Thanksgiving Food Twisted Around The World

Peter — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 08:30:40 +0000

It’s thanksgiving Thursday in America and to us its all about thanks & food. Food glorious food and while most americans sit and ready themselves for the traditional turkey we have put together 5 different places world wide to get your grub in this thanksgiving !!

You’d be forgiven for thinking you were anywhere but a restaurant in the Bistrotheque, why ? Because like the man said its not just a restaurant, not just a bar, not just a venue, its all of the above with an eclectic mix of all things good ie food, wine, music and of London !!

So your in Hsin-chu and you want to celebrate thanksgiving, what do you do? The Lakehouse is your top bet because the french know a little bit about cuisine. Plus this Taiwan establishment have a twist on the old favourites

We love Iceland so much, they have the culture, landscapes and history for the best trips. Plus they like to eat, in Reykjavik at Tapas Barinn expect the Icelandic Feast with 5 courses, dessert, and of course the classic Icelandic shot or two

There is a tradition in China and we’re taking you to Shanghai to share it with you. Shengbiancaotou tells us that its all types of food that make the dish so be careful to try to include absolutely everything

The beach is calling in Bali, Melasti Kedonganan Cafe to be exact is the perfect location for seafood, its literally caught about 200 metres in front of you. Indonesia is the country of fish as its surrounded by water and islands. Sea, beach, heat & fresh fish, perfect.

If your in the states and thinking what could we do thats differrent this thanksgiving then check out our comprehensive Chicago, New York & New York for Kids trips. Or if your heading to the states we have the America For Less page. When all put together we think its gonna be a great thanksgiving

London is a city that everyone wants to go too at some stage. Here are our TOP 5 Tips of what you should really know before you go to Britian’s largest city.

Airport Tip – When you arrive in one of the worlds busiest airports it can be a bit mind boggling so remember this, you can get a free shower & unwind on the 2^nd floor, here to you can buy a cheap local SIM card for your mobile.
Nearly all museums are free in London as the local taxpayers actually pay for them every year which makes it great for tourists to spend their money else where.
See a lot more of the city actually on the Thames and see the city from a very different view point, by boat everything looks a lot better.
Post codes may look difficult but look at this: SW7 4AN, SW is South West of London, Area 7, 4AN identifies a home building or business. Post codes are extremely handy for finding you way around the city and everywhere has one.
Take the underground everywhere in London, although slightly more cramped compared to Paris or Madrid, it does zip you around the city and has grown in size considerably in the last 10 years. Depending on how long you are staying you can get a 5 day travel pass for 30 euros and a 7 day pass for 50.
