanese cuisine which developed during hundreds of years of Portuguese colonialism, and combines the classics of Portuguese cooking, with Chinese influences. Those are the best restaurants in Macau, where you can enjoy fabulous Macanese and Portuguese food.</p>
<p>    * A Lorcha, near A-Ma Temple and Macau Maritime Museum, is one of Macau&#8217;s most notable culinary icons, serving what is described by many as the &#8220;best Portuguese food outside Portugal&#8221;&#8230; With nice and simple Portuguese decor, and friendly staff, this relatively small restaurant renders a somewhat homey ambience and, most importantly, some outstandingly delicious Portuguese-Macanese food, both seafood and meat&#8230; Among the signature dishes you can find names like Chourico assado (char-grilled Portuguese chorizo), Bacalhau com natas (bacalhau with potato in cream sauce) and Pan-fried clams with garlic, just to name a few&#8230; Don&#8217;t be afraid to order something new, there is very little chance for you to go wrong.<br />
    * Restaurante Fernando (or Fernando&#8217;s as it is more commonly known) is another one of Macau&#8217;s gastronomic emblems. Nestled on Coloane Island&#8217;s Hac sa Beach, one of Macau&#8217;s greenest and most peaceful corners, Fernando features a rustic-homey ambience that contributes a lot to the lovely dining experience, with simple bamboo furniture and an exquisite alfresco dining area, covered with shrubs&#8230; Portuguese style BBQs (both meat and seafood) are Fernando&#8217;s main draw, and so is the freshly baked Portuguese bread, but frankly speaking, everything on the menu is good! Next to the restaurant, there is a nice outdoor bar where you can have a drink before or after dinner&#8230; And here is a small tip: Try to avoid weekends, as Fernando&#8217;s don&#8217;t accept early bookings and the restaurant can get jam packed&#8230;<br />
    * For a sumptuous and atmospheric dinner that revives the charm of colonial Macau, very few restaurants can compete with Clube Militar. Occupying a neo-classical 1870s building that once housed a club for colonial army officers, right next to the legendary Lisboa, Clube Militar features an uber-elegant decor, with polished wood floor and crisp-white tablecloths&#8230; Portuguese classics dominate the menu and during lunch they serve a buffet, so you can try different things&#8230;<br />
    * Fat Siu Lau: Tucked on picturesque Rua de Felicidade, just a short stroll from Senado square, this is possibly Macau&#8217;s oldest existing restaurant, with an impressive record of more than 100 years&#8230; Homey and unpretentious Macanese cuisine is what this restaurant is all about, and their good-old favorites, like Roasted Pigeon and African Chicken attract customers from far and wide&#8230;<br />
    * Amagao: Serving what some gourmands consider to be the best Portuguese-Macanese food in Macau, this lilliput-size &#8220;private-kitchen&#8221; is probably one of Taipa Island&#8217;s best kept secrets&#8230; Tucked in a small lane, just a minute walk from Taipa Village&#8217;s main street, Rua Cunha, it is open only for dinner and you must book well in advance if you want to get a table&#8230; Moreover, you have to discuss your dinner with the chef-owner, as he buys the fresh ingredients especially for you&#8230; Chicken specialties are the main thing here, particularly the Galinha à Portuguesa (Portuguese style chicken), but everything else is just as good&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thailand means the land of the free which lies in the heart of Southeast Asia. It is one of the most beautiful places in the world and one can only experience the exotic beauty of the place when you get there. The fresh air kissing your face when you walk on the beach, the mouth watering dishes and the rush and madness in the market is something you will perhaps not get to see anywhere else.</p>
<p>Thailand&#8217;s geographical region is divided into four parts: </p>
<p>The mountains and forests are in the north. You can find fascinating handicrafts and multicolored orchids.</p>
<p>The central part where you will find paddy field, farms and all kinds of fruits.</p>
<p>The northeast plateau is famous for its rich archaeological and anthropological heritage.</p>
<p>You will find tropical islands in the southern peninsula. The people on this place are involved in fishing, rubber cultivation and tin mining.</p>
<p>The people of Thailand are very friendly and hospitable. This place is rich in monumental heritage and famous for its beaches. Thailand is an ideal holiday destination for all, from those who are looking for a romantic holiday, to shoppers to the food lovers as you get to taste varieties of sea food, down in the street to the most expensive restaurants. It offers something to every traveler.</p>
