We've been consuming mass quanities of travel-related web content as of late.  I've subscribed to a number of blogs that keep a running pulse on the travel world. Here is a selection of random news and notes that caught my eye today:

Well-known Blogger Jason Kottke is in Asia for 3 weeks and blogging a lot. He left Hong Kong for Bangkok just recently.
