Traveller's tales
Article Abstract:
Australia is gaining immense popularity as an ideal travel destination among Asians. The continent has served as an ideal location for people interested in pursuing educational degrees and low cost medical care. Most notable among all Australian cities is Perth, which possesses a culture that is a unique blend of both European and American. Located along the Swan River with a population of about 1.2 million, Southeast Asians have grown to appreciate the allure of the area mainly due to its Anglo-Saxon culture.

Traveller's tales
Article Abstract:
Peking, China is a beautiful city despite its nontraditional architecture. Trees and other features associated with the Western urban ideal are lacking but the city remains an example of heroic urbanism. The city serves as a congregation point for its inhabitants and as an urban expression of an agrarian civilization. Zhongnanhai, which has been likened to emperors' palaces of the past, is but a fitting seat of government for a nation of over 1 billion people.

Traveller's tales
Article Abstract:
Foreign observers and self-anointed Indophiles have always characterized India as a traditional land trapped in the past. However, current conditions in Tamil Nadu state provide a glimpse of the modern India. The chief minister of the state is Jayalalitha, a former movie actress and member of the Brahmin caste. Ironically, she also presides over the Dravidians, an incarnation of the anti-Brahmin nationalist movement of the 1930s.
