This hill, which your Angkor Wat guide will know, and be able to take you to, is the perfect way to round off a trip to this amazing temple comlex, by watching the sun set over the whole Angkor Site. The climb is hard going, but well worth it, although you can ride an elephant to the top for about $15. There are loads of people there, but this adds to the atmosphere, rather than ruining it. There is usually someone selling cold beers as well, and it would be rude not to!

Your guide will take you.

Bia Hoi is the ultimate Vietnamese drinking experience. It's basically a keg of beer outside someone's house or shop or whatever, and you go and help yourself to local "brew".

It costs around 1,500 dong a glass (about 7 pence) and you end up drinking with all sorts of colourful locals.

Anywhere in Hanoi, or the rest of Vietnam.

The cheapest pub in town, full of Victorian grandeur. Why have trendy overpriced places when beer here is just over a pound a pint?

Get up at dawn and wander around the old quarter, where joggers and tai chi classes replace the ever-present mopeds.

Near the statue in Hoan Kiem Lake, down a side street, there is a flower market, which transforms the area completely.

A dark and dingy pub in Surrey Hills, with a great friendly atmosphere, and great music, there is usually a DJ on at the weekend.

This is, as it sounds, a firing range, run by scarily laid-back ex-army types. They give you a menu of weapons, and you take your pick. Alright, it's a bit gung ho, but for me, it's as once in a lifetime as anything else here.

Ask any moto driver, but you will get offered to be taken there all the time anyway

Particularly good if this is the first thing you do in New York, take the lift after it has got dark, and see NYC in a way that you will never forget.

A seedy but classy downstairs bar off Pariska off the Old Town Sqaure. The best cocktail menu I have ever seen, and odd fish sticks to go with it. You can just imagine the soviet spies sitting in the corner sipping vodka...

There is one motorbike taxi driver in Bangkok who rides a Harley, but only charges the going rate for a ride, which works out about £1 to go anywhere in central Bangkok. If you see him, get a ride with him just for the sheer hell of it. You will never know fear like the fear you get on the back of Harley hurtling headlong into Bangkok traffic, with no helmet on. I did this on a hangover and by the time I got to my destination, I was cured.

I found him outside the Asia Hotel, 296 Phayathai Road.

This place has to be the greatest steak house in the world! A tiny place, but size of the steaks more than makes up for it.

It's near the Victory Monument, but you will have a hard time explaining this to the tuk tuk drivers. Once you find one who knows where it is, go to this bar for the best curry and music in BKK. There is always some sort of blues-country-jazz stuff on offer, sung by locals. A great night out.

Local cafe, which does the best and biggest portions of fish and chips in Sydney. They get all their fish fresh that day from the fish market, and cook it there and then for you. All for $12!
