Here’s some great tips on traveling green in Europe. I can relate to this when I used to live in South Korea, I resorted to a really slow 125cc sportsbike to get through all the traffic, it’s a good thing I am still alive though.
| Scooters were the preferred mode of transportation in the narrow streets of Madrid and Seville, Spain, as well as Lisbon, Portugal. While there isn’t a helmet law, most riders sported helmets in the heavily congested city of Madrid. The upscale city also offers an easily accessible underground and affordable subway system. The Sunday that I visited Madrid, thousands of bicyclists swarmed the Paseo de la Castellana that had been closed to cars for the event. I watched from my club room at the Intercontinental as the bicyclists demonstrated their solidarity in demanding bike lanes for riders. Unfortunately, there is not much room to expand for bicycle lanes in downtown Madrid. |

Here’s a good review of the JW Marriott Hotel in South Korea.
| In 2007 I stayed at the JW Marriott Seoul for one night during a layover between Singapore and San Francisco. I had one frustrating experience but otherwise the stay was excellent. |

Check out these 12 amazing war monuments you can consider for your next travel planning.
| The Korean War Veterans Memorial was built in 1986 in Washington D.C. to honor members of the U.S. armed forces who served in the Korean War and viewed from the above it looks like a circle intersected by a triangle. The Field of Service (the triangle) is where visitors approach the monument for the first time and see the 19 stainless-steel statues representing ground troops on patrol. There is also a granite curb on the north side with the 22 countries of the United Nations that helped in South Korea, while on the south side there is a black granite polished wall. |
