From Geneva... A very big game of chess in the park 24 January 2013 By Luna Dizon I decided to walk through Geneva's Parc des Bastions just for a pleasant wander through some green.

From New Orleans... February's big party - Carnival 04 January 2013 By Luna Dizon This February, forget a romantic getaway for Valentines. February is carnival time! Every year in lots of countries around the world (though most famously in Brazil), the biggest party season is carnival season. Celebrations include colourful, feathered and sequinned costumes. There's dancing and music aplenty but most of all, carnival is about excess and a little (or perhaps a lot) debauchery. It can be a non-stop party that lasts for days - in Latin America, celebrations reach fever pitch. But if you can't get there, Europe can party hard too. Or if you're staying in the UK, you can eat pancakes... No Comments Leave a Comment Read Article 04 Jan
