Ta-daaaaaaaaaah! It’s Dublin. Hopefully all you need to know (and some you didn’t). But try to squish a city into two pages, and there’ll be some casualties.

Fear is found on a creaking glacier in the Caucasus mountains and joy is encapsulated in the perfect Shanghai dumpling.
And while I love a $500-a-night hotel room (who doesn’t?), sometimes the best stories are found in a $20 guesthouse.
With an eye always out for good markets and great street eats, I write travel news and features for the Sydney Morning Herald and Melbourne’s The Age newspapers, and features for whoever else asks. I have a particular soft spot for the wilds of the Middle East, scarves and carpets.
My articles and photographs have been published in a range of consumer magazines and newspapers in Australia and abroad, and I chat about travel on radio, too, to ABC Australia or 3AW or the Irish Times.
I also host the travel podcast The World Awaits - take a listen https://theworldawaits.au

So where are you now ?!!. What is your next jump ?!!!. What do you think ?!! don't you think that Cairo needs badly some cars parks like these you have seen in Manila?
I think also people in Cairo need Houses parks with the same idea … It is fantastic. But you didn't tell how can somebody get his car down from these shelfes and how long would it take ?!!!!

Hi Aladin, I just about have fallen off the face of the earth, I think! The cars are on a type of conveyor belt that goes up and down, as well as left to right, so the attendant uses like a joystick to bring the cars down to the ground floor, then you just get in and drive off. Yeah, can you imagine apartments like this? Too cool! I am back in Melbourne city, hunting for foul 🙂 But am in a mostly Asian part of town so while I can get as much marniated pork or frozen young coconut juice as I can carry, there's no foul…
