Virtual travel
Hong Kong has more travel agents than you can shake
a boarding card at, but not of the variety that has
shops stocked with glossy brochures about destinations
and hotels. The best you're likely to get is a brochure
for the sort of tour that will have you in the shadow
of the Eiffel Tower at 9am and under the Brandenburg
Gate by noon. If you're looking for inspiration on picking
a destination, try the web. An excellent site is
Fridae.com (www.fridae.com), a gay and lesbian portal
with a focus on recommending places and hotels that
don't discriminate against homosexuals. There is
plenty of travel information for the heterosexual, too,
even if the featured article when I visited was 'All
About Semen', which was probably as off-putting to the
lesbians as it was to me.
