The USA is home to several of the world's most exciting cities, some truly mind-blowing landscapes, a strong sense of regionalism, a trenchant mythology, more history than the country gives itself credit for and, arguably, some of the most approachable natives in the world. The US was fashioned from an incredibly disparate population who, with little in common apart from a desire to choose their own paths to wealth or heaven, rallied around the ennobling ideals of the Declaration of Independence to forge the richest, most inventive and most powerful country on earth.

Reise nach Chiang Mai

Wed, 4 Nov 2009 | By lukas_patricia | Views [17]

Die Fahrt dauert knapp 14 Stunden und wir schlafen nur sehr kurz, weil der Zug dauernd hält und wieder anfährt und dazwischen kracht und poltert, dass es nicht auszuhalten ist. Dementsprechend fit sind wir, als der Zugkellner um 6:30 Uhr das Frühstück ... Read more >

Relaxing Halloween Weekend.

Sun, 1 Nov 2009 | By imatravelin | Views [18]

So, as many of you may already know, Halloween isn´t entirely my thing. I can´t say I exactly appreciate what it stands for, and in Madison it´s an obnoxious, rioting drink fest, which again, isn´t my cup of tea. I saw a lot of drunk drivers on the ... Read more >
