New Bedford

New Bedford is in Massachusetts on the southern coast. New Bedford's excellent harbor made it a natural fishing and whaling center. It was the world's premier whaling port in the 19th century, and, for a time, "the richest city in the world" and "the city that lit the world" because of whale oil production.

New Bedford neighbor Acushnet is the birthplace of the Titleist golf ball and has a population of about 11,0000 (2020).

Understand
New Bedford is a city of 101,000 people (2020), many of Portuguese (particularly Madeira) or Cape Verdean ancestry, still with a great many off the boat immigrants from both. The city has gone through strongly contrasting cycles of poverty and wealth, from its relatively late (by Southeast Massachusetts standards) settlement and foundation, to the peak of the whaling industry, its growth as a textile city in the 20th Century, and the subsequent crash brought on by rapid mill closure in the latter 20th century. It's been known as one of the rougher, seedier locales of New England for a number of decades now, but it's strongly on the upswing since the historic center was declared a federally protected historic site in 1996.

While you'll still find plenty of slums, projects, and tenements throughout the city, you'll also find the waterfront full of narrow cobblestone streets and alleyways, historic 18th- and 19th-century buildings, and upscale restaurants and museums. It's also one of the only fortified cities in the U.S., featuring an impressive (and walkable) gated harbor wall that runs from the South End cove across the mouth of the Acushnet river to neighboring Fairhaven. Additionally, there are pockets of grandeur in most parts of the city, with a long stretch of Victorian mansions on County Street that features some truly jaw-dropping architecture, akin to Newport's humbler dwellings. Though the downtown is perfectly safe at night these days, many neighborhoods are still dangerous and walking through them is not advised.

Newberg

Newberg is a city in the Willamette Valley region of Oregon. Often referred to as "the gateway to Oregon Wine Country", Newberg is a short drive from Portland and has a small, walkable old-town with retail, bars, restaurants, and wine tasting rooms.

Understand
With a population of 27,000 in 2019, it is the second largest city in Yamhill County. Anchoring the northern tip of the fertile Willamette Valley, Newberg's cash crops of berries and stone fruits transitioned to hazelnut orchards and now are dominated by the wine business.

By car
Newberg is most easily visited by private automobile:
 * OR 99W.svg is the main thoroughfares to and through Newberg, entering from Sherwood and the Portland metro area in the northeast corner as E Portland Rd, goes through the city as Hancock (WB)/1st St (EB); and exiting to the southwest towards Dundee, McMinnville, and the Oregon coast as Pacific Hwy W. The majority of Newberg's retail establishments are also along 99W. The well-signed Newberg-Dundee bypass route skirts the southern end of town on a limited-access road and terminates past Dundee.
 * OR 219.svg NE Hillsboro Hwy enters from the north as N College St, connecting Newberg to Hillsboro and Beaverton via a scenic drive over Chehalem mountain and exits to the south across rolling farmland towards St. Paul and Woodburn and Interstate 5 as the Hillsboro-Silverton Hwy.
 * OR 240.svg exits Newberg to the west connecting to Yamhill passing by hay fields, hazelnut orchards, and vineyards. In town it goes north from Hwy 99W (W Hancock/1st) as Main St.
 * OR 18.svg serves as the Newberg-Dundee Bypass Hwy from Hwy 219 south of town. From Hwy 99W (Portland Rd) go down Springbrook Rd to Hwy 219 and then south on Hwy 219 to Hwy 18 at the west end. It joins Hwy 99W in Dundee, southeast of town.
 * Wilsonville Rd. offers a winding trip through agricultural land and forested areas directly to Wilsonville and I-5.

By bus

Connections to Amtrak, Greyhound, Oregon Point and other bus lines are in Portland and Salem.

Get around
Getting around Newberg can be done by car, on foot, or any other method you prefer. Newberg is a fairly small town and very easy to find your way around.

Eat
Newberg has a variety of eateries spanning from global chain restaurants to elevated world-class dining experiences.

Budget
Broadly speaking, most budget options are on the east side of town accessible from 99W directly.

Splurge
Local specialty establishments often focus on local, regional, and seasonal ingredients with wine parings if desired.

Champoeg
Champoeg, now a ghost town across the Willamette River (6.6 mi SE) from Newberg, was the seat of the first provisional government of the Oregon Country. In 1843, the Oregon Trail land rush was launched here with an offer of a square mile (640 acres) of Willamette Valley farmland free to each couple who built a homestead. The town site, which included a Hudson's Bay Company granary, steamboat landings and ferry crossings, was destroyed by a December 1861 flood.

New Bern

New Bern is a city of 31,000 people (2020) in the coastal region of the state of North Carolina. New Bern has three historic districts with homes, stores, and churches dating as far back as the early 18th century.

Understand
New Bern was founded in 1710 by Swiss and German adventurers led by Baron Christoph von Graffenried from Bern, Switzerland. The coat of arms of the Swiss city included a bear, which lead to the New Bern city mascot being a bear. Bears are a recurring motif within the city - from names of businesses, to statues found throughout, to the "Bear City" nickname for the city itself. Royal Governor William Tryon made New Bern the colonial capital. His restored 18th-century capitol and residence, Tryon Palace, dominates a thirteen-acre garden complex that includes several historical landmarks in the heart of the city.

A major port and trading center in the 1800s, New Bern was captured and occupied by the Union Army after a fierce battle on March 14, 1862. In 1898, the pharmacist Caleb Bradham invented Pepsi Cola in his pharmacy at the intersection Middle and Pollock Street. The building still exists.

Get in
Generally, those who come to New Bern come in from Raleigh-Durham International Airport via rental car or through the local airport, Coastal Carolina Regional Airport, with flights on Delta and American Airlines. I-40 and I-95 are interstate highways that run relatively close to New Bern, which is located on US Highway 70, NC 17, and US Highway 17.

Bus service is provided by Greyhound. Buses stop at 4010 Martin Luther King Blvd, nowhere near downtown, so you'll have to figure out some way to get into town from the bus stop.

Get around
The downtown shopping district is walkable. Elsewhere in town a car is necessary. There is no public transportation and taxis are rare and expensive.

Buy
There are lots of quirky little shops in downtown New Bern. A thriving artist's community in town and the surrounding area support a variety of art galleries.

New Braunfels

New Braunfels is a resort town in the Texas Hill Country. As the name implies, it has a German heritage, and many of the local attractions capitalize on this.

Understand
New Braunfels is usually considered a vacation destination. While it has no university of its own, it has a distinct college town feel, probably due to the huge numbers of students from universities in nearby San Antonio and San Marcos. Most of the town's revenue comes from tourism drawn by the incredible rivers, including the Comal River, which is the world's shortest, entirely located within the city limits.

New Braunfels is also the home of several other smaller "towns" within the city. One of these "towns" is Gruene, TX, home of the Gristmill Restaurant and Gruene Hall.

Talk
As elsewhere in the region, English and Spanish are the primary languages. But if you're lucky, you might overhear the odd conversation in Texas German, a dialect brought here by 19th-century immigrants that's still today spoken by a few hundred New Braunfelsians. If you're keen on encountering the Texas German language in the wild, it's best to gravitate toward places where older people congregate, such as bowling alleys, hardware and feed stores, and the like.

Get in
New Braunfels is situated on IH-35 at SH-46, near the Comal and Guadalupe rivers. Access to New Braunfels is accessible via private plane charter, highway access, and the Greyhound Bus Line. Airport shuttles from Austin and San Antonio are available. From San Antonio, head north on IH-35 about half an hour (30 miles) until you reach the SH-46 exit. From Austin, head south on IH-35 for about an hour (60 miles), past San Marcos, and exit SH-46. From Houston, head west on IH-10 about two and a half hours (150 miles), exit SH-46, and head north for about 15 minutes (14 miles more).

