hop for the right shoeso who like to travel

light should still pack an extra

pair o shoes or more ormal

instances like a ne restaurant

or the opera. Being prepared

or dressier moments beats

having to shop or appropriate

ootwear when abroad. Your

best bets? Studded fats,

caged sandals or wedges

in patent leather. Do your

pre-trip shopping at the new

Primadonna stores in SM

North Edsa, SM City Tarlac and

Gaisano Mall in Davao City.

Shoes range rom PHP800

to PHP1,500. Visit SM malls,

Limketkai Mall in Cagayan de

Oro, Pavillion Mall in Sta Rosa

and Marquee Mall in Pampanga

have places like

the traditional old

town Nanshi and

the extremely

charming French

Concession.

Tin ventue My buddy

and I had to take the trainrom Beijing to Xian (where

the Terracotta Warriors are).

We were carrying our heavy

our-day packs and had let our

English-Mandarin phrasebook

at home. Running rom one

coach to the next, a good

English-speaking lady pointed

us to the right train. We got to

Xian ater 12 hours o restul

sleep on board one o the

nicest coaches Ive ever seen

in Asia.

like the

idea o making new riendsrom other places that might

gladly welcome you into their

homes as a guest. This helps

you tick accommodations o

your travel expense list, and

gives you a chance to see a

destination through your

hosts eyes.

Tvel must I love the idea o

ollowing The Lonely Planet

or planning walking tours. Its

an indispensable portable tour

guide that saves you rom the

hassle o joining big, usually

boring, tour groups. n

26-yar-od Pao Pea may

be a digital marketing maven at

Globe Telecoms, but he knows

the good lie is not necessarily

ound online. With interests as

diverse as wine appreciation,

hosting ormal dinners at

home, running 21km races, andquarterly travels, Pao is quite

capable o treading the balance

between an active digital lie

and true real-lie adventure.

Fvite stp I like Shanghai

best. This city is a testament

to how diverse Asian history

is and how global one can get

without sacricing national

identity. Shanghais contrast

o new and old expressed by

the Pudong and The Bund

sections o the city show just

how rich Chinas history is. Go

urther down the map, you
