<![CDATA[<h3><strong>Why is Dallas one of the most exciting cities in the USA?</strong></h3>
<p>Simple, it's got a little bit of everything and nothing's more than 15 minutes away, parking is free, the people are beautiful and way friendly, and the party scene is to die for! Let me start with the new "uptown" where things are shiny and new, hip, cool, fast and very expensive. Yes, there are people who go there just because those without the coinage won't.</p>
<p>Then there's the new "Victory Park", home of American Airlines Center where you can see the Stars play Hockey, grab a big concert, or catch a basketball game. Before your event&amp;nbsp;be sure to&amp;nbsp;walk the shops and stop in for some sushi, or better yet have a martini atop the Westin in&amp;nbsp;the now infamous "Ghost Bar" and stand on the glass floor and see down fifty stories!</p>
<p>If that's all too fussy for you then perhaps you want to country western dance, there's plenty of that. If you're into Goth, tattoos, live urban music, hanging with the people on the fringe -&amp;nbsp;check out&amp;nbsp;"Deep Ellum".</p>
<p>If you&amp;nbsp;love the Gays you have to swing into Sue Ellen's and JR's&amp;nbsp;on the best gay strip in the country&amp;nbsp;called Cedar Springs! It's a hundred times better than NYC and&amp;nbsp;puts San Francisco to shame!</p>
<p>If you are into riding your hog, then you need to motor down to Greenville Avenue where the patio's are packed for motorcycle watching. Drag up and down the ave. and show your saddle bags off. There's even a vintage Vespa club hang out called the Dublinar.</p>
<p>If you like to stroll around on a Sunday, grab a beer and a football game, chat with locals on a great patio, McKinney Ave area is for you. Be sure to check out the Gingerman's 300 and something kinds of beer down at the Quadrangle.</p>
<p>And if none of that is working for you try Addison in North Dallas. It's in the Guinness Book of World Records for the most bars and restaurants&amp;nbsp;per square inch.&amp;nbsp;Beltline road&amp;nbsp;is a couple miles long&amp;nbsp;and offers every food on earth, as well as great patios, comedy club, live music, shopping and more.</p>
<p>The dance clubs are always packed in Dallas and are scattered everywhere. And for you old folks we have a great arts district, the hstorical west end and Dealy Square where Kennedy was shot. We also have a notable upper crust restaurant scene where the food is world famous and chef's are signing book deals faster than Paris Hilton books paid party engagements!</p>
<p>So, come to Dallas. Buy some pointy toed cowboy boots, get a taste of the best mexican food anywhere... and you'll see why we are one of the fastest growing metroplexes in the nation!</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.trifter.com%2FUSA-%26amp%3B-Canada%2FTexas%2FDallas-Texas.332961"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.trifter.com%2FUSA-%26amp%3B-Canada%2FTexas%2FDallas-Texas.332961" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<p>This is the worlds most expensive TV and has the staggering price tag of $130,000 dollars.  This YALOS Diamond LCD TV is well worth its price tag due to all of its brilliant features. The features include 160 diamonds that total up to at least 20 karats, extraordinary brightness, a great contrast ratio, a great response,  and unbelievable pixel resolution.  Oh yeah I forgot, this thing also happens to be plated in white gold.</p>
 
<h3>Worlds Most Expensive Phone</h3>

<p>GoldVish Luxury Communications of Geneva sold this phone for the huge price of 1.3 million dollars in 2006. This phone, nicknamed Le Million, is covered with 18 karat gold surrounded by 1,800 diamonds with a total of more than 120 karats.

<p>This perfume is called Imperial Majesty and is the most expensive bottled perfume in the world. This bottle sells at the whopping price of $215,000 dollars and must smell, oh so good. Imperial Majesty is actually a limited edition signature scent of Clive Christian and sells for $2,150 dollars an ounce. In this case the bottle costs so much because a British designer poured 16 ounces of it into a crystal bottle covered with diamonds and an 18-carrot gold collar. This is one blinged out perfume bottle.</p>
<h3>Worlds Most Expensive Gameboy</h3>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/trifter/2008/02/21/116644_3.jpg" alt="" /></p>

