Travel Blog - Notes from the Editor
---- Banksy in London ----
Banksy pieces can be found all over London so if you want to do a tour of his work you will need a travel pass and an up to date map on where the pieces are.

---- Skyscrapers of Shanghai ----
Shanghai is one of the largest cities on the world, and it has a skyline to match the population. If the smog ever clears you would have a view of nothing but tall buildings everywhere you looked.
Shanghai has two distinct areas: Puxi and Pudong. Puxi is the old city west of the Huangpu River, while Pudong is the new city east of the river.

---- Melbourne Cup ----
Every four years on the first Tuesday in November the world stops to watch America as it goes to the polls to elect a President. Meanwhile every year on the first Tuesday in November Australia stops and watches a horse race.
The Melbourne Cup has been run since 1861 and it is known as the race that stops a nation. The day is a public holiday in the State of Victoria, which must be the only place in the world that has a day off for a horse race.
The genius of the schedulers who first put the race on a Tuesday means that many Victorians take the Monday off as well, making it a 4 day long weekend holiday.
