| World’s 8 most really, truly romantic cities Posted: 15 Nov 2012 07:39 AM PST Sorry, Paris; move over Venice: it's going to take more than pouty waiters and overpriced dinghy rides to arouse the 21st-century traveler Article Page If the last several years have taught us anything, it's that the world is in constant flux. Regimes topple, borders are redrawn, whole countries are born anew. But, while the fighters are remaking their world, the lovers are evidently stuck in the 1800s. Ask anyone what the world's most romantic cities are and they'll likely reply in kneejerk fashion, "Paris…" "Venice…" "New York…" But what's so romantic about coffee breath, crumbling infrastructure and the smell of bum urine?

| The deserted island that inspired a Bond villain Posted: 15 Nov 2012 12:24 AM PST Nicknamed Battleship Island, this creepy spot welcomes tourists and movie badasses Article Page Hashima Island, also known as Gunkanjima (meaning "Battleship Island" for its silhouette that resembles a warship) is a 60,000-square-meter cluster of concrete ruins in the sea off Nagasaki, Japan. It was the bustling home of thousands of coal mine workers in the 1950s and was shut down in 1974. The island has been abandoned since. Until pop culture and, most recently, a 007 film re-discovered it.

| Taming the piranha -- catching fish and busting myths in the Amazon Posted: 14 Nov 2012 06:10 PM PST Deep in the heart of the Amazon Basin, an intrepid crew braces for a date with one of the world's most diabolical creatures Article Page Our small canoe pulled away from the tiny dock and made its way up the murky tributary of the Rio Negro, a couple of boat hours north of Manaus, Brazil. In these waters, I was about to tangle with one of the legendary monsters of the not-so-deep: the finned mayhem known as the piranha.

| 49 journeys you'll never forget Posted: 14 Nov 2012 04:47 PM PST Camel treks, elevator rides and "the finest walk in the world" -- when going from A to B, you may as well do it in style Article Page What makes a great journey? A guaranteed transporting experience, first and foremost. But after that it all depends on how you define "journey." If your version is restricted to a paved surface, at least two wheels and an engine, with a clear point A and B (and let's not forget the cupholders), this list may not be for you. Or maybe it is -- if you're flexible enough to allow an elevator shaft in Taipei or a flight of stairs on a remote island in the South Atlantic to also qualify.
