The Red Square and the Kremlin are super important attractions and we went back to this part of Moscow 3 days in a row. You need at least 2 days to hit the main museums and attractions in this area and or just sit down and people watch. The Kremlin is unbelievable - with its golden spired domes, many cathedrals and amazing murals inside the curved walls of the churches. Red Square is one of the most impressive squares in the world anchored by … [Read more...]

Taras Bulba Restaurant, Moscow – January 2011
For an interesting dining experience try Korchma Taras Bulba, an authentic Ukrainian restaurant with multiple locations throughout Moscow. During one visit we found ourselves eating Ukranian food in Russia while ordering from a menu written entirely in Vietnamese. This restaurant seems to have menus in most of of the major languages of the world and the staff wanted to know what language we spoke as soon as we entered the restaurant so they could … [Read more...]

Empire State Building – October 2010
The Empire State Building is definitely one of New York's most visited attractions. It was completed in 1931 and was the world's tallest building for many years.

It is now New York's 3rd highest building, behind the Freedom Tower and 432 Park Avenue. You might see several ticket vendors outside the … [Read more...]
Cafe des Artistes, Luxembourg City – September 2010
Cafe des Artistes Luxembourg City is one of those cool nostalgic places you sort of stumble into out of the blue. In our case we stumbled into it with a friend, at night...out of the dark. Its a small piano bar located in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg. This is one of those intimate and romantic places that appeals to groups of all ages. It is not large, merely two rooms with a small bar. The drink of choice here is most definitely beer. This is the … [Read more...]
Rick’s Cafe, Negril – Jamaica – August 2010
Ricks Cafe Negil Jamaica is located in the popular tourism town of Negril. In contrast to the smooth seven mile strip of the nearby "Seven Mile Beach", Rick's is perched on top of the West End Cliffs, a jagged set of rorck that affords one excellent views of the ocean. For this very reason this is "the place" to be for watching the sun go down. In addition, Ricks is also home to the cliff jumpers, a group of daring young men who jump from trees … [Read more...]
Colca Canyon, Peru – July 2010
The Colca Canyon Peru is one of Peru's treasures - a canyon so deep that only one other canyon in the world is deeper, a place so little visited yet its only 5 hours from Arequipa, Peru's largest southern city.
