Of the more than 60 islands that make up Singapore, Pulau Ubin is said to be among the most cherished by Singaporeans. Unlike other major islands of the city-state, it is still home to thriving nature and a small number of people who continue to live the rural lifestyle that reminds visitors of what much of the republic was like half a century ago.

The so-called Green Season is upon us in Phuket, a marketer’s name for the rainy season if ever I heard one! Do those marketing Johnnies really think that by not mentioning the dreaded words “rainy, monsoon, wet” and so on that they can fool everyone into believing that we don’t get just the occasional drenching at this time of year?

Traditionally an engagement ring of sufficient value to show your commitment to a future partner was deemed to cost three months’ pay. Yikes! Well, prepare to ‘level up’ to entice your loved one to accept your romantic advances.

Koh Lanta is about four hours’ drive south from the bridge off Phuket and when I first visited the island back in 2004, just before the tsunami, I described it as “Paradise Postponed” in several articles I wrote.

On a recent weekend my family and I decided to make a day trip to a familiar hot-spring resort located just in Phang Nga province, north of Phuket.

I am by no means original in my thoughts regarding the ability to travel through time on a bicycle. The Victorian novelist HG Wells was a tremendous bicycle lover to whom the quote, “Whenever I see an adult on a bicycle, I do not despair for the future of the human race” is often attributed.

What better way to see Spain than a 900-kilometre walk right across it in one go, covering five exotic provinces, starting from St Jean in France and finishing at Finesterre on the Atlantic by way of Santiago? I am referring to the Camino de Frances, The Way of St James or the Camino de Santiago, as it is variously referred to. Camino is Spanish for path.
