Valentine’s Day is a great excuse for couples to go off on a break. But spas and slow days by the beach just aren’t some couples’ cup of tea. That’s why writer Mina Sunico presents you with an alternative spin for getting away on the day of hearts, on page 34 — with options for daring adventures and not your usual mushy stuff.
Dancing has always been a way to fan the flames of love. But who knew it could even help keep marriages from falling apart? Sarah Woods discovers how Taipei’s lively dance scene has lowered the divorce rate in Sway Together, Stay Together (page 60).
With more flights from Clark to Bangkok, our feature on quirky dining places in the Thai capital on page 44 will have you wanting to get on the next CEB plane for a serious food fest. Ana Santos shows you five places to get your fill there.
First-time visitors to Osaka will definitely find Dotonbori and Shinsaibashi in almost all travel books. Well, writer Trevor Mogg explores a part of the city that’s hardly been written about. Shinsekai, albeit being a bit seedy, can be an adventurer’s playground if you set out with the right mindset. His piece on page 52, Shinsekai Adventure, provides an alternative tour through the city that will likely appeal to travelers who prefer less touristy locales. The other advantage? Everything is much cheaper here.
In all matters — whether it be love or otherwise — it’s all about finding your match. For some, a little feng shui may do the trick: In Your Element (page 69) is Claire Miranda’s guide to the perfect vacation based on your zodiac element.
Wishing you fantastic journeys in Februrary and March!
