Airline Loyalty, Worth More Than Ever
Vacations are something we all look forward to. Since the airlines started charging for everything from baggage to where you sit, the cost of travel has been increasing for many travelers. This has made it more difficult to plan a trip and led some to even eliminate the number of getaways they take.

Was I a Model in Japan?
During my time in Nagoya I worked and lived at the strangely famous hostel and café Nagonoya. With its chequered floors and florescent lighting it felt quite dated, but I think that was supposed to be part of the charm. The dorms were always fully booked on weekends with domestic tourists and there was always a buzz in the downstairs café. Camera crews were constantly in and out of the place interviewing the Japanese staff members who worked the café. I think it had something to do with the egg sandwiches. At least that was what was on most of the merchandise, except for that one dishcloth with the owner’s face on it. Was I being employed by a local celebrity?

A Tropical Looking Lake in the UK?
Imagine if you could go to a lake with stunning blue waters today and find yourself not on a tropical beach but the spitting image of one right here in the UK? Well, you don't need to imagine it when you visit St. Andrews Lake. Here a beautiful, sandy beach lines the azure water that promises boundless opportunities for leisure in a myriad of forms.
