Wipha Wipeout

Posted Wednesday, September 19, 2007, 6:48 PM by Lonely Planet By no means the worst casualty of Typhoon Wipha, but interesting to note, is as a result of the storms lashing at China s Eastern coast, Tuesday s and Wednesday s scheduled matches in the FIFA Women s World Cup were delayed. cottage holiday in wales

With China to host the Olympics in August next year, numerous international events in the lead up, and both the Paralympics and Special Olympics tournaments in September and October respectively, there will be close observation of organisers capacity to adapt to unforseen disruptions. caravan holiday in wales

The matches to now be played tonight are: Norway v Ghana Brazil v Denmark Canada v Australia China v New Zealand Travellers in and around Shanghai should still be wary of flood, wind and storm warnings and can check out what s being discussed on the Thorn Tree and news websites for more. **Good Luck to the Matildas tonight!** Labels: Asia and Pacific, Breaking travel news, Festivals and events camping holiday wales

Matildas drew with Canada last night meaning they make it through to the quarters - the best result for Australian women s soccer ever. Hard to believe there was a typhoon threatening any part of the country. In Chengdu - where the game was played - it was 30 plus degrees celsius and the sun was shining brightly. accommodation holiday wales

To Madagascar with love from London

Posted Tuesday, October 16, 2007, 5:01 PM by Lonely Planet London s not all about shopping, exhibitions and partying. I was lucky enough to work voluntarily for Azafady for a few weeks in their Kilburn office. My job was to make their website more user-friendly. Or so I thought... holiday wales walking

On my arrival, Mark the director had me writing emails, answering the phone, posting voluntary positions on university websites, scanning applications, running to the post office, making tea and contributing to the madness that is the office of Azafady. You think London is glam Well Azafady s office is quite the opposite. And for good reason - 90% of the donations they receive go straight to Malagasy communities. family holiday wales

Blue sky bio-hazard

Posted Wednesday, November 21, 2007, 7:17 PM by Lonely Planet Australia: blue skies, big open brown spaces, lots and lots of minerals and one, particularly nasty one... holiday in wales

Chrysotile

was once mined to make asbestos - a popular, cheap housing material used in Australia in the 50s, 60s and 70s. Now, it s widely known that asbestos is highly toxic and leads to nasty lung related diseases, including cancer. holiday wales

The mine site was in Wittenoom; a town by the same name servicing the workers of what was a booming industry. But since discovering the hazardous effects of asbestos, Wittenoom s been deserted. Situated in the Pilbara region in northern Western Australia the area still appeals to many travellers - and quite rightly. The gorges and waterfalls of nearby Karijini National Park are naturally spectacular. cottage holiday in wales

Iconic 80s Australian rock band, Midnight Oil released the album Blue Sky Mining in 1987, featuring a track, Blue Sky Mine which cut to the core of the mining industry and made Wittenoom infamous. Its lyrics still resonate with miners and their families who ve lobbied their incredibly wealthy ex-employers for justice and compensation to cover medical costs and damages. caravan holiday in wales

So I m caught at the junction still waiting for medicine The sweat of my brow keeps on feeding the engine Hope the crumbs in my pocket can keep me for another night... And the company takes what the company wants And nothing s as precious As a hole in the ground... Where as once curiosity may have seen you risk a side trip to Wittenoom it s no longer possible. It doesn t exist. It has been decommissioned, taken off the maps, the electricity - switched off. camping holiday wales

Overview Loved to death

By Tony and Maureen Wheeler cottage holiday wales

Loved to death. These days it s a phrase that more and more travel possibilities get tarnished with. We scratch our heads and wonder just when Bali s Kuta or India s Goa morphed from quiet surfer escapes or laid back hippy hangouts into international resorts of wall to wall shops, restaurants and package hotels. Cities the world over worry about how they re going to cope with ever increasing flows of tourists. holiday in wales

Late afternoon at Kuta Beach

At Lonely Planet sustainable and responsible have always been parts of our vocabulary. In our early days, those key words had yet to be irrevocably linked with tourism. But looking back at our earlier books it s pretty clear that we realised from the start that making a connection to the places we visited was a vital part of the sage message we wanted our guidebooks to carry, right down to how they are produced. holiday wales

Today, more than ever, we re utterly convinced of the incredible importance of travel. It s only through travelling, through meeting people that we begin to understand that we re all sharing this world. We are all coming along for the ride, despite the barriers which governments, religions and economic and political beliefs often seem to build up between us. cottage holiday in wales

With information on this website and in our books, we hope to inspire you to try a new, far more rewarding, way of travelling. So how do we make that ride not just a quick fairground twirl, but something that we can enjoy for our travelling lives and pass on to our children and future generations By changing our travel habits and thinking differently about how, where and why we travel. Responsible travel means assessing our impact on the environment and local cultures and economies - and acting to make that impact as positive as possible. We re including more information in our guidebooks and on this website on how you can personally travel more responsibly. caravan holiday in wales

Responsible tourism has incredible potential to have a positive impact on some of our most pressing global issues: peace and poverty, not to mention the influence it can have on biodiversity conservation. As a company, we have committed to ensuring all our staff travel is carbon neutral by paying to offset the carbon emissions of our airline flights through the pro-environment projects of climate-care. camping holiday wales