This limited edition Gameboy was created by Aspreys of London and is made out of 18 karat gold with a display screen surrounded with diamonds. I wonder what lucky kid got this toy from Santa?</p>
<h3>Worlds Most Expensive Pen</h3>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/trifter/2008/02/21/116644_4.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>This is the world's most expensive pen and was designed by Caran d'Ache in 1999. He designed this very extravagant and blinged out pen to show respect for a famous architect named Antoni Gaude who passed away in 1926. This pen, known as La Modernista Diamonds Fountain Pen, was sold to a Swiss company for a cool $265,000 dollars. The pen contains solid silver parts, a 18-karat gold tip, and is enveloped in 5,072 specially cut diamonds. This pen also contains 96 rubies which form an emblem on the pens cap top.</p>
<h3>Worlds Most Expensive Cup of Tea</h3>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/trifter/2008/02/21/116644_5.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>This is actually the world's most expensive tea bag and has the gigantic price of $13,941 dollars. This special tea bag was created by PG Tips Tea Company to celebrate their 75th anniversary. It took three months to make and was entirely hand crafted with over 280 diamonds. I can't wait to see how they celebrate their 100th anniversary.</p>
<h3>Worlds Most Expensive Water</h3>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/trifter/2008/02/21/116644_6.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>This is Kona Nigari water and is the world's most expensive water at $16.75 dollars an ounce. This water is packed with minerals and comes from the deep seas near Hawaii. The water has first been desalted of course. This water is not just meant to be drunk. You are instead supposed to dillute it with more regular water. This water is specially known for the healthy vitamins and minerals that come in each bottle.</p>
<h3>Worlds Most Expensive Christmas Tree</h3>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/trifter/2008/02/21/116644_7.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>This is the World's Most Expensive Christmas Tree and valued at over half a million dollars. This tree is made from 5 pounds of 18 karat gold, is decorated with round briolette diamonds, and has a platinum star with a 4.54 karat diamond on top. This tree will be sold at an auction and all of the proceedings will go to the American Cancer Society. I wonder what kind of gifts Santa would leave under this tree?</p>
<h3>Worlds Most Expensive Fishing Lure</h3>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/trifter/2008/02/21/116644_8.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>That's right, this is an iced-out fishing lure that is valued at 1 Million Dollars. This $1,000,000 fishing lure consists of three pounds of Platinum, Gold, Diamonds, and Rubies. This lure took months to create and was totally hand crafted. I am not sure who owns this lure now, but I hope he is bringing in some big fish.</p>
<h3>Worlds Most Expensive Skull</h3>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/trifter/2008/02/21/116644_9.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>I know you're probably sitting in your chair googly-eyed and with your mouth hanging open, but trust me this skull is real. This 90 Million Dollar skull was created by the notorious artist Damien Hirst. This one-of-a-kind piece of art is titled “For the Love of God” and is the most costly piece of contemporary art ever made. This piece is encrusted with over 8,601 diamonds and has a total of 1,106.18 carats. It weighs 63 pounds and is made from a real skull and teeth. This is my new favorite piece of art and Damien is my new favorite artist. Damien is not planning to sell this piece of art and created it with his own bank account. Now all he has to do is stick this skull on top of a cane and become the ultimate Puff Daddy.</p>																												<a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.trifter.com%2FPractical-Travel%2FLuxury-Travel%2FWorlds-Treasures-10-of-the-Worlds-Most-Outrageously-Expensive-Treasures.86315"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.trifter.com%2FPractical-Travel%2FLuxury-Travel%2FWorlds-Treasures-10-of-the-Worlds-Most-Outrageously-Expensive-Treasures.86315" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<title>Beautiful Life: Cool Highland in Malaysia</title>
<link>http://www.trifter.com/Asia-&amp;-Pacific/Malaysia/Beautiful-Life-Cool-Highland-in-Malaysia.54336</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>Cameron Highlands is one of the cool highlands in Malaysia. Its temperature is moderately cool during the day. But, during the evenings, a light layer of nightwear can always make someone shivering in bed, particularly in a rainy day. </p>
 
 <p>The highland is surrounded by lush rainforest said to be among the oldest in the world. Due to the thin air of the Highlands, one may find it slightly difficult to breathe. It is said that Cameron Highlands has 150 species of wild orchids and 1,500 species of ferns along the meandering road to the resort at higher latitudes. If you are lucky, you might even spot a mountain goat. The nature enthusiasts are recommended for a Hill Forest Nature Walk in search of pitcher plants and other flora. It is a 2.6 meter forest walk and it takes less than two-hours to complete. The enthusiasts will marvel at this unspoilt natural beauty along the journey, especially the wild blooms like lipsticks and orchids.</p>
 
 <p>Terraced flower gardens, strawberry farms, orchards and vegetable gardens are the main features of Cameron Highlands. The flower gardens are grown with beautiful and fragrant flowers which come in many colors. One can buy the rose plants at a 20% discount and roses at 10% discount. You may bring home some rare roses plants for your lover or parents. In the strawberry farms, one can see lots of planted red strawberries. Ripe strawberries are sold in boxes according to sizes. You can also buy a bottle of homemade and tasty strawberry jam. Fresh fruits and leafy vegetables which can be eaten raw are grown in the vegetable gardens. There are also many fresh and big tomatoes grown here. The tea bushes are grown mostly on the hillsides. The tea leaves will pick and toss by the women carrying baskets behind their backs every seven or eight days. The leaves are then taken to the Sungai Palas tea factory for further processing. A picturesque tea plantation to Gunung Brinchang is an aerial view photography stop. Visitors may also amazed by the varieties of tea served at the "Umphh Tea Shop".</p>
 
 <p>It is really an exciting cool highland to visit in Malaysia!</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.trifter.com%2FAsia-%26amp%3B-Pacific%2FMalaysia%2FBeautiful-Life-Cool-Highland-in-Malaysia.54336"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.trifter.com%2FAsia-%26amp%3B-Pacific%2FMalaysia%2FBeautiful-Life-Cool-Highland-in-Malaysia.54336" border="0"/></a>]]></description>
