My 30 Favorite Things to do Chiang Mai – Understand Think of Chiang Mai as one huge ‘Khao San Road’ backpacker destination that has gone upscale in many parts and has gotten seriously trendy in China and South Korea. Chiang Mai is a rather small town that has some ‘big city’ vibes and ticks all […]
United has been busy behind the scenes for almost two years in renovating its huge United Club that’s just after security at the San Francisco International Terminal. Polaris branding came along in the meantime and the re-opening had been delayed for quite some time. It finally happened about a week ago and Oscar Munoz officially […]
San Francisco has been host to a ‘scooter saga’ for the last few weeks as several companies (that originally started in other cities) have started ‘dropping’ a big number of scooter rentals that come without a docking station on San Francisco‘s streets. So far, the process is entirely unregulated and some startups (like Bird) found […]
The Haven Bali Seminyak appears on most OTAs (like Expedia and Booking.com) for around $50 a night most of the year. The hotel is located along Seminyak’s busiest road and just behind Double Six Beach – one of the best (and also one of the busiest) beaches along the western shore of Bali. I wasn’t […]
My Favorite 23 Things to do Salt Lake City, Utah – Understand Salt Lake City is a city you have likely been to unwittingly, as many flights from Europe to the US West Coast cross over Salt Lake City’s airspace. Nestled between the foothills of the Wasatch Range and the Great Salt Lake, this smallish […]
My Favorite 26 Things to do Saigon (Ho Chi Minh) – Understand Ho Chi Minh is the former capital of the Republic of Vietnam (which fell in 1976) but is still the largest city in Vietnam. The city is more spread out than Hanoi and even the city center has a number of green spaces that […]
S7 is the world’s most punctual airline and we have reviewed it before. S7 has not changed much; the airline has stayed a solid member of Oneworld in this region. S7 almost exclusively operates A320 narrow-body aircraft, which is fine for a short hop, but gets tiring quickly for long segments over 5 hours. The company […]
My Favorite 14 Things to do Malawi – Understand Malawi can be best described as a gigantic organic farm where time has stood still for the last 200 years.

My 25 Favorite Things to do Maui (Lahaina, Kihei) – Understand Maui is home to great beaches and one of the tallest craters on the Hawaiian islands. Maui has built a reputation for upscale tourism in Lahaina and Wailea, but also misses the modern city environment that Honolulu provides on the nearby island. Maui is more touristy, but […]
Things to do Abu Dhabi – Understand Abu Dhabi shares many similarities with Dubai, but it is less crowded, less frantic and has more of a ‘small town’ feel to it. This is changing rapidly though and the city keeps adding attraction after attraction that draw similar crowds as Dubai. As with Dubai, more ‘development’ […]
My 19 Favorite Things to do Las Vegas – Understand Las Vegas does not need explaining; it has managed to carve out a ‘come here and burn money like crazy in a few days‘ niche – something other cities never dared to even strive for. Development near the Las Vegas Strip is quick (and will […]

Things To Do Edinburgh – Understand Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland and is chock-full of Scottish history throughout the centuries.

I’m usually hesitant to book a chain hotel that I haven’t heard of that shows as a great deal on Expedia, but the Village Hotel Edinburgh seemed too good to pass up. For £64 ($84), it would indeed offer something more akin to an Aloft experience. The hotel is located about 5 miles outside the […]
