1	Wednesday, 3/26/14	About Singapore At first glance, this diamond-shaped island just off the coast of Malaysia gleams with modernism and commercialism, making it seem more Western than Eastern. But as you continue to discover the city-state, you'll uncover the eclectic mix of cultures, religions, ancient treasures and British colonial impressions that give rise to a unique Singaporean identity. The cultural fusion is perhaps best expressed in Singapore's unofficial language, Singlish, a unique patois of English, Chinese and Malay. Singapore Attractions Thian Hock Keng, the "Temple of Heavenly Bliss," is one of the oldest Chinese temples in Singapore. What was originally a makeshift altar became a full-blown temple in 1841, and it still shines today with red and black lacquer and gold gilt. The shrine honors Ma Po Cho, the Patron Goddess of Sailors, but it also gives a shout out to the Protector of Life, the God of War, the Goddess of Mercy and the Sun and Moon Gods through intricate carvings and statues.

12	Sunday, 4/6/14	About Da Nang Da Nang is Vietnam's fourth largest city. Spectacular sights include the Cham Museum, with its stunning collection of Cham art and sculptures; the Marble Mountains and famous China Beach; and the ancient city of Hoi An. Da Nang Attractions The centrally located city is also not far from other significant historic and cultural attractions including the ancient city of An Nasiriyah, which is about an hour away by car, and features some of the oldest surviving structures in the region. To the south of the Da Nang is the chain of Marble Mountains, five large hills that locals believed represented the five elements including Metal, Water, Wood, Fire and Earth. There are numerous legends about gold hidden with the caves that are within the hills, but these are said to be protected by traps. Cao Dai Temple - For the more than 20,000 Cao Dai in Vietnam, this temple is the sect's centerpiece. As in all Cao Dai temples, above the main altar is the image of the Giant Eye, which is the symbol of Cao Daism. Most interesting is a sign which says "Van Giao Nhat Ly," meaning that all religions have the same purpose. Da Nang Cathedral - Built in 1923 by the French in pink sandstone with a single spire, the church serves Da Nang's Catholic community. Ho Chi Minh Museum - The museum features a replica of Ho's house in Hanoi as well as a collection of various weaponry of the Vietnam War. Da Nang Activities The sea is good for swimming all year round especially in summer from May to August because of the mild wave, the water temperature and the safeguard team that works from 5am to 8pm every day to ensure safety for tourists. Other activities here are fishing, water-skiing, diving and yacht race. Most beaches are easily accessible by means of transport. Da Nang	8:00am	9:00pm

Among the best places to view the Harbor is at the Victoria Tower on the Victoria Peak, or from the piazza at the Culture Center or the promenade of Tsim Sha Tsui on the Kowloon side. Rides on the Star Ferry to view the harbor are also widely popular. As the natural center of the territory, the harbor has played host to many major public shows, including the annual fireworks displays on the second night of the Lunar New Year. These shows are popular with tourists and locals alike, and the show is usually telecast on local television. To add to the popularity of the harbor as a sightseeing location, the government introduced a show dubbed A Symphony of Lights, using use audio, lights and pyrotechnics to introduce the city to its viewers every evening. Also recently opened, was the Avenue of Stars, built along the promenade outside the New World Center in Tsim Sha Tsui.

18	Saturday, 4/12/14	About Xiamen Xiamen, also known as Amoy, is a seaside village turned international port city in the Fujian Province of China. Sure, it has the skyscrapers and the hustle-and-bustle of many larger Chinese cities, but it's also known as China's cleanest and most relaxed city. With its charming old quarter, scenic countryside, tree-lined beaches and vehicle-free getaway island, Xiamen offers a pleasant respite with all the modern amenities. Xiamen Attractions Take a 10-minute ferry ride across the Egret River to the scenic island retreat of the early 20th-century wealthy, Gulang Yu. Gulang Yu means "Drum Wave Islet" for the beating sound of waves rushing through hollow rocks. It was the preeminent locale for the international community to build their opulent mansions. Stroll through the serpentine, cobblestone streets (bonus: no cars allowed) to view a wide variety of international architecture at its finest. Along the way, you'll find Asia's largest piano museum.

