Burj Khalifa and How Bridges, Buildings and other Big Things Unite Nations
Cool Travel Guide &bull Jan 7, 2010
Excellent write up. I must say, what drew me to watch the grand opening was the fact that it'll be a good spectacle, especially for my photography. But looking the thousands and thousands of other people around me, cheering and clapping as soon as we saw the first glimpse of the firework, it really moved me. It feels like I'm a part of this city. Buildings such as this are a marvel, a source of collected, cultural pride--and for good reason. As you note, not… Full Story »

Cool Travel Guide &bull Dec 13, 2009
What an interesting and varied list. I don't typically focus on hotels since I specialize in a destination's culture but when one stands out, it's a place that reflects the spirit of the people and culture well. I would like… Full Story »

Your worst hotel experience?
Cool Travel Guide &bull Oct 16, 2009
You poor thing. I remember it was exactly this problem that prompted me to start Mr & Mrs Smith!! I still get terrible hotel stays but at least now I can champion the ones that really deliver! I'll echo Tamara on this one. We've stayed at some pretty nasty places over the years - when cheap was the rule. Hairs you don't want to see, fleas even, mosquito central. Now we're still trying to save money, but our standards have changed - significantly! Ewww... That's gross! What's the name of… Full Story »
