Nights are alive in Dallas, offering visitors a wide ranging variety of lifestyle indulgences ranging from chic to grunge. Stepping out for the evening in this trendy Texas town can feel a little overwhelming, but ask any friendly Texan where to go and they'll answer by asking "what d'y'all like??"

When the going gets tough, the tough go shopping. And even if the “going” means facing hail, sleet, snow or traffic snarls, Canada’s vibrant metropolis, Toronto offers ideal year-round shopping conditions in an underground series of tunnels known as “The Path.” Dating back more than 100 years, the Path’s early origins connected the T. Eaton Company’s main store by tunnel to its bargain outlet. Now The Path is listed by Guinness World Records as the world’s largest underground shopping complex, and the 16 miles (27 km) of underground walkway connect nearly 1,200 retail shops, cafes and restaurants.

It’s no secret that Los Angeles is an international stomping ground. And when you have this many international populations coming together, you know the eating has to be good. Rather than a melting pot, however, the City of Angels is a giant, endless smorgasbord of international feasting. Of course the eats in Los Angeles can range from budget-busting, white-tie extravaganzas to street-side snack stands, so we've eaten our way through the city in order to find some its best international flavors.

Yes, there is Braveheart and bagpipes, but today’s Scotland is also a trend-setting cosmopolitan country where you can find the latest in martini bars crowded with sophisticated Scots whose iPods are filled with indie rock bands. This may seem somewhat at odds with the traditional images of kilts and castles but today’s Scotland is a unique blend of both traditional and trendy, of gourmet haggis and caviar bars.

With one of the oldest histories on the planet, Korea has had more than 5,000 years to develop a strong cultural identity, one that is wholly unique from the rest of the world. While the country is justifiably proud of its ancient traditions, it is also unquestionably a springboard for much of Asia’s pop culture, and the “Hallyu” wave of popular culture is the very foundation of the country’s tourism marketing campaign. To verse themselves in Korea’s traditional or pop culture, visitors need look no further than Seoul, a glittering, urban playground. Like the proverbial phoenix, Seoul has grown from its own ashes, a remarkable feat considering that the city was all but flattened a half-decade ago, during the Korean War.
