Top 5 Dog Sledding Places for a New and Exciting Vacation Idea

Top 5 Dog Sledding Places for a New and Exciting Vacation Idea

It is widely recognized that dog sledding was invented by the Inuit people in what is now Canada thousands of years ago. Early on, a single dog likely pulled a single small load of goods like firewood. Later, dog sledding became more advanced by using teams of dogs to pull larger loads and eventually humans through the Arctic regions of the world. Lake Louise in Banff National Park, Canada Alberta, specifically the Canmore area, offers the opportunity to glide through snow-covered trails in t

8 Things You Need to Prepare Before Seeing the Aurora

8 Things You Need to Prepare Before Seeing the Aurora

The Northern Lights, also known as the aurora borealis, is a natural phenomenon – an incredible light show in the sky that can paint the entire sky with colors of green, purple, and red. It's not something we can see often in many parts of the world, but those lucky enough to see it will remember it for many years to come. Are you planning a trip to see the Northern Lights? Or maybe you're wondering if you should take a chance and visit Iceland? Either way, here are the 8 things you need to prepare before seeing the aurora. What to Wear In case you are not aware yet, aurora can only be seen in the part of the world where it's dominantly cold. Even so, you don't need to dress like the Michelin Man. You can wear three layers and still feel comfortable. If you want to be able to change conveniently between low-temperature and room-temperature environments, consider the onion-style method. Using this method, you only need to wear mainly two types of clothing, the inner and the outer. For the outer, you would want to wear a two-layered jacket, one layer being a waterproof windbreaker while the other layer is made of warm wool. This is to prevent outside wind from entering your body and causing you to catch a cold. Most people may sometimes opt for a neck scarf as well. As for the inside, either a thermal undershirt or even a T-shirt should be enough. Gloves can make your life easier In addition to the above attires, if you want to stay longer in the cold, having gloves is a must. Ski gloves are the more popular choice, but the problem is that the material is sometimes unnecessarily heavy and you may need to take them off every time you need to use your smartphone. That's why you should spend more time looking for the right one. Consider buying a more comfortable and lighter style that enables using your camera or smartphone, so you never miss a moment. Snow chain is unnecessary As long as you are driving on a public road with asphalt, avoiding mountain roads and seasons when it snows heavily, gearing your car with the snow chain is not necessary. Additionally, there are snowplow trucks clearing the snow and spreading salt to maintain the road every day. Right now, Canada and the United States do not allow using snow chains. Snowy road: driving and parking 101 Do not powerfully stomp either your brake or your gas pedal, to prevent your vehicle from skidding. If you ever find yourself skidding a little, slightly moving your steering wheel should be enough to bring you back to balance. This is why it's important to not speed and leave some distance to stop your vehicle safely. If you are driving during November and December when the temperature is usually the lowest, make sure you park your vehicle near engine heaters and connect it to your car to prevent your car engine from freezing. Photography equipment Nowadays, with the improvement of the performance of equipment, you can take pictures of the northern light with some manual-operated micro monoculars or even high-end small cameras, as long as they have good noise control and pure high-sensitivity ISO performance, combined with a tripod and a large aperture to extend the exposure time, most of them can record the graceful dance of the aurora. But keep in mind that aurora is a large-scale natural phenomenon, so it is recommended to use a wide-angle or fisheye lens for shooting. How to take beautiful pictures Taking pictures of the aurora may be a little bit more complicated if you want to capture its elegant movement. When shooting the aurora, most people will use a high sensitivity above ISO 1600 with a large aperture. Generally speaking, the aperture of F4 is sufficient, but don’t forget to adjust the focus to manual, and then turn the focus position to infinity. When you are ready, you can carefully observe the dancing movement of the aurora, and then press the shutter for the long exposure time, usually about 5 to 15 seconds. If the brightness is high and the movement is fast, you may need to close the shutter early. Therefore, when shooting, you should keep your eyes on the situation of the aurora. Sometimes you can close the shutter for a big turning picture, because if the aurora changes too fast, although it's very beautiful to our own eyes, it may be too blurry in the image presentation, and the beauty would not be captured perfectly. Dealing with different brightness Generally speaking, the brightness of the aurora is divided into 10 levels. The camera needs more than 30 seconds to clearly identify brightness level 1 and 2, otherwise it will look like a white smoke, lightly floating in the air. Level 3 and 4 will slowly begin to turn from white to green, appearing in front of our eyes as light green light, which is commonly known as green light. Brightness level 5 and higher will be very dazzling, and the change in color is crystal clear visible, with the light lavender color sometimes emerging in the night sky. If you are extremely extremely lucky, you may have the opportunity to see the aurora with level 8-10 brightness, illuminating the earth. During this moment, quick, take out your iPhone and snap. Keep yourself informed of the weather If you are using iOS, here are the two app you can consider downloading. 1. Aurora - By Roger Moffatt http://goo.gl/cC3Rl4 2. Aurora Forecast - by TINAC Inc http://goo.gl/Mc053j Through those free apps, you can observe the geomagnetic response and radius trend of the aurora, so as to know its predictability. There are 5 levels in total. Although the predictability of the aurora is based on sunspots and geomagnetic reaction, if the weather is not supportive and thick clouds covered the sky, the northern light would not be visible, no matter how exaggerated and beautiful it bursts all over the earth. That's why it's important to look for the aerial condition on satellite cloud images, analyze the route, and plan properly. You can also utilize the aurora forecast website provided by the University of Alaska below. Aurora Forecast | Geophysical InstituteForecasts of auroral activity, updated daily.Geophysical Institute In addition, you should also pay attention  to the position of the moon and the change in the lunar phase, as the brightness of the moon will also affect the brightness of the aurora. Many people always visit on days during the new moon where the aurora is less affected by the moonlight. However, it is actually beneficial sometimes to have moonlight. In this way, parts of the landscape can be clearly captured without exposing for too long, but of course the magnificence of the aurora depends on the brightness level of the performance at that time.

Don’t Miss Out on These Top 10 Winter Resorts That Are Perfect for Non-skiers

Don’t Miss Out on These Top 10 Winter Resorts That Are Perfect for Non-skiers

So, you're not a two-planker or a snowboard shredder. You'd rather not rip down triple black diamonds or gear up for a day in the park. And god forbid you have to ride up a chairlift. And you know what? That's OK. Winter wonderland vacations don’t always have to be about skiing. If you’d like to enjoy a wintertime adventure, make sure to check out these list! 1. Sun Valley, Idaho Sun Valley Resort has been voted the #1 ski resort in North America by SKI Magazine readers two years running. However, this resort offers so much more than the freshly groomed, uncrowded ski slopes for which it is so well known. From luxury accommodations and delectable cuisine offerings to abundant outdoor activities and a world-class spa, everyone in your group can enjoy a perfect vacation at Sun Valley. 2. Keystone, Colorado Keystone is one of the most popular ski resorts for families. Not only does it offer plenty of great skiing, but there is also practically an endless number of other things to do. The resort’s Lakeside Village is home to the largest outdoor ice skating rink in America and the largest Zamboni-maintained outdoor rink anywhere in the world. You can enjoy gliding across the ice while gazing at the soaring snowcapped mountains as well as taking part in a host of other winter activities like horse-drawn sleigh rides, tubing, and even snow biking. Yoga, group exercise classes, and outdoor tennis courts are available year-round, not to mention the numerous options for shopping as well as great spa services too. 3. Whistler Blackcomb - Whistler, British Columbia, Canada Whistler Blackcomb is often ranked among the best ski resorts in the world, but that doesn’t mean non-skiers will be left twiddling their thumbs either. The resort’s village has so much to do, it almost feels like a big city that’s been dropped right into the mountains. There are practically endless shopping opportunities as well as outstanding restaurants and plenty of fun activities too. 4. Taos Ski Valley, New Mexico From delicious New Mexican food to unique art and even a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Taos, New Mexico, has plenty to offer travelers. Taos is a haven for artists, and there are endless galleries and museums to delight any art lover. Stroll through the historic Taos Plaza and you’ll find shops filled with handmade art, pottery, jewelry, and more. After all of the shopping, you can refuel on authentic New Mexican fare featuring traditional green chiles and mole — and grab a drink and enjoy live music at Taos Mesa Brewery. 5. Stowe Mountain, Vermont Known for some of the country’s most beautiful fall foliage and as the “Alpine Ski Capital of the East,” Stowe Mountain Resort attracts the majority of its visitors during fall and winter. The resort and surrounding areas offer plenty of excitement and activities for skiers and non-skiers alike. One of the most popular outdoor activities in Stowe besides skiing is fatbiking. The wide tires on this bike enable you to easily glide through the snowy, groomed trails. Many area shops offer fatbike rentals and can direct you to one of the many free-to-explore trails. 6. St. Moritz, Switzerland Skiers know St. Moritz as one of the best ski destinations in Switzerland and as a two-time host of the Winter Olympics, but the possibilities for non-skiers are pretty amazing too. The active can take advantage of all of the usual off-piste options like snowshoeing, and adrenaline seekers won’t want to miss the heart-pounding ride on the Olympic bob run that comes complete with a professional pilot and brakeman – it reaches speeds of 80 miles per hour. 7. Avoriaz, France Ideal for families who want to split their time between the slopes and non-skiing activities, Avoriaz was previously awarded the “Best Family Resort” at the World Ski Awards. This car-free resort, the only one of its kind in France, offers a relaxed, safe village with lots of restaurants, cafes, and shops that are all accessed by foot or horse-drawn sleigh. 8. Breuil-Cervinia, Italy If you want an ideal destination that’s great for families with non-skiing and skiing members, Cervinia is a great choice. Plus, it’s a lot more affordable than Zermatt, which sits just across the Swiss border. Ski passes, ski rentals, and even coffee are much less expensive here. It also offers kids’ playgrounds and snowparks as well as a natural ice rink that features a bar and sun terrace. 9. Cranmore Mountain, New Hampshire Nestled in the beautiful White Mountains of New Hampshire, Cranmore Resort is known for its family friendly atmosphere and easy to manage size with about 50 runs for all levels. However, the biggest draw may be North Conway, an idyllic New England town perfect in all seasons, but extra charming with a fresh layer of snow. It’s an amazing weekend getaway even if you have no plans to enjoy the slopes. 10. Mohonk Mountain House - New Paltz, New York Located in the Catskills Mountains, this resort offers a variety of non-skiing activities like ice skating, snow tubing, and snowshoeing. You’ll also have the chance to take part in movie nights, watch blacksmith demonstrations, swim in the indoor pool, or join in on daily group exercise sessions. During many winter weekends, a host of other entertainment options are often available too, including tastings, demonstrations, and music.

Here's a Quick Guide to the Updated Travel Restrictions in Northern America and Mexico

Here's a Quick Guide to the Updated Travel Restrictions in Northern America and Mexico

Before jetting off on holiday, it's important to know if there are any remaining Covid entry requirements or travel restrictions. For those travelling to top holiday destinations, such as United States and Mexico, there are still some existing entry requirements. Here are the latest advice what you'll need to know about Covid or other restrictions before you go. United States What are the restrictions? To be considered fully vaccinated, travelers must have received their second dose (or one dose for a single-dose vaccine) 14 days before arrival. As of September 12, boosters were not required to be considered fully vaccinated. What's the Covid situation? Since the pandemic began in 2020, there have been roughly 95.3 million total cases and more than 1.05 million deaths in the United States (as of September 12). As of August 25, more than 610.7 million doses of vaccine have been administered across the country. That translates to 184 doses per 100 people. What can visitors expect? The United States is open for places that tourists typically enjoy: national and state parks, museums, restaurants, entertainment venues, theme parks and such. Here's more detailed information on some popular tourist spots: • New York City: The Key to NYC requirements lifted on March 7. Proof of vaccination is no longer required for patrons of the city's indoor dining, fitness and entertainment venues. • Las Vegas: Nevada lifted its indoor mask mandate on February 10. • Hawaii: The Aloha State dropped its statewide mask mandate for indoor settings on March 25. Hawaii's Safe Travels program expired on the same day. • Puerto Rico: The US territory of Puerto Rico no longer requires that domestic travelers provide proof of vaccination or take a Covid-19 test before arrival, according to Discover Puerto Rico. Entry rules for international travel are the same as for the United States. • Disney parks: Both Disney Resorts (California and Florida) are open. Each park follows local regulations regarding Covid. Mexico What are the restrictions? There is no need to take a test before departure or undertake any form of quarantine. Those concerned they might have symptoms should ask for the Sanidad Internacional health organization. Some Mexican states or cities might have tighter restrictions than the country at large based on local conditions. Tourists may want to inquire with their hotels or resorts about any local directives before committing to plans. What's the Covid situation? Mexico had administered roughly 209.7 million doses of vaccine, or 165 doses per 100 people as of August 21. For comparison, the United States has administered about 185 doses per 100 people and Canada has given 234 doses per 100 people.As of September 20, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had Mexico at Level 3 (high) for Covid-19 risk. What can visitors expect? Many hotels and lodging groups offer on-site Covid-19 testing for travelers returning to places that require them. Check with your hotel about on-site testing before you travel. Visitors are likely to find situations differ depending on where in the country they travel, with local restrictions varying. See the Local Resources section of the US Embassy website for specific information. Mexico uses a four-color "traffic-light" system to assess the health safety of each state and set certain restrictions in movement if conditions warrant it. Red is the highest level of caution, and green allows all activities.

These European Sim Cards Will Save You Money When Travelling in Europe!

 1. Google Fi Simply Unlimited SIM kit Meet Google Fi, a different kind of phone plan with simpler pricing and no contracts or activation fees. Simply Unlimited is our most affordable plan for unlimited data, calls, and texts, with rates starting at $20/month per line for 4+ lines.

Orange Holiday Europe – 20GB Internet Data in 4G/LTE + 120 mn + 1000 Texts in 30 Countries in Europe No Import Fees Deposit & $10.59 Shipping to Taiwan Details Available at a lower price from other sellers that may not offer free Prime shipping.  Customer review: We got two of these for our Verizon iPhones (unlocked, Verizon unlocks smartphones 2 months after purchase): iPhone SE and iPhone 12 and it worked fine with one possible exception. As soon as we inserted the card and turn on the phone it connected and we got a text with our local (French) phone number. We had 4G almost all the time, occasionally 3G. While in France we were only in Paris and the immediate vicinity. We each used about 13 GB of data in the 9 days of our trip. We rarely made phone calls using our French number but I tested and it and it did work. - David.B  Price: 45.99  3. $29 Ultra Mobile Phone Plan | Unlimited Talk & Text + 6GB 5G • 4G LTE Data (3-in-1 GSM SIM Card) We’re dedicated to creating innovative, authentic, mobile communication experiences by delivering convenient and cost-effective wireless services to those in the United States.

PrePaid Europe (UK THREE) sim card 12GB data+3000 minutes+3000 texts for 30 days with FREE ROAMING / USE in 71 destinations including all European countries What do you get: 1. A trio size (nano/micro/std) SIM which will fit all phones, make sure your device is GSM unlocked either 3G or 4G compatible. 2. A Prepaid bundle of 12GB data, 3000 voice mins, 3000 texts for 30 days use  Customer review: I've ordered these cards many times in the past and they are always some of the most economical. But some things to keep in mind: 1. The data roaming only supports 3G in most countries outside of the UK. (within the UK you get 4G signal and texting/calls). 2. I highly recommend activating the card a day or two before your trip (the cards are valid for 30 days, and usually my vacations are 1-2 weeks max. so I can afford to activate it early). Why? It's never as simple as plug-and-play. - MHA Price: 20.74  5. Visible One Month Prepaid Service & SIM Card | Visible Unlimited Data Plan SIM kit can only be used with a compatible device.

To continue your Visible service at the end of your prepaid month, add a payment method to your account and make your first payment. And with NO annual contracts and NO hidden fees, and unlimited talk, text and data, why wouldn’t you?  Customer review: Let's just say at this price the service is great especially if you get the $45 plan for more priority data, However this is Verizon so always check if your phone is compatible before ordering. I do have a s22 ultra I originally purchased from T-Mobile paid and unlocked and the website said it was not compatible when it clearly was. So if you have a flagship device that's unlocked and is compatible with Verizon you won't have any issues - Robert Castillo  Price: 30.00  6. $20/Month Mint Mobile Phone Plan | 10GB of 5G • 4G LTE Data + Unlimited Talk & Text for 3 Months (3-in-1 SIM Card) Mint Mobile is the easy, online way to save a ton on wireless. We re-imagined the wireless shopping experience and cut out the retail stores, along with all the associated overhead costs. That allows us to pass on huge direct-to-you savings on unlimited talk, text, and data plans. Genius, right?  Customer review: The 10GB for $20, or $60 plan was a good place to start to test my usage rate. I was very satisfied with the service provided. When I activated the plan on my WiFi device I was given a phone number, though this is not a cell phone. I suppose it is Mint's way of giving the customer an identification number, they use it in emails that they send with offers. - J Rose  Price: 60.00  7. 【Movistar】 Europe Prepaid Sim Card 80GB Data for 28 Days with Free Roaming/Use in Denmark, France, Finland, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Sweden, UK and Other European Countries 【Movistar】Europe Prepaid Sim Card 80GB Data for 28 Days with Free Roaming/Use in Denmark, France, Finland, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Sweden, UK and Other European Countries  Customer review: According to the instructions, I have registered my activation date on the URL provided by the merchant 2 days in advance.

