		<description><![CDATA[ The Jakarta restaurant Shanghai Blue 1920 takes old-school romantics back to a livelier, jazzier time - back to the days of the original Shanghai Tea House, a warung-turned-full-scale-restaurant. With jazz music courtesy of the Shanghai Jazz Band and Nita Aartsen Project, Shanghai Blue 1920 harks back to its storied predecessor on Sunda Kelapa, a bustling tea house and restaurant run by a Shanghainese immigrant and his Indonesian wife. The Blue Valentine special will be served on February 14: lovers who attend My Blue Valentine will enjoy a four-course dinner and a glass of sparkling wine, for IDR 498,000 (US$53) per couple. Shanghai Blue 1920 preserves the memory of the Shanghai Tea House with original pieces of the restaurant on site, the lively jazz stylings of its ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Ole's Steak Palomillo. The steak is hidden under the ensalada of parsley and onions. Image Â© Mike Aquino, licensed to About.com. When I was in the U.S. a few years ago, I happened upon a Filipino restaurant that had this sign in the window: SERVES 2-3 AMERICANS (4-5 FILIPINOS) Maybe you Yanks don't realize this, but we have smaller servings of food in Southeast Asia. One cup of rice and about a handful of meat or vegetables is what you'll usually get in most places around here, whether you're at a hawker's stall in Singapore or a pho stand in Vietnam. So this puts me in a bind when I write restaurant reviews: do I say that a certain serving size is adequate, when it's enough for a meal plus takeout for the locals? I still haven't really decided. In any case, my latest restaurant review for ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Image © Mike Aquino, licensed to About.com. Manila walking tour artist Carlos Celdran is, once again, teaming up with Sun Cruises to re-introduce the island fortress of Corregidor to travelers with a weekend to spare. I ventured forth myself a while back (check out our Corregidor tour for images of how it went down) and loved it. The World War II Japanese invasion and the American reconquest may have wiped the tight-knit Corregidor community from the face of the earth, but the buildings remain to remind us of the world this island once knew, and lost. Is it all ...]]></description>

The West Lake is the biggest lake in Hanoi, site of several scenic pagodas, and it's no surprise that some of Hanoi's fanciest hotels are there to capitalize on the scenery and the cool breezes blowing in from the lake during autumn. (The latter is a double-edged sword, as the cooling effect of the West Lake quickly turns into nasty humidity come summer.)

Directly ahead of me, a tour guide was explaining the history of 20th century Vietnam, and how it unfolded right at this spot. It was here where the last emperor of Vietnam, Bao Dai, turned over his government to a revolutionary government. The turnover did nothing to stop the French from coming back to try to reclaim their lost Empire, obliterating much of the Hue Citadel in the process.
