Singapore: a room with a view

The Sky Lounge during the Hotel Peninsula Excelsior, SingaporeWhilst in Singapore recently, you spent the integrate of gentle nights in the Peninsula Excelsior Hotel. Unfortunately you werent staying in their senior manager category place to live so you dont have the special feature for you. However, you were able to meet with the desirable Ms Corina Teo, who showed us around the Sky Lounge as well as afterwards invited us for lunch in the hotels Colemans Cafe!

The Sky Lounge is for the absolved few as well as consists of the 4,000 block feet, two-level senior manager lounge with outdoor balconies as well as the fantastic 270-degree unobstructed perspective of the Marina Bay cityscape as well as skyline. Its breathtaking. you cant suppose how you could get the better perspective in the whole of Singapore.

View of Singapore's Marina Bay during nightThe views from some of the guest bedrooms have been quite fantastic too. We had the dilemma room upon the 16th building as well as the views were superb! So most so, that the single day you even got up during dawn to try to take views of Marina Bay during sunrise. Good views, yes, though youre looking for something more perhaps?

If you have been the Formula 1 fan, afterwards have you got headlines for you! The Singapore Grand Prix will be held from 23-25September 2011 and, youve guessed it, youll have the budding perspective of the race from the Sky Lounge or indeed from your room if you get the single upon the Marina Bay (eastern) side of the building.

Image
24th July of this year marked 100 years exactly since Yale man and National Geographic explorer Hiram Bingham puffed and sweated his way up to the jungle-covered ruins of Machu Picchu. A century later, travelers who want to take in this true wonder of the world arent limited to explorer-style bivouacking; rather, there are now a wide range of accommodations, dining experiences, spas and adventures that rival the best in the world. So, in honor of Machu Picchu, Hiram Bingham and the incredible cultural patrimony of Peru, I would like to show you what a luxury trip to Machu Picchu looks like today. Most visitors begin their journey in Lima. A short stay allows you to soak in the glorious colonial past of Limas central plaza. Palms, tropical-yellow buildings with exquisitely-carved wooden balconies and Spanish palaces sweep you back in time. Before becoming too nostalgic, head for the modern and very hip Miraflores district. Hugging the green cliffs, Miraflores offers visitors an incredib

Guide to Swahili street slang in Stone Town, Zanzibar

Image
All photos by author. Mambo! Its the classic street slang for whats up? in Stone Town, Zanzibar and in most of urban East Africa. It literally means, things or issues? The upbeat term is often paired with the word vipi (how) as in, Mambo, vipi? How are things? There are at least 20 ways to answer the popular question that I never learned in formal Swahili classes. The gap between school and street could not be wider than in Stone Town, Zanzibars capital city, a UNESCO World Heritage site, that nearly 400,000 residents call home. Here, the lugha ya kisasa slang or lugha ya mitaani street language changes by the minute, mostly by young people who flip or shine an old word, or fashion a completely new one, inspired by hyper-local contexts, meanings, and realities.

The program prides itself on teaching a kind of Swahili described as sanifu (standard) or fasaha (clean). It was rigorous
