To arrive here, visitors can use a variety of transportation, but if you really have time to spare, walking in the morning or afternoon from the Old City to the port will be interesting experience. Section along the way that many stories of survival and even a few still remain. Unfortunately, indeed, walking in this area is really not very comfortable. Except Sunday or holidays.

History says, the Tarumanegara Kingdom began used the airport around the 12 th century although it is estimated to already have in about 5 cetury. Sunda Kelapa is never quiet, this port is an important port until the European explorers arrived, and the Netherlands colonized more than 300 years.

Lounge in the airport is different, some offer food and drink that nice, with shower facilities, workplaces, and even massage service or playing a computer game that will help you pass the time. However, some have a bad service, or extra services provided only a comfortable chair and drink welcome. Choosing a lounge which will be used can be complex but it is very important for the comfort of your trip.

There is great misunderstanding in the travel industry, that is when you are told only to use the lounge of your airlines . Surely not so. You have more options rather than that during the time you think, if you travel as a gold card member of Star Alliance or One World.

For example, you travel as a gold card member of Royal Orchid Plus (Thai Airlines), which is a member of Star Alliance. During your journey using the Star Alliance airlines, you can use the lounge, a lounge that is under the Star Alliance. You do not have to use the lounge Thai Airlines airlines just because you are using the airlines. You can use the lounge-lounge owned by other airlines such as United, SAS, Air Canada, Lufthansa, Varig, Ansett Australia, Air New Zealand, All Nippon Airways, and of course the Thai Airlines.

All you need to do is submit a ticket boarding pass the day, the airline is a member of Star Alliance, your gold card, you are entering will be!

This opportunity will give you the option of extremes. For example, Thai Airlines lounge at Hong Kong International Airport is very cool and they provide a tasty dim sum in the morning, but the food in the afternoon the day is not so tasty, you can choose to use a lounge owned by United, which provides fruit and fresh cheese-cheese is delicious. United Lounge also features a computer is better and more knowledgeable.

Bordered by historic, Sir Francis Drake Channel, Tortola has a rich history of fishing, farming, sailing, pirates and privateers.

To navigate this mountainous terrain, drivers have a choice of two main roads, one following the mountain ridges and the other the coast with many smaller "tributaries" spilling off of these. The spectacular Ridge Road, with breathtaking views, follows the centre spine of the island, a mountainous area sloping off to Tortola's north shore known for its white sandy beaches and great surfing sites, such as Josiah's Bay, Apple Bay and Cane Garden Bay. The coastal road snakes along the outer perimeter of the southern shore connecting charming rural communities from the east and west ends of the island with Road Town in the centre.

Road Town is home to the beautiful J.R. O'Neal Botanic Gardens which wind through close to three acres of indigenous and exotic plants, trees and herbs. The capital is also brimming with restaurants, shops, and is the site for the hospital, government administration offices and official Governor's House with its historical museum. Just behind Waterfront Drive is Main Street, a peep into the B.V.I'.s architectural past, which still has many historic buildings and churches, charming cafes, and curio shops as well as the Virgin Islands Folk Museum.

With little desire for mass tourism, Virgin Gorda has remained an escape from the bustle associated with so many Caribbean islands. With her miles of serene and almost isolated beaches, Virgin Gorda provides a peaceful haven.

We can reach virgin Gorda by boat or ferry. We can observe the tall north western ridge area, which comprises Gorda Peak National Park (1,370 feet). It is easy from this vantage point to envision, the "plump damsel" reclining on her back. This is an island with many natural attractions, the most famous of these is The Baths - an area on the southern tip with giant boulders forming spectacular sea pools and grottoes. A favourite of snorkellers and sailors alike, it is now incorporated as a National Park, along with two exquisite white sand beaches, Devil's Bay and Spring Bay spanning either side of the boulders with a trail connecting both.

Spanish Town is the main business and financial centre and is flanked by Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbour, a major port for ferries and visiting yachts. The harbour has an array of gift and clothing shops, banks, provisioning markets and outdoor cafes. From here one can wind up a hill on a historical adventure and reach a landmark known as the Copper Mine. Early settlers from Cornwall, England set up a copper mining industry that flourished in the 1800s. The mine closed in 1862 but the ruins including the engine house and chimney are still visible and have been set up as a national park.

The northern reach of the island known as "the North Sound" is accessible by boat only. Here flanked by the smaller islands - Mosquito, Prickly Pear, Eustatia, Necker and tiny Saba Rock, are some of the islands' finest resorts and restaurants. This area is a Mecca for water sports whether it be windsurfing, kayaking, parasailing or the more extreme sport of kiteboarding - there is a little something for everybody. Ferries from Gun Creek run to all the major resorts.