By car
Personal vehicle travel is the only effective motorized transportation in town. Print, download, or buy a local map and brave the roads. Traffic during summer weekends is very heavy. Prince Solms Park often has free parking after the for-pay lot is full. Parking costs $5-10 depending on location. Many tube rental shops offer free parking all day with rental.

By bicycle
With heavy traffic and crowded roads, bicycle and foot are appealing travel options. There are a few bicycle rental shops in town. Remember that bicycles are considered vehicles in the eyes of law enforcement, so obey all traffic laws.

Rivers
The Comal and Guadalupe rivers offer beautiful sights.

Gruene
A historic district. Visiting this little "town" situated along the Guadalupe River is like stepping back in time. Antique shops, restaurants, and niche retail stores make for unique shopping.

Tubing
This seems to be what the Comal river was created for. People rent an innertube, hop in the water, and float a few miles down the river. The services of a tubing shuttle are often employed to get from the end back to the insertion point, but because of loops in the river it's a short walk. The anti-littering rules are strong and enforced; do not take anything disposable on the river, including beverages in disposable containers, plastic baggies, or anything made of glass or styrofoam. Coolers with a capacity over 16 quarts is prohibited in city limits on the river. It's okay to drink beer on the river, but consumption or carrying an open container of an alcoholic drink in city parks.

Sleep
In high season, hotels can fill. If this happens to you, consider a hotel in nearby Seguin or San Marcos.

Go next

 * San Antonio is a nearby city with a lot of history and attractions.
 * San Marcos - 18 miles northeast of New Braunfels, San Marcos is the home of Texas State University and its Aquarena Center, two massive outlet malls that have more than 350 shops, as well as stretches of river in a more natural state.
 * Austin is the capital of Texas, has endless quirks and is definitely worth a visit.

New Britain

New Britain is a large island region in Papua New Guinea.

Regions
Administratively, New Britain is divided up into two of Papua New Guinea's provinces, East New Britain and West New Britain.

 * East New Britain. This province covers a total land area of around 16,000 square kilometres. The population is close to 250,000. Sixteen languages are spoken in this province, with the dominant tribe being the Tolai. Its former capital, Rabaul, was arguably the most beautiful city in PNG before it was devastated by a volcanic eruption in 1994. After the eruption the capital was moved to nearby Kokopo.
 * West New Britain. The province has an area of 21,000 km², and there are around 200,000 inhabitants. Compared with much of the rest of PNG the economy is relatively thriving, in part as a result of logging and oil palm production. There are seven major tribes speaking about 25 languages. The capital is Kimbe.

Cities

 * — the capital city of East New Britain province. Destroyed by volcanic eruption in 1994 and still slowly getting back to normal. Many ruins from the Japanese wartime occupation and great diving to see wrecks, and amazing coral and fish.
 * - a thriving port, capital city of West New Britain province and an important dive centre.

Talk

 * Three local languages: Kuanua, Minigir, and Bilur.
 * Tribal Duk-Duk language: An easy-to-learn and fascinating language with a rich and colourful history.

Get in
Both Rabaul and Kimbe (Hoskins airport) are served with regular flights by Air Niugini connecting them with the nation's capital, Port Moresby and other major cities such as Lae and Kavieng.

Do note though, that there are no roads connecting New Britain with anywhere else.

Get around
Although there are good roads in the immediate vicinity of both Rabaul and Kimbe, most of the island's coastline has no roads. It is not possible to drive between the two main cities. Passenger accommodation is available on some coastal shipping between Kimbe and Rabaul.

Do

 * Diving. There is good diving around both Kimbe and Rabaul and dive companies to support you. Apart from the excellent marine life, there are numerous wrecks from World War II to explore.
 * War relics. New Britain was occupied by the Japanese in World War II. Particularly in the Rabaul area there are still visible many reminders of this occupation, including numerous tunnels built into the rocks.

New Brunswick

 * For the article on the city in New Jersey, see New Brunswick (New Jersey).

New Brunswick (French: Nouveau-Brunswick; NB) is one of the Atlantic Provinces of Canada, and the country's only bilingual province with both English and French as official languages. While the province covers a land area the size of Ireland, there are only 780,000 inhabitants (2020), most of them along the coasts and in the Saint John River Valley. The inland consists of sparsely populated forest.

The Mi'kmaq is the dominant First Nation (Indigenous people) in New Brunswick.

Cities

 * — capital city and the cultural, artistic and educational centre of the province
 * — a mining, fishing and forestry centre with access to some beautiful wilderness areas
 * — connected by bridge to Quebec, it has a strong Acadian heritage
 * — 95% francophone, and centre of the Brayon culture, which many consider to be neither Acadian nor Québécois, and home of the New Brunswick Botanical Garden
 * — "Canada's Irish Capital", and is home to an annual Irish festival
 * — largest city in the province, and home to the Magnetic Hill Optical Illusion
 * — a seaside resort town with a proud United Empire Loyalist heritage
 * — the province's second-largest city, and Canada's oldest incorporated city
 * — calls itself the "lobster capital of the world"; the approach to the town is guarded by an 11-metre-long, 5-metre-tall, 90-tonne statue of a lobster

Other destinations

 * — a popular summer colony for wealthy Canadians and Americans, including Franklin D. Roosevelt
 * — the park's rugged coastline experiences the highest tides in the world; more than 25 waterfalls
 * — a beautiful island, made up of several small fishing communities
 * — barrier islands, sand dunes, lagoons, salt marshes and forests,

Understand
The province's name comes from the English and French translation for the city of Braunschweig in Lower Saxony, northern Germany, the ancestral home of the Hanoverian King George III of the United Kingdom.

History and language
New Brunswick is part of historic Acadia, an early 17th-century French colony in North America. The site of the French and Indian War between the British and French from 1754-1763, Acadia was forcibly depopulated by the British and its inhabitants dispersed; most would eventually settle in Louisiana, where their descendants are known as the Cajuns (a corruption of the French word Acadien). After the conclusion of the war, the British allowed small numbers of Acadians to return to their homeland on the condition that they pledge their loyalty to the British crown. Most of these returnees settled in New Brunswick, with smaller numbers settling in Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Quebec and what is today the U.S. state of Maine.

As such, there is a noticeable divide within New Brunswick. If one splits the province diagonally from Moncton in the southeast to Grand Falls in the northwest, the Acadian (northeast) and anglophone (Southwest) divide is almost exact. This divide does not result in significant ill will; however the divide definitely exists within older generations of the province.

Southwestern New Brunswick is United Empire Loyalist country. Loyal British subjects who opposed the 1776 armed insurrection in the colonies to the south, which were to become the United States of America, settled in the southwest in 1784. Fredericton's streets were laid out in the form of the Union Jack.

Landscape
If one were to callously describe the landscape of New Brunswick, one would describe it as largely being comprised of trees. Logging is a major industry within the province, and softwood forests dominate the interior. Outside of those forests are a number of areas of maple forests, resulting in the production of maple products such as maple syrup in the province.

The rural areas of New Brunswick offer a range of small rivers, lakes, and swampland which make canoeing a common weekend activity in much of the province. Hiking paths are also common, though more prevalent within parklands.

In coastal areas, the scenery of New Brunswick comes to the fore, ranging from the warm sandy beaches of the East coast in Kouchibouguak National Park to the rugged southern coastline. New Brunswick is also home to large tidal forces, and as such has claim to the highest tides in the world.

