8 . Top 4 Best Places to Travel in 2023!
Kyrgyzstan
This offbeat Central Asian nation is perhaps one of the best-kept secrets of adventure travel. The landscapes are vast, mostly green expanses of stunning mountains and valleys-part of the famous Pamir Mountains even roll through the country.
Canada
Canada has endless options to keep your kids entertained-and tired out! It is a beautiful country to visit with a wide variety of great places to stay. You could go to Toronto and enjoy the must-sees such as the CN Tower. The Ontario Science Museum also has hands-on exhibits and hours of play and education-and not just for the kids!
Southeast Asia
Southeast Asia is the region to travel to on a budget. You can find dorm beds for five dollars, and delicious noodles for even less. One week you might be learning to dive in Phuket, and the next week you’re travelling on to Cambodia and through to Vietnam moving across jungle borders by motorbike.
Egypt
The Egyptian pyramids are one of those things that just live up to the hype. After all, it’s not every day you get to be impressed by masterpieces of the ancient world. But while you absolutely should visit all of Egypt’s archeological wonders, you’ll also love how easy it is to get off the beaten track. As Egypt gets very hot, it’s best to plan your trip for the winter-spring months, when temperatures are milder and you can easily spend all day exploring in comfort!
1. Which place is the best to travel to with your kids?A.Kyrgyzstan. | B.Canada. | C.Southeast Asia. | D.Egypt. |
A.It’s the most beautiful place. | B.It’s the best place for adventure. |

9 . Every autumn, we look back at the year’s best tech products, and list some toys for the techie that we think are actually worth purchasing. So have a look at it!
MaskFone
The MaskFone is really just a mask with a pouch (袋子) that holds a pair of Motorola wireless earbuds, but it does solve some highly annoying mask-headphone issues. The earbuds, attached to the belts, stay firmly in your ear when walking or running. No more flying Air Pod when you remove the mask. Then, with the microphone shoved (推) inside, you don’t sound like you’re underwater every time you take a call. Just beware: since there’s no phone insight, people you pass will think you’re talking to them under your mask. $50; maskfone.com
Lexon Oblio Phone Sanitizer/Charger
This stylish nightstand (床头柜) vase is a Qi-compatible (兼容) wireless charger that powers up your phone while bathing it in ultraviolet (紫外线的) light, which is known to reduce the spread of harmful bacteria and may also be effective in inactivating (钝化) the new coronavirus, according to the FDA. $80; lexon-design.com
LuDela Real-Flame Smart Candle
Certainly, our gift guide tends to include some curiosities, but this remote-controlled selflighting candle actually makes sense. It’s not a wax burning candle, but a wax-cylinder (蜡筒) lamp with refillable fuel container that each lasts about 100 hours. So it’s always full size. Each one does cost $99; ludela.com
iRobot Roomba i3+
Forget the past puppy. Get a latest robovac (robotic vacuum (真空) cleaner). The not-so-adorable, not-so-little autonomous vacuum is quick to navigate to the mess and impressively avoids obstacles. It even empties itself into its Clean Base station. Plus, with the improved app you can set its cleaning schedule, keep track of how much area it covered and remotely control it from anywhere in the house.$600; irobot.com

Organized by Lesley Lokko, the 18th international Architecture Exhibition will open in May. Its subject, The Laboratory of the Future, explores the African continent as a leader of the future.

Promoting London as a leading creative capital of the world, London Design Festival continues to play a key role in positioning the city as a global destination for culture.
