Kindergarten in Russia
The creaking elevator dinged shut. I pressed the first-floor button. The lift slid wobbling unstably downward from my small apartment on the thirteenth floor. It was early in the morning, at least for a Saturday – 7am. I had to work on Saturdays. I had to work on Sundays, too; I worked every day other than Friday. The elevator again dinged again as the doors slid open. I put my head down and paced hurriedly out of the building.

Vegas, Family Style
When you work in education, there is a small window between summer school and the start of the regular school year that I get to run a muck with my boys. Both boys were born in September so it makes it all the better to take advantage of my time off and theirs to celebrate their birthdays early with a mini vacation.

Benidorm-The Ultimate Club Guide
Travel & Tourism The Costa Blanca has been a huge destination for tourists from Britain and further afield for decades. Resorts from Alicante to Benidorm specialize in sun, sea, sand, and good times, with everything from winding cobbled streets filled with the sizzle of tapas in the Old Town, to three Blue Flag beaches and some world-class resort hotels. But when the sun goes down, the place comes into its own. Late-night cocktails and live entertainment are the order of the day, and the party doesn’t stop till everyone goes home. One thing Benidorm does better than anywhere else in the area is dance music. Hardcore and house are everywhere, with global DJs visiting throughout the summer. So where do you check out first? Here are a few of our picks for the best nights from Alicante to Benidorm. Something tells me this is going to be a fun one… KM Disco Three floors, twelve bars, and an on-site pool draw 5,000 punters most weekends – with even more in the summer. Judge Jules is a regular attraction, as are the legendary foam parties at this Benidorm institution. Explore the extensive premises or join everyone else on the dance floor for an unforgettable night of house music. Club Mansion If you like your hardcore and have a Saturday night to spare (the only night this Benidorm behemoth tends to open), then join 5,000 other party pilgrims in the cavernous main room of the Mansion. The atmosphere is raw, the music is powerful, and the crowd tends to be young, so the energy levels are unparalleled. They offer several ticket types, but the one that gets you in with three drinks for €20 is the best to pick. Club Ku The cream of local and international talent from Roger Sanchez to Bob Sinclair and that man Jules again throng each year to possibly the best-looking club in the town, a stone’s throw from Levante Beach. Work up a sweat in the main room, then chill out on the spacious grounds, or cool off in the outdoor pool. They’ve also just added a second room if you fancy a change from the typical house soundtrack to something more techno or minimal… Or something more unusual. Club Penelope The Spanish are a fun-loving people. There’s now a Club Penelope in most Spanish cities, but here’s where it all began in 1983. Club bangers and deeper houses predominate here. If you prefer a higher-end clubbing experience, the best-dressed and hottest crowds are to be found right here. No expense has been spared with the white and neon décor – and you may even see a La Liga footballer or two if you’re here on the right night. How to Get There In less time than it takes for the train from London to Manchester, you can hop on a flight with almost every major airline from EasyJet to Ryanair (or BA if you can’t bear to slum it) that’ll get you straight to Alicante. To Benidorm is a 40-minute drive. Shuttle Direct offer a shuttle bus service that’ll get you there with a minimum of hassle, or a personalized chauffeur service door to door from Alicante to Benidorm. Get there, get on it, then get it on Insta – especially if you run into Iker Casillas in the smoking area. Author Plate Lukas, Johannes is a driver for Shuttle Direct, the number one provider of shared and private airport transfers all over Europe and northern Africa. If you’re looking for the most affordable ride from Alicante to Benidorm, Lukas and his colleagues can make sure that you and your luggage get to and from the airport swiftly and safely.

Post Apocalypse
I’ve escaped my room to roam under the rich blue sky. Just like me, everyone in the city has fled to the lake whilst the sun is still out. I feel like shouting ‘spring is here!’ because I am just so overjoyed that it decided to come along after all. It arrived out of nowhere, which I think I notice every single year and yet still somehow stay amazed by it every time the new season rolls around. Well, it’s different this year anyway.

On The Road: Sleeping Outdoors, First Attempts
I guess I am feeling a slight anxiety, and that’s maybe because I’ve never done this before, never gone on a trip like this—with just a bike, a hammock, and two outfits. It’s a bit of a stretch, but that’s how it's supposed to be.

Thailand travel notes
Let the journey happen and you have the sun that lights up the night. Every time you travel, you may go to a place several times with different people and for different reasons, but there will always be some key words in the memories you have that make your journey very different from others. I never like to mention a travel destination and always think "go there in a few years", because it always will be indefinite. After the outbreak of the epidemic, the lack of time for overseas travel made me realize that, fortunately, I moved with my heart before. Recently, I learned about the current situation in Chiang Mai from a local traveler I met before. The current situation is indeed worrying. Eighty percent of the stores in the ancient city have collapsed. The original 32,000 baht rented storefront is now 10,000 but still have no one rents. Many people in the tourism industry have lost their jobs to deliver food. This year, there are no paid sky lantern festivals and parades, and the markets are bleak and unpopular. Teresa Teng's song "When Will You Come Again" was sung in the past and today, it is really very different.