Climate
Much of New Brunswick's climate is moderated by the extreme proximity of the ocean, resulting in mild summers, and winters which are mild relative to the temperatures seen in Ontario and the prairie provinces. The recorded temperature has ranged from -47.2°C (-53°F) in 1955, at Sisson Dam in the northwest, to 39.4°C (102.9°F) in 1935, at Nepisiguit Falls in the northeast. Winter temperatures are most commonly in the range of -5°C to -15°C, and summer temperatures from 15°C to 25°C.

Snowfall is common during the winter months, however snow does not typically accumulate in large amounts until late December.

Tourism
Tourism is a good source of revenue for much of the province, and during busy periods of the summer, book ahead to ensure rooms are available. Due to the relatively limited range of options within the province when following the Trans-Canada Highway, a very busy weekend could result in the closest available rooms being hours of travel away. Outside of peak times, however, accommodations are quite plentiful.

New Brunswick gets a lot of through-traffic, as it is often used as a gateway to Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and Cape Breton, which are all reached via New Brunswick. Parts of New Brunswick, however, such as the southern coast and the southeastern coast, offer lovely scenery, and some excellent beaches.

Many of the star attractions close soon after Labour Day (the first Monday in September); travellers visiting in the fall will find their options limited, even though weather remains amenable to travel well into October.
 * New Brunswick Tourism website

Sports
There are a few major junior hockey teams in New Brunswick. These are the Saint John Sea Dogs, who play in the city of Saint John, the Moncton Wildcats who play in the city of Moncton and the Acadie-Bathurst Titans who play in the city of Bathurst.

Talk

 * See also: French phrasebook

New Brunswick is the only province in Canada that is officially bilingual (English and French). Francophones speak a dialect known as Acadian French. Acadian French is distinct from Quebec French, since Acadia's history is separate from that of Quebec. Acadian French speakers are instantly recognizable by their charming and strongly trilled r. It is similar to the dialect spoken by Francophones in Acadiana, Louisiana.

Near Moncton and in other urban areas, you might hear a distinct variety of Acadian French known as Chiac (its name comes from the city of Shediac, right in the middle of the region where it's spoken). It's frowned upon as "bad French" by Francophones and "bad English" by Anglophones, but not a language of its own. Some effort is being made to rehabilitate Chiac, with a nascent literature and support organizations. Standard Acadian French is spoken on the Acadian Peninsula, though Chiac may also be used informally by some younger people.

The English/French split within the province is approximately a northeast/southwest split. Despite the split, English is spoken throughout most of the province. French speakers may struggle to find fluent French speakers in the southwest of the province, and conversely, English speakers may struggle to find fluent English speakers on the Acadian Peninsula and in the northwest of the province.

By car
New Brunswick has road links with Quebec, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Maine.

 * Traffic from Maine passes via two major points; route 95 linking Woodstock and Houlton, and route 1, which links St. Stephen in New Brunswick and Calais in Maine. Route 95 is the larger of the two connections, however the scenery in the St. Stephen/Calais area is unquestionably more attractive.
 * Traffic from Nova Scotia can pass via three routes:
 * Most traffic invariably passes along Highway 104 (in Nova Scotia) / Route 2 (in New Brunswick), part of the Trans-Canada Highway, which enters Nova Scotia just after passing through Aulac. As a side note, Aulac is home to one of the chain of Irving Big Stops, and can be a good stopping point for travellers attempting to cover a large distance in a short space of time. (Food on offer is typical truck stop fare.)
 * Tourists arriving from Prince Edward Island have the option of taking New Brunswick Route 970 out of Port Elgin, which becomes Route 366 on the Nova Scotia side. This route offers a better view of rural life in the maritimes, and can be quite a nice drive when time permits. That said, the drive clearly involves smaller roads and lower speeds. Additionally, these roads are not as well maintained or cleared as the Trans-Canada Highway during winter storms.
 * 2 km northeast of Route 2 (Trans-Canada Highway), there is a narrow local roadway, Mount Whatley Road, which connects the communities of Whatley and Fort Lawrence, (Nova Scotia). This route passes through sparsely populated rural farmland and, unless you're intending to drive south along Route 16 to Fort Lawrence, it is unlikely that you would use it.
 * Traffic from Quebec can follow two routes:
 * The majority of traffic passes via the Trans-Canada Highway which connects Edmunston and Riviere Du Loup.
 * Traffic headed to or from the east coast of New Brunswick will pass by Campbellton, heading to Amqui, and then either west towards Riviere Du Loup, or east towards Gaspe.
 * The Confederation Bridge links New Brunswick with Prince Edward Island, and is almost a visitor attraction in itself, at least for bridge aficionados and those fond of large amounts of concrete. (Viewing stations on the New Brunswick side offer good photo opportunities, again for bridge lovers and engineers.) It crosses the Northumberland Strait between New Brunswick and PEI. The Confederation Bridge connects Route 16 (in New Brunswick) near Aulac with Highway 1 (in Prince Edward Island), and stretches 13 km across open water to the island. Route 16 and Highway 1 are part of a branch of the Trans-Canada Highway. The $47 toll (2-axle vehicle) is collected on the PEI side when returning to the mainland.

By plane

 * Greater Moncton International Airport is a small modern airport. The airport lies to the east of Moncton, on the edge of Dieppe, a suburb of Moncton. The airport has standard shops and fast food outlets, but past security, there are few shops and food services. Taxis and limited hotel shuttle services are available from the airport, but no public transport serves the airport. Moncton airport is served by Air Canada, Air Canada Express, Porter Airlines, United Airlines, and WestJet.

By train
Operates The Ocean, which travels between Halifax and Montreal via Moncton. There are three trains per direction per week. It provides a somewhat limited service along the Eastern coast of New Brunswick, entering the province from Nova Scotia at Aulac, and then passing through Moncton, up to Bathurst, and then from Campbellton across the border into Quebec, eventually terminating in Montreal.

Options for the trains vary, as two different types of rolling stock are in use. Standard class involves sitting for the entire journey, while a range of berths, single rooms, double bedrooms, and sitting rooms are available, depending on the cars in use. Standard class is feasible, but an exhausting option!

By car
Travel by car is the easiest way to see New Brunswick. The Trans-Canada Highway and four-lane highways cross much of the southern stretch of the province. Drivers accustomed to any major metropolitan traffic will find most intercity roads to be very lightly used, even in summer months.

The roads of New Brunswick are patrolled by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), and speed traps are sometimes in place. Speed limits have no official tolerance in them; however typically travel under 10 km/h above the speed limit will not attract attention. RCMP officers are not always known for their sense of humour, however, where speeding (or anything else) is concerned, and tickets may be issued for any speed above the posted limits. If you are pulled over by the RCMP, typical North American rules for police interaction apply; keep your hands on the steering wheel while being approached by the police, and be respectful at all times.

As with much of Canada, winter roads are more dangerous, and travellers are advised to treat the roads with caution. Winter tires are recommended for long distance travel; however snow chains are only necessary on very rural roads and private roads. When travelling during the winter, drivers should carry an emergency kit with a source of heat, blankets, and an amount of food to ensure that being caught in a storm is only an inconvenience, rather than a life-threatening issue.

In some winter storm conditions, roads such as the Trans-Canada link between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia can be closed due to whiteout conditions.

See
Fredericton, the province's capital, is a small but graceful city that hosts the province's Legislative Assembly, the Historic Garrison District, the Old Government House, and the surprisingly good Beaverbrook Gallery.

