This is the first time I encounter flies that fly right at your face. This must be something unique to Australia. The country is beautiful and the buildings are well-designed. But why do the flies fly at your face ? Why can't Australian scientists think of something to exterminate the flies...

It's my maiden visit to Australia. I'm surprised that the AMDK staff are very friendly and polite. A basic meal costs A$10, and after a few days I began to understand the cause - the Australians close shops at 5 pm. Most cafes open shop in the morning, catch you for the breakfast and lunch...

TCL 40" Smart TV, on offer @ Giant for $349. Good TV or not ? The name doesn't inspire confidence.

If you look at the Incoming Passenger Card, they want you to indicate the "State" of your intended address in Australia, and they give you 3 small boxes to fill up the name of the State. Is that supposed to be a numerical code or is that a standard 3-letter short form for individual states in...

If the vendor dispatches the parcel via UPS, will custom and excise department contact you and make you pay GST before they release the parcel ?

I'm completely alien to Hua Hin and wonder where I should start. Where should I stay so that I can walk around the main shopping areas without having to take a taxi or public transport? I'm looking for a hotel below $50 per night. Thank you for sharing.

What would you recommend ? Do you think BATA too cheapskate ?

I'm thinking of going to Sapporo for the first time. For those who have been there before, where would be a good spot to start ?

What are the best options for video conferencing on TV ? I know we can do it on laptop, but I need it for a new office in the conference room. Do you use Skype enabled Smart TV ? Is there such a thing in the first place ?

I have been travelling a lot but most of the time I would buy the travel insurance offered by the airline, notably Scoot. It's by far the cheapest but I have realized that the devil is in the details. The plan is underwritten by AXA, and I have noticed that AXA has other travel insurance plans...