Being Bored is Boring! Here are the 20 items to bring on Your long trip

Being Bored is Boring! Here are the 20 items to bring on Your long trip

1. Speed Cube 3x3x3 Comes with a 3x3 Speed Cube and a Speed Cube tutorial -The tutorial will teach you how to solve the cube and all of the different things you can do with it -Great for beginners -Ages 7+ Customer Review:                                               Written by my 11 year old: The colors look really nice on the cube. It turns excellent and smooth! This stunning cube also comes with a very handy guide helpful for solving. It also has a stand for the cube. It is really awesome. I totally recommend this cube. -HS mom Price: 7.19 2. Motorized Motion 3D Gravity Maze Game Perplexus can now be played on the go with the new Perplexus Revolution Runner! Get moving with this new 3-D rotating maze game. Challenge your hand-eye coordination with the tilting and rotating this new game. Customer Review:                                       Great product! Reasonably priced! Quality construction. Numerical progression of the maze provides a means to measure the player’s skill advancement. Kids feel a tremendous sense of accomplishment when reaching higher and higher numbers. Plus comparing numbers with each attack of the maze promotes friendly competition among players. Parents (and grandparents) will be thrilled seeing their children (and grandchildren) being totally enthralled with a non-electronic game! -KD Murray, M.D. Price: 19.99 3.  Interchangeable Mod Stickers Rubik’s Cube The original 3x3 Rubik’s Cube for adults and kids ages 8 and up - Removable and interchangeable mod stickers for customizing - Features 6 different face designs - Includes full instructions for solving on the inside of the box - The Rubik’s Cube is the world Customer Review:                                                                       I had a cubing friend recommend this for my husband. I had it in hiding waiting for the perfect moment. "I can solve any Rubik's cube in this house," my husband confidently stated. Challenge accepted! For reference, he had moved up to the 10x10 cubes. He has been unable to solve this and I am loving every minute of not hearing the endless clicking noise. -Kindle Customer Price: 11.99 4. Magnetic Motion Rubik’s Cube 3x3 Rubik’s Speed Cube - Magnetic motion - Super fast - Challenging - Record-breaking solving times The Rubik’s Speed Cube turns at an accelerated racing pace under complete control. Customer Review:                                                                       One of my kids found an old Rubik's Cube and, after learning a bunch of solving algorithms, was able to solve the cube in about 2 minutes. Not only does the original cube squeak as you twist the it, if you don't have the sides lined up perfectly, the cube can get a little stuck and slow your speed. Enter the Magnetic Speed Cube... Because of the magnets, the sides snap into place. With the original cube it's easy to overshoot the corners. The cube movements are much smoother and it doesn't squeak like the original cube. It still makes noise, it's just more of a soft "whoosh". With the magnetic Rubik's Cube my kid was able to cut the solve time in half! -Ellie B. Price: 14.99 5. Electronic Bluetooth Cube A Connected Electronic Bluetooth Cube - Bluetooth connected to app - Award-Winning app Enabled STEM Puzzle for All Ages - Free app - Play classic games like Simon or CubeHero - Join our global community of cubers and battle with friends and players from all over the world!! Customer Review:                                                               I bought the GoCube as a gift for my son, and I must say - this is BY FAR the BEST GIFT I bought for him lately. This smart cube connects to his phone, and he now learned how to solve the Rubik's cube (walking like a champ in the house and showing off to everybody). This little game is a perfect combination of a digital and a physical game (like I used to have when I was a child), which for me, is priceless! And the best thing is that it adds so much value to screen time, it is a really smart game, which makes you want to improve and get better (especially with the global leaderboard they have, he's trying to climb up on the board). Thank you GoCube for creating such an amazing game. I can't wait for him to put it down so I can try it myself ;) -Asaf Price: 79.95 6. Stickerless 3x3 Speed Cube A great gift for your loved ones - 3x3 Cyclone Boys Stickerless Speed Cube, to increase the intelligence of the kids, to release the working pressure of the adults, to help prevent a decline in memory of the elderly. - Suitable for beginner and professional player. Customer Review:                                 Of my 6 3x3's, this is by far my favorite. I know it's a clone, but CB clones so well. The colors are really nice. The mechanism works wellish. It does loosen up after about 30 solves so you have to go tighten the springs up every once and awhile, but that's not that big of a deal. The cube is a lot cheaper than competitor cubes like the zhanchi. I personally love this as an every day solve. If you want to compete, I'd suggest springing the extra couple of bucks to buy a cube with springs that don't give out so easily. -Tyler M Price: 7.63 7. CFMOUR Original Speed Cube CFMOUR 3x3x3 Speed Cube Carbon Fiber Solid Puzzle is a high-quality speed cube. Its stickers are on the outside of the cube, and it is a great puzzle toy for both kids and adults. Customer Review:                                                   The style is great, and the edges are designed to not catch which they don't. I've had it for a number of months with moderate to heavy use and still haven't noticed any sticking or grinding. The adjustable screws are cool but just be careful, use it for a bit first before adjusting. It's hard to reset the screws back. -choggan360 Price: 9.99 8. 3D Wooden Brain Teaser Puzzle T-Shape Pieces - Wooden - Comes with instruction - Free Shipping - Made in China - Sharp Brain Zone - Genius Skills Builder - Educational Toy for Kids and Adults Customer Review:           This is a nice puzzle for all levels of brain function. I got it to occupy my father with dementia as putting things in place is still his obsession. He struggled some with this, and unfortunately, he packaged it in its nice little box and has put it away somewhere where none of us can find it. Someday it will show up! But it is a great puzzle, if only we could find it. -Diane B Price: 24.99 9. Hexagon Tangram Puzzle - Tangram Puzzle - Wooden - Wooden tangram game - Educational game - Challenge game - Funny play - Provide Hours of Fun And Educational Play - Begin Developing Your Child's Spatial-Visualization Skills Customer Review:                                                                   I bought this as a present for my Father with macular degeneration. It was a challenge for him and he ended up better at it than his visitors who found it on the table. It gave him something to be successful at and to interact with guests. A fun time was had by all. -Seeker Librarian Price: 9.58 10. Metal and Wooden Puzzles 9 Puzzles in 1 Pack - Includes a metal puzzle and 8 wooden puzzles - Ages 8 and up - 100% Safe for Kids and Adults - Endless Play without getting hurt - Handheld Disentanglement Games - 3D Coil Cast Wire Chain - Durable Wood Customer Review:                                                   My dad has Alzheimer's. Every morning he wakes up and does not remember Covid 19 and social distancing with shut downs. It has been really hard on mom trying to keep him occupied. These brain teasers have been very helpful to her. He sits at the kitchen table and works on them for long periods of time, he curses them but he doesn't stop trying to figure the puzzles out. There is a big celebration when he does...and the next day he has to learn how to figure them out all over again. -Hope Price: 19.59 11. Coogam Metal Wire Puzzle Set Coogam Metal Wire Puzzle set of 16 is a great gift for kids and adults. It includes 16 different style metal wire puzzles and is made by high quality metal wire. Bright colors will make the game more fun to play. The IQ toy doesn't have sharp edges to keep you and your children safe. Customer Review:       This was the quietest Christmas morning on record because I put these in everyone's stockings. Everyone got so focused on these that they were reluctant to open other presents! Conversation was quiet because everyone was so focused, but we were still talking and working together on these. We were taking turns and asking for help. It was the most cooperative I've seen my family in years! Everyone from my 60 y/o dad to my teen-aged brothers were obsessed. Highly recommend. -Emily Price: 10.99 12. Grecian Glass Bottle Brainteaser Puzzle Challenge yourself with this brainteaser puzzle -Interlocking pieces form a large, 3D brain -Completed puzzle measures 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" x 9-1/2" -Recommended for ages 10 and up -Includes instructions Customer Review:                                         Took me about 25 to complete this puzzle but it took me about 45 minutes to get it back together I decided to send this to my brother as a Christmas gift with a check stuff inside in order to receive the check you have to solve the puzzle so he might be pissed off this Christmas  -Jay Price: 16.34 13. Slide Brain Games GiiKER Super Slide Brain Games, 500+ Levelled UP Challenges Brain Teaser Puzzles, Interactive Fidget Toys Handheld Games Console, Learning Education Travel STEM Toys, Birthday Gifts for All Ages - GiiKER Super Slide Brain Games, 500+ Levelled UP Challenges Brain Teaser Puzzles, Interactive Customer Review:                                                                 I am a huge Survivor fan and I love slide puzzles. I solve Rubix cubes for anxiety and wanted a new puzzle gadget for that same reason and this does the trick. I wish there was a case to carry it in that had a place for the extra pieces but I am sure I will find something that works for that. Thanks for such an awesome product! -Anonymous Price: 44.97 14. Brain Teaser Metal Puzzle Toys 10pcs metal puzzles - two shapes: ball and spoon - three colors: orange, blue, and green - 3D design, perfect for adults and teenagers A perfect gift for adults and teenagers. Customer Review:                                                                         It was a hit at the white elephant Christmas exchange -Natalie Walker Price: 16.99 15. Table Electronic Pinball An awesome electronic table pinball with a great design! -Play alone or challenge your friends! -Digital scoring: check the highest score on the LCD screen -Great sounds and light effects like in a real pin-ball game Customer Review:           It seem to be the right size for my 6 year old great grand son. It was a gift. -Mema Gregory Price: 34.99 16. LCD Writing Tablet 10"x7.5" LCD Writing Tablet for kids - Comes with 8 drawing pens - Includes a pen holder - Includes a stylus - Includes a carrying case - Includes a blank white board - Comes with a 1-year warranty Customer Review: My 3yr old daughter loves this drawing tablet! The box came nicely packaged and wrapped in foam. There is a on/off switch on the back, just in case you think it doesnt work check the switch on back first. It also has a lanyard hole, to place a leash on it so it doesnt fall out of seat or stroller. It comes with lithium coin battery and has a removable slot to replace the battery. Its larger than a previous smaller one we purchased, she prefers the big one now more, as it sits across her lap better. -longboarder Price: 11.95 17. Kids Doodle Book You get 3 magic books with 3 pre-printed pages and 3 blank pages. (3D sticker, water pen, and 3D sticker) -Magic book A: -The first pre-printed page shows a dinosaur.

We use it a lot when my daughter is in the carseat so she doesn’t get bored. Love it and would purchase again -Svetlana V Price: 13.99 18. Busy Cube Encourages children's sense of discovery, imagination and creativity - A real toolbox with screws, bolts, nuts and gears - Contains chalkboard, water tap and switch - Material: Durable natural wood - Dimensions: 9.2 x 9.2 x 9.2 inches Customer Review:                                                                         I was skeptical about this cube, but it has managed to repeatedly keep my one year old occupied for a great length of time, which as any parent knows, doesn’t happen easily. I love that it is big enough so that his hands can easily handle it. Also, the keys that can attached are chained on, which I appreciated for safety reasons. It has also been dropped a lot and it has held up with no damage. -Jamber Price: 13.59 19.  Maze Ball Maze Ball, WETONG Maze Ball 3D Interactive Maze Game: Maze Ball is a maze game which consists of a ball and a labyrinth maze.

Little Things Hotels Do That Make Them Amazing

Little Things Hotels Do That Make Them Amazing

Hotels as well as their staffs always try their best to offer all kinds of convenient services to make your feel at home. If you know the details of the services, it may help you when you are in trouble during your trip. Here, we will introduce some of the lesser-known but useful services offered by many hotels. 💡"Hotel" here refers to Western-style hotels such as city hotels, resort hotels, and business hotels Luggage services Luggage storage before check-in and after check-out. Most hotels will take care of your luggage even before the start of check-in time if it is on the day you arrive at the hotel, or after check-out if it is the day you leave the hotel. If you arrive at the hotel early in the morning and want to go sightseeing, but your luggage is not ready..., Photo by Tommaso Pecchioli / Unsplash we recommend that you stop by the hotel and leave your luggage. Depending on the hotel, you may be able to leave your luggage in your guest room when your room is ready. Receiving and Shipping Luggage Many hotels will accept the luggage that you have sent to the hotel in advance or will ship it from the hotel. However, not all hotels will accept your luggage, so you will need to confirm in advance (by e-mail or phone, etc.) whether or not they will be able to receive it. At this time, you will need to confirm the following: * The size of the luggage * The typee of bag * The number of itemse to be sent * The number of piecese of luggage to be sent * The expected arrival datee of the luggage When sending luggage, you may be instructed to write the date of your stay and your name in the remarks column of the slip, for example, "Staying on XXXX, addressed to XXX." Make sure that the address and remarks column is written in such a way that the hotel can easily receive your luggage. Some hotels will leave your luggage in your guest room prior to your arrival. On the other hand, if you would like to send your luggage from the hotel to your home or other destination, just let the hotel front desk know and they will do it for you. If the hotel has a partnership with a delivery company, you can send your luggage prepaid. In both cases, you are responsible for the cost of shipping. Convenient service Not many hotels offer this service, but here are some of the services that you may be lucky enough to have at your hotel. * Clothing service * Clothes cleaning Most hotels offer a laundry service for your clothes. If you are staying for a long period of time, if you want to reduce the number of clothes you carry, if you have soiled your clothes during your trip, you can have them cleaned. Some business hotels have coin-operated laundries, so you can use them according to the type of laundry you need to do. * Trouser presses are available for rent. Trouser presses are very useful when you are staying in a hotel in a suit on a business trip. Most hotels, including city hotels and business hotels, rent trouser presses free of charge. Photo by Waldemar Brandt / Unsplash Suits can become worn out after just one day of wearing them, so if you are going to wear them the next day, it is a good idea to use a trouser press to keep yourself presentable. Room Service * Morning call City hotels, for example, will respond to wake-up calls if you request them in advance to the front desk. Photo by Himanshu Ranpara / Unsplash This is convenient when you feel uneasy about using an alarm bell such as a digital clock alone.Some hotels will call your room if your room alarm clock or cell phone is left ringing. If you leave your phone ringing, it will cause noise and trouble for the guests in the surrounding rooms, so please stop it immediately and get up. * Wi-Fi service Most hotels these days offer free Wi-Fi. If a password is required, it will be indicated at the front desk or in your room. Photo by Brett Jordan / UnsplashCables are available for rent.Some hotels lend cables such as charging cables for smartphones and tablets, extension cords, etc. * Additional bedding and heaters are available for rent. If you feel chilly, you can request additional bedding or a heater. If your room does not have a humidifier or air purifier, some hotels will lend you one if you request one (the number of units is limited). Photo by Jilbert Ebrahimi / Unsplash * Pillow additions If the height of the pillow does not fit your room, you may request an extra pillow (limited quantities are available). * Fruit knife and scissors rental There are times when you may want to cut up the fruits or cakes that you bought on your trip. Photo by Nathalie Jolie / Unsplash If you need a knife to cut a product tag, please ask at the front desk. * Massage Many hotels offer massage services (for a fee). Photo by Emiliano Vittoriosi / Unsplash If you request it, a masseuse will come to your room and give you a massage. * Noise Prevention Although some hotels are making efforts to soundproof their rooms, there are times when you may hear a commotion or noise from neighboring guest rooms. Photo by Elyas Pasban / Unsplash If this happens, contact the front desk instead of trying to solve the problem yourself. * Thermometers are available for rent Many hotels allow you to borrow a thermometer if you become ill. Photo by Markus Spiske / Unsplash If you must go to the hospital, ask for a referral to a hospital near the hotel that can provide emergency services. Services for Business Some hotels offer services such as fax and print-out services. If you have any problems on a business trip, check with them. Transportation Services Transportation to/from the nearest airport or train station. Some hotels offer free shuttle service to and from the airport or terminal station. If you wish to use this service, check the official website of the hotel. Please note that some hotels may require reservations and some hotels may not have a sufficient number of round trips, so please check in advance. Umbrella rental It is possible that you may encounter rain on your trip, but you may not have an umbrella with you.... In most cases, umbrellas can be borrowed from the front desk during your stay at the hotel. The number of umbrellas available is limited. Guide to the Surrounding Area Hotels always have maps and pamphlets of the surrounding area. If you ask the staff about places you would like to visit, they will provide you with detailed information. Sometimes you can even get behind-the-scenes information about the area, such as the staff's favorite stores! Meals at hotels In hotels, however, you may not be able to receive meal service unless you choose a meal plan at the time of reservation. Amenities in guest rooms Amenities such as toothbrushes and soaps are often provided in guest rooms. But in some cases, out of consideration for the environment, they are available at the front desk or in the hallway for use only by those who need them. Other Rental Services In most cases, you will find a list of rental services in the desk drawer of your guest room. Check it out when you get to the hotel, you might be surprised what you can borrow! Some hotels do not offer the above services, so if you need them, check in advance. Here we have introduced some of the convenient services that can be provided by hotels. Hotels are bases for sightseeing and business and are also places where you spend a lot of time, so make effective use of their diverse services to make your trip more comfortable.

Get up and Dress up for Cruise!

To better enjoy your cruise trip, here are our selections for cruising in styles. 1. Low Cocktail Party Dress Swing Prom Featuring Lace bodice,long sleeves,a sweetheart lining and a high-low taffeta skirt. -Stylish and Elegant Retro lace ruffle dress featuring long sleeve, slim belted waist and Hi low above knee bottom. Customer Review: This dress was perfect! It does fit a bit snug in the arm and waist area but still has some stretch to it. The length is super cute. For reference, I am almost 5ft 9in, 148 lbs, and the size medium fit well. The length (see pic) came to my ankles when wearing heels. I received many compliments. Would purchase again. -Jillian Morales Price: 41.89 2. Kawaii Cute Ghosts Skater Dress Great for a day out in the spring and summer sun Features: -Padded cups -Off-shoulder -Fully-lined bodice -Adjustable straps -Adjustable waist -Long sleeved -Zipper at the back Customer Review: I carry weight through my hips and thighs with slightly above average chest size. I bought a 2X. The bodice was a bit snug but the rest fit beautifully. So if you are well-endowed on top, you may want to size up one or two. My husband loved it, and I received so many compliments from complete strangers about how cute my dress is. It came very short for me, but I was planning to pair it with spandex shorts anyway “for safety.” With a pair of bright white tennis shoes, I looked ready for any summer outing! -Amy Bell Price: 23.99 3. Party Evening Gown Great for a day out in the spring and summer sun Features: -Padded cups -Off-shoulder -Fully-lined bodice -Adjustable straps -Adjustable waist -Long sleeved -Zipper at the back -Covered placket Customer Review: This dress is beautiful and well made. I was worried it would look cheap, but in fact it looks like I spent three times the price. The material has a slight stretch to allow movement. The only thing that puts a tarnish on the shine is the length. I am 5'1 and there is probably a good 4 inches of hem that goes over my 2 inch heels. It is an easy fix and worth it. Just get the dress! -breanna Price: 67.99 4. Surplice Dress Dress up your next night out with this beautiful, soft, and luxurious Amazon Essentials Women's Surplice Dress. This fitted dress has a v-neckline and a flared hemline. The fabric is 95% Rayon and 5% Elastane. Machine wash in cold water. Customer Review: Awesome dress—roomy and comfy and flattering! Great fabric, too, that doesn’t seem too cheap, and is better quality than other dresses in this price range. I have this dress in two colors—the green and the burgundy. The colors are gorgeous!! I would only caution buyers that the “burgundy” is more purple than red—which is fine with me since purple is my favorite color—but that might not be for some folks. Regarding sizing—the small is perfect for me—I usually wear dresses in small or medium since I’m small-chested. I’m 5’5”, 163lb, 36B/C and the small is perfect, maybe even a little roomy in the chest area. Modest but flattering! Can’t wait for more springy colors!-Katerina Price: 27.30 5.

Available in many colors Customer Review: Absolutely in love with this dress! I bought this to wear for my graduation photos. I can’t wait to take my pictures and show off this dress. FYI there isn’t stretch to it but it does fit well and true to size. I love how flowy and flattering it is! It also looks super short on the model but in person it’s such a perfect length! I’m 5’6 and weigh 145lbs and bought a size small.-Alicia Price: 26.99 6.

Customer Review: I really am impressed with this dress. I was not afraid to wear it out in public. I've had a mastectomy with reconstruction so I am a bit self conscious of my breast. Wearing this I did not feel that it would slide down. I liked it so much I ordered a different color. Material is good quality. 5ft4in 130lbs 38D-Amazon Customer Price: 25.99 7. Neckline Printing Mini Dress This product is perfect for the upcoming summer days! The material is light and soft, and the dress is casual, sexy, and perfect for a variety of occasions. The dress is available in a variety of colors and floral prints. Customer Review: I am 5ft 115pds. Wearing a medium! Super comfortable and good quality. Fabric is breathable and the red color is definitely more of a Mauvy pink. Absolutely beautiful! Will be purchasing another in the long sleeve style. Don’t miss out, buy this dress!-Heidi W.

Short Sleeve Mini Floral Dress Naggoo Women's Summer Wrap V Neck Polka Dot Print Ruffle Short Sleeve Mini Floral Dress with Belt -cross wrap, v neck, polka dot print, a line, short sleeve, empire tie waist, above knee-length, cap sleeve, ruffle hemline -great for Customer Review: I bought this for vacation. It arrived on time. Its a little loose on the top because I’m a 36B. But overall it fit well everywhere else. The material is breathable in the humid DR weather. I highly recommended it-Carmen G. Price: 32.98 9. Off Shoulder Split Long A Line Dress This adorable floral print off-the-shoulder dress is perfect for summer, holidays or parties. A comfortable dress with high waistline, short sleeves and an off-the-shoulder collar. Featuring an adjustable strap with a V-neck. -Floral print -Short sleeve Customer Review: Didn’t take much pictures but I felt beautiful all night in this dress. I have big boobs and I thought I wouldn’t look flattering because I once worn a similar scrunchy top section and it didn’t look good. I like that it hugs my boobs and also is tight right under where I’m the skinniest. I’m also self conscious of my armpits, I have a breast tissue fat on one. It covered it up but also showed my pretty shoulders, which I hardly get to show because of my armpits. It was also loose in my tummy area and got to show some leg every now and then without it being too much. My favorite dress.

Customer Review: One thing I can honestly say is that I like the pattern better in the picture then I’ll do it close. But it looks the exact same as the picture. It still doesn’t take from it being a good dress. It is thin but it’s not see-through. The material is not cheap is nice soft and comfortable. I love how when I had to run it is on my body. I am a 38 triple D and I normally wear an extra large or a size 14. And I got an extra large and it fits perfectly it’s not tight at all and the boob area for me is comfortable. I would definitely recommend this dress and I think it would be perfect to wear on a summer day.-Amber-Ze'Na Price: 16.98 11.

I paired it with a wedge slide. Nice and cool and easy to iron. The white is thin so black undies is suggested. The bust is cut a little small (I'm a 38B) and it was just a lil snug in the chest so if you have bigger boobs I'd go up a size. Cute open back with tie.

These trunks are great for hitting the waves and beach. Features include an elasticized waistband with drawstring, easy access cargo pockets, and drawstrings at the ankle. From Kanu Surf. Customer Review: Took them to Galveston. They made me look hot. Either that or the sun beating down on me did that. Either way. I was hot. And these swim trunks stayed on even when a huge wave smacked me right in the eardrum and sent me cartwheeling out of my raft. There were tons of hermit crabs, and did any get in these trunks? Most certainly not. They are practically like beach armor. Neither sand nor crab shall vanquish these water breeches. Seriously, though, these are some nice swim trunks.-Mitch Price: 12.60 15. Men's Alliance Splice Sport Jammer It's time to get familiar with your new favorite suit. The TYR Men's Alliance Splice Jammer Swimsuit is a triple threat. Customer Review: My son is on a swim team. He has been wearing these everyday M-F for an hour a day for the last 4 months. And weekends. Every piece of these swimmers is still in tact. I would recommend to size up though. Yes they are compression shorts, but even then the compression seemed like he could’ve went a size up so that his little stomach isn’t super super pressed. It still worked and even then the elasticity is in great shape! I would most definitely purchase again!!! I’m amazed it’s gone this far being used every.single.day.-JupiterM. Price: 26.99 16.

Hawaiian Shirt Tropical Beach Shirts Hawaiian shirt for men - Quick Dry, Colorful, Durable and Silk Softness - Stretch and shrink to ensure the relaxed and comfortable wearing experience Customer Review: Even though this is made for Men, I bought one for me and one for my Hubby so that we could match on our vacation. He doesn't like loud colors or patterns so the style is perfect. The material is very soft and comfortable and it is great for sunny, hot, or humid weather. Very happy with my purchase.-BRIDGET L Price: 19.99 18. Floral Aloha Beach Shirt Summer print casual shirts, a great choice for daily casual wear - With floral Hawaiian prints, great to wear on some Hawaiian vacation - Short-sleeved button-down shirt, with different colors for your choice - Come with a back button-down closure and a regular collar Customer Review: Literally! The material breathes very well. There’s no tag telling you exactly what the fabric is, but i digress. I’m a bigger guy — 6’1, 270lbs — so i went with 3X, and it fits very well. I specifically tried it and then washed it, the shirt didn’t shrink at all, and the color didn’t fade. I got the orange color to go with my swim trunks, but i can see myself wearing it frequently during the warmer months! -Michael Price: 25.99 19. Funky Hawaiian Shirt This Funky Hawaiian Shirt Men Shortsleeve Frontpocket Hawaiian-Print Parrot Flowers is great for all occasions. This shirt feels good and is perfect for any occasion. This shirt has a button closure and a front pocket. The Material Consists of 100% Terivoile. Customer Review: The Color saturation, fabric and fit of shirt are all 100-percent on the mark. My husband and I dress alike on vacation, and these shirts are light-weight for those hot and humid destinations. My husband wears a Large, however, unfamiliar with this company I ordered 2X, which fits (it's just a tad big but no one would notice). For the ladies out there, I am 5'2"/158-lbs (10lbs of that being Pandemic Fat) I purchased the 3X at first and that was really big, so on the 2nd order I sized down to 2X which fits perfect for me because I like the oversized look. We will be ordering more shirts from this Company. I would highly recommend.-GetXcited Price: 19.98 20.Color Block Bikini Swimsuit The Actloe Women Color Block Bikini Swimsuit Two Pieces Swimwear Push up Bathing Suit is a must-have product for women who want to look sexy and stylish in the summer. It is made with a spaghetti strap, push up with rims, and criss cross back. Customer Review: This bikini fit perfect and is super comfy very flattering and husband even loved it! I am about 150 lbs, 5 ft 6 in, 34D and 45 years old and I bought a Large after reading reviews. Large fit perfect but I do have round bottom and thicker legs so if you don’t have a butt or legs the bottoms could run big, both top and bottoms fit me great! -River Price: 23.19 21.Two Piece Vintage Swimsuit Tempt Me Women Two Piece Vintage Swimsuit Retro Halter Ruched High Waist Bikini with Bottom Tempt Me Women Two Piece Vintage Swimsuit Retro Halter Ruched High Waist Bikini with Bottom Customer Review: I loved the coverage and how it fit. It was true to size, I ordered the XXL I’m 5’6 200lbs. The bra cups are well padded and very secure. My bra size is DD36. I didn’t see a lot of reviews with women my size so I decided to submit mine hoping it will help someone else out! I think it’s well worth the money! The color was true to the description, I ordered 2 suits, the hot pink and white.-Stacey Reneé Price: 16.99 22. CUPSHE V Neck Bathing Suits This two piece swimsuit is a must-have for the season. The high waist bottom is flattering and the adjustable straps are sexy. The bikini top is more than supportive and has a V neck for a daring touch. The halter tie is alluring and sexy. Customer Review: I’m in love with this bathing suit, is is just what I was looking for. I was a little hesitant because I have thick tighs and big butt (5’5”-190ish pounds) so it is hard for me to fit into a one piece. It also helps with my “mommy belly”. The fabric feels like a high quality one, I ordered an XL because of my hips but a L would have fit me too, it just hugs me in the right places without feeling tight or uncomfortable . Now I want all the colors 😅 I recommend it for curvy women one hundred percent-Malka Price: 29.99 You may also be interested in: You Dropped Your Phone In Water...Here’s What To DoIf you are passionate to capture your moment by the phone during the trip, here you should know how to handle when your phone dropped in the water in an unexpected situation!BucktripMELOWater Activities?