The Kings Landing Historical Settlement offers an excellent view of daily life in the Maritimes in the 19th century. The Village Historique Acadien in Bertrand (near Caraquet) is based on French-language Acadian history instead of British Loyalist heritage. Le Pays de la Saguine is another reproduction of an Acadian village on the east coast of New Brunswick.

New Brunswick has some unusual attractions to offer, such as the Old Sow. With a diameter of 75 m (250 feet), off the south-western shore of Deer Island, Old Sow is the largest tidal whirlpool in the western hemisphere. The Grand Falls and Gorge show the power of the Saint John River. The World Pond Hockey Championships held annually in the village Plaster Rock are the pre-eminent pond hockey tournament in the world, and draw teams and visitors from several countries.

Do
New Brunswick has several beautiful parks. Kouchibouguac National Park, on the shores of the Northumberland Strait, is home to much wildlife and glorious beaches. It is probably best known for its sand dunes, and shallow protected tidal pool beaches, which offer very warm swimming. Camping is available Roosevelt Campobello International Park was U.S president Franklin D. Roosevelt's summer retreat from 1921 to 1936 on the southern portion of Campobello island was born. Mount Carleton Provincial Park includes the highest mountain in the Maritimes and several other peaks with trails that are perfect for wilderness lovers

Near the village of Alma, Fundy National Park is 207 km² of coast and inland forest. The park has several campgrounds which include wilderness and more comfortable ones. There are more than 20 waterfalls in the park. The Reversing Falls is a one-of-a-kind adventure where the flow of the Saint John River reverses when the Bay of Fundy is at high tide. Hopewell Rocks are a group of Flowerpot rocks east of Moncton.

The Fundy Coast Trail forms part of the Trans Canada Trail in New Brunswick.

The World Acadian Congress is held every 5 years (the next is planned for 2024) to strengthen the ties that unite Acadian communities, while demonstrating the modernity and reality of Acadian identity. The Congress is also an opportunity to welcome all those who are interested and who love Acadia. Family celebrations alone will attract tens of thousands of people throughout the event which is expected to receive around 100,000 participants. There will be shows, activities for young people, conferences, diverse cultural and artistic activities.

Eat
New Brunswick offers a wide variety of restaurants ranging from seafood to Oriental to fast food to Acadian. One of the province's specialties is fiddleheads (fern fronds, served as a vegetable), which are found in the Saint John River Valley area. Poutine rapée, a boiled potato dumpling with a pork filling, is a dish served along the Acadian coast area.

Drink
The drinking age is 19.

Founded in 1867, Moosehead Beer is Canada's oldest independent brewery, and the local favourite. Brewed in Saint John, it is "exported" across the country. The craft beer revolution has also come to New Brunswick: there are many microbreweries throughout the province, and especially in Moncton, Fredericton, and St. John.

There is also a winery on Magnetic Hill in Moncton that makes drinkable grape and rhubarb wines.

Go next
Many travellers pass through New Brunswick to reach other parts of the Maritimes. When passing through New Brunswick, it is advisable to use the number 2 highway, which passes along the border with Maine before turning east and passing through Fredericton and Moncton.

More adventurous travellers can find more to see by following highway 11 up the east coast of the province, and then cutting across the province via the remote road connecting Miramichi to Plaster Rock. This road is used largely by logging trucks, and there is only one gas station, which is approximately halfway along the road.
 * Quebec City can be reached in a day's drive from most points in Western New Brunswick.
 * Boston is 8-9 hours by car, and New York City is 12-13 hours away.
 * Maine borders on New Brunswick's east, and is within three hours drive from almost all parts of New Brunswick. While the major road connecting them is the Woodstock-to-Holton route 95, much more attractive coastal scenery can be found driving along the south coast to the St. Stephen/Calais border.
 * Prince Edward Island used to be a ferry ride away from New Brunswick, but the ferry connection with New Brunswick was closed in 1997, with the creation of the Confederation Bridge. To protect transport trucks from the high winds of the Northumberland Strait, high concrete walls are in place which diminish the potentially excellent views the bridge could offer.
 * Nova Scotia is readily accessible from much of New Brunswick.

New Brunswick (New Jersey)

New Brunswick is a city in Middlesex County, New Jersey. It's the home of Rutgers University.

By train

 * Amtrak serves New Brunswick station. It offers an express train that is slightly faster; however, the cost of a ticket (>$27) is greater than the cost of an NJ Transit train ($14.00) For those traveling from Baltimore and other points south, the Amtrak is a good option, and some travelers from as close as Philadelphia may also choose Amtrak in order to have a one-train trip and avoid having to change from the Philadelphia-area SEPTA trains to NJ Transit in Trenton.
 * New Jersey Transit - Northeast Corridor line. Service between New Brunswick station and New York City's Penn Station can be between 30 and 70 minutes, depending on the time of day and whether the train is running on the local or express route (both run at different times throughout the day). Local service is available to other New Jersey Transit stations such as Newark Penn Station, Newark Airport, and Trenton (as such, New Brunswick is also an easy trip from Philadelphia via transfer from SEPTA). If you come in late at night, you might wind up having to walk through a few cars and disembark at the low platform. If the trains strike the occasional fool who mistakenly walks onto the tracks, trains can be delayed by several minutes. New Brunswick boasts two stations, one at the center of the city on Albany Street (Route 27) and one near the North Brunswick border along Jersey Avenue (Route 91).

By bus

 * New Jersey Transit buses have several stops in New Brunswick, one of which happens to be on Route 27. However, the major New Jersey Transit bus hub is centered upon the New Brunswick train station (at its northern end) and along George Street (which is essentially the centerpiece of New Brunswick's downtown area).
 * Suburban Transit stops in front of the train station, and comes from both Princeton and New York. The main Suburban Transit bus depot is also in New Brunswick, and is next to the New Brunswick White Castle restaurant. (Yes, Harold and Kumar fans, there is a White Castle in this town.) It is further down the bus route from New York City than the train station is, but only a couple of minutes further.
 * Megabus stops in downtown New Brunswick and comes from New York.

By car
New Brunswick can be accessed by Interstate 287 Exit 10 (Easton Ave, New Brunswick), Exit 9 off of NJ Turnpike/I-95, U.S. Route 1, NJ Route 18, Livingston Ave, and Route 27 by way of Highland Park, across the Raritan River.

By foot or bicycle
From Highland Park, several of the bridges across the Raritan River are open to pedestrians and cyclists. The river is rather broad but easily walkable for healthy individuals. One can also come in from the south by way of Millstone (New Jersey) from East Brunswick or up Ryders Lane in East Brunswick, or by walking down the sidewalks of Easton Avenue from the west. (Note: Approaches from the south and west can get pretty hilly.)

Get around
Buses (and bicycles) are the most effective means of traversing throughout New Brunswick. NJ Transit travels throughout the city. Rutgers University has buses that travel all around the campus, and you don't have to be a student to utilize them. Taxis are also prevalent (but relatively expensive), and the size of the town is such that walking is not out of the question.

Driving is also possible but parking is difficult to find in the downtown area and expensive. Most on-street parking in the downtown area is 2-hour only Monday-Friday, and parking garages tend to run about $1.50-$2 per hour. On-street regulations are suspended on the weekend but most spots are taken by residents. Some garages, such as the Lower Church Street garage, are free on Saturdays if you park before 5PM.

Traffic gets unbelievably stuck up after football games and Rutgersfest, with cars and buses often coming to a standstill on Route 18 and in neighboring Piscataway, as well as in downtown New Brunswick. So give yourself extra time on those occasions. Route 18 may also become jammed between the hours of 4 and 6PM, due to rush hour traffic.

