Australia's six greatest non-capital cities
The wide-open spaces, the glaring absence of traffic jams, the laidback lifestyle with most of the trappings of the big smoke but on a smaller scale.
Some places shine at certain times of the year. Japan during cherry blossom season, Paris in spring, Aspen in the snow. New York's moment is now.
While waiting to disembark, an overeager passenger, trying to remove their overhead bag, dropped it right on my head.
The museum began as just a few pop-up spaces in the airport but now houses 40-plus exhibits.
You don't visit a French market just to shop, so what's the hurry? Enjoy the aromas, the warmth of the sun and the sense of community and camaraderie.
The island of Penang floats in the Strait of Malacca like a Chinese junk tethered to peninsula Malaysia. The capital George Town offers a heady, multicultural mix along with a UNESCO World Heritage-listing for its heritage buildings.
