Country : Egypt
Beware & cautious of what your tourist guide is telling you. Your guide may tell you that a specific store he/she is taking you to is a "government" store and that prices are fixed. That is a lie. There are NO government souvenir stores. This is ploy some guides use to get the tourists to pay first asked price and be comfortable with it. Know that anywhere your guide takes you to shop, the guide will be taking up to a 50% commission off your purchase. When it comes time to tip your guide, you may want to consider how much of the tip you want him/her to have has already been paid in commissions

Country : Cuba
When traveling to Cuba do not buy cigars off the street or beach, there is a very slim chance that you will get the real cigar maybe 1 in a 1000! Most likely you will be getting fake cigars made with homemade tobacco leaves, tobacco crumbs or even banana leaves and they are really bad quality they not only taste awful they could even make you sick! Save yourself the trouble and get your cigars at the authorized stores, at least you will get the real Cuban cigar taste that you will enjoy. The most popular fakes you will find are the Cohiba Esplendido. It just so happens that this cigar is made by only a handful of employees in Cuba so the chances of them being “real” are even slimmer, and they NEVER existed in a glass top humidor either!!

City : Rome
When in Rome...A few places I think that you will really want to see. The Colosseum, it is on eof the most amazing things I have ever seen before. You just get hit with this crazy energy as soon as you walk in through the gates. It is beautiful and so much is still alive there it truly is amazing. Remember to lick the wall for good luck. Also, I think you shoudl see the "Under Ground City", another amazing site, it is where the Gladiators used to stay while they were fighting in the Colosseum. It is amazing that it was so long ago and there is still so much left of it. I hope you all enjoy your stay if or when you do go. It truly is a breath taking trip.

City : Barcelona
Make sure you buy the Barcelona card, it is a discount card which can get you to a number of sights at lower price. The biggest advantage of the card is that you can get free transport including complete use of the Barcelona Metro. It also gets you free public transport from the airport so it makes sense to get the card before you actually arrive at Barcelona.

Can we strike a business deal? I am the product owner with so many interesting attractions to offer and you are the agent. Can we make it happen? Wanna send someone on a familiarisation trip to my country to be in a better position to market my country. I am most willing to strike any deal with you so long as you provide me with American tourists. Tourism growth has been so rapid recently and my country with alot of financial boosting from the National Government. I am an officer from the National Tourism Office that is responsible for marketing tourism products and policy implementation. I hope to hear from you soon.

City : New York
I have stayed at the New York Palace three times...never on my dime. Would not recommend it unless you want to spend an excessive amount of money for a regular room. Just stayed there this December. Room was $750.00 for Saturday night. The location is great, right in midtown but you can get a lot more bang for your buck at competing hotels in NYC. I will say that the hotel is first-class all the way and is old money New York really fit for high society. One last comment, the front desk lady was really short with us and rude. Considering the money you have to spend to stay there, I would think that they should be smiling and sweet.

Region : Kerala
If you are planning to go to Kerela for Ayurveda treatments or rejuvenation therapy, monsoon is the best time, the atmosphere is dust free and cool thereby opening the pores of the body and making it most receptive to the herbal oils and therapies.
