read moreThailand’s Romantic Getaways
It Begins With the People By Terry Tremaine Photos By Connie Ekelund We were in Thailand when the international media were trumpeting political unrest and turmoil in the streets. Naturally we were somewhat wary but reassured in that Foreign Affairs Canada had simply suggested Canadians avoid a particular block near the centre of the city of Bangkok.

Beautiful China Beijing, Shanxi and Shanghai By Terry Tremaine Photos by Connie Ekelund A visa is required to visit China and certainly seems to facilitate entry as clearing customs upon arrival at Beijing International Airport is quick and efficient. Having last visited in 1986 I was most curious to see what changes had occurred and was most impressed with the truly remarkable transition. As with everywhere we travelled within China, infrastructure development has been extraordinary. When last in Beijing horse-drawn wagons were common. Today...

Having been born in Halifax, given the opportunity to return was truly a treat — and how it had changed. When I was young, the port was just that; a merchant and naval port, not a tourist destination. Now there are board walks by the water lined with many businesses existing solely to cater to tourists.
