48 hours in Mackintosh's Glasgow
Article Abstract:
The city of Glasgow, Scotland, spreads out a long way on each side of the Clyde. However, the city centre is quite compact, being enclosed on the south by the river and on the north and west by the M8 motorway. The best location for bed and breakfast accommodation is around Renfrew Street. Attractions include the Glasgow School of Art, the Willow Tea Rooms, created by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Rogano's, an Art Deco bar/restaurant, and House for an Art Lover, a mansion designed by Mackintosh.

Time to indulge the yen to travel
Article Abstract:
There are currently some very attractive deals available to Britons wishing to travel to Japan. The economic downturn in Japan is reducing the number of Japanese visiting the UK, but the opposite trend is being seen with Britons visiting Japan. Tourists in Japan find that the country offers a very clean, safe environment. It is particularly worth purchasing the Japan Rail Pass, which allows one week's travel on the country's bullet trains and local services for only 130 pounds sterling.
