Usher in the New Year from an ancient land. Discover a country of golden pagodas, and limlitless smiles. In Burma, or Myanmar, you are still treated like a visiting guest, not a tourist. Discover this land of mythical proportions -- from Bagan's 2000 temples dating from the 11th century, to Mandalay's royal legacy. Inle Lake abounds with tiny man-made islands built of river rushes, and Rangoon is a colonial time warp little touched in over 50 years.

Our next Globetrotting Gourmet® food tour ushers in 2007 with gala new year's eve festivities in old Rangoon, then to the full moon Ananda temple festival in ancient Bagan. Cruise down the mighty Irrawaddy and savor a world of tourism through its food. Great hotels, daily breakfast, most meals, cooking classes and market tours, private coach and internal air fares.

Hosted personally by cookbook author and Asian food authority Robert Carmack, and textile designer Morrison Polkinghorne.

Singapore
  Pamper yourselves in Executive Rooms at Singapore's newest luxury boutique hotel, The Scarlet. Centrally located in the heart of Chinatown, the hotel faithfully preserves the historic shop front façade of this 1924 building, but inside it is sumptuously a la mode. Within minutes walking to several subway stations, and just across the street from one of the city's best hawker food courts, The Scarlet is a personal favorite. read on>>>