India offers historical, adventure, medical , spiritual and beach holidays.

Most people know that India is one of the most culturally diverse countries on the world, and this couldn’t be more graphically illustrated than in its range of tourism options.

The country, which has the longest coastline in the Eastern sphere, has a history as an affordable destination for students and backpackers. However, over the past decade this has changed. India also offers top-class travel by rail, land and boat and has five-star hotels to match any in the world, as well as some of the most beautiful scenery on earth harmonising with a rich cultural heritage.

It was named “the travel destination of the new millennium” by its government tourism department, and Conde Nast recently ranked India among the top 10 tourist destinations in the world.

Surrounded by the sea on three sides and the Himalayas to the north, India is a travellers’ paradise.Visitors can divide their trip into its four areas – north, south, east and west.

In the first region, the capital Delhi has bazaars, fine restaurants and many historical sites that are architectural delights.

The north is home to the famed Golden Triangle of three cities, including Agra, where the famous Taj Mahal is located. One of the other cities, Jaipur, is in the desert lands of Rajasthan known as the Land of Kings. Epics about its medieval Rajput warriors are still sung by travelling minstrels.

Opulent palaces and ancient battle fortresses are scattered over the sandy hills. Also in the triangle is Fatehpur Sikri, a perfectly preserved medieval red sandstone ghost town, built by the Emperor Akbar.

The heart of India, Madhya Pradesh, has forests made famous by Rudyard Kipling in The Jungle Book.Also here, the Sikh Golden Temple in Amritsar welcomes people from all faiths.The temple is a magnifi cent shrine surrounded by white marble walls and a moat of holy water.

South India’s towns have many lovely temples, and in Pondicherry, the area’s French heritage is visible in the seaside villas and street names.The state of Kerala’s western coast is a green escape with beaches, historic port towns and pretty retreats.

For more beaches, head east. South-east from Calcutta’s imperial edifi ces, teeming markets, golf courses and museums are more than 300 islands in the Bay of Bengal. Visit Andaman and Nichobar for endless sandy beaches, a turquoise sea with colourful shimmering fish and dolphins and picturesque coral reefs.The clear waters are ideal for snorkelling and scuba diving.

Western India is home to Mumbai, the financial capital of India, which also has shopping arcades and art galleries. See the Gateway of India, built in 1911 to commemorate visiting King George V and Queen Mary. Not far from Mumbai is the hill resort of Mahabaleshwar, with lakes, waterfalls and a stunning landscape of wildflower meadows.

Apart from all these delights, India also offers something for adventurers. Its protected wilderness comes alive in 75 national parks and more than 420 sanctuaries, home to more than 350 mammals and 1200 bird species.

In Jim Corbett National Park, in the foothills of the Himalayas, wild elephants, leopards, gharials, langurs, rhesus macaques, peacock and several types of deer live.Tigers and rhinoceros inhabit other parks, and some companies offer safari-style tours to see them.

The Bass Coast is part of Australia .Enjoy the view from Point Grant and watch the waves crashing against the Nobbies, as the blow hole thunders in the cliffs below. Catch a ferry from Western Port Bay and take a closer look at Seal Rocks, the breeding ground for Australia's largest colony of fur seals. Meander further east along the Bass Coast to Kilcunda and Wonthaggi, where many tourist attractions are within easy reach. Further South is Cape Patterson, the gateway to Bunurong Marine Park which stretches along the coast for about 17 kilometres. It is a wonderland of sandy coves, rock platforms and underwater reefs supporting a diverse array of marine life.

The rustic simplicity of the picturesque village of Inverloch captures the hearts of visitors who return year after year to relax in the carefree atmosphere, a place where fishing is a way of life. Anderson Inlet, opening out to Bass Strait, is usually dotted with multi-coloured sails of yachts and windsurfers taking advantage of the ocean breezes. The popular surf beach on the outskirts of town allow easy access for surf and boogie boards.

There are so many airports in the world. the list below consist of the famous airport.

Singapore (Changi)
For the 10th time, the Changi airport is the winner. The reasons for its absolute hegemony are simple – free cell phone charging, free tours of the city, alarm clocks on the chairs so you do not miss your flight, a swimming pool, wellness facilities, extensive gardens, a special napping corner, and free movies. One would say it is a pretty cool place to live in, better even than most peoples’ homes! As an added value, the airport is shining clean (this state was reached and has since been preserved by extensive troops of maintenance staff) and very calm and quiet. If you have to change planes on your journey, consider Changi the best waiting and sleeping choice.

