Curacao

Curaçao is part of the extensive Dutch territory in the Caribbean known as the Netherlands Antilles. The overseas kingdom is divided into two three-island clusters separated by more than 500 miles of tropical sea. The “S” islands (St. Maarten, St. Eustatius, and Saba) lie just east of the Virgin Islands, between Anguilla and St. Kitts. The “ABC” islands (Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao) are lined up along the northwestern coast of Venezuela.

China

China, a country of superlatives, most populous of nations, hidden for so long, is now emerging onto the world travel scene. From frozen north to tropical south, modern east to wild west, this is a huge, diverse land just waiting to be explored. It abounds in magnificent sights – some are natural like the mystical limestone peaks of Guangxi, while others are manmade testaments to the power and glory of China’s past, such as the Forbidden City.