Customer Review: It was between the S6 Lite and Lenovo M10 and I ultimately went with the S6Lite because of the responsive native pen support for work/notes and the fact that Lenovo doesn't support HD Netflix.

Customer Review: I use it for drawing, note taking, and various internet tasks like video and browsing. Runs cool and smooth even in the case I have it in. Pen is great, I got this as a surface tablet replacement and there is no comparison. My wife has an iPad with apple pen and it is a similar performance (I went with this because I prefer android and have not regretted it) One warning I will issue is that the direction you connect the pen to the back does matter. One direction charges, the other does not. Also, the pen sticks up pretty far when charging. I got a case that mitigates this, but just using the bare device looks like it would get in the way.-Tom Price: 649.99 9.

22 Best Travel Laptops You Can Buy in 2022

Work Hard, Travel Hard! Here are some options of laptop and notebook for travelling. 1. ASUS 14" Thin Light Laptop for Student 2022 ASUS 14" Thin Light Business Student Laptop Computer, Intel Celeron N4020 Processor, 4GB DDR4 RAM, 64 GB Storage, 12Hours Battery, Webcam, Zoom Meeting, Win11 + 1 Year Office 365, Rose Gold Customer Review: Super good I use it for class and battery it’s good I can use it for 2 days without charging it. -Daisyricalday Price: 249.99 2. ASUS VivoBook S13 The ASUS VivoBook S13 is one of the sleekest laptops on the market with a bezel that is just 8.3mm wide. The Full HD display features a 16:9 aspect ratio and a Full HD resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. The laptop has a 1x USB. Customer Review: I've been a Surface Pro 3&4 guy for the past 10 years. This out performs it on all levels and the Gen.11 Intels i5's can out preform some i7's this year. So while it was fun transferring keyboards from unit to unit (4 times) I've had enough, and can honestly say that at this price point (and the fact that half-life 2 plays flawlessly on it) if this holds up I won't be going back to that eco system. The USB C and the extra USB 3 are a nice touch, I appreciate that kind of fore thought. ASUS had TSTogether when they made this machine good job. -truthville Price: 589.99 3. Acer Nitro 5 Gaming Laptop Acer Nitro 5 Gaming Laptop 9th Gen Intel Core i5-9300H Processor - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Graphics with 4 GB of dedicated GDDR5 VRAM - 15.6 inches Full HD Widescreen IPS LED-backlit display; NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Graphics with 4 GB of dedicated GDDR5 VRAM Customer Review: At $579.99 for the AN515-54-5812 it's A REAL DEAL!!! Since the unboxing I have liked it's features and performance... It can be upgraded in storage and RAM. I will recommend this machine to my friends and family. -Enriq Orti Price: 737.99 4. MSI GL65 Laptop The MSI GL65 Leopard 10SFK-062 15.6" FHD is a thin and light 15.6" Full HD gaming laptop with 144Hz display, featuring an Intel Core i7 10750H, 8GB of RAM and a Nvidia RTX 2070 GPU. Customer Review: It's great. Ordered on 4/24 and arrived on 4/28. RTX 2070 is flawless. CPU is flawless. Cooling is sufficient but I haven't given it a hard push on everything with the highest settings. Screen is nice. Keyboard is pretty rad. Sound is better than expected. MSI registration was simple and setup up everything was a breeze. One thing to keep in mind is the power supply is big and heavy, but that's to be expected with a full RTX 2070 in here. So, this may affect portability a bit. Not an issue for me as this is now my main gaming rig and it handles everything. -Wolfvader Price: 2099.99 5. HP Notebook 2023 The 2023 Newest HP Notebook Laptop is a 360-degree convertible laptop that offers more ways to use it to suit your environment, such as time spent in the office, at home, and on the go.

Lenovo 15.6 inches Gaming Laptop Lenovo Legion 5 15.6 inches Gaming Laptop is refurbished, fully functional, and in excellent condition. Backed by the 90-day Amazon Renewed Guarantee, and has been professionally inspected, tested and cleaned by Amazon qualified vendors. Customer Review: love the design not only is this laptop a beast at gaming ,but also looks and feels sleek and doesn't just look like a gaming laptop. The main games i play are rust and modern warfare , they run amazing at high settings. The fan noise isn't to bad either i have owned a older laptop before hand and that one was much much louder. screen is a bit small for me for gaming ,but thats because im used to a 27 inch monitor from my desk top. The only thing i can think about disliking is the 512 ssd storage ,but you can always just unscrew the 11 screws on the bottom and plug a 2 tb ssd right next to it so not really a big deal. If you need a portable ,fast ,sleek gaming laptop this is the one for you. -Zack Hinton Price: 1279.00 7. HP 17z Laptop HP 2022 Newest 17z Laptop is most powerful 17-inch laptop, the HP 1922, is a more straightforward variation on the HP 17, with a 1920x1080 touchscreen display and a Ryzen 7 processor. Customer Review: Right out of the box, it worked great. A little time spent on setup then Google updated a few things, connected the WiFi, loaded my printer and I was online… Yes, I would recommend this for anyone doing really anything. Great Price and upgradable as well. Kudos HP!!!  -Shelton Price: 849.00 8. ASUS Gaming Laptop ASUS TUF FX505DT 15.6-inch FHD Gaming Laptop with electrical plugs are designed for use in the US. Outlets and voltage differ internationally and this product may require an adapter or converter for use in your destination. Please check compatibility before purchasing. Customer Review: Ever since I got this laptop, it has been a great ally. It has helped me get work done, enjoy games I wouldn't be able to run on other machines, and record basic music compositions. It was pricey, but that price is worth it for the durability. I have literally stepped on this laptop, and it is still running, looking as good as the day it arrived. -Vernalis Price: 629.00 9.

It's a little smaller than the one i had previously, however, I love the fact that it has a number pad/keyboard. This makes is so easy to use when crunching numbers I do not have to go to my desk top. -610610610 Price: 658.98 10. Lenovo IdeaPad 3 Lenovo IdeaPad 3 Laptop delivers performance with a purpose, driven by the AMD Ryzen 5 5500U mobile processor, 8GB DDR4 memory, and 512GB SSD storage. Dolby Audio delivers crystal-clear sound through 2 x 1.5W speakers. Whether you're watching a video, streaming music, or video-chatting, you’re sure to love what you hear. Customer Review: I dislike it when a laptop or computer is loaded with a bunch of “junkware” that goes unused and slows down computer performance. I was able to easily remove what I didn’t need and have a nice, clean startup screen with no issues (hallelujah). I paired it with a lenovo wireless keyboard and mouse and got an adjustable desk stand, no more neck/back issues. Happy with my purchase. :)  -Molly B. Price: 559.99 11.

Customer Review: The laptop works great, has a good battery life, bought it for school and it does everything I need it to. Were that all, it would be 4 stars. The 5th comes from their customer service. Like an idiot, I didn't even take all the components out of the box before reaching out to them and they got back to me within an hour or two holding my hand and guiding me to the charger in the small brown box.

I have no regrets so far as it is loaded with everything I desire. Nice and sturdy buttons on the keyboard. Quality screen etc. This is good for a business, school or everyday use, it is compatible with my HP printer. Easy to set up and use. I like the touch screen laptop I owned, but the screen blanked out and turn black. No more touch screen for me eventhough they are convenient like a microwave. Having read some reviews, I realized that others were having the same issue with the touch screen. Hence, I purchased 2 different laptops in couple of days and had to return them because they operated slouchy. What sense buying a laptop and then turn around and pay for other amenities, that should be included? I did a research and decided to give this HP Laptop a try. After setting up and testing, I can say it was a good deal. This one is perfect and will stay with me. Thank you seller for your truthful advertisement! -Hope Price: 699.00 15.

Customer Review: I was blown away by this computer, it is extremely thin, powerful (i7), and has a very bright and crisp screen. It put every other computer, including work computers, to shame in my house! My only complaint is the touch pad can be unwieldy and difficult to use in that you very much have to place your hand on it properly, not always an easy task, and you have to press quite hard to click. -Manny Steiner Price: 899.00 17. Acer Aspire 5 Slim Laptop Acer Aspire 5 A515-45-R74Z Slim Laptop is a sleek and stylish laptop perfect for both work and play. The 15.6" Full HD IPS display is perfect for movie marathon, and the 8GB of DDR4 RAM gives it plenty of power. Customer Review: This laptop is a fantastic deal for the price. The laptop uses the same body as the $500+ Acer Aspire 5 models which is to say it is a fantastic body that is light and compact and very portable. Ram can easily be upgraded and adding a 2.5" SSD allows for additional memory over the 128gb included on the computer. The keyboard is comfortable to type on and as a bonus still includes a full numpad even if it is a bit cramped. The screen is a solid IPS screen and when you consider the price tag is amazing and beats a lot of the more expensive laptop screens I have seen. -Chris Rosewill Price: 460.62 18.

I was using an ancient Dell for very minimal use (because that's all it would do) and with the quarantine in place I just needed someone other than my phone to surf the web and hold video conferences with friends. This laptop did not disappoint. The setup is quick and painless. Battery life is superb!

So far I've had it two days and I'm in love. Low profile, portable, doesn't look like a spaceship. Colors pop beautifully on the screen and games are very fluid if you can push high fps, which the Legion can definitely do if not at max settings with demanding games. Added a second NVMe and it's pretty much perfect for what I wanted.With some basic OC benchmarks way better than I expected. Over 70% for gaming on pcbenchmark. Runs very quiet and good temps under full load. -Arcadeus Price: 1280.00 You may also be interested in: Suffer from Motion Sickness?To those who like to travel but always worry about motion sickness, we recommend these methods to you.BucktripMELOStay Relax After Work in Prague7 hotels in Prague good for business travel.BucktripDeweyInto the Realm of Bohemia 💃🏻: PragueHere is some suggestions to explore, Prague, the historical capital of Bohemia, in different seasons.Bucktrip三口矛木

21 products for parents to look through when travel with your baby

21 products for parents to look through when travel with your baby

The Baby Must-Have List for Traveling: 1. Silicone Travel Bottles TSA Approved Silicone Travel Bottles for Toiletries: All three bottles come in a variety of sizes, small, medium and large. The small is perfect for lotions, soaps and shampoos. The medium and large bottles are great for toothpaste, toothbrush and makeup. Customer Review:     Perfect size! I needed them to be as big as possible and be able to legally put them in my carry-on. The case size helps too because I added a few other items that I needed like make up and toothpaste. I used them for a 10 day trip and they worked perfect! I will definitely recommend them!! -Amazon Customer Price: 17.88 2. UV Light Sanitizer Box It is a USB rechargeable UV sterilizer box. It is used to clean pacifier and baby's bottle nipple. It is a quick and easy way to clean for baby. Customer Review: I bought two of these, one for my daughter's family and one for my son's family. Both have babies learning about object permance, as the peditrician call it. I think they're just learning that Nana can be turned into a life-size jack-in-the-box. Needless to say when the kids are in this developmental stage during an international pandemic, it's helpful to have a sanitizer when you are out and can't rinse them before your child puts one in her mouth.  -Amazon Customer Price: 22.99 3. Toddler Plates Durable foldable plate that can be used by both baby and toddler -Made from 100% food grade silicone -BPA Free -Can be used in the microwave and dishwasher -Easy to clean -Attractive color -No need to worry about the crumbs on the table Customer Review: excellent and durable. And just the option that it’s so easy to carry is a super plus compared to the other brands you see. It fits in any diaper compartment or lunch back and you can secure it. Totally recommended! -PR Price: 19.99 4. Baby Wrap Carrier Ergonomic design lets you slide it over your torso like a T-shirt - Durable and lightweight - Moisture-wicking and breathable - Fits newborn to 44 lbs Customer Review:   This wrap is great! My boy runs really hot and this summer wrap totally keeps him from sweating against me. It was a bit tricky to get the hang of getting him in, but I think it’s like that with any baby wearing gear. I def had to size up so that he’d fit as he got a bit bigger too. -Susann_uh Price: 59.99 5. 3 in 1 Travel Bassinet Foldable Baby Bed This stylish diaper bag combines as a travel crib, nappy bag, and portable baby changing station all in one -It also can be used as a backpack, crossbody bag, handbag, or just hanging on a stroller -Light weight and easy to carry -Folds up into a cozy Customer Review:     This bag hold a lot and works as a bed. We were traveling whe my baby was a week old and used this as his bed and worked wonderful. The flight was 10 hours long and we were able to out a ton of bottles in here, blankets, and a lot of things.  -Toni Price: 69.99 6. Disposable Changing Pads Newclears Breathable Baby Pads are made with a new technology to provide a higher level of breathability to help keep skin dry and prevent heat rash. Each pad has a cloth-like backing with a cute animal design, and is sealed on all four sides to prevent leakage. Customer Review:   Great change pad to cover everything with little ones.... babies intend to touch everything they see... this has a %100 full coverage of those public changing tables. Highly recommend 👌🏼  -Amazon Customer Price: 23.99 7. Waterproof Bib Keep your little one’s clothes clean with Grabease Allover Bibs! Grabease bibs are made of 100% waterproof fabric and are easily wiped clean with a damp cloth, so you never have to worry about spills or crumbs getting on your baby’s clothes. Customer Review:                                                               I don't have a single complaint about this product, I love it and would buy it again if I had another baby. I have a very rough-and-tumble one year old and this bib works so perfectly for him. He slaps the food onto the floor much of the time, but the food never touches his clothes, and never gets down into the high chair. It wipes very clean, very easily and when its an especially messy lunch, dunking it in some soapy water and air drying works wonders. It is very waterproof, which I love for the moments my son turns his sippy cup upside down and gets milk everywhere. I highly recommend this product and will be buying it for gifts for friends.  -cjlnatan Price: 25.99 8. Baby Travel Kits This Convenience Kits International Johnson Baby Travel Kit TSA Approved includes a great assortment of baby bath supplies that will be a perfect baby shower gift. This set includes Johnson & Johnson shampoo, soap, and lotion, which are great for sensitive skin, and baby’s first bath toys. Customer Review:                                                       This is the perfect gift for a baby shower. It contains small sizes of bottles of shampoo, powder, and diaper rash cream.  -Sara L Price: 19.95 9. Baby Grooming Kits 8 in 1 baby hair brush - A cotton swab for baby nose - A nail clipper for baby nails - A nail scissors for baby nails - A manicure kit with a nail file - A toothbrush for baby fingers - A toothbrush for baby teeth - A nose Customer Review:                                                                               Este kit tiene todo lo que necesitas para lo básico del día a día. Calidad y precio bueno. Compralo -Esther Lugo Price: 13.90 10. Traveler Baby Gift Set This TSA-compliant baby gift set includes Johnson's Baby products for bath and skin care. There is a wide range of products for cuddle time, play time, and clean-up time. The set includes Johnson's Baby Lotion, Wash, Rash Cream, and Wipes. Customer Review: Amazon needs to add an extra layer of protection in some items since they cannot be shipped in bubble wrap bags. I rated 5 stars because it arrived fast and is great quality. But I expect more from Amazon packaging since this is a gift. I ended putting it in a gift basket with other items and the final destination will not even notice.Good travel size wipes, lotion and shampoo, the rash cream is smaller, like a sample size but great fro traveling or small bags. -Adam and Sue White Price: 27.99 11. Baby Bottle Brush Set Merystar Baby Bottle Brush Set -Comes with a nipple brush, drying rack, straw cleaner brush, and soap dispenser -Suitable for home, travel, and family visits -Comes with a silicone brush and an extendable handle Customer Review:   Very very smart baby product. I’ve 3 kids over last 7 years… of course I only grab it with my third.Perfect for travel. I’d say it’s a scosh big for every day in the diaper bag, but you could do it if you’ve the room. Very convenient and super helpful. I’ve tried a few different versions of travel drying racks, like the xox one (hate)This one is fabulous. I put dawn dish soap in the soap container with a little bit of water to help it work the pump.Worked perfectly.  -D Hallman Price: 15.49 12. Baby Bathtub Baby bathtub 1. Made of high-quality PVC, durable, soft and eco-friendly 2. Newly designed, foldable and reusable 3. Portable design, easy to carry 4. Non-slip design, no need to worry about baby sliding Customer Review:     This tub is perfect for babies who are to big for their plastic tub, and can’t sit up on their own yet. I was in need of a bigger tub for my boy (he’s been in the 90th percentile since 2 months old). He loves bath time so much more. Smells like plastic and if you don’t have an air compressor it’s a pain to fill with air. but works well for my bigger baby. We got this when he was 5 months old. He was around 26 inches long and 19 pounds, so if anyone needs a comparison there ya go. This tub will last him a while. Hasn’t lost air since we first filled it up a month ago.  -Jake and Michaela Porter Price: 24.99 13. Baby Feeding Set Baby Feeding Set,Food grade silicone, dishwasher, microwave, and freezer safe •Collapsible for easy packing •Cover built-in, prevents messes and spills •Durable and adorable " Customer Review:     This is a great feeding set! Came beautifully packed in a cute box and even with a bag to put everything in. Perfect for baby shower gift! Love that they are all collapsible, very convenient for traveling. Great quality and the Tiffany color is pretty. The bowl and the snack cup came with a lid. The cup comes with a straw, great for training.Seller was very helpful, they have classics feeding set and this travel feeding set, I couldn’t decide and she explained to me the differences.Can’t wait for baby to use them!  -Matt L Price: 39.99 14. Lightweight Baby Strollers The BABY K Lightweight Baby Stroller is a foldable air travel stroller for infants and toddlers 3-36 months. It is lightweight, compact and can be stored in any car with its simple one-hand fold and it has a reclining backrest for comfort. Customer Review: I really love how small this folds, it is perfect for traveling. Once the stroller is folded, there is a little pull handle that folds out so you can roll it behind you like luggage. This handle is a bit low, so if you are over about 5'6" you might have to stoop to reach it. There is a bag that comes with it that you can place the stroller in to then label it for air travel. It's not as light as an umbrella stroller, but not as heavy as a regular stroller. The bottom compartment is not big enough to hold much, just the basics like diapers, wipes and a toy or 2. I love the colors of the stroller which make it look more high end. It is easy to push and doesn't veer off in one direction more than another. You can also lock the front wheels to remain straight if you prefer the stroller to have locked wheels. -Tabatha L. Price: 150.99 15. Foaming Pump Hand Sanitizer This hand Sanitizer ills 99.9% of germs - even MRSA and tough E. coli - Made without parabens, sulfates, phthalates, fragrances or dyes - Alcohol-free - Made with plant-derived and other thoughtfully chosen ingredients - Moisturizing Customer Review:                   I read all the reviews on here that kept saying some bottles were empty or that they leaked when arrived. I was nervous to order but i took a chance when I saw they were available again. I received mine without any leakage or empty bottles. These are great unscented and alcohol-free hand sanitizers just as advertised. Especially great if you have a newborn and need to keep washing your hands! I suppose right now, order at your own risk If others had bad batches with empty bottles or leakage, I was fortunate to get a good pack -ama Icy Price: 24.44 16.Cartoon Hand Sanitizer Holders Hand sanitizer holders, 6 sets silicone keychain carriers for backpack - Refillable empty travel size bottle holders for school. - Good for hold sanitizer gel and liquid. - 2 styles: Soft silicone holders, or hard plastic holders. - Super cute cartoon girls with hands Customer Review: Very Cool. Both 7, 8 and 10 year old kids here love them. Great to have attached to the school rucksack and key ring.  -Therese Price: 12.99 17. Packable Sun Hats GOOD PRODUCT FOR OUTDOOR: Comfortable and breathable kids' face shied - help your children have a clean Facial Skin environment. Dust-Proof, Windproof, UV-Proof Customer Review: This is perfect! My 6month old likes the hat and got used to the face shield quickly. Very good quality. We use it every time we go in public right now. His anti-Covid hat! -FRECKLEFACE16 Price: 14.99 18. Travel Bed for Kids -Easy to inflate and deflate: The CloudSleeper is inflated with a built in pump. Air mattress bed automatically deflates and folds up into a compact carrying case. -Parents can sleep too: The CloudSleeper is designed to be enjoyed by both parents and children. Customer Review: We've been using a pack n play with the slumberpod tent over it for traveling with our toddler but they were growing out of the pack n play and we were going on a big Europe trip with limited rental car trunk space and didn't want to carry the bulky pack n play, hence why we bought this. We tried a generic Intex toddler mattress before this but it was bulky and heavy and didn't pack up well. This was perfect! Worth the extra money. It compresses down quite small and is NOT heavy at all. It did fit underneath our slumberpod (although it is slightly longer than it, and more narrow than the tent.) It makes some sound when on it, but no more than any other air mattress. Seemed very comfortable, toddler slept well on it, and the mesh worked well for keeping my child cool when sleeping in slightly too hot non-AC European rooms. -Stwin Price: 99.00 19. Lightweight Foldable Travel Crib The perfect bed for infants to toddlers Lightweight and easy to fold With a carry bag for easy transport Perfect for travel The lightweight, reliable, and durable playpen is perfect for baby sleeping, playing, and traveling. The perfect bed for infants to toddlers. Lightweight and easy to fold. Customer Review: My biggest need for a travel crib was for it to fit in my suitcase because we are flying, I am pleased this fits perfectly & was easy to assemble. The other biggest positive is that it comes with a mattress so I don’t have to buy anything additional! -Amazon Customer Price: 99.99 20. Silicone Baby Plates Dishes -8-Piece Set: includes four dish plates, four spoons and two forks -Dishwasher Safe -Ages 3 Months+ -For Outdoor & Indoor Activities -No-Slip Grip -Portable & Lightweight -BPA-free, Phthalate- Customer Review:   Super convenient and compact! We wouldn’t use the straw feature, a little too “dog bowl esque” but we would use both sides for food. Super easy to clean and use. There’s no suction capability in case that’s what you’re looking for but very helpful for on the go!-Ashlee G Price: 25.99 21. Suction Plates This baby plate divided is made of premium food grade silicone, which is free of Phthalates, Latex, Lead, and BPA, no hard plastic to hurt baby. Customer Review: My son is very smart about getting any plate off from the table with suctions cups we have bought 3 other brands before, but this one has very good suction power we use it at home and we also take it to restaurants after he is done eating we just use a napkin put it in diaper bag and go, its very easy to clean -dyre Lumbreras Price: 12.99 You may also be interested in: Get Your Family A Warm & Cozy Place to Rest in Munich8 family friendly hotels in Munich.BucktripDeweyThe Summer Savior - GelatoTop 8 ice cream shops in Rome.BucktripDeweyInto the Realm of Bohemia 💃🏻: PragueHere is some suggestions to explore, Prague, the historical capital of Bohemia, in different seasons.Bucktrip三口矛木

