Discover Some of Europe's Most Unusual Drinking Spots

By Steve Alexander


Whether it's a local favourite or relatively famous pub, we've put together a list of some of the most one-of-a-kind spots to grab a drink. After all, European cities are loaded with many nooks and crannies filled with interesting, off-the-beaten-track bars and pubs.

Founded by a doctor from a local hospital in 1798, Amsterdam's Cafe de Dokter looks as if not a lot of it has been changed since. The same family has run the pub for six generations. It is located near the Amsterdam Historic Museum and the Spui and is famously anti-dusted since the owner's mother gave up years ago, which has left the pub's ceiling, doorways and old doctor's decorations covered in soft cobwebs.

The place has an almost eerie feel to it, its dark wood, yellow lighting and aforementioned cobwebs making you feel almost as if the good Doctor himself may sit down for a glass of wine with you at any moment.

If you want to enjoy your wine with a more intellectual, bohemian experience, you'll get something a bit different from your average Roman wine bar by visiting Rome's Barbook on the Via dei Reti. The bar offers entertainment alongside the glamour and discussion on Italy's greatest novelist, with a DJ on hand Fridays and Saturdays. You'll also have your pick of off the wall retro arty books to choose from while you sit at the long communal table with a glass of wine.

Ruby's in Copenhagen might be right up your ally if you're looking for a hidden, exclusive-like night out. The only sign is the country's flag flying above the door of the bar, tucked away in the Georgian Embassy. After knocking on the door, you'll be able to enter the old bank vault that's filled with velvet armchairs and taxidermy, giving you a more sophisticated escape from the cold Danish streets. Ruby's was also ranked one of the 50 best bars in the world, so don't just take our word for it.

How To Do Australia on the Cheap!

By Jonny Blair


Who told you Australia was expensive? Someone that didn't do it on the cheap like me...

I've lost track of how many people that have told me that Australia is an expensive place to travel. They must be living the luxury lifestyle if that's the case. Australia, if anything was one of the cheapest places I have ever travelled round, so much so that I made bucketloads of money when I was there, indeed enough to take 4 months off work. People, and particularly young backpackers are clearly going to the wrong spots, or perhaps ill-informed, badly prepared or simply spending money in the wrong way. Here's 12 reasons to prove the myth wrong, all from my own experience of living in Australia.

1. Sleeping - Although hostels are great, take a break from them. Don't be spending your entire time in hostels getting drunk! Camping is the best option for travelling cheap in Australia. A tent can be bought for $15 - 20 and some nights you will camp out for free. Make it your home for the next few months as you "backpack" round the land down under. Most campsites have toilets and showers, lots of them are even close to places where you can get part time/temporary jobs.

2. Eating - If you really want to eat out, head to pubs that have $10 steaks and similar offers. They often also give you a beer or a soft drink as part of the offer. A useful hint I used while in Australia is checking out pubs or bars that offer cheap big meals and monitor the times they apply. I noticed that most of them are around lunchtime - that's when they have the most specials. Come on it's hardly a big deal to transfer your biggest meal of the day from dinner to lunch. You can easily just eat cereals and toast for breakfast. And you're a backpacker so don't be afraid to head into Hungry Jacks or McDonalds for a cheap breakfast. Hungry Jacks also offer unlimited refills on drinks - so why not take your flask in and top it up? They're won't chase you out you're a paying customer. McDonalds also offers free wi-fi. You can always fall back on good old vegemite sandwiches! One of my favourites!

3. Transport - First things first - travel overland! I spent around 2 years living in Australia and I didn't once fly internally. Book Greyhound buses and book them early if you know your dates, or even better meet up with others, buy a car (or share the cost of buying a car) and make it your home - you can sleep in it and live in it - buy a gas cooker, a battery pack and a wireless internet pre paid USB stick and suddenly you have everything you need. You get a job more easily if you have a car, you can soon earn enough to cover what the car cost you and you can also share lifts to save money on petrol. Make sure if you are getting a long distance Greyhound bus get it at night as you'll save money on accommodation (simple obvious tips are the best). Use notice boards and online backpack websites and groups to arrange transport with others and broaden your options.

4. Get some kind of a Working Visa - I don't understand travellers that are able to get a working holiday visa for Australia but yet they don't buy it. The number of travellers I met in the land down under that say things like "we only plan to stay for a few months so we're not planning to work" and then they follow it with "this place is expensive", so why didn't you get some kind of a working visa then?! Do it - even by working for a week or two in Australia can earn you over 1000 Australian Dollars.

5. Entrance Fees - Again it sounds obvious but don't be paying entry into places - there are loads of FREE things to see and do in Australia. Hiking for one, some amazing landscapes to see, beaches (completely free), fancy dress parties (make your own costumes for free), museums are often also free entry (including the amazing War Memorial in Canberra), as is walking across Sydney Harbour Bridge. If you want to see Koalas and Kangaroos - these can all be done for free. Kennet River on the Great Ocean Road is a decent spot for Koala watching at sunrise. Kangaroos and wallabies are hard to miss.

