Walk into a New York coffee shop or snack bar and order a hamburger. First it will appear at the speed of light; second, the chances are it will be twice as big as anything you have ever seen between two buns and third, it will probably come with tempting fresh salads, sauces or pickles on the side. It may cost twice as much as its European imitations, but it will be more than twice as good and twice as large. And that’s special of American cooking. Americans think big and eat big. A typical breakfast menu will offer fruit juices, coffee and two eggs any style with bacon, ham, sausages, chops or griddle cakes with mapple syrup. Toast and jelly (jam) follows with as much coffee you can drink. It is impossible to generalize about lunch and dinner menus. Salads, seafood, chicken and of course, steaks, all rub shoulders on the average menu. Do not order a porterhouse steak unless you are really hungry. With steaks you will appreciate American baked potatoes; slit and with butter, sour cream, chopped bacon or chives added. Other American favorite snacks include hot dogs, clams, cheeseburgers and Southern fried chicken. Almost everywhere you choose to eat in America, you will be impressed by the cleanliness of American restaurants and snack bars and with the overall attention to service. You will receive either a glass or pitcher of iced water while you are studying the menu. Out in the American heartland you can always rely on the famous franchised restaurant chains like Howard Johnson’s, where the standards of cooking and ingredients are dependably even. Another American exclusive is the drive-in restaurant. Just pull up in the parking lot and a waiter or waitress clips a table onto your car windowsills and serves light meals and snacks. The enormous number of European, Mexican, Japanese and Chinese restaurants. Certain parts of the US offer some noteworthy cuisine; New England lobsters, Appalachian hog jowl, spicy Southern creole dishes and Southwestern chili con carne, to name but a few.

With its depencies – the Isle of Pines, the Loyalty, Chesterfield and Huon Islands – New Caledonia covers 7,335 square miles. It was Captain Cook, that avid Pacific tourist, who called this South Sea island New Caledonia when on it in 1774. But, in fact, its resemblance to its rugged Scottish namesake is in name only Encircled by a coral reef, the second largest in the world, and fanned by warm trade winds that give the air a special luminosity, this sunny island is also known as L’Ile de Lumiere, or Island of Light. New Caledonia has an ideal climate, long white beaches, fascinating marine life, unusual birds such as the flightless cagou, which barks, giant fern forests, purple bougainvillea, and some of the biggest nickel mines in the world.

Geographically Malaysia is two places – the Malay Peninsula and the Northwestern area of Borneo. In human terms however, it is a whole collection of fasciating places – deep impenetrable jungle; the rubber plantations and a life still haunted by the ghosts of Somerset Maugham novels; the marvellous sandy and secluded beaches and rugged mountains topped with cool hill stations that seem to have been shipped from England complete with pubs, bungalows, pine and misty golf courses. There are the great dredges stripping the land of tin; fine bustling cities of mosques, temples and modern buildings; hot streaming ports where you can relive the world of Conrad, of rusty steamers plying for rubber, tin, timber and pepper; the villages of the Sea Dayaks with houses on long stilts. There are Malays and Chinese, Tamil, Kadazans, Muruts, Dayaks, Sea Dayaks and Europeans, all with independent traditions yet bustling together to make this one of the richest and most colorful countries in Southeast Asia.

Althogh near to the equator, Malaysia does not suffer extremes of heat. Days are sunny and humid, the nights reasonably cool. Monsoon weather affects most of the country during the winter: Sarawak and Sabah can be very wet between November and January. The best time to visit is March to October.

Excursions out of Athens Greece Greek Parthenon Travel Posters

Visit the 11th century convent of Daphni which contains superb mosaics, on the road Eleusis, and the Byzantine monastery and gardens of Kaisariani on the slopes of Mount Hymettus. Marathon, where the Athenians defeated the Persians, is 28 miles north east of Athens and at the southern tip of of Attica visit Cape Sounion for its spectacular white temple of Posedion overlooking the sea. A longer excursion can be made by car, train or bus in one day to the major sites of the Peloponnese. Nauplia, the former capital, is a pleasant little port with an old Venetian port. Epidaurus was the center of the cult of Aesculapius, the God of Healing; you will see the vast temple and the largest, best preserved theater in Greece, with marvellous acoustics. Corinth has the remains of a temple of Apollo and the fountain of Pierene springing from high up on Acro-Corinth, a huge crusader castle. Mycenae is probably Greece’s most important archeological site and the fabled home of Agamemnon. The treaures unearthed there are now in the National Archeological Museum in Athens, but you can still climb up through the famous Lion Gate to the underground beehive tombs. In the Southern Peloponnese is Diros, a beautiful bay in the Gulf of Messinia, with sea caves and prehistoric cave paintings.

Vicenza with its fine Palladian villas, and Palladio’s last work, the Teatro Olimpico is less than 40 miles from Venice. Verona has one of the best preserved Roman amphitheaters in the world (where operas and concerts are still held in the summer months, in the arena which comfortably seats 25,000 spectators) plus many wonderful medieval buildings, plus a fabuluously wealthy Museum of Art and a 15th century house on a via Cappello where Juliet s supposed to have lived. She is alleged to be buried on the Campo della Fiera. Stay at hotels Colomba d’Oro (via Cattaneo); or Due Torri (Piazza Sant’ Anatasia), San Pietro (Via Volto San Luca). Padua is certainly worth a visit. See Donatello’s famous Gattemelata statue outside the Basilica of Saint Antonio, other works inside and Giotto’s frescoes in the Scrovegni Chapel.
