The Northern Lights, Salten, Norway

This is an awesome time lapse video of the Northern Lights over one night! They are a true phenomenon, and a spectacular sight! This video shows them off very well, but to see them in real life and witness the magnitude of such an amazing 'show', is a sight anyone interested in natural beauty should aim to behold.

The traveler was active; he went strenuously in search of people, of adventure, of experience. The tourist is passive; he expects interesting things to happen to him. He goes 'sightseeing'.

The Best Sushi In The World, Tokyo, Japan

This looks like a perfect sushi dining experience (3 Michelin stars). It really makes me want to visit Tokyo! It really seems like there is a gold mine of hidden treasures all over Japan. Hopefully I will be there soon!!

Renting a car and lapping the Nürburgring, Germany

This looks like a huge amount of fun, although I would be slightly scared that I would end up on a wipe out compilation of people who have written off sports cars on this track!

I will have to give it a go, I always thought I could be a racing car driver :-)

This article gives interesting perspectives on Tubing in Vang Vieng, Laos.

It looks at the social and economic impact that this activity has on the travellers that visit the area, the local residents some of that benefit, and also the others that are harmed by the presence of this activity.

I have been tubing and will blog about my experience in the coming days, needless to say I am sure that most people who come back from there will agree it is a pretty crazy place!

You define a good flight by negatives: you didn't get hijacked, you didn't crash, you didn't throw up, you weren't late, you weren't nauseated by the food. So you are grateful
