SandwichesShouldNeverTasteLikeCowCrap.jpegSandwiches Should NEVER Taste Like Cow Crap by Dave Lowe (published by Manta Press in 2008) is a tasty stew of stories from life on the Lowe Road.

Starting with strip searches at foreign customs, run-ins with tatami dragon ladies, rides aboard horny camels, shots fired by AK-47's, wheels breaking off taxis and more than a flightmare or two - Dave's travelogue poses a question: Are his size 13 shoes spreading mayhem and chaos with each step?

Only the Travel Gods know for sure.....

Dave Lowe's blog, The Lowe Road covers what's happening in travel, from zero to seven to star, hovels to hotels, donkeycarts to airlines and anything else useful that may come in handy for that future luxury resort vacation in North Korea.

The Raffles Hotel Turns 125

DateTuesday, September 18, 2012 at 6:31PM

It may not be on a budget traveler's must stay list, but for the serious Asiaphiles, a drink in the bar of this Singapore landmark is a must; it turns 125 this year.

The Raffles was opened in 1887, and has since maintained its place as the most luxurious of Singapore hotels, after a top to bottom facelife in 1991, the hotel as continued to attract guests, most of the package tour variety. Though non guests can still sidle up to the bar for a sling.

It's hard to believe this old charmer is turning 125! It was definitely one of my favorite buildings when I was traveling in Singapore back in 2008. I didn't get a chance to have a drink at the time though.