See

 * Downtown: Downtown New Brunswick is home to a plethora of restaurants and bars. For entertainment, there are clubs such as Club Platinum for dancing and the Stress Factory for comedy. New Brunswick's nightlife is excellent for a city its size. The Court Tavern is the best place to catch up and coming local bands, helping make famous such acts as the Smithereens, Ween and DefTime. Johnson and Johnson's, the makers of the Band-Aid and Johnson's Baby Shampoo, has their headquarters here.
 * George St/Monument Square: George St./Monument Square is home to the Performing Arts of New Brunswick (as well as an art gallery and urban planning school). The State Theater, where big name acts are constantly booked, is here. At the George St playhouse, right next to it, you can catch a variety of plays.
 * Bucceleuch Park: up College Avenue from the train station, past the college campus. A Revolutionary War mansion is the centerpiece of this park.
 * Chabad House, Hillel House, the old churches, the Theological Seminary, and Congregation Poile Zedek: New Brunswick's colorful religious institutions. Those are located both on College Ave. and downtown.

Do
There are several pleasant parks within the city limits.

Concerts and theatrical performances take place at several venues including the George Street Playhouse in the center of town.

New Brunswick also has a thriving underground music scene with small DIY shows happening in basements, homes, galleries and other unexpected locations. These shows are often very secretive, and their locations aren't advertised, but instead spread via word of mouth.

There are also clubs, including:

Rutgers University has Division I NCAA teams in several sports, including football and basketball. Attend a match.

Buy
Antiques, five-and-dime stuff, clothing, old books, etc., can be found in the George St. district. Rutgers-branded merchandise is sold in many shops on Easton Ave.

Eat
New Brunswick is home to several 4-star restaurants and, typical of a college town, it has dozens of options for casual dining. Most of the upscale dining is clustered in the downtown section around George St, all within easy walking distance of the train station. Most of the college-oriented restaurants are focused on Easton Avenue, also within easy walking distance of the station (albeit uphill), although there are some downtown as well.
 * Stuff Yer Face, a good stromboli restaurant and sports bar, Easton Ave. (Food Network fans should note that this is where Mario Batali got his earliest "professional" cooking experience.)
 * Edo, Japanese restaurant, Easton Ave.
 * Evelyn's, Lebanese cuisine, Easton Ave.
 * Efes, Turkish restaurant, Easton Ave.
 * Hotoke, George St. Japanese restaurant.
 * Tumulty's Pub. American cuisine. George St.

 * Several lunch-oriented places are in the downtown district as well.

Drink
Since New Brunswick is a college town, you can't walk far without bumping into a few bars. There are two main bar areas in New Brunswick. Easton Ave. is mostly a college-age crowd, while George St. caters to young professionals and a somewhat older crowd. There are other bars scattered about New Brunswick that cater to a non-college clientele.

Cope

 * Hospitals: Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital (on French Little Albany Street) and St. Peter's Medical Center (on Easton Avenue) are centered in New Brunswick, giving it the title of the Health Center of New Jersey.

Stay safe
The Rutgers College campus is generally safe for visitors and students. The Rutgers University Police or RUPD is a very noticeable presence in the city. If you have trouble, approach one of the officers (made clear by their red uniforms) and they'll be more than happy to help you. However, like most college cities, New Brunswick has its share of social problems. Homeless beggars hang out on George Street and near Rutgers bus stops, and will ask for money. Accept it as a by-product of a college town, which attracts visitors and money. However, the homeless are not aggressive and will leave you alone if you say "no." The most common crime is theft. Keep your belongings close to you, especially wallets, phones, and iPods.

Some neighborhoods are dodgy and unsafe at night. Don't wander around alone at night, especially beyond Samson Street and frat row. Certain streets near Rockoff Hall should also be avoided late at night. Muggings do occur, mostly after midnight, and both males and females should travel in a group to stay safe.

On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, drunken behavior is rampant. If aggressively confronted in a bar or on the streets, walk away.

Go next

 * New York City is easily accessible by train. NJ Transit trains to New York Penn Station take 1 hour.
 * Philadelphia is also easily accessible by train. A train ride will take about an hour to an hour and a half.
 * Princeton is not very far away and is a very pleasant small college town, although truth be told, it's more likely that a Princetonian will be found in New Brunswick than the other way around.

Newburgh (New York)

Newburgh is a small, riverside city in Orange County, New York.

Understand
Located on the west banks of the mighty Hudson River with a population of 28,856 in 2020, Newburgh is a city with a long history. Once an important retail and industrial community on the river some north of the City of New York, Newburgh fell on hard times during the latter half of the 20th century, when the city's industrial base diminished, racial conflicts began heating up, and the urban renewal projects designed to combat the issues in the 1960s and 1970s ran into trouble.

Despite all this, Newburgh is home to many incredible historic landmarks and some absolutely breathtaking views of the Hudson and the surrounding area. It is also a very diverse community, rich in many different cultures, and is home to Mount Saint Mary College – an excellent liberal arts college.

Get in
The small is located  east of Newburgh in and has limited flights by American, Delta and JetBlue Airways.

There is a ferry which crosses the Hudson from Newburgh, which connects with nearby Beacon and its Metro-North station. Sailings are limited to serve commuters, with departures at 5-9AM and 5-8:30PM. is next to downtown and the marina. Newburgh has no railway services in itself, but Metro North serves Beacon during peak hours with its Hudson Line from Grand Central Terminal in New York City. Beacon station is next to the ferry landing, allowing for an easy transfer.

Stay safe
While there are some very nice areas of the city, Newburgh is still a city, and there are many areas which suffer from poverty, drug use, and gang violence – in addition to illegal immigration. Much of the violence in the city is not targeted against tourists, and so if you use common sense and mind your own business, you will be fine.

At night, it is best to stick to a car if you must move about the area – and it is equally-wise to stick to the most heavily-used routes and to avoid venturing into an area which appears shade (this latter tip is also applicable for during the day). If you must walk at night, be sure to avoid walking alone – especially if you are a woman.

Just as you would anywhere else in the United States, in case of an emergency, dial 911.

Newbury and Thatcham

Newbury and Thatcham are adjoining towns in the county of Berkshire, in the South East of England.

Newbury is the principal town in the west of the county, and is a historic market town. Thatcham is a dormitory town some three miles to the east, with little obvious boundary between the two towns.

Understand
Newbury has a population of about 42,000 (2018) and is something of a booming company town as it houses the world headquarters of Vodafone, a major mobile phone operator with operations in many countries.

Newbury also attracted a lot of national and international coverage in the 1980s when it was the scene of the Greenham Common Peace camp in protest at the stationing of nuclear armed cruise missiles at a nearby air base, and in the 1990s when it hosted perhaps the most famous road protest against the Newbury bypass. The vast majority of the population probably did not appreciate either campaign.

Thatcham is best known as England's fastest growing town, with large housing areas being built to house a population which largely commutes to work in Newbury, Reading or London.

Visitors may hear both the terms 'Newbury District' and 'West Berkshire' in use; these are effectively synonymous and refer to the town of Newbury and its surrounding rural area. They are also the old and new names for the local government which runs the area that includes Newbury and Thatcham.

Newbury is the birthplace of Michael Bond, the author who was best known for creating the beloved children's character Paddington Bear.

