Wednesday, July 01, 2009Wonders of Wulingyuan
Commonly referred to by its main attraction Zhangjiajie, the Wulingyuan Scenic Area stuns visitors with its vastness and its forests of soaring stone columns.
Underneath the muck
It was a tour like no other for a team of volunteers who journeyed into the Asian heartland to restore age-old Buddhist paintings .
Do you have what it takes?
THE Kham Aid Foundation website provides a guide on what to expect for those who sign up as volunteer art conservators. Although no experience is needed for the wall paintings conservation tasks, volunteers should be “educated, caring and patient”.
Journey of discovery
A group of adventurous volunteers took the route less travelled, and was greatly enriched by the experience.

The island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean may be tiny, but boy, is it diverse and vibrant.
Big blue paradise
The saying “small is beautiful” rings true in Indonesia’s Bunaken Marine Park where it’s the little critters of the sea that get all the attention from the divers.
The resort that defines luxury diving
Just 30km south of Manado, on the quiet, jungly southern edge of the Bunaken Marine Park lies the award-winning Minahasa Lagoon Resort. The motto here is quality over quantity. And with just 15 chalets, the German owner and friendly staff are intent on giving you their full attention.
Mail Bag
Land of smiles
The immigration at Schipol Airport Amsterdam most certainly warmed the hearts of the Malaysians trooping into the chilly arrival hall that day. Entry into the Netherlands was processed with remarkable speed.
