SUNDAY’S SPECIAL SPOT – LUANG PRABANG
The images of SE Asia that wander through my head are filled with colour, history, culture and mysteries that I myself can not conceive, at least not yet. The more I learn of this corner of the globe the more I thrilled I become at the prospect of having my own two feet wander its…

SUNDAY’S SPECIAL SPOT – GOA
This week’s ‘hot spot’ is none other than Goa, India. Despite being the smallest state in India, it is favoured by many for its beach life, blend of Indian and Portuguese history, pilgrims and lifestyle suited to expats from around the globe. Located on India’s west coast, near the Arabian Sea, this tropical haven beckons. …
