10. Browse dating websites over the in-flight WiFi
We know that having in-flight WiFi is new and great and magical, but it's best to keep your private profile and your preferences for "18/F/Asian" private. Even if it's something as innocuous as passing the time on HotorNot.com, just remember that you're not the only one who can see your computer screen, and we bet everyone else that can is secretly laughing at you.

Omri — 2009-11-13T09:29:26-05:00

Usually we take a pass on these kinds of cookie-cutter holiday-themed Top 5 lists, if only because they get in the way of our much more nuanced iPhone Top 5 lists. But we felt inspired after seeing this season's billionth travel gear list with a moleskine journal or a foldable alarm clock.

On the very slim chance that you're shopping for a traveler who isn't a hipster but does have a cell phone that doubles as an alarm clock, herein are some reasonably cheap stocking stuffers and one unreasonably expensive one. Because it's already the post-Halloween shopping season. You're already behind, aren't you?

amandak — 2009-11-12T12:29:26-05:00

Being a country mostly made up of immigrants, Australia is not renowned for having its own incredible foods the way, say, somewhere like Italy is. But that doesn't mean that there aren't some very important Aussie foods to try on your trip Down Under. Okay okay, so everyone's knows (and possibly sticks their nose up at) Vegemite, but you can't deny it when in the country; you've got to try it.

And without further ado, we present the list of The Top Five Aussie Foods To Try Down Under:

JetSetCD — 2009-11-11T09:47:45-05:00

Amusement parks, ice-skating rinks, wave pools, and IMAX theatres—believe it or not, these are all found inside of select malls around the world. And although many know of Minnesota's Mall of America, which continues to be a popular road trip destination, the shopping centers that beat it in both size and attractions require an international voyage.

So we spilled the beans; the most shocking malls are not within the United States, but can you guess where they are? Here's a hint: although mall culture is typically associated with North America's suburban malls, a continent on the other side of the world is taking their malls a thousand times more seriously, not to mention larger.

Join us in awe, won't you, as we run down the The World's Top Five Most Shocking Malls, after the jump.

JetSetCD — 2009-11-09T09:29:24-05:00

Today in Berlin, a united city celebrates the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Twenty years is not such a long time, and thus the partiers are peppered with those who not only remember the division of the Wall, but perhaps also participated in the breaking down of it in 1989.

You can imagine how boisterous Berlin is today, and we would love to be there, but we just got back from Berlin a few months ago. So, like you, we're anxious to join in the joy from home by remembering the Wall in other ways. We'll leave the 33,000-strong flash mob to those in Germany right now, and instead focus on The Top 3 Ways To Remember The Fall Of The Berlin Wall...from afar.
