Margate is so nice on a sunny weekend in the Autumn. Enjoy the city view from the pier and visit Margate's museum at Old Town Hall Market Place.
Livingston is a little town, a little like Jamaica. A very peaceful place, there is a big inter-cultural mix, you find the Garifunas, Quetchi, Ladinos and Coolis.
The people are very friendly and the place is relaxing. The nights are warm and there are partys on every street, in the day you can visit the most beautiful river in Central America "Rio Dulce" you can't miss the tour with Exotic Travel Agency who I travelled with and recomend to everyone.
I have been travelling in Thailand a while now and of all the places I have been this is the winner by far. Thailand is a friendly country but Chiang Mai is in a different league. The people are great and just hanging around the city is a lot of fun.
It is far less busy and polluted than Bangkok and much less commercial than Phuket and the islands.
There is tons to do. I have been trekking, done a cookery course, had loads of massages and spa treatments and the food is terrific. A wide variety of choice and at ridiculous prices.
Brilliant all round so my tip is go to Chiang Mai!
Riga is a fantastic city and I'm delighted that more and more people (besides myself) are finally discovering it.
There are a lot of stag groups but thankfully more and more 'civilised' people are also coming and discovering more than just bars and girls. A good all-round guide that I've found helpful in the past is www.riga-life.com. And the sites I'd recommend especially in Riga are Jurmala, Dome Cathedral and Academy of Science.
Benha is a town about 50km from Cairo in the Nile River delta, far from the tourist trail. You get to see the Egypt where the real people live and most people here never see foreigners. On the way in the minibus you'll see the working class suburbs of Cairo, the fields that mark the start of the delta, farmers in their distinctive outfits and the wonder that is population growth.
Take the Metro to Koliet El-Zeraa station and then outside the station take a minibus to Benha.
It's so important to book tickets in advance! There is very little chance that you'll get a place on a trip otherwise. The audio facility available is brilliant, it really makes the tour mean something.

Shubra is a typical working class suburb. It's not particularly aesthetic but is very functional and a good insight into how most people live in Cairo.
Catch the Metro to Rod el-Farag.