By train
Newbury and Thatcham have rail stations on the main line from London to Exeter, Plymouth and Penzance. Some through trains between those cities stop at Newbury Station, but these are relatively infrequent. Local trains stop at both stations and run from Reading approximately every half hour taking some 20 to 30 minutes for the journey; some local trains start their journeys in London. From London, travel from London Paddington Station and, if necessary, change at Reading. Train times (from any station) can be found on the National Rail Planner or by calling 0845-748-4950 from anywhere in the UK.

By car
Newbury is 17 miles west of Reading on the A4, 18 miles north-west of Basingstoke on the A339, 26 miles south of Oxford on the A34, 27 miles east of Swindon on the M4 and 25 miles north of Winchester on the A34. Thatcham is 3 miles east of Newbury on the A4.

The M4 motorway also runs just to the north of Newbury, for which the junction is number 13.

By plane
If arriving by plane, see the 'Get In By Plane' section of the Reading article, and then travel on from Reading as described above.

By bicycle

 * The towns are on National Cycle Route 4 running London and Fishguard.
 * National Cycle Route 246 starts 8 miles W of Newbury (in Kintbury) running to Timsbury (Hants) via Andover.

By boat
The towns are on the Kennet & Avon Canal (running 87 miles from Bristol & Bath to Reading).

By foot
The central area of Newbury is easily walkable.

By bus
There are several town routes within Newbury and Thatcham, with hourly (or better) services during the day, and infrequent service in the evenings and on Sundays. Beyond that distance, bus routes are much less frequent, with often only a handful of buses per day and no evening or Sunday service.
 * Traveline,, provide an impartial online travel planner and telephone query service for local bus services.

By car
Newbury's roads can be congested at peak periods, but in general are less congested than London or even Reading. A car is one (possibly along with cycling) of the only really practical ways of seeing a lot of the local countryside and villages.

By map
If you are planning to do any visiting or exploring beyond central Newbury, you will probably want to obtain a decent map of the area. You should ensure that any map you buy clearly shows the national grid reference lines, and explains how to use them, as grid references are frequently used to indicate out of town locations. The best maps for this purpose are those published by the Ordnance Survey (Britain's national mapping agency) and both the following maps cover all the locations mentioned below: These maps can be found in any good bookshop, or can be bought online from the Ordnance Survey's web site.

New Caledonia

New Caledonia (French: Nouvelle-Calédonie) is a dependent overseas territory of France lying in the western Pacific Ocean, in the Coral Sea, to the east of Australia and west of Vanuatu. The territory consists of the main island of Grande Terre, the archipelago of the Loyalty Islands (Îles Loyauté), and numerous small, sparsely populated islands and atolls.

New Caledonia offers beaches, mountaintop fondue in chalets, camping, amazing snorkelling and diving, and fabulous French food.

Cities

 * — the capital, and the only city of any size.
 * — a farming town.
 * – the collectivity's second largest settlement right next to Nouméa
 * – lovely quiet town in northeastern Grand Terre
 * – one of the Loyalty Islands, rich in Kanak culture
 * – lovely quiet town in northeastern Grand Terre
 * – one of the Loyalty Islands, rich in Kanak culture

Understand
New Caledonia is a collectivité d'outre-mer of France with a special status which allows it to have its own laws and its own government in anticipation of becoming completely independent. New Caledonia sets its own rules for everything except for national defence and foreign policy, which are set by the French government.

The people of New Caledonia are split into 5 major groups:
 * The Kanaks, Melanesian inhabitants of New Caledonia. They were here long before the Europeans and many of them still live outside of Nouméa in tribes. The traditional authority of the tribal chiefs is legal and recognised by French law.
 * The Caldoches, descendants of European and North African prisoners and settlers, including some families that have lived in New Caledonia for more than 100 years.
 * People from metropolitan France and other French overseas territories, locally called "zoreils". They are mostly newcomers and are here only to work in Nouméa for a few years.
 * Asians, descendants of those who came to work in the nickel mines of New Caledonia about a century ago. Most are Vietnamese, Chinese, or Indonesian.
 * Polynesians, people from French Polynesia and Wallis and Futuna, who are mostly living in Nouméa for work. As French citizens, they can move freely between New Caledonia and the other two French territories, although this has slowed down due to the pandemic.

Since the events of Ouvéa cave hostage-taking in 1988, there has been a political movement towards more autonomy in New Caledonia; New Caledonia is listed on the UN list of non-self-governing territories. Referendums in 2018, 2020 and 2021 found a majority opposed to independence.

History
Settled by both Britain and France during the first half of the 19th century, the island became a French possession in 1853. It served as a penal colony for four decades after 1864.

The islands have been an overseas territory of France since 1956. Simmering tensions betwee the native Kanaks and French settlers over the questions of independence and property rights burst into sporadic violence between 1976 and 1988, known euphemistically as "The Events" (Les Événements). The grim climax was the Ouvea hostage crisis of 1988, when armed Kanak independence activists took a group of local gendarmes hostage, leading to a violent firefight that saw a total of 25 people killed.

The subsequent 1988 Matignon Accords grant substantial autonomy to the islands formally under French law and brought a measure of peace and stability to the islands. Referenda on independence were held in 2018 and 2020, with the majority of voters opposing independence; a final confirmatory referendum took place in December 2021, and they chose to remain a part of France, although this was boycotted by much of the opposition. However, proposed changes to allow more French residents to vote in local elections again led to violent riots in 2024, with 9 people killed.

Holidays
In New Caledonia, as elsewhere in France, the national holiday (la Fête nationale) is 14 July, known as Bastille Day by English-speakers.

Climate
New Caledonia has a semi-tropical climate, modified by southeast trade winds. It is often hot and humid in January and February. The islands are subject to tropical cyclones, most frequent from November to March. During winter (April to August) the daytime temperature is around 22°C. The water may still be warm, but it often feels too cool to really want to go swimming.

Geography
The main island of New Caledonia is one of the largest in the Pacific Ocean and its terrain consists of coastal plains with interior mountains. The highest point is Mont Panié (1,628 m).

Grand Terre is rich in minerals, and is an important source of many ores, mainly nickel and chromium. There is a mountainous interior green with subtropical foliage. The outlying islands are coral-based, have stunning white sand and sport palm trees.

Tourist information

 * New Caledonia Travel website

Talk
The official language is French though most locals speak New Caledonian patois, and it is difficult to find English speakers outside of Nouméa except where a few pockets of English speakers are left amongst the elderly in the north-east. Some of the indigenous Melanesians is speak various Austronesian languages, but these are in general endangered. In Nouméa, French, English, and Japanese are widely spoken at hotels, restaurants, and shops. To enjoy a place like this, you should really endeavour to learn some French or the local languages.

Get in
A number of items are restricted by customs and biosecurity regulations. Consult the official flyer (in French) for more information.

New Caledonia is not part of the Schengen Area or the European Union and controls its own immigration. This means that travelling between Metropolitan France and New Caledonia will involve border inspections. Everybody except citizens of France needs a passport to visit New Caledonia. French citizens may enter New Caledonia and stay indefinitely with only a valid ID card with no restrictions including on employment, though in practice a passport is usually required because flying to New Caledonia from Metropolitan France requires a connection in either Japan or Singapore.

Non-French European Union citizens may enter and stay in New Caledonia indefinitely without a visa, provided their passport is valid for at least 3 months beyond their planned departure date, but may not work in New Caledonia unless they have a work permit. Citizens of non-European Union countries who do not need a visa to visit France may visit New Caledonia without a visa for up to 3 months provided their passport is valid for at least 3 months beyond their planned departure date, and they have a return ticket, proof of funds to cover their stay, travel insurance with a minimum coverage of €30,000 and proof of purpose of stay (e.g. confirmation of hotel bookings if you are a tourist).

