Exploring Basque Country
I love Spain. Barcelona, Madrid, Grenada, the white villages of Andalusia, all well-travelled tourist haunts I admit but well worth the aggravation. Until recently, I had never been to northern Spain and in particular to Basque country. As I soon discovered, Basque country is very different from the rest of Spain. The climate is more temperate, the scenery is greener and hillier and the area is officially bilingual.

Shad Thames
Walking along Shad Thames is like stepping into the history books. I like this area because the old warehouses have been transformed into a highly desirable location. Plus, you can step away from the hustle and bustle of the surrounding area near Tower Bridge. I've been coming here since I was invited to the old Design Museum for a meeting many moons ago. After my meeting, I admired a little world in a busy metropolis.

How to Find Accommodation in Vietnam: A Complete Guide
Housing Options: From Apartments to Villas 😊 You can find accommodation in Vietnam to suit all tastes and budgets. A one-room apartment in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City can cost from $200 to $500 per month, depending on the neighborhood and condition. It is often possible to rent an apartment where there is a swimming pool on the roof of the building and a gym on the first floor. Cleaning twice a week is also often included, but these apartments will cost more.
