The Mexican Cultural Institute in an Antonio, Texas, or Instituto Cultural de Mexico has one of the worst web sites I've seen, yet one of the most stunning collection of art I have ever seen.
Virtually unknown even to those who live in San Antonio, this small gem of a museum sparkles with eclectic but always interesting art and events, and strong ties to both Mexico and the city of San Antonio.
It's a must see if you're ever in San Antonio.

When I first started writing about Authentic Luxury Travel no one seemed to know what I meant. Most folks thought that ALT was synonymous with five-star resorts and high-end cruise ships. In those days, I spent a lot of time defining “authentic” as it applies to travel.
But times have changed, and now a whole lot of people endorse the concept while acknowledging that it doesn’t mean the same thing to everyone.

Tet – The biggest festival for Vietnamese. It’s time for union, celebration and having fun. Tet also changes the people conversation, people often ask each other like ‘How are you preparing for Tet?’, ‘How big is your Tet?’ or ‘How many square cake will you make?’ or ‘How much do your children give to you?’.

How Not To Travel Like An "Ugly American"
It's part of travel's enduring mythology: The American tourist, unable to manage even a few sentences in any language other than English, and oblivious to the culture and traditions of other countries.
The unflattering image of the "Ugly American" is a bit unfair, perhaps, but the "USA Number 1!" attitude persists among many American travelers.
So Dean Foster, self-styled master of global etiquette and cross-cultural trainer to the world,
When planning the New Year's Eve in a comfortable round at home, then the idea is coming up, how to make New Year's Eve.
New Year's Eve marks the end of the year. The Advent and Christmas holidays are behind us then. A little Christmas atmosphere will be many people but then remained still. This is probably one of the reasons that many people choose to the circle of friends to spend the New Year's Eve.

Taj Mahal -The 'temple of love,' was constructed to keep a promise that was made by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan to his wife Mumtaz Mahal who expressed her last dying wish to the distraught Shah Jahan to build her a memorial that would be the ultimate dedication to unparallel love in the entire world.
The construction of this marvelous building began in 1931 that takes 22 years and finally completed in 1653. 20,000 labour works day and night to complete this milky marble tomb. The Taj Mahal in A
I am always amazed how a country so rich in history, culture and the arts and neighboring the USA, is a country that few in the USA even know about other than a beach vacation with margaritas in hand. Apart from the fantastic climate which is the lure for many, Mexico has a fascinating history that spans 5,000 years, and no, I am not talking about the Aztecs who were late-comers to the scene.
At the time of the Golden Age of Greece, Mexico was thriving culturally with mega cities that had develop

Ireland's fourth largest city (pop. 80,000), located roughly midway along the country's Atlantic coast - and a nearly straight shot of a bit over two hours west of Dublin - boasts a history stretching back nearly a thousand years. But today it's best known for its lively, often boho social, cultural, and music scene (turbo-charged by its youthful university population, a good 20 percent of all Galwegians, as locals are known), as well as its many festivals and events - some 1
In 1919, in the immediate wake of the devastation wrought by World War I, an architect named Walter Gropius, one of the pioneering maestros of modern architecture, founded an art school that combined fine arts with crafts and eventually architecture, with a minimalist approach to design that combined all of it with contemporary technology under the maxim "form follows function". Starting in eastern Germany - first in Dessau, then in Weimar, and finally a third school

Along with cumbia, the folk music form known as vallenato is a calling card of Colombian culture, and its Vallenata Legend Festival is a particularly momentous one, marking its 52nd edition this year April 26-30 in the city of Valledupar, in Colombia's northeast, about an hour and a half flight from Bogotá and just under four hours' drive from Cartagena.
Truth to tell, Colombian culture wouldn't be the same without this music, which goes back more
