If you’ve thought about getting a tattoo, consider the Hotel Erwin . The new Venice Beach property (above) is currently offering an “Ink and Stay” package, which includes a $100 tattoo voucher from the hotel’s in-house tattoo artist, Lubriderm lotion and ice-pack for healing, a bottle of tequila (to numb the pain), temporary tattoos (in case you don’t want something inked for life) and a $500 bonus if you get a tattoo that says “I Heart Hotel Erwin.” The package starts at $399 and is available through the end of the year. Almost the entire population of Easter Island–some 4,000 people–turned out for the island’s first officially sanctioned soccer match.

Hello Everyone, Your Discount Queen has been in San Antonio for most of the past week.  I was actually there on business trip, but all work and no play makes for a very DULL life. Whether you be the Discount Queen or any other person.  While in Texas I decided beforehand to enjoy as much of the local sites as I possibly could without breaking my personal “piggy bank.” This blog is going to be a bit longer than my other postings, as I’m going to go into detail about some really great sites in both San Antonio & Austin.  So, grab a cup of coffee, sit back and enjoy the “journey.” Now before any of you jump to any conclusions.  I was only on the expense account from Sunday through Thursday and this was only for the hotel and some meals.  I was staying at the TowneSuites by Marriott in San Antonio near the San Antonio airport.   Breakfast was provided by the hotel, though in all honesty if I were a true breakfast person I would have STARVED to death.  I mean this place actually offered GREEN bananas for us to eat.  I don’t mean the ones you cook.  I mean a yellow banana that was a 100% green.  A WHOLE bowl of them.  The so-called oatmeal was disgusting.  One day the girl threw the oatmeal in a crockpot, about an inch deep and then about 9 inches of water.

In addition to the myriad delights of the city itself, one of the best things about San Francisco is the ability to get away from it all fairly quickly. In just over 25 minutes, you can find yourself in the Marin Headlands, in the middle of the Bay, or, if you head south down the coast, to the charming enclave of Half Moon Bay. On weekends when everyone in San Francisco seems to be heading up to Marin for a daytrip, cruising south is a great way to get out of town while fighting less traffic and crowds

In my head, I’m sitting here today.  This is the pool at the W Hotel in Los Angeles, which was included in this year’s renovation designed by the Fab Five’s Thom Filicia.  When I first lived in LA we used to hang out at this pool all time.  We’d spend Saturdays ordering cocktails from the outdoor bar and lounging in the sun, all the while remarking how lucky we were that they didn’t seem to care we weren’t hotel guests.   Naturally too many people like us ruined it for everyone and within the next year they cracked down and hired a damn pool bouncer! image by Allison Somers via Elle Decor We were never anywhere fancy enough to rent a cabana, but Thom’s really spruced those up as well.  I’m loving the cute wallpaper that coordinates with the pillows on the pool loungers. The good news is that non-hotel guest riff raff is still allowed to enjoy the outdoor bar and restaurant, The Backyard, also recently renovated.  Note:  I have tried sending drinks and sweet-talking the bouncer from this location.  It doesn’t work.

The site of the would-be drinking patio on Crosby [ via Curbed ] According to a press release sent out by the notorious and aggressive neighborhood group The Soho Alliance , The Morgans Hotel Group withdrew its liquor license applications for two of the outdoor spaces planned for the under-construction Mondrian Hotel at a recent SLA hearing. After a contentious meeting with the Community Board 2 SLA Committee, the developers of the hotel—which sits on Lafayette near Howard— agreed to some crushing stipulations for the outdoor spaces; however the full board overturned the committee’s decision later that month, recommending the SLA outright deny the Mondrian . That decision most likely led to the withdrawal.

To encourage more Chinese to visit the country, South Korea’s Ministry of Justice has announced that it will reduce the number of documents that Chinese tourists need to submit for visa applications. According to the new rules, Chinese citizens now only need to submit credit card statements for the last six months or a copy of an active bank account, and proof of ownership of either a vehicle or real estate or certificate of income. Owners of exclusive credit cards, such as gold or platinum cards, only need to submit credit card statements from the last six months.

But in this economic climate, cheap tourists are still better than none, and Taiwan realises that China will be the major source of income for its tourist industry. Once this tourism trade becomes completely deregulated, it will not longer be an outbound tourism issue, but a domestic tourism issues
