Bimonthly Contest 15th – 31st March 2010 by HolidayCity.com

Okay, I’m going to be a meanie. I’m going to make you cry as much as I almost did when I downloaded these pictures from the Press Room link of The Leading Hotels of the World for this blog entry. Feast your eyes with the photos below…
The photos above are of Palazzo Versace Hotel in Gold Coast, Australia. If you can’t already tell by the name, this superfluously majestic accommodation is Donatella Versace’s extension of her designer fashion label into a luxurious hotel.

Making Your Hotel Reservation Easy With HolidayCity.com

ADVERTORIAL

Blame it on the sleek, professional look of the layout, the first time I visited – or rather “bumped into” (since I wasn’t specifically looking for an accommodation reservation service) – HolidayCity.com weeks ago, I was under the impression that the website belonged to an international company. (Don’t get me wrong; not that I underestimated the designs of local corporate websites!) Little did I know that it was actually a Malaysian leading online reservation service provider (with MSC Status, no less!), and I believed I wouldn’t have found out about …

MATTA Fair 2010 [First Round]

This year, the first round (usually in March; the second one in September) of MATTA Fair was from 12 March until 14 March 2010. Putra World Trade Center (PWTC) was, and has always been, the venue; mainly because that’s where the offices of the Ministry of Tourism and the Malaysia Tourism Promotion Board are.
My auntie and I went to the recent MATTA Fair organized by the Malaysian Association of Tour & Travel Agents on Friday, the first day of the anticipated event, with one – and ONLY ONE – mission: …

Diplomatic Baggage: The Adventures Of A Trailing Spouse – Brigid Keenan

ADVERTORIAL

If you asked me, I would give everything and anything to trade my lack-of-spice life with a life of an ex-pat’s. So when a British diplomat’s wife relates about how she was always crying in the beginning of her husband’s postings and screaming at him and feeling miserable about the whole situation, I found it a tad confusing. Maybe because I’m no diplomat’s wife, because as she writes in her early part of her book, there is a misconception of being a trailing spouse because “people tend to think …

Papa M-bot Needs Your Help To Guide Him And His Family About Malaysia!

It’s not every day you get to help people, right? And you know what? It’s not every day that a robot ever needs your help. Yes, you heard me right. A robot. Not a human, but a robot. R.O.B.O.T.
The head of the family, Papa M-bot and the rest of M-bots are on “an important mission to learn everything there is to know about the fascinating land of Malaysia.” However, you’re given the options of the areas of Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Langkawi, Malacca, as well as the states of Sabah and …

Support Sustainable Tourism. Join Friends Of World Heritage!

Imagine, what if there would be no…

Statue of Liberty the next time you visited the United States of America?
Stonehenge the next time you visited the United Kingdom of Great Britain?
Great Barrier Reef the next time you visited Australia?
Taj Mahal the next time you visited India?
The Great Wall the next time you visited China?

And because these sites are listed as being in “danger” and perhaps their days are numbered, what if there would be no more:

Historic Town of Zabid in Yemen?
Okapi Wildlife Reserve in Democratic Republic of the Congo?
Fort and Shalamar …

Malaysia In Lonely Planet’s Best In Travel 2010! Say What?!!

ADVERTORIAL

Loving a birth-country one as Malaysia is like loving your own family member. It’s a love-hate kind of relationship. There are times when internal issues arise that enrage even the nicest and friendliest citizens (“nice” and “friendly” – aren’t those two adjectives what Malaysians are known for by the foreigners?) and create conflicts, you just wish you were born in another country. Or you plan to apply for a PR status in anywhere else in the world. Anywhere, but here. And there are also times when the country’s achievements go …
