GramPackers Taiwan On!! It's true. Taipei has terrible air pollution. But... that multicultural city also has everything else one could hope for. A mosaic of alleyways harboring eateries specializing in savory beef noodle soups and cook-it-yourself ... Read more >

THAILAND | Tuesday, 14 Feb 2017 | Views [697]

Restless Bangkok beckons and threatens with its shopping warrens and thick soupy smog. Three months of a cold, dry and dusty Albertan winter drove us to make a last minute decision to once again escape to SE Asia. Within five days we left for Thailand, ... Read more >

Italy: from Ruins to Rails

ITALY | Saturday, 15 Oct 2011 | Views [545]
