Here’s a positive review of Hotel Indio in Ontario, California.
clipped from fullvaluereview.com
The Powder RoomWith out a doubt, this Hotel Indigo brand is a winner for the twenty and thirty-somethings who are looking for a great hotel at a great price. This brand is ran by the Intercontinental Hotel Group, the same group that operates fine brands like Holiday Inn and Crowne Plaza hotels. I say cheers to Hotel Indigo as I go to get ready for a night out on the town in Claremont California at The Press.

Here’s some good information about love hotels in Japan and Asia. I have personally gone to many in Korea and I have to say, they are like 1st class luxury “humping” hotels where you can pay for how many hours you use.

The love-hotel industry is one of Japan’s most profitable. It accounts for more than ¥4 trillion a year, a figure nearly four times than that of the profit of Toyota Motors, double that of the anime market, and a trillion yen more than the annual takings of the Japan Racing Association.

Supporting this are 30,000 love hotels nationwide providing places for the 500 million visits that take place each year. Some 1,370,000 couples use a love hotel daily (1 percent of the total population of 127 million people on any given day), and one research project has calculated that half of all sex in Japan takes place in a love hotel, and that consequently a large part of the country’s offspring is conceived in one.

Boots embroidered with Madonnas
What do Oprah Winfrey, Mitt Romney, ZZ Top and the CEO of a major Japanese corporation have in common? They’ve all winged their way down to ol’ El Paso, Texas, AKA ‘boot capital of the world’, for some fine-fittin’ custom cowboy boots. To the uninitiated, the number of bootmakers doing business way out in west Texas can be as daunting as the number of styles available. Do you go to showy custom studios, authentic vaquero hole-in-the-walls, factories or big-name outlets? No need to get your lasso in a knot - we’ve put together a primer to help.

scams in China

I heard an American girl excitedly telling her tour group in Beijing’s Silk Market. Aaaah! She was ruining it for the rest of us! I wanted to tell her that she hadn’t saved 7,800 RMB with her amazing bargaining skills.

8000 RMB is the price for some faceless dumb tourist… if you let the vendor’s starting price influence your assessment of the product’s worth, you are the overpaying idiot.

India is the seventh largest country by geographical area, the second most populous country in the World with over 1.12billion people. 70% of this population live in rural areas while the other 30% although in recent decades migration to larger cities has led to a dramatic increase in the country’s urban population.