<p>Many travelers also come here for adventurous holiday. As this place offer all kinds of sport for all ages like scuba diving, snorkeling, wind-surfing and water-skiing. After all these activities you can simply relax by lounging on the beautiful beach sipping your favorite drink with a good company.</p>
<p>Bangkok is the capital of Thailand. Bankok means &#8220;city of angels&#8221;, it is a small Thailand in itself. It is the centre of commercial, industrial and cultural activities. If you are looking for peace and simplicity you can visit the Buddhist temples and the amazing part is it stands by side by side with nightclubs and café. You can see monks walking in their red robes all over the place and one can only wonder how they can attain such peacefulness in this rush and hectic world.</p>
<p>Another main attraction in Thailand is Phuket known for its exotic island. The nightlife there is lively with its multicuisine restaurants and bars always filled with tourists. But of course if are looking for a quite meal you can do that by going to the right place.</p>
<p>Chiang Mai is another place which is a combination of modern city life and the old village charm. There are elaborate temples and cultural relics some of which are very old close to 700 years. On the top of the mountain is Doi Suthep monastery which overlooks the fertile valley embracing Chiang Mai.The local night bazaar is the favorite shopping place for tourists where you can get hand made local stuff, tribal wears and also latest modern junks for a good bargain.</p>
<p>You will have no problem communicating as most of the hotels, restaurants and tourist places speak English and other European languages. There are various modes of transportation. You can either hire a taxi to go around the city, or take the city bus .There is also something called Tuk-Tuk, a three wheeler. You would definitely enjoy the open air ride on this three wheeler and for longer destinations there are trains always running to all the places.</p>
<p>Thailand is blessed with three seasons &#8211; summers from February to May, Rainy season from June to October with plenty of sunshine and the cold season from November to January. A lot of people go for holidays in Thailand during December and January as it is the perfect season to relax and party. Thailand becomes a mini world as people from all over the world come here for holidays during this season.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You can <a href="http://www.asiapacificcentral.info/"><strong>travel to Asia</strong></a> for half of what others spend. No, that isn’t a phony promise, but if you properly research your options you will find that it’s easy to save money on airfare to Asia. Start preparing for your trip months in advance by signing up online for mailing lists. Sounds crazy, right?

In this case, express your interest in traveling to Asia and you’ll receive newsletters on last-minute and discount flights.</p>
<p>If you’re a frequent traveler by plane, chances are you’ve racked up some major reward points with your airline. Use those points to your advantage and apply them towards your trip to Asia. You can reduce your airfare by 50% or more depending on how many reward points you have saved over time. Also remember to ask for any specials or discounts when purchasing your plane ticket. Lots of airlines offer a variety of discounts, such as senior citizen, student, or military. Finally, look into discount travel websites. These sites will often list airfares at a discounted rate depending on the date you travel. With these helpful tips, you are sure to save money on your trip to Asia!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Each country in <a href="http://www.asiapacificcentral.info/"><strong>Asia</strong></a> has its own currency, although up-end establishments will accept dollars, there are very few of these around. It is best to have your money changed at the local bank. Some hotels also offer money changing, but usually at a lower exchange rate. </p>
<p>Like any kind of decisions people have to make, it is always important to know the area they will be visiting so as to familiarize themselves with the laws, locations of best tourist spots, and the kind of people they have to deal with. Going to a place without having the slightest idea what it is all about is just as bad as going to the wilderness with beasts lurking everywhere and there&#8217;s no gadget to protect them.</p>