6. Coupons, vouchers, tokens - The amount of travellers I met who never bother picking up those brochures, fliers etc. that lurk in bus stations, airports, pubs, hostels, tourist information centres etc. - I kept picking up these brochures and finding money off coupons, savings on tours etc. Bars often even give out a free beer to entice you in - go in, take your free beer and leave.

7. Buy Value Brands - Value brands such as those available in Woolworths and Coles are worth buying. The quality of the food and drink is really not that much worse than the top brands to be honest and yu can live a healthy and stable eating lifestyle by buying the cheap stuff.

8. Nightclubs after 10pm - did you really go to Australia just to attend expensive nightclubs? I certainly didn't! You'll notice that after 9 or 10 pm (especially on weekends) the prices of drinks go up. Seriously to all those backpackers in Australia - get yourself a carryout, a box of goon and some tinnies and sit with your new found friends.

9. Internet - I also met a couple of guys in Brisbane moaning about the price of the internet. I never once paid to use internet in Australia. Leave facebook alone until you really need it. What do you think travellers did 20 years ago before the likes of facebook? Exactly! Get to meet people in the hostels and campsites and hang out with them. I went 5 weeks without being online when I was in Tasmania. I had some experiences and travel tales in that time that I wouldn't have got sitting on facebook! If you really, really insist on using internet in Australia at least be clever about it - maximise your usage of it when you have it for free in a hostel while you have it. The next campsite or hostel may not have it or may charge for it. If all else fails, bring a small laptop with you and buy the cheapest coffee in McDonalds and sit and use their free wifi (free all over Australia and normally for about 20 minutes).

10. Hold back on booking things early. Plans in Australia always change so don't be booking tours or hostels in other towns or cities that you expect to be in in a few weeks time. You might change your plans and have already paid a deposit. Go with a free spirit and enjoy it!

11. Laundry - The obvious is to wear the same clothes over and over again, and hand wash them. Done that myself manys a time. If you really feel the need to use laundry - get 2-3 cotton buds on sticks and stick them in the coin slots in the machines to get free laundry. Most of you reading will know this trick. A well known travellers "secret".

12. Fake Being a student - Things suddenly become cheaper when you show a student card. Who cares if it's real or not? Aussies are so laid back, they'll be happy of your money (even at a discount rate) so don't fret and get a fake one done!

Honestly, folks this might sound like a bit of a rant and in many ways it is, BUT I just really want to let people know that Australia is a magnificent country and a great place to go. And it's cheap if you know what you're doing!! Those are just a few of my tips - there are tons more ways to save money.

Go to Australia, economise, live cheap and love it. You'll probably have better fun than those you don't and come away moaning about the price of the wonderful land down under.

Travelling And Bed Bugs: The Link Travellers Overlook

By Helen Price


Are you fond of travelling? Have you just come home from a two-month holiday in mainland Asia, sleeping in buses and trains while hopping from temples to rivers to mountains to beaches, doing things most people will simply dream about doing while stuck in their office cubicles? Well, most will agree you are living an enviable life, because truth be told, nobody will probably choose the morning city traffic over an easygoing early morning in a remote island.

But then you go home and realise that you have taken with you far more than you have bargained for. Aside from the memories and countless photos, you may have taken home bed bugs for souvenirs as well. And this is true for individuals who are always in transit. Sleeping in hostels, inns, dormitories, sleeper buses, and trains poses travellers to bed bugs and other pests which tend to cling to clothing and backpacks, carried around until homestretch.

Bed bugs, like all other pests, are a nuisance to daily life, causing itch and irritation to the skin. Thankfully however, the problem on bed bugs is easily solved with effective pest control. Pest management professionals can ably eradicate bed bugs and prevent them from breeding by looking at infected spots of your home and surrounding areas and disinfecting their breeding grounds. Pest Control In Singapore entails a highly technical process, not the least since it involves chemicals not anybody can administer. This means that as soon as you discover an infestation, do not take it upon yourself to eliminate them, spraying random chemicals that are not made for bed bug eradication to begin with.

As soon as you get rid of them, you have to assure that you at least minimise their recurrence, particularly from any of your planned travels in the future. To effectively do this, you need to take a bit more caution as to where you put your belongings when you're out travelling. Bed bugs cling to fabric, and the last thing you have to do is stow your backpack and clothes on the floor and just about any random corner of your hostel. Keep them inside your backpack instead, or maybe hang them where they are less likely exposed.

Once you reach home, it is best to empty your backpack someplace else besides your bed or bedroom and put it into the laundry for washing. Wash the clothes you have worn in transit separately from the others. It is also advisable to wash all other clothes, even those you didn't end up using during your trip. It is also recommended to clean cloth pouches because these are as vulnerable as any article of clothing you own.

The hotel's proximity to transportation is also important when weighing down the best choice. It is advisable to consider whether the hotel is near at major transportation options. Find out what can you use as a means of transportation when you decide to stay at the hotel. Check whether shuttles or taxis are readily available.

Before you choose any hotel package, review carefully what is concluded and find out whether or not it's good enough for you. In addition to that, before you book in a hotel it is advisable to check the reviews of the hotel. This way you have opinions from previous customers rather than relying on what you can see on their website.
