We recently interviewed Brian & Bill Rogers of Timeshare Users Group (TUG) on our show, The Traveling Eye. Bill, the father and founder of TUG told us that there's no "in the middle" for timeshare owners. You either love it or hate it. Why because you either understand the business of timeshare ownership or don't. This is exactly why we did the show and looked to TUG for some expert advice.
I think we have all been to a presentation or two. For my husband it became a sport to find and rece

The Shwemawdaw Pagoda (also written Shwemawdaw Paya) in Bago is the tallest pagoda in Myanmar. The Shwemawdaw is 14 m higher than the Shwedagon of Yangon. The name Shwemawdaw means Great Golden God. The Shwemawdaw can be seen from as far as 10 km outside the city, a fact which I could verify when I saw the Shwemawdaw from the window of the train for a long, long while, as we travelled passed Bago from Yangon to Mandalay.
According to legend, Shwedagon Pagoda was built more than 2,600 years ago during the time of Lord Buddha. The two merchant brothers from then Okkalapa (now Yangon) met with Gautama Buddha shortly after he attained enlightenment, and became the first disciples of Lord Buddha. Gautama Buddha gave them eight hair relics which they brought back to their country. In Okkalapa, they built the first pagodain the history of Buddhism, Shwedagon on the holy Singuttara Hill.

Though Sapa has long been familiar with tourists, Ta Phin Village is still a new name to almost everybody. Located about 17km in the west of Sapa, Ta Phin is a village of Red Dao’s people possessing a rich culture that has not been damaged by the modern life.

For many years, Non (traditional conical hats woven from palm leaves) have been close to the daily life of Vietnamese women. The image of the Non was engraved on ancient objects, such as Ngoc Lu Bronze Drum and Dao Thinh Bronze Jar dated to 2,500-3,000 years ago.
Through time the Non has undergone many changes in terms of style and materials. Originally the Non was woven and plaited. Not until the 3rd century BC when iron was utilized, did people start using needles to sew the Non.

Most tourists to Costa Rica never see San Jose. They are whisked off from the Juan Santamaria International Airport outside the city to the “pretty” sights of the country; or they fly into the northern Guanacaste international airport at Liberia and don’t go anywhere near the Central Valley. That’s too bad. San Jose has a lot to offer … from museums to art galleries, plazas, walking boulevards, shady green parks, hidden architectural gems and great restaurants … you just have to

When the coffee mill is roasting in my little town in Costa Rica, you can smell the aroma throughout our hills and valleys. The sweet, pungent fragrance entices you to a steaming cup or two in the morning, and following tradition, another at 3:00 p.m. When I first moved to this small Central American land, I was puzzled by how it seemed the entire country stops at 3:00 pm for its “cafecito”. After nearly 11 years of living here, I find the local custom lovely, and follow it quit
