PASSPORT Your ticket to travelling in style BETTER THAN PACKING LIGHT The most seasoned travellers will try not to check in bags on short trips. Now, you might be able to do away with hand luggage altogether. The SeV Carry-On Coat (US$225) features 33 concealed, streamlined pockets that let you store everything from toiletries to an iPad. And you won’t have to worry about where everything is because you’re wearing it! Just remember not to leave it at the coat-check counter.  scottevest.com   SEE IT FIRST The UNESCO-listed Ecuadorian city of Quito is considered the best-preserved historical centre in Latin America. It boasts attractions such as Basilica del Voto Nacional (right), the region’s largest Neo-Gothic church; the snow-capped volcano, Cotopaxi; and the Mindo Cloud Forest, a 14,000-ha nature reserve renowned for its waterfalls and bird species. In the last three years, boutique hotels like Nu House and Plaza Grande have opened, while the new international airport that’s slated to open by end 2011, New Quito Airport, is 10 times the size of the existing Mariscal Sucre Airport. A tourism boom in the making.  quito.com   GRAB A LAUGH IN SINGAPORE Side-splitting laughter and hearty guffaws... That's what you'll hear every Tuesday evening at Singapore's Botanic Gardens. Welcome to one of Singapore's Laughter Clubs! Join them at 6.30pm near the Green Pavilion (close to the gates facing Napier Road) for sessions led by motivational trainer and author Zaibun Siraj, who trained under laughter master, Dr Madan Kataria, the founder of the Laughter Club Movement. For more information, visit zaibun.com. FOOD FOR THOUGHT One of the pleasures of travelling is sampling local food, especially in Asia with its huge variety of street food. Coming in handy: the 2011 edition of Hong Kong’s Real Dai Pai Dongs, an independent food guide published by WOM that’s packed with tips on Hong Kong’s atmospheric traditional Chinese eateries; and Thai Street Food, a travel-food-recipe book all in one, by legendary chef David Thompson.  womguide.com  penguin.com PHOTOGRAPHY: PHOTOLIBRARY SHARE
