    World's best rally roads offer scenery

    Rallying is one of the most accessible forms of sport in the world. Not only do fans get closer to the action than in just about any other event -- too close in some cases -- they can drive cars that are as close to real rally cars as possible and can literally follow in their heroes' tire tracks, driving the same roads used as rally stages all over the world. And, now, five of the greatest names in World Rally Championship (WRC) history have come together to make a DVD that will feature some of the world's best roads that double as rally stages.

    International Buddhist Temple

    Buddhist temple a delight

    When in Rome, do as the Romans do and visit the Vatican. But you don't have to travel the world to seek out great architecture in a spiritual setting. Check out the International Buddhist Temple on Steveston Highway in Richmond (before you get to the famous fishing piers and restaurants at the touristy wharf) and you'll feel that you've gone on a trip to a faraway land.
