• | Poetry in motion In the spring of 1689, the haiku poet Basho traveled from Edo (now Tokyo) to Oku — a term that referred to the northern provinces of Honshu island, then the northern borderlands of Japan. Today, oku has taken on a broader and, for the traveler, alluring meaning — variously, deep north, far province, remote, out of the way. |

• | Ko Chang Until a few years ago, the island of Ko Chang in the Gulf of Thailand was one of those secret travel gems that backpackers in the know only spoke about in whispers. The island's growing popularity and easier access from Bangkok via a new flight route have since opened Ko Chang up to the rest of the world. |

Spend a few days shopping, stroll through Fisherman's Wharf, dine on crab legs or couscous at the city's ever-changing array of restaurants. But when you're done doing the city thing, San Francisco also has a wide range of green spaces where in-the-know locals take a break from the fast-paced urban lifestyle. |