20	Monday, 4/14/14	About Shanghai Post-Mao-era Shanghai is light-years away from its restrained past (and even farther away from the equally unrestrained reputation it held for a long time before that). Today's Shanghai is firmly focused on the future, a bustling metropolis with a revitalized port and a sizzling art/shopping/restaurant scene that rivals even the most cosmopolitan of its Western cousins. Anyone with an eye for the global stage just has to see this city. Shanghai Attractions Once you've traced Shanghai's colorful past along The Bund (the famed colonial-era street that forms the city's waterfront) and the French Concession (a goldmine of art deco architecture), make time for the Yu Gardens in the Old City. Eighteen years in the making (and nearly obliterated during the Opium War in 1842), this exquisite example of Ming garden design is well worth the visit. Shanghai	8:00am	--

25	Saturday, 4/19/14	About Beijing The capital as well as the second largest city in China is home to more than 14 million people and a whole lot of traffic - but many more reasons to make this the one city not to be missed in China. The energy is palpable. Gone are the days of buttoned tunic uniforms and conformity - replaced by a vivacious sense of individuality accentuated with pulsing colors and buzzing electronics. Sprinkled through it all are the notable treasures that hark back as early as the 7th century. Beijing Attractions Between the Imperial Palace (Forbidden City), Tiananmen Square and the Great Wall of China, it's hard to choose just one thing not to be missed. The good news is, you can see two of these together. The northern side of Tiananmen Square is adjacent to the Forbidden City. Take in the world's largest (and perhaps most infamous) public square, sprawling the size of 90 football fields, then enter the Forbidden City, so named because the home of the Chinese Emperor was closed to visitors until the 1920s. The palace's construction began in 1406 and holds many national treasures created over the centuries. Beijing	6:00am	6:00pm

Nagasaki Attractions Glover Garden - With beautiful views of Nagasaki, the garden houses a collection of Western-style houses, including that of Thomas Glover, a 19th-century Scottish merchant who lived in Nagasaki and introduced modern shipbuilding techniques to Japan. Oura Catholic Church - Next to the entrance of Glover Garden, this is the oldest example of a Catholic church in Japan, built in 1865 for the foreign population that lived in Nagasaki at the time.

36	Wednesday, 4/30/14	About Tokyo Even though Tokyo is among the largest, most frenetic cities in the world, it's still able to maintain a great deal of efficiency and charm. Amid the endless buzzing neon signs and the overhead cable webs, Tokyo is home to some of the world's most impressive architecture, stylish shops and 4-star restaurants. But just a short distance outside the clamor of the city is a whole different world. In the surrounding small towns and villages you'll get a glimpse into Japan's rich culture and traditions. Here you'll discover scores of wooden residential homes, ancient temples, shrines and imperial gardens. From the frenzy-filled metropolis to the tranquil bonsai-tree-lined neighborhoods, Tokyo is truly a study in delightful contrasts. Tokyo Attractions Tokyo has so many incredible things for a visitor to see and do there just isn't time to do it all. But if you want to experience the true heart and soul of Tokyo, a visit to Kokyo, Japan's Imperial Palace, is a must. This magnificent, awe-inspiring edifice is an architectural marvel and home to the Emperor of Japan. Another cultural and architectural landmark not to be missed is the Sensoji Temple. Built in the 7th century, this is Tokyo's oldest and most significant Buddhist temple. This site is very popular with tourists, so plan to visit early. There are a number of traditional shops and restaurants nearby if the lines are long. Tokyo	8:00am	--

59	Friday, 5/23/14	About Panama Canal The Panama Canal was completed in 1914 under the administration of Teddy Roosevelt at a cost of $533 million, requiring 35,000 men and 10 years to build. An engineering marvel, no pumps are used in filling or emptying the locks or "steps" that rise and fall between the two mighty oceans on either side. The Canal saves 13,000 miles of ocean travel around the tip of South America for vessels that traverse the 51.7 mile course. It takes 58 million gallons of water for a single ship to descend the 85 feet from the Pacific to the Atlantic, and takes a mere 8 hours. Panama Canal Attractions While you're sailing through the Panama Canal, take time out to explore the beautiful surrounding area. A great way is a kayaking ecological tour through the islands that surround Gatun Lake. Rich in animal and plant life, these islands are home to 93 species of mammals, 366 species of birds and 1,368 species of vascular plants.

Formerly known as the West Bay Pink House, Old Homestead is probably the most photographed home in Grand Cayman. The pink-and-white Caymanian cottage was built in 1912 of wattle and daub around an ironwood frame.