24 Tips For Coping With Motion Sickness On Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

Suffer from motion sickness? Do you ever get motion sickness? No worries, we have some tips for you to cope with motion sickness on planes, trains, and automobiles. We travel by car, bus, train, plane, boat, and other means, but we always travel by vehicle to our destination, don't we? Traveling is fun, but for those who suffer from motion sickness, it can be a painful part of an otherwise enjoyable trip.... In this issue, we will introduce measures to prevent motion sickness. Why do people get motion sickness? Humans maintain a sense of balance through the semicircular canals, an organ in the inner ear.The sense of equilibrium captured by the semicircular canals is transmitted to the brain for processing. However, when too much information is transmitted from the semicircular canals to the brain due to the irregular shaking and speed of the vehicle, the brain cannot keep up with the processing and the autonomic nervous system is disturbed, causing motion sickness symptoms such as cold sweats and stomach discomfort. There are individual differences in how the brain processes these symptoms, so some people are more resistant to motion sickness than others, and some people get drunk more quickly. Also, even people who do not normally get motion sickness may be triggered by smells or physical conditions. Now that we have established the causes of motion sickness, let's consider countermeasures. Physical Condition and Condition First of all, take measures by getting yourself in good physical condition! Depending on the measures you take, you may not get car sickness or seasickness, or it may become less severe. 1. Avoid a full stomach and an empty stomach Everything is better on an "eight-pack" stomach! 2. Do not drink too much alcohol the day before or beforehand. It will add motion sickness to alcohol sickness.... 3. Get a good night's sleep the day before. *Lack of sleep is the source of not only carsickness and seasickness, but also physical illness! 4. Wear loose-fitting clothes that do not constrict your body. Be especially careful not to constrict your stomach or waist area, as this will make you more susceptible to sickness! 5. Unwind and relax before boarding! Riding while feeling stiff or sluggish can have a negative impact. Simple stretching and exercises can help! Environment in the Ride Edition Although it may not be flexible due to personal circumstances, try to make the environment as less susceptible to car sickness and seasickness as possible. 6. Avoid smells in the car. *Not only from sight, but smells can also make you more susceptible to sickness. * If you are concerned about this, it is a good idea to put aroma oil of your favorite scent in your mask. 7. Secure the mask to the headrest to prevent head bobbing. Why not prepare a neck pillow sold as a travel item? Mental section Illness starts with the mind.... You may be able to reduce car sickness with your spirit. 8. Do not feel anxious that you might get drunk, or assume that you are easily intoxicated. Anxiety leads to a disturbance of the autonomic nervous system. I'm taking precautions so I won't get drunk! And tell yourself that you will not get drunk. 9. Listen to music to relax. To avoid thinking about unnecessary things, it is recommended to relax by listening to music. Behaviors Here are some behaviors to avoid or do when riding a vehicle. 10. Sit in the direction of travel and look in the direction of travel as much as possible. It is easy to feel sick if you sit with your back to the direction of travel. On airplanes, seats face only in the direction of travel, but on trains, when four people are seated facing each other, they will fight over the seats that face the direction of travel. 11. Avoid putting sour food in your mouth as much as possible. It is unlikely that you will directly eat lemon in the train, but even candy or juice can affect you, so be careful.And beware of orange juice from in- flight service! 12. Refrain from eating and drinking. Lunch boxes, snacks, carbonated beverages, coffee, soup, etc. can cause carsickness and seasickness. On the other hand, tea, water, mints, etc. can be refreshing and may be effective for car sickness/seasickness. 13. Do not concentrate on playing mobile games or reading. Staring at a single point makes you more susceptible to sickness. It is even more dangerous to follow fast-moving objects such as cell phone games with your eyes. Try not to keep your eyes close to the screen, but rather look vaguely into the distance. 14. It is often possible to stay sober if you fall asleep immediately after getting on a vehicle. Pay attention to your boarding position! The biggest cause of motion sickness is "shaking. Be aware that it depends on the position you sit in even if you ride the same vehicle. 15. Choose a seat that is less likely to sway. * Bus Photo by Herson Rodriguez / Unsplash ✅ Seat position is right above the front wheel and right above the rear wheel. ❌ Seat directly above the front wheel and above the rear wheel. * Since shaking occurs from the large tires, seats away from the tires have the least amount of shaking. * Airplane Photo by Sonia Nadales / Unsplash ❌ Around the center of gravity slightly forward of the center of the aircraft ❌ Rear part of the aircraft * The center of gravity is in the front, so the rear part of the plane will sway more. * The area above the wings does not allow passengers to enjoy the scenery, which also affects sickness. * Ship Photo by Alonso Reyes / Unsplash ✅ Opposite to airplanes, in the back (aft), as close to the surface of the sea as possible. ❌ Forward (bow), away from the surface of the sea, on the second or third floor, on the roof deck, etc. * Ships are subjected to waves from the front, so the front part of the ship will sway, while the back part will be more stable. What to do if you get drunk If you get drunk even after taking precautions, you want to relieve the symptoms as much as possible. 16. Bite the area around the first joint of your thumb for about 15 seconds, with enough force to be slightly painful. 17. The slightly concave area on the back of the hand between the thumb and index finger is a pressure point for motion sickness. It is also effective when pressed for prevention. 18. If symptoms are mild, change your mood by talking or stretching. 19. Open a window to get a cool breeze. If you are on a ship, go out on the deck and enjoy the breeze. 20. Gaze at a distant view or something that doesn't change much. 21. Keep your head still and cool it down. 22. Loosen your clothes. Last resort You can try this but try not to rely too much. 23. Rely on anti-sickness medicine. It is not advisable to rely too much on medicine, but it is recommended for those who have not been able to avoid carsickness or seasickness in spite of all measures taken so far. For those who have hesitated to travel because they are worried about motion sickness! Please give them a try.

How to Survive Airport Security?

How to Survive Airport Security?

Do you always feel uneasy when going through security checkpoints at airports before your flight departs? Here are some Airport Security Checkpoint strategies. Just clear these and you're good to go! When you walk through the security gate, or when your baggage goes through the metal detector, and the alarm goes "beep, beep, beep, beep! When the alarm goes off, you wonder what you have caught! However, security checkpoints are not scary as long as you check your baggage carefully. Let's check what you should pay attention to at security checkpoints so that you can pass through with impunity. This article introduces the case of domestic flights. How long before I have to pass through? Each airline has its own cutoff time for passing through security checkpoints. Especially in the case of LCCs, boarding gates are often located far from security checkpoints. Please be aware that the deadline is earlier for LCCs because the boarding gates are often farther away from the security checkpoints and it is expected to take more time. For JAL, ANA, and Skymark, the deadline is 20 minutes before departure. Peach and Jetstar: 25 minutes before departure. This is the "deadline" time. Rushing in at the last minute can cause trouble. It is better to pass through the security checkpoint with plenty of time to spare, then relax on a bench near the boarding gate and spend the time until departure in a graceful manner. Measures to Prevent Transmission of the New Coronavirus At some airports, body temperature checks are conducted near the entrance to security checkpoints. Since the temperature is taken by thermography, you do not need to wait in line, but if you are stopped by an officer, follow their instructions. If you run through the airport just before the deadline, your body temperature will temporarily rise, and you may be stopped and not be able to make it in time... This can cause problems, so please allow plenty of time to get to the security checkpoint. Also, you will have more chances to come in contact with things at the security checkpoint as you move your baggage in and out. Hand sanitizer is available at the security checkpoint, so be sure to disinfect your hands in a timely manner. Items that must not be worn when passing through the metal detector The following items may not be worn or carried in your pockets while passing through the gate. Put them in your bag or on the tray provided at the security checkpoint before passing through the gate. * Electronic devices such as smartphones, digital cameras, earphones, watches, etc. * Wallets * Metal items such as accessories * Other metal items in your pockets (coins, keys, digital cameras, smoking accessories, small items, etc.) * Belts with large metal buckles or metal ornaments * Boots that cover the heels If your cell phone, keys, wallet, etc. are in your bag to be inspected as hand luggage, you do not need to take them out. You do not need to take out the items in your jacket pockets either, as they will be taken off and put through the inspection. If you prepare them by rummaging around in the inspection area, it will take a long time and the pressure from people behind you may gradually increase.... By putting them in your bag in advance, you can shorten the time it takes to get ready before and after inspection, and prevent forgetting to pick them up after inspection. Although it is not highly likely to happen on domestic flights, zippers on hoodies and other clothing may react, so it may be better to take them off. If there is a metal reaction with the metal detector, you will be re-inspected. You will be instructed to go through a contact inspection (body check), remove your footwear (shoes), belts, items in your pockets, etc., and go through the gate again. Items to be removed from your bag and checked The following items will not be allowed to pass through the X-ray process without being removed from your bag. If you leave the following items in your bag and let them pass through the X-ray, they will be checked again. Therefore, please remove the following items from your bag and place them on a tray to be checked separately before passing through the X-ray. * PCs and tablets * Water bottles, tumblers, PET bottles * Sprays * Hair irons * Smoking lighters Water bottles, tumblers, and other beverages will be checked by opening the lid and checking the smell or taking a sip in front of a staff member. Even if they are empty, they will be checked, so take them out of your bag. Unopened PET bottles will be passed through an X-ray machine, and if the attendant can see it, it is OK! If you have any of the above items to be taken out of your bag, put them together in advance so that they can be easily removed before proceeding to the security checkpoint. Items that are not allowed in carry-on baggage The following items must be checked in at the airport counter. In other words, these items will be caught at the security checkpoint and cannot be carried on board as carry-on baggage. * Knives (scissors, cutters, etc.) * Pointed objects/ bats (e.g., pincers, golf clubs, baseball bats, etc.) If any of the above items are found at the security checkpoint, they will not be accepted as carry-on baggage. If any of the above items are found at the security checkpoint, they will not be checked in at the security checkpoint. You must either dispose of them as abandoned items or return to the airline counter and re-check them in or return to the airline counter and re-check the baggage. One last check! Are you prepared in advance? At the entrance to the security checkpoints, there are also signs for prohibited items and items that must not be brought through the security checkpoint. There are also signs at the entrance to the security checkpoints that list prohibited items and items that are not allowed to pass through. Please make sure to check it again. Important! When passing through the security checkpoint, each passenger will need a terminal displaying an airline ticket or barcode. If you are too nervous about going through the security checkpoints, you may be asked to bring your ticket or barcode. If you are nervous about going through security checkpoints, you may not be able to remove any items you are wearing or take out of your bag. Some people are so nervous about going through security checkpoints that they forget where they put their tickets and barcodes. Many people forget where they put their tickets and have to search for them. This can cause problems for the people behind you, so be sure to have your ticket ready at hand. It is important to have your ticket ready at hand. Some people may think this is a complicated process, but it is not. Security checkpoints are an important fortress to protect our safety in the sky. If you pay attention to the information presented here, you will have nothing to fear at security checkpoints! There is nothing to be afraid of at the security checkpoints! You can go through security checkpoints with confidence. All you have to do is follow the flow of the security checkpoint and the guidance of the security personnel. You will pass through the security checkpoint smoothly.

Fed up with keeping the same pace with friends while indulging yourself in galleries, but have no motivations to visit exhibitions by your own? We got a pretty great tip here for you! Google Arts & Culture has curated a series of exhibitions on their virtual galleries, now, come and take a look before you step outside your sweet room. 1. Kandinsky at Pompidou -      Discover Kandinsky Gallery Wassily Wassilyevich Kandinsky was a Russian painter and art theorist. He is credited as the pioneer of abstract art. Kandinsky was successful enrolled at the University of Moscow, studying law and economics, at first and began painting studies at the age of 30. In 1896, Kandinsky settled in Munich, studying at Anton Ažbe's private school and then at the Academy of Fine Arts. He returned to Moscow in 1914, after the outbreak of World War I. Following the Russian Revolution, Kandinsky "became an insider in the cultural administration of Anatoly Lunacharsky" and helped establish the Museum of the Culture of Painting. However, by then "his spiritual outlook... was foreign to the argumentative materialism of Soviet society", and opportunities beckoned in Germany, to which he returned in 1920. There he taught at the Bauhaus school of art and architecture from 1922 until the Nazis closed it in 1933. Follow Kandisky's evolution through time and space 3 rooms, curated by Kandisky expert Angela Lampe from Centre Pompidou. 2. Meet Vermeer       All of the artist's paintings togother for the first time in history Johannes Vermeer was a Dutch Baroque Period painter who specialized in domestic interior scenes of middle-class life. He was a moderately successful provincial genre painter, recognized in Delft and The Hague. Vermeer worked slowly and with great care, and frequently used very expensive pigments. He is particularly renowned for his masterly treatment and use of light in his work. "Almost all his paintings", Hans Koningsberger wrote, "are apparently set in two smallish rooms in his house in Delft; they show the same furniture and decorations in various arrangements and they often portray the same people, mostly women." His modest celebrity gave way to obscurity after his death. He was barely mentioned in Arnold Houbraken's major source book on 17th-century Dutch painting and was thus omitted from subsequent surveys of Dutch art for nearly two centuries. Step inside the firist exhibition to bring all 36 paintings by Johannes Vermeer togather in one place which curated by the Mauritshuis and features artworks from 18 museums across seven countries. 3. From Africa to Japan       Contemporary Africa and Japanese artworks from the Jean Pigozzi Collection The Jean Pigozzi African Art Collection, based in Geneva, is the largest private collection in the world of contemporary African art. It includes works of artists who live or lived in sub-Saharan Africa. The C.A.A.C. is a passionate personal adventure that made its mark by means of careful and unbiased choices. The C.A.A.C. collects the works of more than 160 artists who stand for the wealth and diversity of contemporary African art. It is constantly acquiring new pieces and remains in close personal contact with its artists. While the JaPigozzi Collection is a collection of over 3000 artworks by around 250 artists, focused on the young Japanese art scene. The Collection was begun by Jean Pigozzi in 2008. Many of the artists use detailed techniques, creating tension when it depicts imagery that is sometimes disturbing, fetishist or pseudo-naïve. However, these themes are alleviated by humour, playfulness and beauty. Many of the works have a strong and detailed sense of narrative. Story-telling becomes fractured by tools such as irregular perspective, abstract passages or multi-layered vignettes. Surrealism and Absurdism are central features in many of the works, introducing emotional or cerebral undertones. A passionate comtemporary African art collector since 1989, Jean Pigozzi, started a new collection dedicated to Japanese comtemparory art. Discoer some of the collections' gems from the largest private collection of its kind in the world. 4. Klimt vs. Klimt       A never-before-seen virtual gallery exploring the enigmatic genius of Gustav Klimt Gustav Klimt was an Austrian symbolist painter who was a prominent member of the Vienna Secession movement. His primary subject was the female body, and his works are marked by a frank eroticism. He also painted landscapes. Klimt was the most influenced by Japanese art and its methods out of all the artists of the Vienna Secession. Early on in his career, he was successful in painting architectural decorations in a conventional manner. However, Gustav Klimt is an enigma, a man of contradictions. As he began to develop his own personal style, his work was met with controversy. This culminated when the paintings he completed around 1900 for the ceiling of the Great Hall of the University of Vienna were criticized as being pornographic. As a result of this, he accepted no more public commissions. However, he achieved new success with the paintings of his "golden phase", many of which include gold leaf. Klimt's work was an important influence on his younger peer Egon Schiele. Scholar or innovator? Feminist or womanizer? Famous artist or humble craftsman? The anwser, in most cases, is both. Enter the gallery to find out more. 5. Life in Miniature       Discover nature, love, celebrations, faith and power in Indian miniatures Nature Miniature paintings often depict lush foliage as a backdrop to the stories. The landscape sometimes seems to have its own vocabulary, echoing the human moods and concerns in the painting. Nature is depicted as a delightful counterpoint to human activities. Teeming jungles burst with wildlife as kings and princes hunt, peacocks dance welcoming the onset of the rains, and blooming vegetation provides shelter for lovers. Love Raja Savant Singh was an accomplished poet and devotee of Krishna who was one of the greatest patrons of painting at the Kishangarh School. He wrote devotional verse with a beautiful singer and poetess, known to us as Bani Thani. The love of Savant Singh and Bani Thani became legendary, inspiring many paintings of love made at Kishangarh. Celebrations Miniature painters in India often depicted celebrations of joyous events and festivals with vivid and vibrant detail. Holi, the most colourful of festivals, was enthusiastically played by people across religion, caste, class, and gender. The painting Krishna Playing Holi’ expresses this playful exuberance of colour. Faith The Bhakti movement was a religious movement that started in the 15th century in East and North India. The movement was inspired by poet-saints who emphasised alternative paths to spiritual enlightenment, Bhakti, which in fact characterised by passionate devotion to a deity. The Bhakti movement found its expression in Indian painting as many texts such as the Gita Govinda were lavishly illustrated. Power Power never mute. The miniatures in this collection depict the fluidity of power through the gods, kings, queens, and nobles that shaped the course of dynasties and kingdoms. The earliest Indian miniature paintings date to 10th century CE, tell stories of lives ecperiences, and the form evolved over centuries, through palm leaf to paper, and to using materials like lapis lazuli.

Enjoy leisure time with your kids on long flights with these 21 products

Seize the Peaceful Moments on the Fly. 1. Car Seat Trays Carry-on size fits all airplane seats - Fits most car seats with easy installation - Features a dry erase board and tablet holder - Holds drinks, snacks, and tablets - Sits flat when not in use Kids Travel Tray - Safe and lightweight - Durable and comfortable Customer Review: The product was pretty well as described. Where it really won for me was simply helping to contain toys and snacks from falling behind and off the sides of the airplane tray table (for which it was a tad large but not unusable). My five-year-old could play/watch the tablet while having his drink and snacks secured, and my two-year-old could play with his toy dump trucks and Play-Doh rocks without them falling off the sides constantly. They both folded up decently to fit along with the other books and toys in my carry-on bag. May be a lot for a short flight but definitely contributed to an easier travel day for us. -mc Price: 28.99 2. Pillani LCD Writing Tablet - 10"x7.5" LCD Writing Tablet for kids - Comes with 8 drawing pens - Includes a pen holder - Includes a stylus - Includes a carrying case - Includes a blank white board - Comes with a 1-year warranty Customer Review: My 3yr old daughter loves this drawing tablet! The box came nicely packaged and wrapped in foam. There is a on/off switch on the back, just in case you think it doesnt work check the switch on back first. It also has a lanyard hole, to place a leash on it so it doesnt fall out of seat or stroller. It comes with lithium coin battery and has a removable slot to replace the battery. Its larger than a previous smaller one we purchased, she prefers the big one now more, as it sits across her lap better. -longboarder Price: 11.95 3. Activity book The deMoca Quiet Book is designed to stimulate learning through sensory activities and touch. - Includes a burp cloth, a sensory toy and a mini book. - A perfect preschool learning toy for babies and toddlers. - Features 9 Montessori toddler activities, helps kids natural learning through play. Customer Review:   I love the activity book! I just got it and since it was Thanksgiving Weekend I haven’t had a chance to show it to the grandchild I had in mind when I bought it, a 2 year old. I want her to have it for car rides and church. But my older grandkids were here for two days, ages 3, 5, and 6. And they were totally fascinated by it. I was surprised that they actually needed help learning to button, zip, and snap! I’m glad I bought it and I’m sure it will be something they look forward to playing with at Grammys house!  -Arlene Zawko Price: 34.95 4. Car Seat Travel Bag for Airplane Keeps car seat in a safe place - Opens like a book for easy loading and unloading - Protects the car seat from damage - Airline approved - Fits convertible car seats, infant carriers, and booster seats - Made of durable, lightweight material - Conveniently folds Customer Review: Fit nicely over my doona stroller/ car seat combo.

HahaGift Toys You get 3 magic books with 3 pre-printed pages and 3 blank pages. (3D sticker, water pen, and 3D sticker) -Magic book A: -The first pre-printed page shows a dinosaur. The second pre-printed page shows a whale. Customer Review: These are great little drawing books! Love the fact that they are mess free and keep my toddler busy for hours! Very very easy to use, just fill the pen with water and draw! We use it a lot when my daughter is in the carseat so she doesn’t get bored.Love it and would purchase again  -Svetlana V Price: 13.99 6.

This book has 1 to 10 stickers. 4. The number of stickers on the page matches the number in the upper right corner. 5. This book is for children who are learning to count. Customer Review: I bought this book with the intention of turning it into a reusable teaching material. I laminated the stickers and add Velcro rounds to them so that they are reusable. An extra benefit of adding Velcro to the stickers is that I can now use it to teach addition and subtraction as the stickers can now be easily removed from the page. My 2.5 year old had lots of fun counting and doing subtraction with it. This book is perfect for my purpose because the pages are thick and do not crumple when pulling the Velcro rounds off. -Oxydozyga Price: 3.99 9. Busy Cube Encourages children's sense of discovery, imagination and creativity.  A real toolbox with screws, bolts, nuts and gears.  Contains chalkboard, water tap and switch.  Material: Durable natural wood - Dimensions: 9.2 x 9.2 x 9.2 inches Customer Review:     I was skeptical about this cube, but it has managed to repeatedly keep my one year old occupied for a great length of time, which as any parent knows, doesn’t happen easily. I love that it is big enough so that his hands can easily handle it. Also, the keys that can attached are chained on, which I appreciated for safety reasons. It has also been dropped a lot and it has held up with no damage - Jamber Price: 13.59 10. Rainbow Scratch Paper Sets 59pcs Rainbow Scratch Paper Set - 3 different colors: Red, Yellow, Blue - Made of premium paper, durable and long-lasting - Great for travel and on the go - A toy, drawing pad, and play mat - Perfect for children and adults of all ages Customer Review: I used this in my son’s party favor boxes and it was a hit!