Although the metropolitan area of BOSTON has long since expanded to fill the shoreline of Massachusetts Bay, and stretches for miles inland as well, the seventeenth-century port at its heart is still discernible. Forget the neat grids of modern urban America; the twisting streets clustered around Boston Common are a reminder of how the nation started out, and the city is enjoyably human in scale.

Boston was, until 1755, the biggest city in America; as the one most directly affected by the latest whims of the British Crown, it was the natural birthplace for the opposition that culminated in the Revolutionary War. Numerous evocative sites from that era are preserved along the Freedom Trail through downtown. Since then, however, Boston has in effect turned its back on the sea. As the third busiest port in the British Empire (after London and Bristol), it stood on a narrow peninsula. What is now Washington Street provided the only access by land, and when the British set off to Lexington in 1775 they embarked in ships from the Common itself. During the nineteenth century, the Charles River marshlands were filled in to create the posh Back Bay residential area. Central Boston is now slightly set back from the water, separated by the hideous John Fitzgerald Expressway that carries I-93 across downtown. The city has been working on routing the traffic underground and disposing of this eyesore (a project a decade in the making known as "the Big Dig"), though the monumental task won't likely be completed before 2004, much to the frustration of locals.

There is a certain truth in the charge leveled by other Americans that Boston likes to live in the past; echoes of the "Brahmins" of a century ago can be heard in the upper-class drawl of the posher districts. But this is by no means just a city of WASPs: the Irish who began to arrive in large numbers after the Great Famine had produced their first mayor as early as 1885, and the president of the whole country within a hundred years. The liberal tradition that spawned the Kennedys remains alive, fed in part by the presence in the city of more than one hundred universities and colleges, the most famous of which – Harvard University – actually stands in the city of Cambridge, just across the Charles River, and is fully integrated into the tourist experience thanks to the area's excellent subway system.

The slump of the Depression seemed to linger in Boston for years – even in the 1950s, the population was actually dwindling – but these days the place definitely has a rejuvenated feel to it. Quincy Market has served as a blueprint for urban development worldwide, and with its busy street life, imaginative museums and galleries, fine architecture and palpable history, Boston is the one destination in New England there's no excuse for missing.

East Nusa Tenggara Islands have been shaped by the power and force of an enormous chain of mountains and volcanoes, which begins from the North of Sumatra and stretches east across Java. The province consists of over 550 islands, but is dominated by the three main islands of Flores, Sumba, and Timor. Occupying a unique position at the junction of Australian and Asian submarine ridges marked by the Wallace Line, it is one the world's most dynamic and exotic marine environments with nearly every species of coral and tropical fish represented. The arid landscape of eastern and southeastern Nusa Tenggara is the result of hot, dry winds blasting in from the Australian continent. In fact, in many coastal areas not a drop of rain falls during most of the year.

Flores is a Portuguese name, which means 'flower' and ideally describes the beauty to be found here. This long island between Sumbawa and Timor is crowded with volcanoes and mountains dividing it into several distinct regions with individual languages and traditions. Predominantly Catholic and heavily influenced by the Portuguese, there are many examples of a strong European cultural heritage like eastern procession held in Larantuka, and the royal regalia of the former king in Maumere.

North Sumatra receives similar swell to Mentawais and enjoys its peak swell season from May to September. Despite Indonesia's reputation for hollow lefts, in North Sumatra right-handers are slightly more prevalent. While Lagundri Bay at Nias has been surfed for decades, it is the more obscure rights like Bawa (a Sunset-like right bowl that holds up to 15 feet) and Treasure Island (a long, hollow, mechanical right peeling for 200 meters) that have attracted the attention of late. Throw a mix of hollow and bowl lefthanders into the picture like Asu, Afulu, the Machine, and many more obscure rights and lefts.

Hanalei Bay on Kauai’s North Shore may be the most beautiful beach setting in all of Hawaii. Hanalei is the largest bay on the island of Kauai and nearly a perfect semi-circle of white sand. Behind the beach is an utterly breathtaking backdrop of waterfalls and emerald mountain peaks wrapped in mist, soaring thousands of feet towards the heavens. The beach is two miles long, 125 feet wide, and bordered by the Hanalei River to the east and the Waipa River to the west. The ocean bottom slopes gently to overhead depths, and there are large coral reefs at both ends of the bay. Every ocean recreation activity you can imagine is available, from boating and windsurfing to kayaking up the placid Hanalei River. The bay is very popular with serious surfers. There is a public boat ramp and a 300-foot long pier used for fishing and swimming. The many “no dogs” and “no jumping off the pier” signs are blissfully ignored.

