World’s Smallest Hotel Coming in London
Forget fancy large hotels with hundreds of visitors, the Visit London says. This is a chance to live in the world’s tiniest hotel ever, only 29ft by 7ft airstream caravan that moves between famous London landmarks. The hotel providers a dedicated concierge service, check-in desk, room service, flat screen TV, and a double bed.
While it’s nice to wake up in a new place every morning, I’m not sure if I’d be comfortable with a moving bed, especially when you’re fighting sleep-disorder. But it is an experience anyways that is opening this month. click here for more details.

Short & Sweet: Atlantis The Palm Hotel is one of the brand new and most luxurious hotels in Dubai, built over the sea, opened in September 2008 in a ceremony that cost, despite of the crisis, $16M, with total of 100,000 fireworks, around seven times that of Beijing 2008 opening. I’m not sure whether it’s wise to thank the crisis, but a night for two in such a luxurious hotel can be reached for approximately $400 in this January. Not bad at all. And you’ll get to try out the leap of faith water slide, rising along 200 ft at an incline of 84 degrees.

Try attending soccer games on your next trip
During my last business trip to Amsterdam, I tried something different for a change. I looked up the upcoming Dutch league soccer matches, and to my delight, it was the big match between Ajax and Feyenoord. This is one of four high-risk Ajax matches, and what that basically means is ten times the excitement, if things go well. And lucky me, the match was just the next day after my conference, that all I had to do now was to get a ticket.
Now the problem with top soccer games is tickets are usually expensive, and hard to get. On my first day in Amsterdam, I took a tour around the Ajax Amsterdam ArenA, where they would take you around the stadium, explain about the facilities and history of it, and you get to walk into the press conference room, and set on the very same chair top Ajax players have been in. It was a quite joy.
The let down however was when I knew only season ticket holders are allowed to get a ticket for the big match. Now when you find yourself out of luck getting tickets directly from the club, there are other places to look for. Good amount of people end up selling their ticket online (for a higher margin ofcourse), and you can usually find the ticket you’re looking for. One such site is Sports Events 365, where people offer their tickets usually for a profit margin.
The experience for me turned out to be the highlight of my trip, especially with the thrashing 5-1 victory of the home team. I would really advise anyone (not just soccer fans) to try it out. It’s a bit costly yes, but it’s once in a while thing, and would give a memory that lasts.
Guidelines:
- Find the match you want: Start by looking at the soccer schedule from places like Soccerway or Koora.com. Or you can even use Sports Event 365, as they usually highlight the big games. Look for big games, rival matches, or decisive ones. Don’t just go to any ordinary game.
- Find your flight ticket (if you haven’t already). Dohop is a favorite place to start for me.
- Find your hotel. You can use our hotel price comparison search service for this, or any other that you might prefer. Just pay attention to how far you are from your match.
- Find your game ticket: You should try first booking from the official team site, or official league/cup site. If that doesn’t work, you’re off to find people selling their tickets at sites like Sports Events 365. Take care of the seat location. Some places are quite breathtaking, others aren’t worth your time and money. Luckily Sports Events usually tries to give you the seat location in a visual way. No guarantees though. It all depends on the seller’s provided info.
- Do a bit of research: You don’t wanna go to a match without knowing what the hell is going on. It’s more enjoyable of you know a bit about where the team stands, who are his top players, and what does this match mean to him.
- Get your self the Home Jersey: Don’t feel cheap about it. For one, you will meld and feel the joy of cheering up for the home team, and two, it’s also your insurance policy shall things get out of control. Fans would see you on their side rather than an intruder. I mean let’s face it, sometimes fans go mad
.
This was the last goal I recorded from the match.

Cape Town Stadium, Host of 2010 World Cup
This image of Cape Town stadium (from concierge 2010 It List) really caught my eyes and made me think. This is it. This is where all the heat is gonna take place. This place is gonna soon be packed with mad soccer fans from all over the world to see who goes home with the most precious prize of all. And yet, look at the surroundings. Such disparity that would you feel this photo’s been tampered with.
Nevertheless, Cape Town have for long been a marvelous tourist place, and this even will make it even more popular. You can take a look at what hotels they have here. Browse the hotel photos, and see how lovely the room can be with the beautiful clean beaches just outside your window.
