...regulations?and rewards?expired 150 years ago with the end of the Tokugawa shogunate. These days commoners of any gender can stroll along the old road, parts of which have become quiet backstreets, while other sections remain mountain track. Despite trail markers and helpful shouts from farmers knee-deep in paddies, it is still easy to get lost. Our group of five took a 12-day journey with Walk Japan, whose guides are well-versed in the route's history and the concerns of traditional inn owners, who are often nervous about foreigners not knowing how to behave. For information...
...Ybor City, of course, it?s not just hysterical drug dealers who are caught on camera, it?s Joe Shmo and his lovely wife and kids out for a stroll in the evening. And if the surveillance cameras snap a few shots, and none of the Shmo family faces sets off the photo database, it seems reasonable to wonder what good the cameras could possibly be doing - and to feel a vicarious sense of outrage on behalf of the entire Shmo family. But let?s imagine a different scenario: Say little Suzy Shmo is actually Jane Doe - whose frantic parents...
...back and forth. At the mouth of the Karnaphuli river lies Bangladesh's main port. The country's second city, Chittagong has been a center of trade and transport for 2,000 years. Porters lean almost prone as they haul carts piled 4 m high along the quay. Stroll the boulevards of decaying colonial storefronts and the pungent waterfront in the old city to trace the port's Portuguese and British history. For a bed, try the Hotel Agrabad, the city's best at around $100 a double. Call (880-31) 500-111. Eating well and cheaply...
...Sayyaf's stroll to safety revealed the military's ham-handedness?the commander who botched the siege was fired?and indefinitely prolonged the hostages' deadly peril. Moreover, it proved that Arroyo's frequently reiterated rhetorical resolve was not enough, and that Abu Sayyaf is likely to continue to be a plague on the country for a long time to come. It's a cruel group: after their escape last week, the kidnappers beheaded two Filipinos?a cook and security guard seized in the raid on the Dos Palmas tourist resort in the western province of Palawan. Speaking by sat phone...
...back, stroll along the waterfront past the 17th century house where Lord Byron in 1816 wrote The Prisoner of Chillon, a poem commemorating the imprisonment in 1530 of François de Bonnivard, prior of the Abbey of St. Victor. The 13th century Chillon Castle is at the lake's eastern end, a pleasant 90-minute steamboat trip from Ouchy. The boats leave from the central dock, but the schedule is seasonal so when there call 0848-811-848 for information...