For some reason, this beach has many different names (among them Keka‘a Beach, Canoe Beach, Dig Me Beach). Whatever you call it, Kaanapali Beach in West Maui is a watersport lover’s paradise.

History: The first European explorers came to Tasmania with noble intentions of gathering knowledge about the world, as well as looking for trading opportunities. However, it was with scant attention to human rights that the British developed their colony of Van Diemen’s Land. The full story is a troubled one, with European administrators and business people concentrating on trade, industrial development and financial and physical security. For many years former convicts and their descendants struggled to accept or hide their origins. Today Tasmanian Aborigines still strive for recompense for the loss of their land and culture.

Kangchenjunga is the third highest mountain in the world (after Mount Everest and K2), with an elevation of 8,586 metres (28,169 ft). Kangchenjunga translated means "The Five Treasures of Snows", as it contains five peaks, four of them over 8,450 metres. The treasures represent the five repositories of god, which are gold, silver, gems, grain, and holy books. Kangchenjunga is also called Sewalungma in local Limbu language and considered sacred in Kirant religion.

Three of these five peaks (main, central, and south) are on the border of North Sikkim district of Sikkim, India and Taplejung District of Nepal, while the other two are completely in Taplejung District. Nepal is home to the Kangchenjunga Conservation Area Project run by the World Wildlife Fund , in association with HMG in Nepal, the sanctuary is also home to the Red Panda and other snow animals, birds and plants. India's side of Kangchenjunga also has a protected park area called the Khangchendzonga National Park.

Although Kangchenjunga is the official spelling adopted by Douglas Freshfield, A.M. Kellas, and the Royal Geographical Society that gives the best indication of the Tibetan pronunciation, there are a number of alternative spellings which include Kangchen Dzö-nga, Khangchendzonga, Kanchenjanga, Kachendzonga, Kanchenjunga or Kangchanfanga. The final word on the use of the name Kangchenjunga came from His Highness Sir Tashi Namgyal, the Maharaja or chogyal of Sikkim, who stated that "although junga had no meaning in Tibetan, it really ought to have been Zod-nga (treasure, five) Kang-chen (snow, big) conveyed the meaning correctly". Following consultations with a Lieutenant-Colonel J.L.R. Weir (HMG political agent to Sikkim), he agreed that it was best to leave it as Kangchenjunga, and thus the name remained so by acceptance and usage.

Until 1852, Kangchenjunga was assumed to be the highest mountain in the world, but calculations made by the British Great Trigonometric Survey in 1849 came to the conclusion that Mount Everest (known as Peak XV at the time) was the highest and Kangchenjunga the third-highest.Kangchenjunga was first climbed on May 25, 1955 by Joe Brown and George Band of a British expedition. The British expedition honoured the beliefs of the Sikkimese, who hold the summit sacred, by stopping a few feet short of the actual summit. Most successful summit parties since then have followed this tradition.

Mount Everest, also called Sagarmatha meaning Head of the Sky is the highest mountain on Earth, as measured by the height of its summit above sea level, which is 8,848 metres (29,029 ft). The mountain, which is part of the Himalaya range in High Asia, is located on the border between Sagarmatha Zone, Nepal, and Tibet, China.

In 1856, the Great Trigonometric Survey of India established the first published height of Everest at 29,002 ft (8,840 m), although at the time Everest was known as Peak XV. In 1865, Everest was given its official English name by the Royal Geographical Society upon recommendation of Andrew Waugh, the British Surveyor General of India at the time. Waugh was unable to propose an established local name because Nepal and Tibet were closed to foreigners at the time, although Chomolungma had been in common use by Tibetans for centuries.

The highest mountain in the world attracts climbers of all levels, from well experienced mountaineers to novice climbers willing to pay substantial sums to professional mountain guides to complete a successful climb. The mountain, while not posing substantial technical climbing difficulty on the standard route (other eight-thousanders such as K2 or Nanga Parbat are much more difficult), still has many inherent dangers such as altitude sickness, weather and wind. By the end of the 2007 climbing season, there had been 3,679 ascents to the summit by 2,436 individuals. Climbers are a significant source of tourist revenue for Nepal, whose government also requires all prospective climbers to obtain an expensive permit, costing up to US$25,000 per person.Everest has claimed 210 lives, including eight who perished during a 1996 storm high on the mountain. Conditions are so difficult in the death zone that most corpses have been left where they fell, some of which are visible from standard climbing routes.

Semeru also Gunung Semeru - located in East Java is the tallest mountain on the island of Java, Indonesia and one of its most active volcanoes.