Great product. -Rose Price: 7.94 12. Coogam Travel Tangram Puzzle Coogam is an award-winning company dedicated to the production of educational toys and puzzles. This Magnetic Pattern Block Book is a Tangram puzzle, which is a dissection puzzle consisting of seven flat shapes, called tans, which are put together to form shapes. Customer Review: I wanted something small that I can work with while eating breakfast or hanging out. This hit the mark! I wanted the one that came with two sets of magnets, but am glad I didn’t get it. There is not enough space to work if a second set is there. The magnetic page and pieces are SUCH a help. Makes it super easy to work with. This is perfect just the way it is. Note: I bought this for myself, and it is challenging even for an adult.  -S. Donahue Price: 13.99 13. Hidden Pictures Book Hidden Pictures: The Hardest Book Ever 1,500 total objects to find Featuring more than 1,500 total objects to find, this book of puzzles and brain teasers is a fun and engaging way for kids to exercise their minds. Customer Review:   So many of these books are too easy for this age level, but this book contained really challenging hidden pictures and kept family members busy for quite a while. During our birthday party, I looked up and there was my 40 year old son, 12, 9 & 6 year old great grandchildren on the floor with this book, all working together trying to resolve the hidden pictures. It was a winner.  -lalalaso Price: 6.27 14. Kids Erasable Doodle Book Se Includes 14 reusable pages, 12 color pens, 3 pages for coloring painting, 2 pages for tracing painting and 9 blank pages for free drawing. - Hours of fun for kids - Suitable for ages 3,4,5,6,7 - Great for drawing, doodling and coloring Customer Review: Kids erasable doodle pad I got this as a gift for my grandson because we do a lot of traveling with him and we are always looking for something for him to use while he’s in the backseat and he love to doodle all the time great for traveling and well worth the money  -Tom Price: 13.99 15. Disposable Diaper Pail Munchkin Toss is the perfect solution for on-the-go diaper disposal. Each durable, freestanding pail holds up to 30 newborn diapers. A resealable lid with odor-trapping panels keep stink and wetness contained. Customer Review: So my munchkins are 4 legged pooping machines. We recently downsized to a very small yard and we have to collect poop daily. These little pails do a great job of keeping the garage from stinking to high heaven. They hold over a week of poo bags for two medium sized dogs. I considered getting a litter genie or a diaper pail but wasn’t sure about the extra room and effort of dealing with the liners. This is the perfect compromise. I also keep one of these in the trunk of my car as an impromptu garbage pail for road trips.  -Fuji Price: 14.99 16.

They are easily adjustable and come with an extra strap for different sizes as they grow. They block most of the noise. My boy didn't flinch once while watching his dad shoot. Highly recommend these. 👍🏻👍🏻💯  -dltseed Price: 29.99 17. 4-Piece Twist Lock Stackable Containers 1. 2-layer twist and lock stacking container with airtight seal 2. Clear and sturdy plastic and convenient for storage and carry Customer Review: I love this. I'm trying to lose weight, and this also helps me with portion control for my snacks. I'm getting more for my husband, mom, and sister. -Niq Sedillo Price: 14.99 18. Disposable Bibs Bibsters disposable bibs include a patented crumb catcher, which keeps food and drinks off baby’s clothes. - Bibsters disposable bibs are made with a leak-proof liner and come with a reusable fastener, so they can be adjusted to fit your baby’s neck size Customer Review: This little bugger is leaking like crazy from his mouth. Drool everywhere. but these disposable bibs... They helped with managing the whole situation. Given, at five and a half months old, we had to swap out disposable bibs about every 90 minutes or so. And the waterproof backing on them definitely kept his shirt dry. Made traveling with baby so much easier. Will definitely be buying these again next time we travel or are going to be out for longer than usual. -Oscar B Chacon Price: 12.43 19. Travel Foot Rest Pillow The Airplane Footrest Pillow is a must-have for people who travel a lot and want to make the long trip more comfortable. With this inflatable footrest pillow, you can take a break and relax on your travels. Customer Review: I used on an international trip and help a lot!

It's the best purchase I've made in a long time. I have a graco car seat and it worked perfectly! My car seat is big so I was nervous about it not fitting but it worked perfectly!!  -Jocelyn Price: 17.99 21. Portable UV Light Sanitizer Box Portable UV Light Sanitizer Box ,Clean 99.99%+harmful substance of from pacifiers and bottle nipples in 59 seconds with using UV-C led(UV-C led- Long life and more efficiently) Customer Review: I bought two of these, one for my daughter's family and one for my son's family. Both have babies learning about object permance, as the peditrician call it. I think they're just learning that Nana can be turned into a life-size jack-in-the-box. Needless to say when the kids are in this developmental stage during an international pandemic, it's helpful to have a sanitizer when you are out and can't rinse them before your child puts one in her mouth. -Amazon Customer Price: 22.99 You may also be interested in: Was mich nicht umbringt, macht mich stärker 🦾: Berlin“What does not kill me makes me stronger” | Berlin, the city with vibrant culture, cutting-edge architecture, intense parties and tangible history.BucktripSandra EdwardsA Trip Greeted with Waves8 Hotels with Sea Views in Jeju.BucktripDewey ShermanUnder the Roofing of Aurora6 Cozy Chalet Hotels in Rovaniemi.BucktripDewey Sherman

Room service was also excellent. I took another family with me at your Hotel and they was amazed of the service received at Marriott's. I was at the Hotel in 2016 and returned in 2020 recently and there have been mass improvement with the ambiance and re-modelling of the facility. Due to Covid-19 there were many restrictions, but your staff made it very comfortable for our stay.

I pre- booked a private car from Asia gardens to collect us at the airport, and although we were delayed by nearly 2 hours our driver was still there to collect us on arrival. This cost was 115 euros but worth every penny, greeted immediately with complimentary water and a 35 minute drive in an air conditioned car We arrived quite late so checked in and got our head down to explore the grounds the following day. Asia gardens is in a microclimate so we enjoyed temperatures of 27+ each day The grounds were well spaced out with a very calming relaxed feeling, although there were some children there this was well thought out with designated family and adult only areas Breakfast was a vast buffet selection each morning and set us up for the day Plenty of on resort restaurants to choose from for evening dinner, and piano champagne bars also secluded, tranquil setting with the option to head into Benidorm if you wish (around 15 mins and 15 euros in a cab) Favourite evening meal had to be the Koh Samui - lovely food, and fantastic service, followed by drinks at the bonsai bar, great atmosphere and great service We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Asia Gardens and Ed have already recommended to our friends and family ….

We decided to eat there because of the ratings here on Yelp. It didn't look like much, just some local Indian eatery.  The first time we went, couldn't even get in! So we made reservations for the following night. Oh my God, it was so much better than I expected. The food was wonderful. Some of the best Indian food I've eaten since I was in India 15 years ago. Also, if you have peanut allergies (like I do), there are many dishes they can make without the peanuts. And they're careful about cross contaminating dishes. I had absolutely no problem. The restaurant staff were excellent, friendly and attentive. If you eat dinner, I recommend making reservations. Lunch may well be the same way, so again, I recommend giving them a call. It is worth it. Wonderful food and a good staff in a small & delicious local Indian eatery.” — G. R. “We stopped here for a quick dinner on my last night in Melbourne. It was cold and rainy outside. The restaurant was full of people and there were a couple of small tables outside. The place is not large but seems to use space efficiently. The girl at the counter said we could sit outside or, if we wanted there was a table for two that we could have for 45 minutes inside. We sat inside, ordered quickly and we're served quickly as well. The food was really tasty and we finished in about 46 minutes, not really feeling rushed, but they definitely wanted the table back for the reservation. We had the chaat platter and mixed grill... to get a sampling of their offerings in our limited time. The tandoori chicken was really excellent. I suggest making a reservation. Also, my cell phone had just about zero reception once we hit the small alley where this place is located, so be aware if you're trying to meet someone there.” — Doug B. “tasty Indian food but very small portions. I got the chicken tikka tandoori and there were only a couple small pieces of meat for $16. My friend had the bhel puri, samosa chaat, and mango lassi and enjoyed everything but found the food to be a little too spicy.” — Izzy W.

Thank you Nishiyama Ryokan for making our stay so special!” — Michs “We stayed with another couple for 1 night, but I wish we had more time to fully enjoy the stay at Nishiyama Ryokan. They treated us with care, paid detailed attention to our needs, and the rooms were super clean and the bathrooms were really nice. I also used the big bath downstairs and it was also clean and relaxing. I slept well in a nice futon. The food was first class and I think we ate everything. A big compliment to the chef and the server lady was super assertive and helpful. We were also amazed by the traditional tea ceremony performed and served by the second generation owners. They were so fantastic, polite and kind. We want to come back. I'd recommend this Ryokan to anyone.” — DallasTexas123 “An amazing place to stay!

We were welcomed by a super friendly lady, who made us feel at home as soon as we entered. Our room was in the first level with lots of natural light. The room is a typical Japanese traditional with tatamis and futons. At night they brought us some warm tea which was perfect as it was still rather cold in January.

The building is clean and well preserved. The attention to details is fantastic, as everyday you get little treats like tea and cookies. The staff also was very friendly and polite. The location is convenient, close to a subway station and bus stops, and there are several restaurants nearby, but still in a quiet neighborhood. Maybe a bit distant from the most important Kyoto's landmarks, but still easy to move in the city using public transportation.” — Diego M “We had a delightful few days at this lovely ryokan. Service was super friendly and welcoming. The room was cosy and traditional (futons on floor, with thick, warm duvets). The location is great, just a short walk to a quiet station which will take you to Gion and Pontocho in a few stops. The same train line also links to local routes which will take you to several of the less busy temples. If you are lucky enough to be here for the autumn leaves as we were then you should see Enkoji and Shisen-do (they are next to each other): sublime! Many thanks to Sawaya Honten for a memorable stay in Kyoto.” — cwdbrighton “We stayed there for 11 nights and very much enjoyed it. This was our first Ryokan experience and we would go back there anytime. The place is clean and the owner was friendly and accommodating.

Staffs were very helpful and fluent in English as well. Great service, great breakfast (as we did not choose dinner option) and more than great bath.” — hkjerry “This homely ryokan exudes a warm welcoming feeling with its super comfortable futons, yummy breakfast and friendly staff. Prices are steep but worth every cent. We walked to all the major scenic spots in Arashimaya and enjoyed the crisp fresh morning air. Will most certainly come back here when we next visit Kyoto.” — raykuan “Food, hospitality, and location were incredible. The location could not have been better. We ate dinner over looking the mountains, river, and bridge. And the private onsen..... so relaxing. This was one of our most expensive excursions while in Japan but it was worth every penny to experience this traditional Japanese inn. We had SO MUCH food and were so relaxed.

Close to many things, but west end of central and behind the Halekulani, so limited views and limited beach.

"If you're in Prague and you need a really great place to have breakfast, you have to try this place.  It doesn't have the old world charm of the Cafe Savoy, but the food is really good.  It's not far from the center of things, and you get to take in some of the sights."—Thomas A.

There’s even a whiff of the 1930s, 40s, and 1970s for good measure, or perhaps it’s just the bourbon speaking. The food and beverage is not your typical tourist trap prices or quality. They believe that food and drink should be good, fairly priced, and be of good value. You should not have to get a loan to go out and eat.

I don't care it wasn't authentic, it was perfection and some of the best breakfast I have ever had."—Maggie A. "I guess yelpers aren't that big of a thing in Prague because if this place was back home in Toronto or in any major North American city this place would have like over 300 reviews and 5 stars."—Jasmine C.

8 French restaurants in Auckland that always got my attention

8 French restaurants in Auckland that always got my attention

"Impossible n’est pas français." in Auckland, New Zealand. 1. Crêpes A Go-Go This shop is the perfect place to come and take the time to eat a fabulous crêpe on the spot. You will be able to seat and relax here while enjoying your treat! The shop offers a wide variety of both sweet and savory crêpes, so there's something for everyone to enjoy. The friendly staff are always on hand to help, and the relaxed atmosphere makes it the perfect place to sit back and enjoy your crêpe. Food popular here * Banana loving Crepes with NUTELLA * Pear Nutella and nuts * Sun dried tomato and mushroom galette Let’s see how people review this restaurant “In the Ponsoby area, this is the perfect place to grab a quick snack or a light breakfast before you get going. They have a small stall in the food market and an expansive menu of sweet and savory crepes. I went with a simple passion fruit curd crepe, while my boyfriend was more adventurous with a maple and bacon topped crepe. The base crepe is thin, light, and only just slightly sweet (which I think is pretty good, as far as crepes go). The passion fruit curd was delightfully tart and was, in my opinion, a perfect topping. To add even more to your experience, they serve the crepe on a wood block with a dainty pizza cutter for what can only be described as an instagram-able plating experience.” — Laura S. “I think half the fun is watching the creeps be made. It's like an art in itself. The only other place I've had a crepe was in France, and these were just as wonderful. The only downside is having too many options. No matter what I were to choose, there'd be someone ordering a different sweet or savory that I'd wished I'd ordered. In this case, I was craving something sweet and got the strawberrys and caramel Nutella...then saw the "savory" ham, cheese, egg and carmalized onion one my brother bought and wanted to switch when he wasn't looking. I guess the solution to my dilema would be to go in a group and order a bunch of sweet or savory, then share. The location of Crepes a gogo is right on the water and in the middle of everything so you can also order pizza or nachos right next door and make a meal of it all.” — Laura C. “I love this place ! I go here often, especially  when I am on the run and needing somethin quick and easy. It was the last & first place I visited when I travelled overseas for a few months... I missed it THAT much.” —Keryn F. Restaurant Info * https://www.crepesagogo.co.nz/ * 021 952 323 * 136-138 Ponsonby Rd Ponsonby Central Auckland 1011 New Zealand 2. The Engine Room They always cook with seasonal ingredients, sourcing them from local growers or growing them themselves whenever possible. While using high-quality produce and employing skilled cooking techniques are essential to creating great dishes, they believe that the best meals are also about the overall experience. Every dish is inevitably connected to a memory, such as where you ate it, who you were with, the surroundings, the weather, or the ambience. All of these factors contribute to the taste of a dish. Food popular here * Rabbit rillette * Confit duck with grilled peach, Israeli Couscous and babaganoush * Cheese soufflé Let’s see how people review this restaurant “We took the ferry from Auckland to Northcote and walked up to the Engine Room. What a great spot! As expected, We thoroughly enjoyed the soufflé as a starter. For our mains, we had the duck (delicious) and the snapper (fine but not out of this world). We split the panna cotta for dessert, which was amazing! The wine list tended toward the pricey, but we found a Pinot Gris that we both enjoyed.” — Jason L. “Everything they say about the twice baked goat soufflé is true! A classy local joint for a romantic dinner or a culinary trailer for a Bridgeway cinema experience. Great cocktails and wine list and helpful staff. Worth a sunset trek over the bridge.” — Hiran T. “The Engine Room offers a great dining experience. It's not a formal, stiff, high end place with lots of carefully thought out areas and an excruciatingly well-paid interior designer. It is a high end restaurant with an open plan, a view into the kitchen, a chalk board menu, lots of ambience and amazing food. I had the Steak frites (steak and chips in French) which were absolutely to die for, followed by an extravagant chocolate dessert. Probably my daily food budget, both calorific and monetary, in one meal, but it was definitely worth it.” — Sarah B. Restaurant Info * https://www.engineroom.net.nz/ * 09 480 9502 * 115 Queen St Northcote Point Auckland 0627 New Zealand 3. Sidart Sidart believes in using the best seasonal produce and ingredients from growers and farmers in the Auckland region and throughout New Zealand. They work with local suppliers to source exceptional ingredients that form the basis of their contemporary menu. Their ever-changing menu is inspired by the seasons and the availability of fresh produce. Owner and executive chef Lesley Chandra draws on his Fijian Indian roots to create dishes that are vibrant and full of flavor. Their wine list features some of the best regional vineyards of New Zealand as well as internationally recognized producers. They offer warm, personable service and welcome you to join them at their table. Food popular here * Salad,Sorbet, Freeze-dried elements: avocado, cucumber, sweet secrets * Faijoa, cardamom, raspberry, chocolate * Cucumber sorbet and cucumber slices Let’s see how people review this restaurant “I need to give 6 stars seriously. The food is so so good over my expectation. The 2 and half hour lunch ( well organised timing) I had fish, venison, beef and other 2 dishes for 5 course just cost me $65 dollars, unbelievable for the service and quality of the food! I go to good restaurants every year at my birthday for a good meal compared to those Michelin restaurants the cost of a great meal in Auckland is just 1/4. Last time went to Grove was great too a bit more fency but I like Sidart now , it's fantastic. Recommend for a special occasion you won't be disappointed. Love it.” — Pearl L. “I was really excited to finally try Sidart's Tasting Menu. The waitress was great. My partner and I had the 5 course and they gave us different dishes so we could try a bit of everything. The service was impeccable and the food almost as good as the waitress. Can't wait to go there again once their menus have changed.” — Evelyn W. “Phenomenal experience and food. Our server, Katie, was both very knowledgeable and professional. She also went out of her way to ensure our experience was as good as possible. The fixed menu is rotating so there's not much use in going into details on the food -- suffice to say everything was excellent. Would definitely recommend doing at least one wine pairing for the table as it really completes the experience.” — Aaron B. Restaurant Info * https://www.sidart.co.nz/ * +64 9 360 2122 * 283 Ponsonby Rd Ponsonby Auckland 1011 New Zealand 4. Sid At The French Cafe Sid and Chand Sahrawat are the husband and wife team behind Sid at The French Café. They purchased the iconic restaurant in September 2018 from its previous owners with the intention of maintaining the high standards of food and service The French Cafe has become known for. Food popular here * Venison tartare * Deconstructed dessert * Canneloni of crab Let’s see how people review this restaurant “What else is there to say others have not already said? How about this? We were seated at the table right next to the pass and we were able to watch Chef Sid our whole meal. Great service and delicious food, a very pleasant experience all around. Great thing is that we happened upon this restaurant sort of by accident since it's hard to find on Yelp and did not come up in our search initially. Even better was that it was literally two blocks from our Airbnb. We ordered a la carte and were very pleased to be given four different amuse bouches to start. The service was impecable, food delicious and ambiance romantic. Great way to start a special anniversary trip!” — Betty C. “Armed with a very generous gift voucher we arrived at 'Sid at the French Cafe' to be greeted by a group of welcoming staff . Our table was in the gazebo area of the restaurant facing an internal garden court yard warmed by a fire and gas heaters. The waiting staff were amazing their polished appearance matched their attentive polished performance. We chose the four course meal after discussing portion sizes as the aim was to enjoy the food but not to excess. Each course contained the elements of taste , texture , colour freshness and in true Sid-Art style huge visual appeal. Good use was made of the on-site vegetable/ herb garden to enhance the plate. The whole experience was amazing and we could see the care , time and thought that went into every dish. Fine dining at its best. Wine selection was huge and international however we chose NZ, appropriate at this time. A place to go for a very special occasion.” —Sandra H. “I ordered their tasting menu. The snacks  are all good and I like the lettuce the most. The sauce for kingfish ceviche and butter poached crayfish is a little salty. The lamb was perfectly cool, right enough pink, juicy, yummy yummy~~” — Vivian Y. Restaurant Info * https://www.sidatthefrenchcafe.co.nz/ * 09 377 1911 * 210 Symonds St Auckland 1010 New Zealand 5. The Grove The Grove is a modern New Zealand restaurant that offers degustation dining that changes frequently with seasonality and market availability. It offers full vegetarian and vegan options and can accommodate any dietary requirement. It is an award-winning restaurant where food and wine come together passionately. Food popular here * Prawn with chorizo * Fish rubbed with black garlic, sweet corn puree, charred corn, and a clam * Stone fruit dessert course Let’s see how people review this restaurant “Huge kudos to the Grove's groovy team for going above & beyond, especially the kitchen team working hard behind the scenes & Megan(?) the sommelier. They have a great passion in each of respective fields, are knowledgeable & observant without being overbearing or pretentious, particularly when it came to explaining the dishes coming out of the kitchen. A warm ambiance, well balanced & presented dishes & a wine list that will make you feel like a child in a candy store- everything you want. My partner who doesn't like meringue, feijoa or licorice loved her absinthe flamed dessert, assembled at the table. The chef's choice petite degustation was flavoursome, exciting, filling & accompanied by delightful amuse-bouches. Thank you for making us feel extra special on our anniversary weekend, we will definitely return.” — Te Rangi R. “Perfect place to celebrate an occasion with your loved one. The grove is more of an experience rather than a restaurant. We sat at this place for around 3.5 hours mainly due to the way they serve food here and the type of degustation we chose. We went for the the full degustation was which was 7 courses. The courses were small so we didn't feel fed up by the end of it which was good. Between each course you should expect to spend between 5-10 min for the next course which is why I'm saying it's more of an experience here rather than a restaurant. Our favorite dishes were the fish (6th course) and the steak (7th course) plus the soufflé which was one of the three desserts we got. A bit pricey but worth it if you have a special occasion” — Khaled A. “THEIR BEEF FILLET IS THE BEST I'VE EVER HAD! Extremely tender and fresh. The service here is just excellent. We felt the pork belly is of too much fat and they quickly replace it with another off menu dish. Food here makes you feel the nature. They present you with the fundamental taste of each ingredient. Overall a very good experience. Will definitely come again.” — Yubo Z. Restaurant Info * https://thegroverestaurant.co.nz/ * 09 368 4129 * Wyndham St St. Patricks Square Auckland 1010 New Zealand 6.