Camel rides on beach at sunset

By 2020 it s estimated that 1.5 billion people will be travelling each year. It s not hard to understand how each one of us needs to consider our personal contribution (as Lonely Planet does) to sustaining the natural and cultural wonders of our planet so that future generations can enjoy the same life-changing adventures we have shared. accommodation holiday wales

Tidy stacks of old car tires and empty beer cans aren t the aftermath of a booze-fuelled car promotion, but the raw materials for these biotecture buildings. Constructed from unorthodox recycled materials, each house is completely self-sufficient, harvesting solar and wind power, collecting rainwater in huge cisterns and reutilizing grey water for landscaping or vegetable plots. A mixture of packed sand, tires and aluminium cans form the exterior shells, and embedded glass bottles filter sunlight into mesmerizing indoor rainbows. Flanked by distant snow-peaked mountains, guests can overnight in comfortable yet sustainable sumptuousness. The passively heated solariums riot with plants and playful multihued interiors rival those of an upscale boutique hotel. holiday last minute wales

54th Sydney Film Festival

Posted Wednesday, June 06, 2007, 9:39 PM by Lonely Planet From pulsating Latin American documentaries to slick Korean gangster pics, innovative Aussie flicks and broody Eastern European dramas the Sydney Film Festival s 2007 program promises the best in world cinema. Starting this Saturday Sydney-siders will pack their thermos, don their most interesting pair of glasses and head into the dark for 17 days of back to back movie-going. holiday wales walking

Our resident Lonely Planet film buff Ghita just back from Rotterdam Loebenstein says don t miss Red Road an exceptional and artfully constructed psychological thriller. She also gives props to Fresh Air, a charming Hungarian film about a stuffy mother-daughter relationship and Syndromes and a Century, an enchanting Thai film that twists itself ever so slightly into peculiar and almost mythical forms. For a bit of Icelandic action Children and Parents lends a minimalist lens to the intertwining relationships between a set of children and parents. family holiday wales

Music documentaries to look out for include The Dixie Chicks Shut Up and Sing which has had a great response wherever it has shown and the Oz hip hop flick Words From The City.

Thai-ing up loose ends

Posted Tuesday, June 05, 2007, 5:21 PM by Lonely Planet I recently spent two-and-a-half-months traversing the length and breadth of Thailand while on assignment for Lonely Planet. Yes, it was one of the most unique experiences of my journalistic career. But here s a nasty surprise for all you aspiring guidebook writers out there: Vast stretches of my work week were often mind-numbingly dull. Nevertheless, I still managed to acquire a few priceless nuggets of international knowledge along the way, some of which you, dear reader, are about to become the lucky beneficiary. adventure holiday wales

1. Sex tourists are often good for a laugh

In the majority of Thailand s most infamous red-lights districts, such as Bangkok s Patpong, it s actually quite likely you ll encounter a greater number of camera-toting tourists than the Dirty Old Men of Southeast Asian lore. Interested in taking a disturbing go-go bar field trip you ll be able to dine out on back home If so, pay a visit to the popular-again Bangkok alley known as Soi Cowboy, or to its nearby neighbour, a building known as Nana Plaza. Both are located in Sukhumvit. holiday park south wales

2. Osama bin Laden has been fully embraced by the free market

This one is weird. I first noticed the trend three years ago in Malaysia, where I saw a pre-teen boy in a day market wearing an Osama T-shirt. In Thailand, I spotted Osama masks, stickers, posters and banners. 3. The dark side of the Full Moon Party (and I m not talking about the overdoses) The legendary dance party, which takes place on Ko Pha-Ngan whenever the moon is full, has been a famed backpacker milestone for years. Yet travellers have lately been expiring during the FMP at a surprisingly rapid clip. In April, an Israeli tourist was stabbed to death during a bar fight. In early 2005, an overloaded Samui-bound speedboat capsized, leaving seven dead. And what s up with all those drunk people napping in the ocean ! Please, friends: Look alive out there, kay cottage holiday wales

4. In Thailand, train travel is free

Okay, not really. But it s mighty close! I beg of you, Thailand-bound backpacker: Get off the VIP bus circuit at least once during your journey, head to the nearest train station, and go somewhere. Anywhere. Just like travelling in Thailand, the journey will be a ride you ll not soon forget.

Loving the alien

Posted Sunday, June 03, 2007, 5:18 PM by Lonely Planet Otherworldly aliens dwell among us, at least in Roswell s many souvenir shops. If you ve ever thrilled to The X-Files, the incident at Roswell, New Mexico is already filed away in your top secret memory banks. In 1947, as Cold War hysteria sent Americans into a tongue-tied tizzy, a mysterious object crashed at a nearby ranch. No one would have skipped any sleep over it, but the military made a big to-do of hushing it up, and for a lot of folks, that sealed it. The aliens had landed! cottage holiday in wales

International curiosity and local ingenuity have transformed the small city into a thriving extraterrestrial-wannabe zone. Downtown, bulbous white heads glow atop the street lamps, a fast-food chain takes the shape of a celestial spacecraft and the windows of the local music store have little space-dudes jamming on electric guitars. Inside the popular UFO Museum, pale elongated beings with huge eye sockets turn up everywhere. Aliens pop out of Christmas stockings in the gift shop and a huge silver-sequined flying saucer could be a back-up disco ball for the galactic in crowd. caravan holiday in wales

There are shacks virtually on the airport site, even the cleaners in the airport beg for money, children are maimed to get better begging takings, and all of the swanky blocks from the airport into town are covered in black mould.
