To Enjoy Brazil’s Famous Beaches, You Will Need a Brazilian Visa
November 28th, 2009
When you think of Brazil, what comes to mind? For most people, the answer is exciting festivals like Carnivale, lush tropical rainforests, and of course, the world-famous beaches. Probably the most famous of these is Copacabana, immortalized in the Grammy-winning hit song by Barry Manilow. Despite the predictable crowds of locals and tourists, Copacabana's gorgeous white sands are still well worth a visit. Copacabana also has many activities available, day and night, including futevolei, also known as foot volleyball.
For a quieter experience and some spectacular swimming, check out Ipanema, another gorgeous white sand beach near Rio de Janeiro. Moving away from Rio de Janeiro and towards Sao Paulo, the sand is tinted a beautiful shade of gold on the beaches of Costa Verde. Even bet
Getting a Thai Visa to Ride Elephants in Mae Hong Son Province
November 27th, 2009
Mae Hong Son Province is a province in the northwest of Thailand. Asian elephants have always lived in these forests, and the local people have been training elephants here for centuries. In fact, the name of the province is derived from that of an old settlement called Ban Mae Rong Son, or Village of the Elephant Training Camp.
Today, Mae Hong Son Province is a land of remote forests, many of which have never been cut. Tourists come for the beautiful scenery and to experience the unique traditional cultures of the local hill tribes.
Since it is so remote, Mae Hong Son province is especially suited to trekking, mountain biking, rafting and other outdoor sports. Given the region's history, it's not surprising that elephant trekking is also a possible activity. Several local elephant

November 22nd, 2009
If your idea of a great vacation is relaxing somewhere comfortable, doing as little as possible, then Uzbekistan is probably not for you. However, if you enjoy adventure travel packed with outdoor activities, Uzbekistan is a wonderful option that is often overlooked.
Uzbekistan's outdoor attractions include skiing, which is a popular activity in the Chimgan-Beldersay region near the city of Tashkent; mountaineering, rock-climbing and hiking. Horseback riding and hang gliding are also popular, especially on Greater Chimgan mountain in Ugam-Chatkal National Park.
Due to its location on the ancient Great Silk Road, Uzbekistan also has many stunning archaeological and architectural sights. For example, the city of Samarkand is a UNESCO World Heritage site due to its ancient history and
Do You Need a Moldovan Visa?
November 22nd, 2009
Moldova borders on Ukraine and Romania. Although it is a beautiful country, it is primarily known for its wine. Moldavia has too many vineyards to name-360,000 acres worth, according to Wikipedia. For centuries, winemaking has been one of the primary occupations of Moldavian citizens, and many families still make wine based on ancient family recipes, using their own strains of grapes.
One of the main tourist activities in Moldova is going on winery tours. You get an "up close and personal" glimpse of the wine-making process, and of course, you get a chance to sample the goods.
Leif Patterson visited several wineries in Moldova and wrote a report on his blog, Killing Batteries.
Here's what he had to say about the trip:
"It’s a wine-drinkers once-in-a-lifetime experience, borde