We popped in for a dessert crepe and a coffee. Service was prompt and very courteous. We had a crepe Mont Blanc with the poached pear and almonds. It was very delicious! I can't say much more since that's all we had but the rest of their menu looked very enticing!!” — Lucie W. “Jetlagged out of our minds we wanted a quiet breakfast/brunch w good coffee-This cute little place hit the spot. Relaxing, well located, pleasant service & one sweet one savory crepe for us. Steady stream of customers but not unpleasantly crowded dinner options on the board looked quite good- would b nice to check out” — Neleh H. “Great authentic French food!! Nice ambiance! Dinner was conveniently located near our hotel at VR Queen Street!” — Belle A. Restaurant Info * http://www.legardemanger.co.nz/ * 09 362 0655 * 466 Queen St Auckland 1010 New Zealand 7. La Tropezienne French Bakery - Browns Bay Food popular here * Chorizo sausage omelette * Religieuse Coffee * Palmier Let’s see how people review this restaurant “simple casual french foods made well. Their sandwiches run out the fastest... Lunchtime and there's only two flavours left. Next would be their desserts and pastries, those babies fly out the door. My favourites so far are the chocolate eclairs and basically all their sandwiches lol... their ficelle are simple ingredients but the bread makes it something else. Their chicken sandwich roll has the yummiest pesto inside and the bread for this was similar to a giant soft pretzel with rock salt on top... made the sandwich THAT much better... pretty much what im saying is, their fresh baked breads/goods are AMAZING. their Baguettes sell out fast so get in quick! That chocolate eclair though.... that chocolaty mousse like texture inside and the glorious puff pastry outside.. wow. i could eat 10 of those... i mean... that's what gym is for, right? Go earlier! like, before 11am to get all the REAL goodies that sell out super fast as these guys are ALWAYS busy no matter what time it is.” — Aimee J. “If you want to treat yourself to a good breakfast and a great coffee, then La Tropezienne French Café is the place to go on a Saturday morning. Don't let the parking lot front scare you off, once you're inside it is pure France. The smell of fresh baking fills the air, and the hot chocolate is almost mesmerizing. The pricing is not cheap, but the quality of the food is good, and after all it will be the atmosphere that will promote you to regular status. My favourite is the éclairs, but there are plenty of other desserts to choose from. What I liked about this place, was that I could bring my dog along, and we could both enjoy the sunshine outside.” — David M. “These days you can buy croissants and french sticks any old where! But it's not until you devour one from a genuine French bakery that you realize how unexceptional they are. La Tropezienne is exactly the place that makes you turn your nose up at run of the mill croissants from your average local bakery. My friends and I call it "The French Bakery" simply because we are too lazy to try and pronounce the name properly. Which is a bit sad as we all took French in high school. My first memory of La Tropezienne is actually back in my French class days. As part of our learning we were to venture to Browns Bay to experience food the way the French do it. We were also supposed to be practicing the language but who cares about that when you get to ditch school for a feed!? Anway, this started my addiction and ever since I have been nurturing my weakness for the delicious (and so fatty) pain au chocolat!! To this day that's about the only french that has stuck with me... PAIN AU CHOCOLAT.. YUM!!” — Amy M.

Food popular here * Beef bourguignon * Madeleine * Duck liver parfait Let’s see how people review this restaurant “The north of Ponsonby eventually creates a decent place to dine. Yes you will attracted by the perfect transformed "Old Ponsonby post office" into a bistro Augustus, named for the postmaster, Augustus Edward Braithwaite. And it won't be too difficult for locals to find out this new venture is a contribution from SPQR Owner Chris and his daughter Courtney Rupe to Ponsonby vividness. Entering the high-ceiling lounge, expecting yourself in a tropical resort, surrounded by greenery with a courtyard extended your dining imagination. Perfect for most of Auckland's beautiful blue sunny days. In between, you will find yourself sitting in a cream and chocolate interior dressed in white linen.  Simple, smart and classy. Menu is focused in French bistro bites, you won't be surprised by meeting escargot, king crab cocktail, crab bisque, French onion soup, steak tartare. As for the main, from fish to pork belly, from Confit duck to veal cordon bleu, what's more you can even get treated by special Beef bourguignon,  beef wellington. Yes what more can you expect? Crab bisque serves warm with  a heap of white flesh in the middle with a hint of basil taste. However, I prefer they have it served in front of customers, just adding a sense of warmness. The duck liver parfait with wine jelly is a bit average and dull, if the toasted bread could be a better quality sourdough or baguette to pair with. Bread is pale speaking of a proper bistro for Augustus. However, this is soon saved by Beef bourguignon, which is perfectly done putting time and efforts in the whole dish. Every bite is enjoyable. Soft tender beef texture, crispy pancetta, juicy shallots, all the ingredients are cooked in a beautiful balance. They nailed this classic dish. Then the yellow belly flounder is comparatively  less scored even with its crab mayonnaise dressing. The rhubarb tarte tatin and creme brulee for dessert is a perfect choice for most people. I do go for a bit old-fashioned, the humble Madeleines with lemon curd and cream. Baked to order, within 7 minutes, it came out freshly to your tastebud. Trust me, you wouldn't find a better lemon curd to match this happy ending. Deserves a second and third visit, for sure, Augustus has more to come in the pipeline.We just wish the summer would never go away.” — Angel D. “Had lunch here and thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere - beautiful old building.

Here are the 9 Best Korean Food Restaurants in Vancouver we recommend! 1. Sura Korean Cuisine SURA is a Korean restaurant in Vancouver that has been providing an excellent dining experience to food connoisseurs since 2008. The restaurant has a modern interior with a traditional Korean atmosphere. The food is authentic and contemporary Korean cuisine by master chef Sang-jo Han. Food popular here * Pork Belly * Set Course Ra * Kimchi Fried Rice Let’s see how people review this restaurant "We stumbled into Sura Korean Cuisine for a Saturday lunch not knowing anything about the restaurant.  A NYC dining experience at JUA turned us on to Korean food, but we had no idea how to order.  Fortunately, the 25 Canadian dollar set lunch took ordering out of the equation, and we told the kind and welcoming servers to bring it on. Holy Gopchang!  This set lunch was amazing.  Dishes kept arriving, and kept arriving, we didn't have enough room on the table.  I was bamboozled, having no idea this was what Sura's set lunch was all about.  We had no clue what was being served, but almost everything was delicious, and I mean orgasmically delicious.  Our favorites: The fried fish, Kimchi pancake, Spicy Sliced Pork, Potato Noodle, Deep Fried Fish, Deep Fried Sweet and Sour Pork, and Soy Bean Paste Soup.  My least favorite was the Pork Belly, but that's my personal taste.   Each server was infinitely patient with my multitude of questions. and I was overly excited about the food.  I had a wonderful time, and I loved the food.  Sura Korean Cuisine was a memorable dining experience."—Phil G. "Love it here. Came up to Vancouver for the day with a couple friends and this was our first stop. We ordered lots of little things, not to mention all the banchan, and our table was very eclectic. Cool decor on the inside and great for groups!"—Bennett S. ''Food was very delicious. Portions are good too, four dishes was just the right amount for five people. The meat was very tender, falls off the bone very easily, slightly sweet. Seafood pancake had the right amount of crunch. Bossam wrap had well seasoned pork belly.'—Pauline S. Restaurant Info * https://www.surakoreancuisine.com/ * (604) 687-7872 * 1518 Robson Street Vancouver, BC V6G 1C3 Canada 2.

Their experiences travelling and working in various continents is reflected in their food, bar, and even on their walls. Food popular here * Rice Bowl * Foie Gras * Korean Rice Cake Let’s see how people review this restaurant "This cute, hip place has my favorite cocktail of anywhere. Try the one eyed samurai and you will be forever changed. So delicious! Every time I visit Vancouver I hit up this place for this drink. It's always an enjoyable time to sit at the bar and sip on this watermelon flavored masterpiece. (And yes, you do have to go through a sketchy area to get there, but it's worth it.)"—Autumn M. "Frightening location. Amazing, fun, creative food that is designed with love and imagination. Here are the pro tips: 1) order the tasting menu 2) on a weeknight 3) at the very start of service (around 5 pm). 4) Sit at the kitchen window booth. We did this and got served by the restaurateur himself. He provided us amazing commentary on each course and it's wine pairing, including the personal stories of the vintners and their wineries. Expect unique, sometimes challenging dishes. That's the fun of it! This is a culinary adventure, not Tim Horton's. Disregard the obtuse, buffoonish negative reviews ( Crystal G.), PiDGiN is the real deal."—Ian K. "Amazing service, delicious cocktails, and incredible food. If you're visiting Vancouver, do yourself a favor: make a reservation here and do the tasting menu. The lamb sirloin was unbelievably good!"—Johnny M.

Food popular here * Spicy Pork Bulgogi * Short Rib Galbi * Beef Bulgogi Let’s see how people review this restaurant "My family and I loved this place so much we came here two nights in a row! We ordered the ox bone soup (both days), seafood pancake, tang suyuk, and the bossam. You get very decent portion sizes (especially the seafood pancake - it's huge and can easily feed 4 people) for the price. Their bossam is seasoned super well and is tender too. I came around 7pm both days and didn't have to wait too long (at most 10 minutes). It is pretty small and cozy inside so if you have a large party, so expect to wait a bit more. I'd definitely come back again, especially for their bossam! They also accept credit card here!"—Liona L. "Their portions are huge! The sundubu has a lot of tofu in their -- very generous! A lot of mushrooms on the vegetable soup as well. It cones with rice. I love their banchan too! When we were there they had the potatoes (in sweet sauce), kimchi, seaweed, and fish cake  they have freeflow barley tea."—Esther Y. "Seriously great place for lunch. Their food is delicious with decent portion size and variety of options on the menu that includes nice soupy options fitting for the cold weather. Covid measures wise, we had to leave our name/number at the front, vaccine passports checked, plastic hanging barriers between tables, QR code scan for menu, and servers masked up. Food wise, I got the Lunch Set Pork Bulgogi - Little Spicy and it was just enough spicy for me!  (I've tried Medium before and it was too much for me.)  The pork had good, strong flavors. The rice cakes was a good contrast on this dish to counter all the spice. I'm craving it again as I write this. As usual, it came with 4 complimentary refillable side dishes that were also delicious. My friend got the Duk Mandu Guk which came in a giant bowl filled with gyozas that she said was good but the beef broth was a bit underseasoned, but maybe intended that way. They have an online menu you can order take out directly from them too and choose your pickup time."—Mandy T.

Pass by them to grab some tacos on your way to the game, or come hang out on their outdoor patio with friends after a concert! Food popular here * Bulgogi Burrito * Spicy Rice Cake * Fried Chicken Let’s see how people review this restaurant "Food- delicious korean Mexican fusion, with variety of options. *Bulgogi burrito- good meal size. Looks small but heavy. Comes with a few chips, though were a tad stale. i would get this again. *3 tacos (shrimp, bulgogi and Kalbi) - prefer Bulgogi, meat soft and tender. Shrimp was lightly fried, slightly a little watery, but overall good,  Kalbi tasted similar to Bulgogi, but the meat was chewier. * rice cakes on the sticks- one soy, and one spicy. I can live without these carbs. If I can handle spicy, I prefer that one, slightly more flavor. Service- fair, nice. Ambiance - handful of seats, inside and outside. Though outside (Early April) was pretty cold and dirty at the time. Locations next to Chinatown train station, directly across from Rogers arena, facing Expo Blvd. Super easy by foot if you're in downtown. Less than a minute walk to Costco, so consider eating here with next Chinatown Costco trip! Value- fair! Recommend- YES!"—Helene L. "New to Korean fusion but I am a big fan of burritos. Tacofino has been a lunch time favorite of mine, but I wanted to try something new. Visited TAKO for the first time today intending to try the Bulgogi Burrito.  I ended up trying BBQ Short Rib Burrito on recommendation of the person serving me. I was very impressed! The BBQ Short Rib Burrito was big on taste and filling. I will definitely be back to try some of their other offerings."—Christian C. "Have seen a few stores that have done the Korean/Mexican fusion idea, but none in Vancouver that execute as well as TAKO. Nestled right by the south western entrance of Stadium Chinatown Skytrain Station, this place is great option for takeout on the way over to a meeting or on the way home. The bulgogi burrito is a nice balance of all the delicious Korean meats in flavours packed into a burrito (everything from kimchi, corn, lettuce, cheese + the meat of your choice). For $12 they are packing a lot into this meal and I was pretty content after one of these burritos I got to-go. Happy hour is 2-5pm from Monday to Friday, so if you're curious, you can try them out between these hours. They need to definitely think about adding kimchi fries for a perfect combo! Overall, great place for takeout due to close proximity to the Skytrain. Can't comment on the indoor dining experience but can say it's very convenient to pack while commuting -- no utensils required!"—Justin K.

Food popular here * Korean Fried Chicken * Lettuce Wrap * Fried Rice Cakes Let’s see how people review this restaurant "Good korean bistro vibe, really big dine in space indoors. The fried chicken was good and comes with fried rice cakes (which was actually my favourite part, more than the chicken!). The only thing missing are the amount of side dishes. They could have served them right at the beginning. But I get the side dishes only comes with the combo sets, which we got the Salisbury steak and pork. The combos also come with rice as well. Overall, not a bad spot for Korean bistro fair. I would go back again."—Bill L. "It was a great night with very delicious food,  warm and friendly staff and good prices.  We ordered 3 dishes. Big portions!   thank you"—Banafshe A. "You can't tell from the outside, but on the inside the place is gigantic. On the immediate left is a smaller more cozy dining area. Further in is a much larger and open dining area perfect for large parties and celebrations. Service was polite but not too efficient. Several times we were trying to flag down our server but had difficulty finding him. The food was tasty! piping hot and full of flavour. We will definitely return here!"—Allison K.

We were promptly seated and our server was polite and diligent. We ordered the combo for two and quickly had a plethora of sides brought to our table. Shortly after the meat was brought out and our server was laying it on the grill. A number of servers watched over us and helped us know when something on the grill was ready and got the next course started. The whole process was efficient. The sides were divers and delicious. The meat was flavourful and perfectly cooked thanks to the help of the wait staff. I definitely will be returning."—Adam S. "Love how they give 15 banchan (side dishes) when you order from their BBQ menu. Enjoyed the variety since most places only offer two or three (plus, they were refillable). We ordered the bbq combo so it came with the banchan and doenjang jjigae. We were beyond stuffed by the end of our meal. Service was also amazing because their staff was very attentive. Highly recommend you make a reservation if you come here because they can get really busy."—Nina T. "Loved it here. Incredible food and service. Our waiter was on top of all our needs (ie. replenishing the side dishes and changing the grill when it was getting too burnt). Price point was great for what you get and my whole family was stuffed and even had leftovers! This place is always busy and has line ups. Definitely the place to go if you're craving Korean BBQ!

Inside is pleasant to look at with all the various plants."—Kelcie Lei A. "Delicious! Nice decor, good service. Spicy dakgalbi was sooo good with mozzarella, served sizzling on a cast iron platter. Mandu gook dumplings were housemade and perfect consistency. Comes with many side plates of condiments. Such a great, flavorful meal."—Tom E. "Yo when they say this is the best place for Korean bbq, they're not lying. Every dish was delicious. We loved the spicy chicken, the gal i ribs (Omg prob my fav dish of the night), the seafood pancake, and the oxtail soup. 5/5 for every dish. No complaints. Just pure deliciousness.

The korean fried chicken wrap was delicious too."—Wilson L. "Before moving to Vancouver, I had heard so much about this place that I honestly wondered if the place can live UpTo the expectations and the buildup - it does and more. Their portions are amazing. I am not a tofu person but their Tofu rice bowl is finger licking good. There is not just rice but also edamame beans, pickled cabbage, greens and corn in it. I had also ordered their friend chicken and even that was delicious and super crispy. I would absolutely recommend checking out this place's tofu rice bowl if you are even in Vancouver"—Neha R. "Oh man! Some of the best karaage I've had in a long tome. Vancouver is well known for its Asian street food and cuisine and this is one of the places to go for just that. If you're looking for an alternative to poke bowls, look no further. Disco cheetah makes bowls fit for a king. This independent small business is run by some younger millennials too. Not sure who the owner is, but these guys made me feel more than welcome when I went in for the first time. Highly recommend."—Matthew I.

"A bit of a wait (you have to scan their QR code to get onto the waitlist) but luckily there's the Candy Room nearby and some benches to pass the time! We were seated about 45 mins after. We ordered the pork belly BBQ and the dakbal. Both were delicious and the portion size was more than enough for 2! The dakbal was spicy but we kept going back for more. The staff were super friendly and didn't seem too frazzled even though the restaurant was insanely busy. Will definitely be back but will be more prepared for the wait."—Tram V. "We went on a Saturday evening and didn't have to wait for a party of 3 people. We order the pork feet and bossam set and the mushroom bulgogi hotpot. The pork feet was pretty spicy since we don't have good spice tolerance but it was really tasty. The bossam was alright, I think I liked the flavor and the texture of the pork feet more since it was softer and more flavorful. The hotpot was my favorite part of the food we ordered. The broth was light but had a lot of flavor. I added some rice into a bowl of broth and it was delicious. The meat and the mushrooms were also pretty good. We definitely got too much for a group of 3 people though so I think this would have been better for a group of four or maybe just get the hotpot for the group of 3 and something else. The price was really good for the amount of food we received. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place if you're craving Korean food."—Alan Z.

8 restaurants to spend your nightlife in Paris

Tu Fais Quoi ce Soir ? 1. L'Avant Comptoir Yves Camdeborde's French pintxo bar L'Avant Comptoir has been open since 2009 and has been described with many superlatives. It has matured over the years, notably becoming more hygienic. The tins of free communal rillettes have disappeared – no tragedy, since they were just odd, whipped concoctions of pork fat anyway. When one reaches for the communal mountain of Bordier butter, one is now handed a plate. Food popular here * Waffle with artichoke and jambon * Grilled shrimps * Foie with cherries Let’s see how people review this restaurant "Fun, low-key wine bar with friendly staff. Plenty of tapas to try. We'll be coming here again."—Michael M.

Dirty Dick Finding its sources in the Pacific Ocean, the Tiki culture settled in the United States in the 1930s and became essential from the 1950s.

Lotte City Hotels Jeju Nearby restaurants * Ollae Guksu * Samdajeong * Jamae Guksu Let’s see how people review this Hotel “Great hotel and nice location with easy access from airport and to restaurants and shopping. Value for money as 2 nights here equates to one night at the 5 stars but yet quality and location were not compromised. Clean rooms and prompt refills of towels, bath room amenities, water etc. Hotel staffs were very helpful and generally conversant in English. Like to highlight one staff by the name of Isaac Kim whom helped us a great dear with the check in process as we had issues with our Agoda booking and had to book an additional room.” — Ong PC “Wonderful facility in the hotel room! We were lucky enough to have a free upgrade for our stay! There is a coin laundry facility in the hotel for around 10000KW for cleaning and drying services. There is a Lotte department store next to the hotel which could be good for some shopping. The hotel is about 15 minutes drive away from the market and Black Pork Street. There is also airport shuttle available from 9am. The hotel reception is located at 6th floor and there is another station at the ground floor to guide all guests. They charge extra 1000KW for organising taxi for guests.” — Jen M “My wife and I enjoyed staying at this hotel. Everyone servicing at this hotel was dedicated for quality service.

The background of the sea seen through the windows cannot be expressed in photos. The access to the airport was so good that I didn't have to worry about moving to the airport. The outdoor pool allows you to swim without a swimming cap, and the water temperature is not too low, so it is perfect for night swimming. Other aspects are the same as the strengths of a 5-star hotel.” — lonathe “This is the first family holiday after a prolonged hiatus due to the pandemic. I am glad that i chose Grand Hyatt Jeju. My family of 6 including a Grandma and a child had the most stress-free vacation starting from a smooth check-in. The rooms are modern, spacious and clean. Staff at the Grand Club are friendly and helpful. The weekend just went too fast. I would go back to Jeju just because of the Grand Hyatt and will plan for a longer holiday next time.” — Connector46182244457 “Wonderful hotel with top notch service. My only complaint is with the restaurant China House. Made a reservation early in the morning. Looked forward to Peking Duck for dinner all day long. When placing order waitress asked if we pre-ordered. Nowhere on the website did it mention a pre-order for Peking Duck. Waitress asked chef if he could prepare one for us. He basically dismissed us. We chose another set menu only to notice at the end of dinner a cooked duck hanging in the window.

But most menus are in either Korean or Chinese. Two large grocery stores nearby. Rooms are large, clean. Housekeeping is friendly and responsive. I would stay again.” — DragonR888 “A nice and comfortable hotel, very clean and with beautiful sea view. Breakfast was good with varieties. It is also nearby a giant supermarket where you get everything under one roof. Awesome! Only setback, bathroom is very small and no floor mat.” — Linda Y “I spent 4 nights in ocean suites with my friend. Hotel staff is nice and could speak English and mandarin. They are willing to help. Hotel facilities are sufficient. The conditioner and the hair dryer is really good. Hair is smooth after using. Yet, the bathroom glass door could not be closed properly and water would come out and make the floor wet.. should improve on this area.

Amber Resort Jeju Nearby restaurants * Sunny Garden * Gold Handmade Garak * Donsadon Nearby attractions * Halla Arboretum * Hallasan National Park * Mysterious Road (Dokkaebi Road) Let’s see how people review this Hotel “A hidden treasure. Tucked up the hill in a corner of Jeju, this is a fine, quiet resort to relax in. A 20min drive from city centre, 30min drive from airport, Amber resort has beautiful villas and equally charming surroundings (the pictures say it all). Once we checked in (at 8pm+), the floors of the villa were already warmed up to welcome us in the cold night. The rooms were clean, well kept and looked new. Parquet flooring in the living room, warm stone flooring in the bedrooms. There were two bedrooms: one master bedroom with a queen size bed, en suite bathroom (standing bath); one guest room with matteress and blankets to sleep on the floor -- feeling of traditional Korean sleeping style. Fits our small group of 5 adults and 1 toddler nicely. Bedding is comfortable - firm matteress and soft fluffy pillows. Bathrooms are clean and new too. The toilet bowl is the most techy one that i have ever used in a hotel - toilet seat warmer, full controls bidet with blow function, auto-flush etc. The second bathroom outside is similarly equipped. TV in master bedroom. Living room and kitchenette come with standard cooking facilities, though we didn't really use them. There was an automatic espresso machine but they did not manage to top up the coffee beans (only left enough to make one cup) on request..(did not pursue as we were rushing to go out). Nice small balcony looking out to the ranch nearby. Car porch good for parking of 2 cars. Breakfast is simple and decent. Definitely not the 4-5 star hotel kinda spread, but certainly good enough for a filling and satisfying brekkie. Coffee at breakfast is somewhat not as good as the one made with espresso machine in own villa (so we should have repeated the request for beans should we have time). The surroundings of the villa is relaxing and beautiful. Surrounded by mountains and a horse ranch. Big open spaces for my 2.5 year old boy to run around. There is a fully equipped caravan at the corner of the field - seems like it is available for booking for a real stay. Overall splendid experience. Wish we had more time in Jeju. Not a 5/5 star review because - breakfast could be better; would be awesome to have a kids playground at a corner of their huge open place; only accessible with own transport; quite several black crows around.. What we love- the clean and new rooms and the techy fittings; the beautiful open space; the serene surroundings; value for money!” — ckwee13 “The location of the hotel is in the middle of Halla Mountain, the environment is very good, it is very quiet and the scenery is beautiful. The service attitude of the staff is very good, very enthusiastic and attentive, and most of them are Chinese, it doesn't matter if they don't know Korean, and there is no problem with Chinese communication! There is a kitchen in the room, you can make your own meals or order meals, which is very convenient. Hotel breakfast is also very good! Although the hotel transportation is not very convenient, it is only a 15-minute drive from the city, you can take a taxi, and the hotel also has a car to pick up and drop off. Overall it was a great stay experience! ! !” —A Tripadvisor Member “I came to hang out with my friends and the view is so pretty🤘🤘 What if I couldn't go up because it snowed so hard, but I came up without much trouble hehe The room is big, clean and well rested. I'll come back with my family next time!!!

