There's no doubt that Budapest is a magnificent place: a city of contrasts, of beautiful bridges and medieval architecture. But Hungary is of course far more than just its capital. There is a lesser known side of the country which, if you can, you should not miss the chance to explore.

For example, in northeast Hungary is the Pannonhalma Monastery, a World Heritage Site founded over a thousand years ago.  You can see deep marks left by the passage of time upon its facade, which is an eclectic

Tipping in Hanoi

Tipping is not expected in Vietnam, but it is anyway, highly appreciated. A 5-10% tip for a meal is a very small amount of money. Avoid tipping too much, as it will set a precedent for others.

It is customary, though not compulsory, to tip tour guides and drivers at the end of a tour. Hotel and station porters should also be tipped, about 2 - 5 usd / day, depending on the service.

Tipping when eating is probably the most asked question. In the large cities when dining in large hotel restaurants, i

por Cristóbal Ramírez

EDüsseldorf se creen un poco latinos: aquí no hace tanto frío como en otras zonas deAlemania y los lugareños se lanzan a la calle en cualquier momento. Ese carácter dicharachero y de compartir experiencias con los demás se nota en Navidad y en febrero, cuando el Carnavalllena de color, desfiles y bailes el centro de la ciudad. Aquí gustan mucho los bares. Por algo a Düsseldorf la llaman “la barra más larga del mundo”.
