Travel: Departures: Playing away

RAINBOW Holidays of York (0904 643355) offers a neat solution for those wanting to avoid the World Cup: a trip to Malaysia, tailored to fit the dates of the soccer competition between 17 June and 17 July. The company points out that matches screened live in America will be shown in the middle of the night in Malaysia, so that football-haters should be able to sleep through the excitement. The month-long tour costs pounds 1,850.