The bathroom was large and the shower was clean and worked well. The air conditioning unit was a miracle during the heat wave. The little nation from the room had a nice view and you can hang your clothes if you have wash them. The only thing is that the heat makes the smell of the local farms fertilizer very noticeable. As soon as you walk out or open the patio door, the smell hits you in the face. Overall great experience!” — Mehi1207 “It was my son's friend's birthday, so it was a place where several families gathered and slept together. The main character's birthday family rented a pool villa with a swimming pool, and I rented the most common room. Due to the large swimming pool, the interior was a bit small compared to the size of the pool villa, but it was large enough for several families. It seems that they had a lot of fun while having a barbecue party outdoors, as there was a large table laid out. It's not a very conspicuous place because it's inside from a slightly main road, but there was no difficulty in accessing it by car. There is a convenience store on the first floor and entertainment facilities in the basement, so it was not inconvenient to spend time with family and friends. I woke up late and didn't eat breakfast the next day, but breakfast is also provided, so I think I will be able to stay comfortably even if I come next time. The front staff are also friendly. Check-in and check-out were both convenient.” — 환석 박 “It was clean and tidy. I think it would be good to use it for a family trip. The food is good and the staff are very friendly. The view was so good that I could see both Hallasan Mountain and Gwakji Beach. It was especially nice to be able to feel the scent of Jeju on the way to the entrance of the resort.” — 정배 Restaurant Info * https://ecogreenresort.com/ * +82 64-796-8333 * Hallim-eup, Jeju-si, Jeju-do, Republic of Korea 94 Gwideog6-Gil, Jeju, Jeju Island 63024 South Korea 8.

The hotel was full of couples.” — jimmy t “The inside of the room is neat. Ocean View Room has the best view to enjoy the atmosphere with a cup of coffee.Good to take a walk on the beach. It also has a swimming pool for children to play, so it is suitable for a family trip. No disposable toothbrushes and razors are provided at all lodgings in Jeju Island. This place does not offer an inroom dining service. Room lights and air conditioners are only adjustable on the wall of the entrance of the room, making our uncomfortable.” — Yeonho S “We spent 4 nights at Tamna Stay. The Hotel built in the last couple of years or so is a comfortable, clean and modern tourist class hotel. Our room was reasonably sized and overlooking the seafront which made it quite pleasant - would recommend getting a sea facing room. Missing the small touches such as daily replenishment of toiletries, tea/coffee (tho' understand this is not uncommon in Korea). A good location for striking out for the Shore Road and only 20-25mins from Jeju-si. However a car is a must. Front desk staff were always very friendly and helpful - their reasonable English and our smattering of Korean meant communication was never a problem.” — Denis_J_Mal Restaurant Info * https://tamnastayjeju.southkrhotel.com/ * +82 64-755-7945 * 881, Aewolhaean-ro, Aewol-eup, Jeju, Jeju Island 63050 South Korea You may also be interested in: Cuddle the Canola Flowers Closer 💛: Jeju IslandLooking for a place to travel that has everything you could want?

The Most Unanticipated Museums and Galleries on Google Arts & Culture

Expecting for extensive collection of artworks, antiquities? Looking for a wide range of periods and cultures' artefacts? Sorry they don't have it, but they will surprise you in another way. 1. Louis Vuitton Foundation The Louis Vuitton Foundation is an art museum and cultural center sponsored by the group LVMH and its subsidiaries. It is run as a legally separate, nonprofit entity as part of LVMH's promotion of art and culture. The building was designed by the architect Frank Gehry, and is adjacent to the Jardin d'Acclimatation in the Bois de Boulogne of the 16th arrondissement of Paris, bordering on Neuilly-sur-Seine. The Fondation is committed to making art and culture accessible to all. To promote the arts both nationally and internationally, it hosts temporary exhibitions of modern and contemporary art, presents works held in its collection, commissions artists to create site-specific pieces, and stages events across the cultural spectrum (concerts, performances, conferences, film screenings, dance and more). 2.

The brand expanded in the 1980s and early 1990s with fragrances for both men and women, having launched its cosmetic line in 1978. However, by 1992, the company's profits were declining and the company's share price had fallen. In 1993, the Saint Laurent fashion house was sold to the pharmaceuticals company Sanofi. Yves Henri Donat Mathieu-Saint-Laurent was a French fashion designer who, in 1961, founded his eponymous fashion label. He is regarded as being among the foremost fashion designers of the twentieth century. Yves Saint Laurent can be credited with both spurring the couture's rise from its 1960s ashes and with finally rendering ready-to-wear reputable." He also developed his style to accommodate the changes in fashion during that period. 3. NASA NASA was established in 1958 as a distinctly civilian orientation to space development, succeeding the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. The agency is responsible for most American space exploration efforts, including the Apollo Moon landing missions, the Skylab space station, and later the Space Shuttle.

The team has been observing, analyzing and recording the young people in Shibuya, Harajuku and Shinjuku since August 1980, amassing a street fashion database that is the one and only of its kind in Japan. 5.

The Oldest Museums around the World

The Oldest Museums around the World

Museums have been around for a very long time, but when did it first appear? The oldest museum in the world is thought to be the Museion in Alexandria, Egypt, which was founded in the 3rd century BC. The Museion was a place where scholars came to study and learn about art, science, and literature. But some believes the world's oldest museum, Ennigaldi-Nanna's museum, was built by a Babylonian princess 2,500 years ago which discovered by the curious archaeologist Leonard Woolley in 1952. Human's past is always unanswerable question no matter what, so let's stop the tanglement with the first museum, but look at some of the oldest museums around the world. The Capitoline Museums began in 1471 in Rome, Italy; the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy, which was founded in the 16th century; the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, which started to operate in the 17th century, these museums are still open to the public and are very popular tourist destinations. 1. Ashmolean Museum The Ashmolean Museum, located in Oxford, England first opened to the public in 1683, making it the oldest public museum in the world. Today, the Ashmolean houses an extensive collection of artefacts from around the world, spanning a wide range of periods and cultures. The museum is particularly well-known for its Egyptian, Classical, and Western art collections.The Ashmolean Museum is named after its founder, Elias Ashmole, who bequeathed his personal collection of artefacts to the University of Oxford in 1677. Ashmole was a keen collector of antiquities and his collection included items from all over the world. The museum is now housed in a stunning neo-classical building, which overlooks Oxford's famous High Street. The museum's collections are displayed across nine galleries, which tell the story of human culture from its earliest beginnings to the present day. 2.  Capitoline Museums The Capitoline Museums are a group of art and archeological museums located on Capitoline Hill, the most important of the seven hills of Rome. The museums first opened to the public in 1734 and today they are considered to be among the finest museums in the world. The museums are home to an impressive collection of Roman and Greek art, as well as a wealth of artifacts from other cultures. The Capitoline Museums are housed in a complex of buildings that includes the Palazzo dei Conservatori, the Palazzo Nuovo, and the Palazzo Senatorio. The Palazzo dei Conservatori is the oldest building in the complex and it houses the museums' main art collection. The Palazzo Nuovo is home to the museums' classical sculpture collection, while the Palazzo Senatorio houses the museums' archaeological collection. In addition to the museums' permanent collections, the Capitoline Museums also host a number of temporary exhibitions throughout the year. These exhibitions showcase the work of both contemporary and historical artists and provide visitors with a chance to see some of the world's most important works of art up close. 3. Vatican Museums The Vatican Museums is a group of museums in Rome that date back to 1471 which located within the city's boundaries. They display works from the immense collection built up by the Roman Catholic Church throughout the centuries, including some of the most renowned classical sculptures and masterpieces of Renaissance art in the world. The museums trace their origin to a group of sculptures, including the Laocoön and His Sons, discovered in 1506 near the site of St. Peter's Basilica. Pope Julius II soon ordered the erection of a museum to house these treasures. The first six rooms of the museum were opened to the public in 1784 and the museum currently has a wide variety of archaeological material on display. 4. Uffizi Galleries The Uffizi Galleries are one of the oldest and most famous art museums in the world. Located in Florence, they are also home to a large collection of art from the Italian Renaissance. The Uffizi Galleries were founded in 1581 by Cosimo I de' Medici, the first Grand Duke of Tuscany. They were originally built to house the offices of the Florentine magistrates (uffizi means "offices" in Italian). Over time, the Medici family expanded the Uffizi's collection of art with works by Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Botticelli. 5. Kunstkamera The Kunstkamera is the first museum in Russia that was established by Peter the Great in 1727. It is located on the Universitetskaya Embankment in Saint Petersburg and houses the Peter the Great Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography. The Kunstkamera was established in order to study the natural and human world. It contains a wide variety of items, including human remains, animals, plants, minerals, and ethnographic objects. The museum is a unique cultural institution that provides insight into the history and development of Russia. 6. Brukenthal National Museum The Brukenthal National Museum  is located in a historic building in the old city centre of Sibiu, Romania. It was established in 1817 by Samuel von Brukenthal, the Governor of the Transylvanian Principality. It is the oldest museum in Romania and one of the first museums in Europe.

It should be Pronounced as "WAH-HAH-KAH" ! 💀: Oaxaca, Mexico

Travel Advisory: COVID-19 : Important notice for traveler Read more ¡Qué bella es Cholula y para muestra el Santuario de la Virgen de los Remedios 💫! Esta iglesia, todo un tesoro arquitectónico, es considerada la más grande de este Pueblo Mágico, ¿lo sabías?#VisitMéxico #Cholula #Puebla pic.twitter.com/n9guCwQjnm — Visit México (@VisitMex) August 15, 2022 Oaxaca(wah-hah-kah) is a state in Mexico that is home to a rich culture, art scene, diverse natural landscape, and delicious cuisine. The state capital, Oaxaca city, is a beautiful and fascinating place, and there are many interesting things to see and do in the surrounding area. From hiking and horseback riding in the Sierra Norte to surfing and swimming in the Pacific Ocean, there is always something suits you well in Oaxaca. But first, start your day archaeologically! 1. Monte Albán Ruins The ancient city of Monte Albán was once the second-largest ceremonial site in Mesoamerica. Today, it is an ruins, but it still boasts an impressive Gran Plaza, ancient ball court, excavated tombs, and astronomical 'observatory'. The site is also home to the mysterious danzantes, carved stone figures thought to depict dead or tortured prisoners of war. 2. Zona Arqueológica de Mitla The ancient ruins of Mitla were once the second-most important Zapotec religious center. The site is home to a number of impressive buildings, including a cult center where high priests performed human sacrifices. The ancient buildings at the site of Mitla were probably reserved for specific occupants, such as the high priest or the king. Today, visitors can see the Grupo de las Columnas (Group of the Columns) and the Grupo del Norte (North Group), both of which are located near the Iglesia de San Pablo. 3. Museo de las Culturas de Oaxaca No more archaeological sites visit! But still curious about the culture of Oaxaca? The Museum of Oaxacan Cultures is one of Mexico's best regional museums. Located in the beautiful monastery buildings adjoining the Templo de Santo Domingo, the museum offers rich displays that take visitors through the history and cultures of Oaxaca state. The museum emphasizes the continuity between pre-Hispanic and contemporary cultures in areas such as crafts, medicine and food. 4. Templo de Santo Domingo Santo Domingo is the most splendid of Oaxaca’s churches, with a finely carved baroque facade and nearly every square centimeter inside decorated in 3D relief with intricate gilt designs swirling around a profusion of painted figures. The 18th-century Capilla de la Virgen del Rosario (Rosary Chapel) is particularly beautiful, and the whole church takes on a magical atmosphere during candlelit evening Mass.

The Nation That Comes Out from Postcard 🏰: Ireland

Travel Advisory: COVID-19 : Important notice for traveler Read more Lough Derg ponderings... 📍Lough Derg, County Clare 📸 https://t.co/p0jG92cqN1 pic.twitter.com/WwXiV20oPn — Tourism Ireland (@TourismIreland) August 15, 2022 They say Ireland is a stunner, and it's breathtakingly true! The locals will always argue over which county has the most beautiful scenery, but you can't go wrong if you put the brooding loneliness of Connemara, the dramatic wildness of Donegal, the majestic mountains of Mourne, the world-famous scenery of counties Kerry and Cork, and the celebrated Causeway Coast in Northern Ireland on your to-visit list. The small island is right here waiting: 1. Connemara National Park To the southeast of Letterfrack lies Connemara National Park, a 2000-hectare expanse of bog, mountains, heath, and woodlands. The park contains several of the Twelve Bens, including Bencullagh, Benbrack, and Benbaun. Its centerpiece is Gleann Mór (Big Glen), through which the River Polladirk flows. There are excellent hiking opportunities in the glen and on the surrounding mountains, as well as shorter self-guided walks. 2. Cork City Gaol This prison is an imposing former prison that is worth a visit to get a sense of how awful life was for prisoners a century ago. The tour is very moving, bringing home the harshness of the 19th-century penal system. The most common crime was that of poverty; many of the inmates were sentenced to hard labour for stealing loaves of bread. The prison closed in 1923, reopening in 1927 as a radio station that operated until the 1950s. The on-site Governor's House has been converted into a Radio Museum where, alongside collections of beautiful old radios, you can hear the story of radio pioneer Guglielmo Marconi's conquest of the airwaves. 3. Kells Bay House & Gardens This estate was opened in 1837 as a hunting lodge. It spans over 17 hectares and incorporates a waterfall, beach, and six different gardens that range from palms to a primeval fern forest with dinosaurs carved from fallen trees. 4. Old Library & Book of Kells The Old Library at Trinity College is home to some of the most treasured books and artifacts in Dublin. The centerpiece is the Book of Kells, a beautiful illuminated manuscript of the four Gospels of the New Testament. Unfortunately, only a few pages are on display at any given time, so visitors may only get a quick glimpse of this amazing book. However, they can spend more time in the Long Room, which houses over 200,000 of the library's oldest and rarest volumes. Other displays in the Old Library include a copy of the Proclamation of the Irish Republic, read by Pádraig Pearse at the beginning of the Easter Rising in 1916, as well as the Trinity College Harp, the oldest medieval harp in Ireland and the model for the Guinness logo and the flag of the Irish president. 5. Guinness Storehouse The most popular attraction in Dublin is the Guinness Storehouse, a seven-storey museum devoted to the beer, the company’s history, how the beer is made, and how it became the brand it is today. The top floor Gravity Bar is an atrium bar, where you can test your pouring power and drink a pint. Just below it is an excellent restaurant for lunch. 6. Kilmainham Gaol You absolutely must visit Kilmainham Gaol, former prison, if you desire to understand Irish history, especially the long-running resistance to British colonial rule. The former prison in Ireland that is now a museum. The museum has an enthralling exhibit on the history of Irish nationalism. The tour of the prison takes about 90 minutes and finishes in the yard where the leaders of the failed 1916 Easter Rising were executed. 7. Dublin Castle Dublin Castle has been a central part of Irish history for 700 years, playing both positive and negative roles. The castle complex now houses the Irish government and various functions are held there. A guided tour is the only way to see the best parts of the castle, including the State Apartments, St. Patrick's Hall, and the medieval undercroft. The castle grounds also display a variety of architectural styles from different centuries. 8. Monasterboice In the eery atmosphere due to the crowing ravens, the Monasterboice monastic site contains a cemetery, two ancient church ruins, one of the finest and tallest round towers in Ireland, and two of the most important high crosses. The Monasterboice monastic site was founded in the 5th or 6th century by St. Buithe. The site probably had pre-Christian significance. The river is named after St. Buithe. An invading Viking force took over the settlement in 968, only to be expelled by Donal, the Irish high king of Tara. 9. Rock of Cashel The Rock of Cashel is a historic site containing a round tower, a 13th-century Gothic cathedral, and the finest 12th-century Romanesque chapel in Ireland. The chapel is home to some of the land's oldest frescoes. The highlight of the Rock is the early-12th-century Cormac's Chapel, an exquisite Romanesque chapel with beautifully carved doorways and the precious remains of colourful wall paintings. 10. Newgrange Newgrange is a remarkable prehistoric site in Europe, famous for the illumination of its passage and tomb during the winter solstice sun. Newgrange, together with Dowth and Knowth, are the three main Megalithic passage tombs that make up the Brú na Bóinne Unesco World Heritage site.

Sydneysiders Why? 🛥: Sydney

Travel Advisory: COVID-19 : Important notice for traveler Read more Read Essentials this week for an update on the inaugural Global Australia Summit, the Singapore border reopening and upcoming Sydney industry briefing: https://t.co/7UTn0r4oqT. pic.twitter.com/PpELnLqhso — Tourism Australia (@TourismAus) November 17, 2021 Sydney is a renowned tourist destination for a plethora of reasons: its natural beauty, its bustling city life, and its many iconic landmarks, such as its picturesque harbour, its world-famous Opera House, and its stunning beaches. Sydney is a unique city because of its national parks that ring the city and penetrate right into its heart. This means that you can see native animals in the most surprising places. For example, clouds of flying foxes pass overhead at twilight, possums rattle over roofs of terrace houses, and sulphur-crested cockatoos screech from the railings of urban balconies. 1. Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park The park is located 20 to 30km from the city center of Sydney and is accessible by public transport. Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park is a popular place to visit for its wilderness, its Aboriginal heritage, as well as activities such as walking, cycling, and kayaking. The park takes in over 100km of coastline along the southern edge of Broken Bay, where it heads into the Hawkesbury River. There are two unconnected principal sections, Bobbin Head and the West Head area. The Barrenjoey headland at Palm Beach is also part of the park and the site of an historic lighthouse. Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park provides activities of many kinds, so why not include the spot into your family travel list? 2. Taronga Zoo Sydney Taronga Zoo is only a ferry ride away from Circular Quay and is full of kangaroos, koalas, and other furry Australians! The zoo has great views of the harbor, and the animals seem very happy and well-cared for. 3. Sydney Sea Life Aquarium The Sea Life Sydney Aquarium is a great place for kids of all ages. The variety of tanks and other attractions will keep them entertained for hours. The highlights of the aquarium include the Perspex-enclosed walk-through shark tank, The penguin boat ride, the dugong, and the Great Barrier Reef tank. The aquarium also offers a variety of add-on activities, such as the Shark Dive Xtreme, the icy penguin encounter, and the glass-bottomed boat ride. The city is actually defined by its coastline, with an abundance of charms to be found in its harbor. Sydney's two halves are far enough apart to make exploring by ferry a worthwhile endeavor. The coast of Australia is full of natural wonders, including sheer walls of sandstone and arcs of golden sand. In the summer, these areas are full of people enjoying the outdoors. 4. Bondi Beach Bondi is undeniable one of the best destinations for its beautiful coastline and waves. It is also home to saltwater sea baths, which were upgraded in 2019. The beach has surfers at either end, making it a great place for learners. There is a grassy spot with coin-operated barbecues at the north end of the beach. Changing rooms and lockers can be found at Bondi Pavilion. Another highlight of Bondi, is that LGBTQIA+ community can enjoy their activities safe and sound here. The North Bondi Surf Club, near an outdoor workout are, is one of the main hangouts for queer beach-going Sydneysiders. 5. Watsons Bay Lovely Watsons Bay is a preferct destination for the Sydney visitor that looking for a day trip by ferry. The village was once a small fishing village, as evidenced by the heritage cottages that pepper the suburb’s narrow streets. South Head can be explored by foot, and visitors can take a dip at Camp Cove or enjoy a leisurely lunch at one of the village's popular restaurants. The Gap is a dramatic clifftop lookout worth a visit. And well, deeply in your heart you know that you're not a good Sydney visitor if you missed out the attractions below. 6. Sydney Opera House The Australia's most famous landmark is designed by Danish architect Jørn Utzon. The building, which references a yacht's sails in its design, comprises five performance spaces for dance, concerts, opera and theatre. Visitors can wander around the outside of the building and take a one-hour guided tour (available in several languages), with optional food. The best way to experience the interior of the Sydney Opera House is to attend a performance. 7. Sydney Harbour Bridge Sydneysiders love their giant 'coathanger', which opened in 1932. The best way to experience this majestic structure is on foot. Stairs and lifts ascend the bridge from both shores, leading to a footpath on the eastern side (the western side is a bike path). Getting the train to Milsons Point and walking back towards the city offers the more spectacular views. Climb the southeastern pylon to the Pylon Lookout or tackle the arc on the popular if expensive, once-in-a-lifetime kind of experience, the BridgeClimb. A city without nightlife, can't be labeled as a city. After a day at the beach, they may take a disco nap, hit the showers, and head out again. There's always a new restaurant to try, undercover bar to hunt down, hip band to check out, sports team to shout at, show to see or crazy party to attend. The city's pretensions to glamour are well balanced by a casualness that means a cool T-shirt and a tidy pair of jeans will get you in most places. But if you want to dress up and show off, there's plenty of opportunity for that among the sparkling harbour lights. 8. Archie Rose Distilling Co. Why can't a distillery which known for its excellent gins be a bar as well? Archie Rose Distilling Co. is totally the industrial chic, the mezzanine is a great spot to sit and observe the action. You can try different gins in a flight, or pick your perfect G&T combination or cocktail. They also have some decent wine and beer. 9. Love, Tilly Devine The Tilly Devine bar is a hidden, split-level bar in a back alley in Sydney. It has a dark, good-looking interior and a compact wine list with some exceptionally well-chosen wines. Italian deli bites and fuller plates are also available. 10. Opera Bar This bar is perfectly positioned with the Opera House on one side and the bridge on the other. It's an iconic spot for visitors and locals alike with live music or DJs most nights and excellent food. The staff geolocate you to know where to bring the food to, and there's an app to order from your table. Sydneysiders celebrate Sydney everyday, let's join them and have a leisure vacation!

