Unearthing Asia: Great read for the travel-happy people.

I stumbled upon this really cool website. It's called Unearthing Asia, a travel blog zine focusing on Culture, Lifestyle and Attractions all around Asia! And I must say it's actually pretty cool with a lot of very interesting articles & useful content. I started salivating just reading titles such as:

" New Zealand, North Island, Ala Carte"

" 12 Must Do Things In Bali"

" Backpacker Guide To Egypt "

" Top of the World at the land of High Passes: India"

I have yet to read most of the articles but I already cant wait to share it to everyone. It really is a cool find! This is now my current default travel blog when I'm just daydreaming of travel. Indeed a good resource for when I create my 2012 travel wish list!

What's even more awesome?