If you need a visa to visit France, Schengen visas for Metropolitan France are not valid for travel to New Caledonia. You will need to obtain a separate visa for New Caledonia from a French diplomatic mission.

 * Noumea-La Tontouta Airport, in Païta, 52 km northwest of the capital city of Nouméa +687 35 11 18.  Aircalin, the flag carrier of New Caledonia, has its main hub here. Aircalin operates flights from Tokyo and Singapore, which are timed to connect with Air France's flights from Paris, with a codesharing agreement between both airlines. Air New Zealand and Qantas also serve the airport. There are also flights from various Pacific nations, New Zealand and Australia. However, there aren't many flights overall, so beware of availability.

By boat
Nouméa is a popular port of call for people sailing around the Pacific, though most dare not sail during cyclone season.

Get around
Forget about Google Maps, it is grossly incomplete in New Caledonia and often wrong. OpenStreetMap is a much better option.

By plane
Domestic flights link Nouméa to the outlying islands and to the northern half of the main island. All domestic flights in New Caledonia are operated by Air Calédonie.

 * Nouméa-Magenta Airport, 4 km from the city centre, +687 25 14 00. Serves all domestic flights within New Caledonia, such as the Loyalty Islands (Maré, Tiga, Lifou, Ouvéa), from the Isle of Pines in the south to the Belep Islands at the northern tip of the mainland as well as Koné and Koumac on the west coast and Touho on the east coast.

By bus or taxi
There are two main bus services in New Caledonia:

 * CarSud is the regional bus service in Province Sud. Ligne C will take you from La Tontouta airport to Nouméa city centre for 400 F (as of June 2014).
 * Karuiabus is the city bus service in Nouméa. Ligne 10/11 will take you from the city centre to Baie des citrons and Anse Vata for 210 F (as of June 2014).

Taxis do not cruise the streets to pick up passengers as in other cities; they have to be ordered by phone (28 35 12). This makes the bus a good alternative as the total journey time is not much longer than by taxi.

If you are staying in a hotel or other accommodation you can just ask them to call you a taxi. The same applies if you are shopping in Nouméa – if you have just purchased something, even groceries in a small store, they will be happy to call you a taxi.

By car
Renting your own car is a reasonable option for a larger group and is the only sensible option if you plan on exploring anywhere off the beaten track. The usual suspects have offices at La Tontouta Airport, as does local chain Point Rouge. Most cars are manual, so book ahead if you want an automatic.

New Caledonia follows French traffic laws, so driving is on the right. Around Nouméa, roads are generally good quality if narrow, and there is a free expressway covering most of the way from La Tontouta Airport to Mont-Doré south of Nouméa. However, in the countryside (brousse), potholed or unpaved tracks on twisty mountainsides filled with speeding ore trucks are all too common, and driving at night is to be avoided at all costs. Around celebrations there are many drunk drivers on the roads, so take care.

Hitching
Hitching is much easier than in metropolitan France but, like in most places, with the same inherent risks.

 * Tjibaou Cultural Centre, a gift from the French Government. The architect was Renzo Piano, an Italian architect.
 * Botanical garden
 * Wandering along the waterfront in Nouméa - Baie des Citrons and Anse Vata.
 * The New Caledonia Barrier Reef — listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, it encircles both the Grande Terre and Île des Pins and also known as the New Caledonia Lagoon.

Snorkelling, diving, windsurfing

 * Îlot Canard just outside the Anse Vata is a good place for beginners
 * Aguille de Prony is an amazing underwater structure in the Baie de Prony south of Nouméa

Relaxing, tanning, and generally doing nothing

 * Baie des Citrons and the Anse Vata are common beaches on the Nouméa peninsula
 * Îlot Maître has a resort. This can be reached by taxi boat from the Anse Vata, and by boat from the Baie de Mouselle
 * Numerous other tourist resorts can be found throughout the Grande Terre and Île des Pins

Hiking and camping

 * Parc de la Rivière Bleue in the Yaté region south of Nouméa. Get there early because the best walks take a while to reach and you must be out of the park by 5pm. Plan on taking the shuttle (need to be booked ahead of time at the ticket office) if you want to skip a boring 2km walk on the road both ways.
 * The Monts Koghis offer two nice walks just outside of Nouméa. Park at the auberge des Monts Koghis, sign a release and leave your mobile number in case of emergency.
 * Prony offers a nice 1.5h walk through the historical village. Park at the Baie de la Somme since the road is better and there's a lot more parking space, then follow the signs and get on the walk to Prony.
 * Joining a hiking group is generally a good idea, since you then can really enjoy the great scenery without fear of getting lost, or having to stick with conventional tourist spots

Money
The CFP franc (called just franc locally, symbol F, ISO currency code XPF) is the currency used in New Caledonia, French Polynesia and Wallis and Futuna. The initials CFP stand for Collectivités françaises du Pacifique ("French Communities of the Pacific"). It is pegged to the euro at a fixed rate of 119.33 francs. CFP coins are in denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 francs, and banknotes are in denominations of 500, 1,000, 5,000 and 10,000 francs. Coins and banknotes are identical across all three French Pacific territories. Before January 2023, New Caledonia and French Polynesia had their own distinct designs on the coin reverse sides, but these were withdrawn, and the 1 and 2 franc coins were discontinued.

Shopping
The cartoon series La Brousse en folie and Le sentier des hommes by Bernard Berger will give you an insight in the local culture and tradition. The comics are written in French, the former imitating the local accent and grammar (or lack thereof).

Other than that, plenty of conventional souvenir shops may be found throughout Nouméa.

Costs
New Caledonia is very expensive, since much of the food needs to be imported. There is no culture of bargaining either and attempting such might cause offence.

Eat

Food is one of the highlights of New Caledonia: being a part of France, French cuisine is available everywhere and is generally of a very high standard. However, eating out costs a pretty penny: a full dinner for two in a touristy place with beach views or a hotel restaurant can easily set you back 10,000 F.

To cut costs, look out for snacks (budget restaurants), which serve a limited but cheap menu of hot sandwiches like croque madame (ham, cheese and egg toast) and heartier Asian-influenced favourites like porc au sucre (pork in a sweet soy-based sauce) with rice or in a half baguette, usually for less than 1,000 F. Local bakeries (boulangeries) and crêperies are also a good option for cheap eats on the go.

The cheapest way to go is self-catering. The contents of most supermarkets are largely imported from France, which means there's an amazing selection of cheese and meats, but at a price. A cheaper option is visiting the local market (marché), which will have local produce and fresh seafood like tuna, shrimp and crab, but opening hours are limited (weekend mornings are often your best bet).

Dishes

 * Bougna, a traditional meal among the native Melanesians, which consists of some form of meat, pork, chicken, fruit bat, crab, etc, along with roots such as yams and sweet potatoes. This is wrapped in banana leaves and cooked under hot rocks heated in a fire.
 * Coconut crabs
 * All fruits taste very good

Drink
Try kava. You can recognise a kava bar by a red light outside and dim lighting inside. It is about 100 F compared to 500 F for a beer, so about a fifth of the price. You drink the kava immediately once you've purchased it and then go off to a dark bench to relax.

Sleep
There are many places around New Caledonia that are affordable and in good condition. All you have to do is search around and you will find somewhere to sleep within your price range.

Work
Unless you are a French citizen, you will need a work permit to work in New Caledonia. Although non-French EU citizens are permitted to stay in New Caledonia indefinitely as tourists, they are still required to obtain work permits if they want to work.

