I love your site.  After seeing your pictures I'm going to vacation in the Philippines in August now.  I think a great addition to your site would be a map of some sort.  I don't know much about where the islands/locations are that you have visited.  It would help a newbie like me find a place to visit if I could figure out where these awesome places are. 

Great site, keep the posts coming!

ps your slideshow is doing the reset to the first post thing when you drag the mouse over it.  there is a fix for this in the forum

Re: www.claireraborar.com - travel blog

Before we left Canada I used some time planning our fund access when traveling. Our travels is mainly S.E Asia, China and India, and even though most of the countries does not have the same banks as we use back home I decided to widespread my horizon. I got two bank accounts with two different banks, both joint so we have 4 bank cards, a joint VISA credit witch in the end totaled us 6 ways of a withdrawal if needed. Having emergency cash, preferably in USD is a must.

Unfortionatly I cant answer to your bank fees, but found HSBC being fenominal in Asia, accepted everywhere and they dont charge me any fees for withdrawals. Usually the bank you withdrawal from will cahrge you a fee and your bank at home will aswell, so keep in mind the double fees with some banks. Some banks have affiliates with other banks overseas and will allow you to withdrawal without fees all together.

As I used to work in a bank back home, keep in mind to let all your banks know where you are traveling and for how long, they like to restrict your usage if there is unfamilliar transactions. At the same time ask them to increase your daily withdrawal limits to a resonable amount so you dont get stuck withdrawaling many times with fees.

Arriving in Battambang at lunch time dirty, hungover and sweaty we headed straight for our rooms for showers. We booked a hotel called Khemera 1 that had been recommended by Tara from Cambodian Childrens Trust (CCT). For $25 per room a night we had a huge room in a large hotel with a swimming pool, airconditioning, satellite tv and the rest of the modern cons you would expect in a good hotel.... Bargain!! Once we were showered and feeling semi human we caught a tuktuk to the city centre. Battambang is the 2nd largest city in Cambodia.. and I love it

The Netherlands is one of the most popular tourist attractions. If you are planning to visit this beautiful country to know more about its rich cultural heritage, the best way is to hire a car. http://www.entirecarhire.co.uk/netherlands_car_hire.htm It will offer a wide variety of cars to suit your rental preferences.

The pistes reach their highest point at 2600M and it’s possible to ski all the way back down to the town. Guides can be hired for off-piste adventures.
