Indian youths train surf
It's a scene straight from Danny Boyle's Oscar-winning film Slumdog millionaire, but for these train riding thrill seekers the cost of one wrong move could be their lives!
Videos of these 'train surfing' youths from India appeared on the internet after one passenger filmed their crazy stunt from the window of a carriage.
The three youths cling to the side of a train as it leaves a station, sliding along the platform before jumping onto the carriage as it rumbles out into the countryside.

Beijing by Motorcycle Side-car
Frenchman, Yves du Parc, Vice President and General Manager of Beijing Sideways, parked his motorcycle on the street and showed up on time (no traffic jams for the motor bike) to meet me at my hotel. He sized my helmet and adjusted my lap belt in the side car of his “Chang Jiang,” literally "The long River" motor bike, took my photo, and hopped onto his seat. Then, he turned the ignition key, and we were off.

It seems like every year there is pressure to have the most fabulous New Years vacation ever. Right after Thanksgiving, ‘What are you doing for Christmas?

If you want to make your friends green with envy and also experience paradise this holiday, not many places can top the islands of French Polynesia.

Malaysia for Asian American women
Malaysia holds its own in the South Eastern region despite strong competition from its neighbours: Singapore, Indonesia and Thailand. The country is a beautiful amalgamation of the old and new, and a great stop when cruising to the Orient to get back in touch with one’s cultural roots.
Daytripping in Kyoto and Tokyo
While Tokyo is a dynamic and cosmopolitan city as well as a must see destination in the world- only 2 and a half hours away via Japan’s high speed bullet train, shinkansen, you can be whisked away from the hustle of Tokyo to Japan’s cultural capital- the ancient and peaceful city of Kyoto.

My Place Hotel
My Place Hotel was among the B&Bs I examined within walking distance of Earl’s Court Tube Station in London. It was listed as a hotel decorated by Terence Conran, of Conran and Partners along the principles of Feng Shui. Terence Conran was a famed archiltectural designer, who decorated many hotels. While it was in a nice, clean and peaceful neighborhood, I could detect no signs of its influence. I was doing a story on Feng Shui, at the time, and western applications would have been a nice addition.