Volunteering
Volontariat Civil à l'Aide Technique VCAT. Conditions: you must be French or from another EU member state or a country belonging to the European Economic Area. You must be between 18 and 28 years old (inclusive). You must not have had your civic rights revoked by a court or have been convicted of certain offences.

Respect
Similar to other Pacific island nations, New Caledonia is largely a conservative Christian society, with Roman Catholicism being the largest denomination in New Caledonia. The vast majority of shops and businesses will be closed on Sundays, when virtually everyone will be at church. Unfortunately, with the exception of Nouméa and the tourist areas, same-sex marriage is not widely accepted. Dress codes also tend to be conservative.

Just as in Metropolitan France, when approaching people, be sure to always begin the conversation with a "bonjour" (in the day) or "bonsoir" (at night). It is fairly common for the local Melanesian people to greet others in the street, and you should always return the greeting; not doing so will come across as very rude. Be sure to keep a respectful distance (roughly the distance of a handshake) when interacting with people; getting too close will make people feel uncomfortable. Outside of the tourist beaches, you should always dress conservatively and avoid revealing clothing, or you will be seen as very disrespectful otherwise.

Be sure to follow the tradition of la coutume when visiting tribal lands. This means that you should always introduce yourself to the chief first, and bring a small gift with you as a sign of respect. Likewise, if you are invited to visit a tribal home, be sure to bring a small gift for the host family.

The independence movement is a sensitive issue, and New Caledonian society is deeply divided on this, largely along ethnic lines; while the majority of the indigenous Kanaks desire independence from France, this is largely opposed by most non-indigenous New Caledonians. As a visitor, you are highly advised to avoid this topic.

Stay safe
New Caledonia is fairly safe, but it is wise to take the following precautions:
 * When snorkelling, avoid contact with sea urchins, which are often poisonous, and coral structures, which can cause scrapes that swell badly and take a long time to heal.
 * Sea kraits (tricot rayé) are commonly seen in shallow lagoons and have a potentially lethal venom. However, bites are rare since they are not aggressive when left alone and only attack when threatened.
 * There are sharks, some of them quite large, though Great White Sharks are rare. Avoid shark attacks by:
 * Not carrying fish that you have caught (and may be bleeding) while in the water
 * Facing the shark, so that to the shark you appear large, vertical and difficult to bite
 * There are no crocodiles native to New Caledonia. Rogue individuals have been observed on the island no more than twice within the past 200 years, probably swept out from the Solomon Islands.

Political unrest
Simmering tension between the indigenous Kanaks and settlers of French origin over the question of independence burst into occasional violence between 1976 and 1988 and again in 2024, leading to 9 deaths. While tourists were neither targeted nor harmed, much of the islands including the airports were shut down, stranding many travellers for days.

Stay healthy
Iodine or a similar disinfectant is invaluable to fight off small infections, which quite commonly occur in most sores and scratches.

Some mosquitoes carry the dengue fever virus. There is no vaccination for this, so it is important to prevent mosquito bites to the extent possible. Consult a doctor for more information, and see the Wikivoyage article.

Connect
There is exactly one mobile operator in New Caledonia, OPT, which is also the only fixed line phone operator, only Internet service provider and only one postal service.

OPT has exactly one prepaid plan, Liberté. As of July 2017, the SIM costs 6,195 F, which includes 3,000 F of credit. All local calls 44.10 F/min, while SMS are 12/42 F to local/international numbers.

With this plan, you can also purchase Internet data for 90 F for one hour/100 MB, social networks free, or 400 F for 24 hours/200 MB. All this works out to US$60 for 3.3 GB, or around US$20/GB. Gulp!

Newcastle (Northern Ireland)

Newcastle is a seaside resort in County Down in Northern Ireland. The "new castle" was probably already tumbledown when first documented in 1433 and even its successors are long gone. Newcastle is best known nowadays as the home of Royal County Down Golf Club, and for its beach and wildlife reserve. It had a population of 8,300 in 2021 and has lots of visitor amenities, so it's a good base for exploring the Mourne Mountains, which rise to the south.

Get in
See Belfast for long-distance routes by air or sea.

By bus
Ulsterbus 520 runs from Belfast Europa station via Carryduff, Ballynahinch, Dundrum and Castlewellan to Newcastle, taking 1 hr 20 min. They run M-F every 30-60 min, and Sa Su every couple of hours.

Goldline Express 240 runs from Newry to Castlewellan, Newcastle, Dundrum and Downpatrick, with five M-F and three Saturday and Sunday. Buses and trains from Dublin stop at Newry on their way to Belfast, but unless you're lucky with the connection to Bus 240, you usually have to continue into Belfast then backtrack on Bus 520.

Bus 26 trundles cross-country from Lisburn via Hillsborough, Ballynahinch and Dundrum to Newcastle, taking 1 hr 15 min. There are only three buses M-F and none at weekends.

Bus 37 runs every couple of hours between Newcastle and Kilkeel. An hourly bus runs from Newry to Warrenpoint, Rostrevor and Kilkeel (1 hour) so it's possible to circle the mountains, but the Mourne Rambler Bus no longer runs.

Newcastle is at the north end of Main street.

By road
From Belfast head south on A24 through Carryduff, Ballynahinch and Clough, where the road is re-badged as A2.

From Dublin take M1 to Newry then B8 (signs for Hilltown). Follow A25 to Castlewellan then A50 into Newcastle.

The town gets congested on fine summer weekends. There are car parks behind the main street.

Get around
The town straggles but is walkable. You need wheels to reach the surrounding attractions.

National Cycleway 99 runs from Bangor down the Ards Peninsula to Portaferry, Strangford, Downpatrick and Newcastle. It's all on-road. From Belfast follow the traffic-free Comber cycleway, then hug the west bank of Strangford Lough to Downpatrick then by road to Newcastle.

 * Newcastle Beach stretches 3 miles north from town to Murlough Nature Reserve and the Dundrum River estuary. Usually clean, dogs permitted. There's lots of sand when the tide is down but at high tide only the pebbles remain. In 1910 one of Ireland's first powered aircraft wobbled low over the length of the beach.
 * Slidderyford Dolmen is a neolithic portal tomb along the main road quarter of a mile north of the Murlough car park.
 * is the substantial ruin of a Norman castle, dismantled under Cromwell. It's free to explore any time.
 * , 5 miles north of Newcastle, is an extensive arboretum and forest park around a small lake. The castle itself, a Scottish Baronial pile, is nowadays a Christian conference centre and can't be visited.
 * is an impressive 5000-year-old tripod dolmen or cromlech. It's on a hillside with good views but takes some finding, 3 miles north of Castlewellan. Follow Slievenaboley Rd then Legananny Hall Rd.
 * Finnis Souterrain a mile north of the dolmen is a 100-foot underground passage from the 9th century. It doesn't appear to have been used for burials or religious rituals so maybe it was just a hideout. The entrance was created in the 19th century as the original entrance has been lost.
 * Ardglass: see Downpatrick for this fishing village ringed by medieval turrets.
 * is a fishing village 8 miles south. The Cornmill was built in the 19th century and is now a museum. There's pubs and restaurants here. A lane leads inland to the start of Silent Valley.

 * Mountain biking: You may cycle in the forest park of Castlewellan (but not in Tollymore) and in the Mourne Mountains.
 * on Castlewellan Rd have escorted rides and pony treks.
 * Mourne Mountains: the highest of these rise a few miles south of Newcastle. Good for hikes and for rock-climbing, but in April 2021 the Mournes suffered a wildfire centred on Slieve Donard — that area will be an unpleasant charred mess until new growth takes over.
