A New Year’s Toast To My Readers

I’d like to thank all the readers who have traveled with Escape From New York in 2007. I wish you a 2008 filled with happiness, good health and peace. And may all your travel dreams be fulfilled.

This year marked the inception of Escape From New York and there will be many more journeys for us to take in 2008. Below are highlights of some of the places we traveled to in 2007:

Asia
Filipina Domestic Workers Hong Kong –Possibly Hong Kong’s largest ex-pat community.
Temple of Heaven Park Beijing – All eyes will be on Beijing in 2008. In the run up to the Summer Olympics I’ll be posting regularly on this city.
Bangles India –Much more on India to come.

Africa
Essaouira Morocco – Dreamy perfection.
Moroccan Blue –It’s good to be blue in Morocco.

Latin America
Real de Catorce Mexico— Sshhh it’s our secret. Far off the beaten path not much has been written about this magical town yet.
Maximon Santiago Guatemala—I’ll be writing more on the fascinating religious fusion in Guatemala in 2008.
