Experience Rajasthan’s Magical Vibrancy
Visiting Rajasthan in India is like going to a great open-air museum. As India’s largest state, it’s tremendously diverse. This is the India of people’s dreams-majestic palaces and rugged forts lie dotted across glittering desserts, wooded glades, and tranquil lakes. Rajasthan population exists both in sprawling modern cities like Jaipur or Udaipur, and in tiny villages where the customs and traditions of India’s romantic feudal era-the days of the Rajput-are carried out to this day.
Cape Town Street Art
What does Cape Town have in common with New York, Sao Paulo, Berlin, London and Paris? It may not appear as the obvious answer at first, but Cape Town joins these other cities as one of the world’s top destinations when it comes to graffiti or street art, as is fast becoming the preferred term. Traversing simple acts of vandalism and maturing into a fully fledged art form, street art is conscious of itself and its strength to communicate with people. For this reason street art, perhaps more than any other form of art, carries strong social and political messages. This is incredibly evident on the streets of Cape Town, which abound with striking pieces that are not only beautiful but also insightful and loaded with meaning. From political icons such as Nelson Mandela and Steve Biko, heroes of the struggle against apartheid, to works that highlight issues of social injustices such as the abuse of women and the gap between the poor and rich – very real issues that South Africa is struggling to come to terms with – Cape Town’s street art gives a voice to the voiceless and a forum for authentic expression in the urban wilderness.

Druids Glen Golf Resort – The Augusta of Europe
It’s widely believed that most golf courses in Ireland, Scotland and England are not as lavishly landscaped as many U.S. courses. There, hosts of seaside links courses draw their character and beauty from their setting and history. Druids Glen is not your traditional links course, in fact, it isn’t a links course at all. When compared to other premier British Isles and Irish golf courses, it is a mere infant.
