...Road Ahead Alongside road 4, the 143-mile (230 km) ribbon of asphalt connecting Sihanoukville and Phnom Penh, water buffalo graze in rice paddies that stretch from horizon to horizon. Kids in white school uniforms pedal their bikes in the dirt, moving alongside traffic like birds riding on air currents. It's places like these - in other words, most of Cambodia - where the five-star visions of the coast begin to get a bit blurry. Neither tourism nor oil alone can drive the national economy in a meaningful way. There must also be investment in agriculture and other sectors that...
...Aquaterra Adventures can also organize a quick tiger-spotting safari at the end of the trip. Besides the Himalayas, Uttarakhand's other famous attraction is Corbett National Park, in the Shivalik foothills. This 201-square-mile (520 sq km) reserve offers some of the country's best chances to catch a glimpse of the elusive and endangered Bengal tiger. But if you would rather make your own arrangements, simply book one of the 10 cottages at the Hideaway River Lodge, www.corbetthideaway.com, right in the middle of the jungle. Rates start from $375 a night, which includes meals, safaris, fishing, park...
Horseback riding and the swampy tidal flats of Singapore aren't images that go hand in hand, but half a mile down a deserted road - in the middle of a tropical rainforest - lies a small patch of England's Berkshire, complete with paddocks, stables and riding trails crisscrossing the lush hills. This is the domain of the Bukit Timah Saddle Club, and it's where, on a weekend morning, the scions of Singapore's great and good trot by on their steeds...
...mile and a half, the Belmont is the Triple Crown's most grueling test; 10 bids have failed there over the past 30 years. Most recently, Smarty Jones lost a heartbreaker in 2004. At Big Brown's Belmont stall, his big brown (naturally) eyes glow with confidence. His coat shines; he flirts with a filly in the next stall. Aw, heck, how are we supposed to know what the horse is feeling? Best we can do is ask the trainer. "We're going to win the race," Dutrow says...
...movie intended as a class reunion, Indy has to bring a wife-equivalent: his gal pal from Raiders, Marion Ravenwood (Karen Allen, still brandishing that mile-wide smile). Her son Mutt is a young Indy manqué; he has discipline issues, but you can be sure he'll work them out, since he's the designated hero of whatever further sequels Lucas has in mind. LaBeouf, an intelligent actor without an ounce of charisma, will be hard put to replace the original, iconic Indy. Ford looks just fine, his chest tanned to a rich, Corinthian leather; he is still lithe...