Was mich nicht umbringt, macht mich stärker 🦾: Berlin

Was mich nicht umbringt, macht mich stärker 🦾: Berlin

Travel Advisory: COVID-19 : Important notice for traveler Read more Bremen’s market square is a real gem in the heart of the city. Together with the town hall, the Roland Statue has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2004. The town hall is the only one in the world to be listed as a cultural monument by UNESCO, a fact the locals are proud of pic.twitter.com/1cmzDkpoHz — GermanyTourism (@GermanyTourism) August 11, 2022 Berlin is a city with a long and rich history dating back to the 13th century. It has been a major European city for centuries, and its culture and architecture reflect that. Today, Berlin is a major cultural center, with dozens of museums, theaters, and other cultural institutions. It is also a major foodie city, with a wide variety of international cuisine available. And of course, Berlin is also well-known for its nightlife, with a huge variety of clubs and bars to choose from. Whether you're interested in history, culture, food, or just a good time, Berlin has something to offer you: 1. Fernsehturm The TV Tower is Germany's tallest structure and it offers amazing views of the city from the observation deck and the Sphere restaurant. The tower is a bit of a laughing stock because, when hit by the sun, the steel sphere below the antenna produces the reflection of a giant cross. West Berliners have dubbed this phenomenon ‘the Pope’s revenge’. 2. Sony Center Sony Center is a visually stunning complex designed by Helmut Jahn. It is fronted by a 26-floor glass-and-steel tower and integrates rare relics from the prewar era of Potsdamer Platz, such as the opulent Kaisersaal. The heart of the Sony Center is a central plaza canopied by a tentlike glass roof with supporting beams radiating like bicycle spokes. The plaza and its many cafes are popular places to hang out and people-watch. 3. East Side Gallery The East Side Gallery is the embodiment of Berlin’s grit and guts. It’s a symbol of hope, creativity and resilience – for Berliners, but also the rest of the world.In 1989, the Berlin Wall, a grey and grisly divider of humanity, was finally torn down after 28 years. Today its longest surviving stretch forms the world’s largest permanent open-air art gallery, known as the East Side Gallery.The nearly mile-long (1.3 km) section of wall, located along the Spree river and Mühlenstrasse, showcases more than 100 murals. Dozens of international artists have translated the Cold War era’s global euphoria and optimism into a mix of political statements, psychedelic-induced musings and manifold artistic visions. These days, you’ll often see the  covered in groups of shutterbugs – the city estimates over three million visitors come here annually – as well as ample, unsightly fences warding off vandalism. Despite such a touristy backdrop, just ask your average Berliner – there will always be a kind of magic about the East Side Gallery. 4. Stasi Prison The Gedenkstätte Berlin-Hohenschönhausen is a memorial site dedicated to the victims of Stasi persecution. Tours of the site, led by former inmates, provide visitors with an understanding of the terror and cruelty that was inflicted upon thousands of suspected opponents of the regime. The permanent exhibit at the site uses photographs, objects, and an audioguide to document daily life in the prison. 5. Brandenburger Tor The Brandenburg Gate is a symbol of German reunification. It was designed by Carl Gotthard Langhans and completed in 1791 as the royal city gate. It stands sentinel over Pariser Platz, a harmoniously proportioned square that was once framed by banks, a hotel, and the US, British, and French embassies. 6. Schloss Charlottenburg - Neuer Flügel The most beautiful rooms in the palace are the flamboyant private chambers of Frederick the Great, designed in 1746 by the period's star architect Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff. Standouts include the confection-like White Hall banquet room, the mirrored and gilded Golden Gallery and the paintings by Watteau, Pesne and other 18th-century French masters. Also note the apartment of Luise (1776–1810; a popular queen and wife of King Friedrich Wilhelm III), with its stunning bedroom designed by Karl Friedrich Schinkel. Berlin once was a city  of creativity and experimentation. In the last 20 years, it has become a major center for start-ups and new ideas. Today, Berlin is home to a wide variety of international performers, artists, and filmmakers. Whether you're interested in highbrow or lowbrow culture, there's plenty of rooms for your creativity and imagination. 7. Museumsinsel Museumsinsel is a one-of-a-kind collection of five grand museums capturing diverse cultures and historical periods through rare artifacts. It is situated on the northern half of Spreeinsel, a small island in the River Spree, where Berlin's settlement began in the 13th century. The five buildings that make up Museumsinsel were constructed under Prussian rulers and span 6000 years’ worth of art, artifacts, sculpture and architecture from Europe and beyond. In addition, Museumsinsel is also home to the lovely Lustgarten park and Berliner Dom, so let's not miss them out. 8.

Key exhibits include an excavated reconstruction of the radiant-blue Ishtar Gate from Babylon, which more than 2600 years ago served as the ancient city’s Processional Way.

Cuddle the Canola Flowers Closer 💛: Jeju Island

Travel Advisory: COVID-19 : Important notice for traveler Read more Travel around Jeju with #StrayKids!😃 Check out the attractions shown in SKZ CODE video!😄 Where do you want to visit first?!😆 💠 Stray Kids Page: https://t.co/3B0zwhzr1K pic.twitter.com/yx9qWNWbpy — VisitKorea (@KoreanTravel) August 12, 2022 Looking for a place to travel that has everything you could want? Then it shouold be the largest island in Korea, Jeju-do(제주도)! You can hike up South Korea's highest mountain, Halla-san, or climb the incredible tuff cone Seongsan Ilchul-bong. For a less-demanding nature experience, meander along one of the Jeju Olle Trails and explore tangerine-trimmed country roads, jagged coasts and narrow lanes dotted with cottage-style homes made from black lava rock. And of course, since the ocean is never far away, you can always plunge into the blue seas to view coral and dig into Jeju-do's unique cuisine, including seafood caught by haeneyo (female free divers)! You'll never want to miss: 1. Seongsan Ilchul-bong Seongsan Ilchul-bong, also known as "Sunrise Peak", is a Unesco World Heritage site and one of the most popular tourist destinations on Jeju-do. The 182m-high, extinct tuff volcano is shaped like a giant punchbowl, with a forested crater that is ringed by jagged rocks. To do the sunrise expedition, you'll have to spend the night in Seongsan-ri, a sleepy village filled with motels and restaurants catering to the hiking crowd. Not an early riser? It's also a popular daytime hike! 2. Jeju Folk Village The Jeju Folk Village is a must-see for anyone interested in Jeju's culture and history! The park is filled with traditional buildings from across the island, some reconstructions and some hundreds of years old. You can watch craftsmen at work, buy their products, enjoy traditional song and dance performances, and even visit an ostrich farm! The Jeju Folk Village is an educational and enjoyable experience for the whole family. And now, it's time for authentic food! 3.Yetnal Patjuk Other than having Jeju cuisine in the traditional building, you'll be greeted by warm smiles and the sweet earthy aroma of red beans as soon as you walk in the door if  you choose to enjoy your meal in Yetnal Patjuk. The wooden tables, exposed beams, and heavy earthenware add to the rustic charm. And you can't go wrong with any of the soups and porridge on the menu, including some made from lotus flowers, pumpkin, and seaweed. 4. Jeju Loveland Wandering in theme park is one of the best activities after heavy meal. Jeju Loveland is a sculpture theme park based on sensuality and eroticism. It was the first such museum in Korea when it opened in November 2004. Twenty artists, mainly graduates of top art school Hongik University, participated in the work. 5. Jeju Museum of Art The gallery next to Jeju Loveland is an excellent place to view interesting permanent and temporary exhibits of contemporary visual art. The beautifully designed building appears to float on a pool of water, making it a truly unique experience. Maybe it's time to take a break for dinner. 6. Haejin Seafood Restaurant Haejin is one of the most popular places to try Jeju-do's seafood specialities, such as cuttlefish, eel, squid, octopus, sea cucumber, and abalone. The restaurant has a great view of the harbour, making it the perfect place to enjoy a meal! Not ready for fresh seafood yet? No worries, Jeju island is well prepared! You can also find vegan restaurant! 7. Dasoni Don't look away from Dasoni if you're looking for a delicious and vegan-friendly meal! The rustic wooden tables and wild garden make for a perfect setting, and the dishes use local Jeju produce, such as sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaves or acorn jelly. The lunch photo menu has ample interesting banchan, such as green chive pajeon. Just mention if you don't eat fish as it's used in a couple dishes. 8. Dongmun Market Jeju Dongmun Traditional Market, the largest and oldest permanent market on the island, is also a popular destination for fresh seafood and inexpensive prices. The market was established after the liberation in 1945, but was moved to its current location after a large fire in 1954. The market is not just great place to peek at the local seafood for sale, you can also have the seafood cooked up on the spot at small restaurants. It's also a good place to stock up on gamgyul, Jeju's traditional citrus fruit, or to snack on mandu (dumplings), hotteok, odeng and black pork cabbage rolls. 9. Glass House Glass House is a world-class architect designed by Tadao Ando. The place is high-end restaurants, terrace, and observation deck.

City of Lights, Are You Shining Just for Me? 🌟: Morocco

City of Lights, Are You Shining Just for Me? 🌟: Morocco

Travel Advisory: COVID-19 : Important notice for traveler Read more It's impossible to have a frown on your face when walking down this rainbow road in #Fez. 🌈 The smiles here are contagious. 📷 by @virgosalvatori (Instagram account) #visitmorocco #morocco pic.twitter.com/iv5Vz1al6c — Visit Morocco (@Visit_Morocco_) August 12, 2022 As your plane begins its descent into Morocco, you can't help but feel excitement. This North African country, also a country of many contrasts, is full of life. From ancient cities and stunning natural scenery to vibrant markets and lively nightlife. You can find towering mountain ranges, ancient cities, and sweeping deserts all within its borders. During your stay, be sure to visit some of the country's most popular attractions, such as the Hassan II Mosque, the Djemaa El Fna, and of course, the Sahara Desert. You can't wait to explore everything it has to offer: 1.  Djemaa El Fna Djemaa El Fna is Marrakesh's main square and has been a hub of activity for centuries. During the day, you can find snake charmers and musicians playing, and at night the square comes alive with grilled food from the surrounding restaurants. It's an experience you won't want to miss! 2. Hassan II Mosque The Hassan II Mosque is a must-see in Morocco. It's opulent and finely crafted, with beautiful mosaics and intricate tilework. And no worries, non-Muslims are also allowed to take a guided tour of the mosque, besides, there's even a small museum on the premises for craftwork showcase. 3. Jardin Majorelle In 1980, French fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent and his partner Pierre Bergé bought Jardin Majorelle in order to preserve the vision of its original owner, French landscape painter Jacques Majorelle. The garden, which was started in 1924, contains a psychedelic desert mirage of 300 plant species from five continents. At the heart of the garden lies Majorelle's electric-blue art deco studio, which is home to the Musée Berbère. This museum showcases the rich panorama of Morocco's indigenous inhabitants through displays of some 600 artifacts. Jardin Majorelle also houses a pretty courtyard cafe, a small book and photography shop, and a chic boutique selling Majorelle blue slippers, textiles and Amazigh-inspired jewellery influenced by YSL designs. 4. Musée Yves Saint Laurent Yves Saint Laurent's love affair with Marrakesh began in 1966. By the end of his first visit, he had acquired the deeds to a house in the medina. The Algerian-born French fashion designer was fascinated by the artistry and palette of Morocco. Musée Yves Saint Laurent opened as a homage to his work and the inspiration he drew from his second home. The core of the museum is the Yves Saint Laurent Hall, which is a permanent display of his sketches, rotating haute-couture fashions and color-themed accessories. The backdrop is entirely black, which is a key color in YSL's designs. This creates a cavernous cocoon that is pierced only by audiovisuals of the designer's catwalk shows and recordings of him speaking. 5. Cactus Thiemann If you love cacti, then the Cactus Thiemann is a must-see! This North African cacti farm has fields of giant aloe, agave, and prickly pear. The largest cactus is 8m high and 80 years old! Tours of the 17-acre nursery and its 150 cacti varieties are fascinating, and there are also camels for kids. 6. Musée de Marrakech The Musée de Marrakech is a must-see for lovers of Moroccan art! This museum is a historic palace and museum located in the old center of Marrakesh land now  exhibits a collection of Moroccan art forms. The central internal courtyard is the highlight, with its cedar archways, stained-glass windows, intricate painted door panels, and zellige (colourful geometric mosaic tilework). The palace was once home to Mehdi Mnebhi, defence minister during Sultan Moulay Abdelaziz’s troubled reign (1894–1908). After independence, the building was seized by the state and became Marrakesh’s first girls’ school in 1965. 7. Sahara Desert The Souss Valley, which is located where goats climb argan trees beneath the sun-baked Anti Atlas, divides Morocco in half. The villages and Saharan gateways that are located south of this fertile valley have a seductively slow pace of life. After crossing the rocky and forlorn expanses of the hamada, the city of Dakhla is a much more relaxed destination. With the cobalt intensity of the Atlantic Ocean softened by palm trees, it's a pleasant place to spend time. The people of Morocco are also incredibly hospitable, making it a great place to visit. No matter what you do, you're sure to have a memorable experience in this vibrant and welcoming country.

Sanitary requirements and controls have been lifted. 2️⃣Do you come from another country? Visit the following link. 👉https://t.co/cqN8Siv1pn#YouDeserveSpain #VisitSpain pic.twitter.com/4lsnxgr1H1 — Spain (@spain) June 3, 2022 San Sebastián is a beautiful coastal city located in the Basque Autonomous Community of Spain. It is situated on the coast of the Bay of Biscay, just 20 km from the French border, so you'll find that the people who live here are called donostiarra, in both Spanish and Basque. San Sebastián is an incredibly attractive city, with golden beaches and lush hillsides. It has a great dining scene and some beautiful architecture, and there is always something going on in terms of culture. San Sebastián is a city with a lot going on in terms of festivals and cultural events. For example, the International Film Festival takes place in September, and the Semana Grande (a week-long celebration) occurs in August. There are also music festivals, culinary fairs, and folk festivals that celebrate Basque culture. In addition to all of these big events, there are also smaller events happening all the time, such as performances at the Kursaal, the Teatro Victoria Eugenia, or the Tabakalera. 1. Kursaal The Kursaal, designed by Rafael Moneo and opened in 1999, is one of San Sebastián's most striking buildings. Consisting of two cubes made of translucent glass with LED lights, the structure serves as the city's cultural and conference centre. The building was designed to represent two beached rocks and is the largest such facade in Spain and one of the biggest in the world. A lively array of musical and cultural events takes place here year-round. 2. Playa de la Concha Playa de la Concha is one of the best city beaches in Europe. Tanned and toned bodies spread across the sand throughout the long summer months, when a fiesta atmosphere prevails. The swimming is almost always safe. At night, the view of the bay's twinkling lights and illuminated monuments is magical. 3. Isla de Santa Clara This little island, lying 750m offshore from Playa de la Concha, is accessible by Motoras de la Isla boats that run every half-hour from the fishing port in the summer.

Tabakalera Tabakalera is a cultural space in a reconfigured tobacco factory from 1913 that is full of art and design. It is also a place for cultural enterprises such as the Basque Film Archive, the Kutxa Foundation, and various galleries and innovative firms.

Plaza de Gipuzkoa This small square, which might be called a plaza, is more like a formal garden park than a city plaza. With its duck pond, flower beds, and many trees, it was designed by French landscape gardener Pierre Ducasse. It includes a large multicolored flower clock, and around Christmas time, a giant nativity scene fills the square. 7. San Telmo Museoa The San Telmo Museoa is one of the best museums in the Basque Country. It has a thought-provoking collection that explores Basque history and culture in all its complexity. Exhibitions are spread between a restored convent dating back to the 16th century and a cutting-edge newer wing that blends into its plant-lined backdrop of Mount Urgull. The collection ranges from historical artefacts to bold fusions of contemporary art. 8. Peine del Viento The Peine del Viento (Wind Comb) sculpture is a symbol of the city, and is the work of the famous Basque sculptor Eduardo Chillida and architect Luis Peña Ganchegui. It was installed in 1977, and is made of giant iron shapes anchored by pink granite. The Peine del Viento is spread across three nearby sites, and its powerful but mysterious forms look all the more striking against the wave-battered coastline. If you're looking for a unique and breathtaking piece of artwork, be sure to check out the Peine del Viento sculpture on your next visit to the city San Sebastián is not just a beautiful city with a lot to offer travellers, but the people are friendly and welcoming too!

11 Things to Note When Traveling to Europe

11 Things to Note When Traveling to Europe

Before you leave, you might all kinds of romantic imagination about Europe... However, after you arrive in Europe and live there for a period of time, you will find that living here is a bit different from what you had imagined. Of course, Europe has its lovely places, but at the same time, there are some aspects that are very different from our way of life or habits, so it is hard to adapt to them at once. The following will share the daily life in Europe from accommodation, food, walking and leisure, so that you can understand and adapt to the European culture. Accommodation 1. Indoor Heating in Winter Winter in Europe is really cold, so most hotels and hostels are equipped with heaters, some even have floor heaters, which is very thoughtful. However, you should be careful to take out the food that will melt in the suitcase when it gets hot, otherwise your suitcase and food are likely to be scrapped. I didn't know that the floor in the hotel was heated, and that night I had chocolates in my suitcase and laid it flat on the floor. The next day, the whole row of chocolates melted, which was a painful lesson. Therefore, when you go to Europe in winter, you should pay attention to the location of indoor heating equipment and move things that are easy to melt away from the heated area or put them directly into the refrigerator. 2. The shower room is a bit narrow The showers in some European accommodations are small, especially in countries with higher prices. The narrow space can barely accommodate one person, and even turning around is not an option, plus you will bump into the surroundings if you don't move. If you want to take a more comfortable bath, remember to look at the photos of the restrooms and guest reviews when booking your stay. 3. Accommodation does not always have a lift Usually when you go to Europe, you will bring a big suitcase to put your clothes for a week or longer trips. If you choose a small hotel or hostel, it is very likely that there is only a staircase. If the hotel you stayed at only had wooden stairs, most likely you will need to pull your suitcase through, and it would make a squeaking sound. It’s so loud you might even worry that the stairs would collapse while you were trying to carry your luggage upstairs. The whole trip to Europe was to repeatedly move your luggage up and down the stairs, and you will become very strong afterwards. Diet 4. Tap Water is Drinkable In most European countries, tap water is not boiled and can be consumed directly. In addition to drinking water from the tap at home, local people also drink water from street water fountains or fountains. Since everyone's stomach and intestines are different, you have to judge your own risk before drinking. Of all the countries, Swiss tap water seems to be the best because it is the easiest to drink and does not have a bitter taste. 5. Restaurant water is not always free When you order from a foreign restaurant, the waiter will always ask if you want water. You'll think they're asking for free water, so you'll ask for it. As a result, when you get to pay, you'll see the bill for 3 euros for a glass of water. This will be the most expensive water you've ever had, and it's tap water. If you don't want to order such expensive water, remember to ask the waiter cheekily if it's free. Because some restaurants charge for water, the average cup is 1-3 euros. 6. Uneven streets When you first walk down the streets of Europe, you will see that the ground is made up of bricks of different sizes and heights, which is very European. This is very different from the concrete streets in many countries. However, when you carry your suitcase, it will ruin the romantic European style and you will miss our flat concrete road. Especially when you are in a hurry, it is very difficult to drag your luggage on the uneven streets. It is recommended that you bring a suitcase of 26 inches or less to Europe, otherwise you will not be able to walk. 7. Train doors requires a button to open You might be used to the subway doors opening automatically, but some of the subways or trains in Europe do not open automatically. Usually there is a button or a hand button on the side of the door, and you have to press the button to open it. I guess the reason is to keep the temperature of the train compartment moderate, because it is very cold in winter and a cold wind will blow when you open the door. In addition, not all passengers get off at every stop, so the doors are opened only when passengers need them, which reduces the number of times the cold wind blows into the car. But the first time you go there, you won't know you have to press the button and almost won't be able to get off the train. Leisure 8. Shops close very early European life has always given people a very leisurely and relaxed feeling, because they mostly focus on work life balance, so most stores close early. Europe is divided into summer and winter time, winter they will be earlier, may be about 4 o'clock after work. On Sundays and holidays, they don't even open. Most of the stores in the mall were not open on Christmas Day. This is very different from our 24-hour convenience stores and supermarkets that are open all year round. When going to some remote areas, it is best to stock up on food first, as supermarkets in Europe may be closed on Sundays. 9. Museums have checkrooms Most museums in Europe have cloak rooms where visitors can put down their backpacks and heavy clothing. Some even make it mandatory for visitors to put their luggage and hats in the cloak room before they can enter, probably because they are afraid of bringing too much stuff to damage the exhibits. In addition to museums, opera houses also make it mandatory for visitors to put their belongings in the cloakroom. Therefore, it is necessary to arrive 15 minutes earlier to watch a large exhibition or opera to reserve time to queue up for the cloakroom for personal belongings. Others 10. Pay to go to the restroom You never know when you'll have to pay to use the restroom. In some public places in Europe, or even some restaurants, you might have to pay to use the facilities. There are usually staff or gates at the entrance of the restrooms, so you can pay cash or get in with a restaurant receipt. It's always a good idea to bring change with you, just in case. If you want to save money, try to go to places like the museum or restaurant, where you won't have to pay extra. 11. Bring your own lock There are usually three situations where you need a lock. First, when you put your luggage on the luggage rack on the train, it is best to use a lock to secure your luggage to the rack to prevent others from taking it by mistake or stealing it. Secondly, when you put your luggage in the locker in a hostel, you should lock it with a lock. Because hostels may not necessarily provide locks for free, so bring your own without spending extra money to buy with the hostel. Third, when storing your luggage in the mini storage, you need to buy another lock to lock the door, so you don't have to pay for it. Hope the above 11 things to take note for European trips can make your trip to Europe easier!
