Shanghai China. Tips on visiting this chameleon city!

…Exciting,” and even “Tour of Shanghai Old Movies” because it used to be a popular movie making city. There are some more unusual ones with a political spin like the “Tour of Shanghai Happy Farmers Life” going back to nature, and enjoying poetic Pastoral delight. Living in a farmer’s house, having a farmer’s meal, working as a farmer and enjoying a happy farmer’s life. The series is based on what they call “The Seven Wonders of the World, Seven Da…

Virgin Atlantic Upper Class Seats and Cabin. Luxury Airline Experience

…bit distracting, especially if you are travelling on routes that are also popular as tourist destinations. When selecting seats and travelling by yourself, my tip is to choose one that is in the section where you do not have seats opposite you. These tend to then be very quiet and private. You face into the back of seats and so you don’t have anyone looking at you and so feels more private. The downside of the layout of the seats overall is that…

The Salutation and Secret Gardens in Sandwich (Kent, England)

…rdens from the Knightrider House. The gardens are amazing, and in Summer a popular place for tourists to visit and so there is a tea room and gift shop also open on the property in season. The hosts were so friendly and helpful. The breakfast was served in a magnificent room in the main house and was extensive and tasty. Highly recommend The Salutation. Relaxing, welcoming and stylish. Watch the video tour I made of The Salutation, Secret Gardens…

Palm Springs Aerial Tramway and Jacinto State Park: not to be missed!

…to the top, where is a beautiful, restful and lush State Park that is very popular with hikers and campers. The temperature at the top is usually around 20 degrees Fahrenheit lower than the often stifling hot Palm Springs. And you are transported from a world of dryness, beige desert and rocks into an almost magical forest. I am not great with heights, but this cable car is large, and feels safe and secure. It has a rotating floor so everyone gets…

Hotel Verta & Heliport Battersea London: thoughts and review

…itness area that is well equipped, and then a pool with jet areas that was popular. Overall was a slightly strange stay, and the hotel clearly does not seem to be busy with guests – but also the local community seem to have embraced it less that the Hotel Raefal near by where the bar was much more busy and vibrant.

SIDMOUTH IN DEVON UK: Sorry fans (of which there are many) but for me it is a strange old place!

…uth leaves me really cold. I don’t get what the fuss is about as this is a popular and sought after place to visit. To be honest, I find the beauty of the place pales as I always feel like I have been stranded a decade or two back in some Old Folks Home World planet. Not that a place full of retired people should be a bad thing, but for some reason Sidmouth seems to give the feeling that you have strolled onto the set of some creepy Leaugue of Gen…

…ng from the few on the beach “greasy spoon” cafes or sailing. It is also a popular point to head off on walks up and along the top of the steep cliffs. You can also hire small wooden motor boats for 20 minutes to chug out to sea. Beer village has a fairly long street that has small and increasingly more quirky boutique type shops selling arts and crafts, fudge and the like. It has a buzz and friendly atmosphere especially on the weekends in summer…

The room was large and comfortable (as the photos and video show): Video of Room 374 I stayed in: Westin Hotel Princeton This is what I thought in 2008: What a strange hotel. I was so glad I was only staying one night! That was more than enough. It has been many years since I stayed here, and t…

60 Thompson Hotel Soho New York: is this trendy hotel worth staying at?

…wnstairs, which is a Thai fusion, was not that good in my view. It is very popular and although I was so-so on the food, they did amazing cocktails (especially the Classic Moijto) There is a very small fitness room in the basement that was average. But enough stuff to have a decent workout. The hotel was good at checking and watching activity on twitter @60_thompson and noted comments and so on through my stay. This was a nice touch too. Overall a…

The hotel has been spruced up and very much caters and is targeted at the conference and package tour markets seeking good location, suitable facilities and value. It is neither luxurious nor downmarket, and in almost every way it is fine though management are working har…
