Hotels By City: Cheap Hotels, Hotel Guides & Hotel Blogs

It is almost 2008. Can you believe it? It seemed like not too long ago we were bringing in the millennium. Time sure flies when you are having fun. I just looked over my New Year's Resolutions from 2007 and I think I have accomplished them all. 2008 will just be a continuation and improvement on 2007's resolutions. Travelling more, with meaning and purpose and complaining less. I guess it's ...

I was just reminded that today is the third anniversary of the disastrous Tsunami that claimed thousands of lives in Thailand in 2004. I choose to remember the beautiful images of Phuket, Thailand from my trip last year. Looking at this photo I took in May 2007, filled with blue skies, golden sandy beaches and content vacationers, it's ...

Christmas came early for me today when I checked the post. I received in my postbox, the gift that keeps on giving, that being the gift of "travel." No, it wasn't an all inclusive trip to an exotic island somewhere(maybe next time) but something that would come in handy if that did(and should) happen.

Anyhow, I wasn't sure exactly what this mystery package contained ...

A few weeks back, DR 1 - a television station here in Denmark - showed a documentary about the vanishing orangutan. To be honest, I'd never really thought much about the plight of the orangutan but I haven't been able to stop thinking about this particular documentary.

It was about a Danish wonder woman, Lone D. Nielsen who runs an orangutan centre in Nyaru Menteng ...

I've decided that today's blog will have little to do with Copenhagen but instead a mish mash of thoughts and feelings relating to two of the world's most recent events and talked about stories. First, the Madeleine McCann case. I, like many people have been following along with the case of the 4 year old British girl who disappeared while vacationing in Portugal with her parents and siblings. I know ...

SAS Airlines is synonymous with security and safety. However, an episode that occurred here last weekend left a few people shaking in their shoes. A Dash-8 airplane was forced to make a crash landing in Aalborg Airport here in Denmark because the right side of the landing gear gave way. It was pretty horrific to watch it on TV. I can't imagine what the experience was like for the passengers. ...

A while back I talked about a nationally acclaimed Danish horror film by Ole Bornedal called "Vikaren." The long and short of it is that it is about a substitute teacher that is cruel to the students but convinces the parents that she is as sweet as pie. The children complain about her but no one believes them.

Apparently, this film was recently shown at the Toronto Film Festival. The kids ...

The summer is coming to an end and I can finally say it. This has been the worst summer for rain I have ever experienced while living over here. Every time I turned around it seemed, it was raining, pouring, the old man was snoring. That's not to say that there weren't blue skies sometimes, there were but they turned grey a little more often than I care to mention.

It's ...

No, I'm not talking about the controversial new Michael Moore film that I happen to look forward to seeing. Actually that much anticipated film is coming to Denmark the 26th of August. It will all happen in Sønderborg and Michael Moore is rumoured to be there in the flesh.

But speaking of sickos, as we all know there are plenty of sick pups in this world. I was just reading that ...

I've just had my first twisted laugh of the day and it's already 3:30 p.m. That's not a good sign. Cat the Dog, a talented group of musicians from the U.K. are still playing on my myspace profile. That's not a good sign either because it's only when I'm feeling overwhelmed or like a "Ship Going Down" that I play their great little tune. 

Anyhow, back to my bizarre sense of humour ...
