Together, we lived in Melbourne for a time, return often, and our friends and family are scattered around the country. The bushfires have been raging since...

How to get the most out of travelling
The thing is, it’s not all about the places you explore, but also how you get to each them. If you tried exploring say, 3 cities within a week, you might find yourself travelling for 4 days of that week. Enjoying your transport is so important to your experience and memories.
You may find yourself having a drink with locals on an overnight train to Prague, or you might indulge in luxury and travel by Private Jet to Germany and the whole world.

Music for a New Year
The turning of a year invites looking forward and looking back. The ancient Romans knew this, hence Janus, from whom January takes its name, faces in both directions. Seismic changes in all areas of life seem to be almost normal in these last years, which is certainly a looking-both-ways statement in itself.
To begin this new year, here are several pieces of music to help you consider living in such an age of change, and what may be learned.

By touring the permanent exhibit filled with artifacts and replicas, we learned about the 400 years of history from the Edo period to the present.
To enter into the Edo Zone, visitors...
