Glamping.
It was a word I'd never heard of, until two weeks ago.
I came across the strange term while looking for ideas for a short vacation to take my Mom on. There is even a website called www.glamping.com. It defines 'glamping' as 'a way to experience the great outdoors without sacrificing luxury'. The Wiki page on 'glamping' defines it as 'a portmanteau of glamour and camping'.
Though I'm all for fully outdoorsy camping, it didn't seem like a practical idea considering the 5-year-old and the senior we had in our group.
So glamp we did, and boy, was it awesome.
I'll take the next few days to update my travel blog Hopscotch about this trip. The first post is already up, and here's a preview!

The marketing slogan to attract Europeans will likely be: "Come Bintan, return with-tan!"
