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

Phuket, Thailand: The Island You Can Escape to This Winter

Phuket, Thailand: The Island You Can Escape to This Winter

Why Phuket? The southwestern island of Phuket, in Thailand, is a popular tourist destination for its white sand beaches, aquamarine water, and limestone cliffs. Surrounded by the Andaman Sea and about an hour by plane from Bangkok, Phuket offers travelers tropical appeal along with affordable prices for everything from accommodations to spa treatments and boat tours. Although its beaches and tourism operators have bounced back from the 2004 tsunami that hammered its western coast and tragically claimed thousands of lives, Phuket has not forgotten its past—it remembers through its memorials and a better warning system should the area come under threat again. What to do? With so many things to do and experiences to have in this part of Thailand, many visitors have created an exclusive bucket list to ensure that they cover everything. Here's a list of things you should try as well! Beaches If you love beaches, Phuket is the place for you. This tropical island in Thailand has many beautiful beaches where you can lie in the sun, stroll hand-in-hand with your sweetheart, watch a spectacular sunset and even enjoy some water sports. Beach hopping is one of the most popular things to do in Phuket. Boat Tour Phang Nga Bay is a popular destination for boat tours that take you past rock formations standing vertically from the water, letting you witness breathtaking views and amazing surrounding scenery. You can opt for a full-day tour to the fishing village of Koh Panyee, or spend some time at Phi Phi Islands' white-sand beaches. If you have at least one full day at hand, visit Phang Nga Bay Marine National Park—home to mangroves, birds, mammals, fish, amphibians, and reptiles. Tiger Kingdom Tiger Kingdom offers a unique experience, allowing visitors to get up close and personal with tigers in their natural habitat. These tigers are rescued from the wild and live in a large enclosure where they can run around freely, just as they would in the wild. It is a great day out for the whole family and you will not want to miss out on this opportunity. Phuket FantaSea Show In Thailand, you can’t miss Phuket FantaSea Show. It is a combination of modern technology and state-of-the-art show elements. Thai ethos, such as love, fun, freedom, and courage are represented in various acts including magic illusions, acrobatics, pyrotechnics, stunts, animal performances, and special 4-D shows. What to eat? Phuket has thousands of restaurants, but this island is best known for its delicious street food. In this article, we'll give you some recommendations for some of the city's most authentic dishes. Dim Sum When you visit Phuket, be sure to try dim sum. A popular Chinese fusion dish, dim sum is available in a variety of flavors and styles. While there are many different kinds of dim sum to choose from, the best ones are those that have been folded seven times and have a fluffy texture. When you eat dim sum in Thailand, you can expect it to be smooth and flavorful. Kanom Jeen Phuket Kanom Jeen, another popular soup in Thailand, is a spicy chicken and mushroom dish added with galangal, tomatoes, and lemongrass. The dish can be made mind-blowing by using beef, chicken, fish, crab, and vegetables. Satay If you're a foodie traveling in Thailand, don't miss out on the satay culture, especially in Phuket. From chicken to pork to beef, there is a huge selection of satay for you to enjoy. This dish is usually served with a delicious peanut sauce made from fish sauce, ginger, green onions, cilantro leaves, jalapenos, pepper, peanut butter, sesame oil, lemon juice, and coconut milk. The combination of these ingredients makes the sauce the star of the show, making satay a greasy favorite treat! Roti Pancake Thai-style sweet pancakes are truly unique. They're a mix of flour, egg, condensed milk, sugar, and salt. The filling can be any of the fruits you want to eat. Some people like to eat these pancakes with thick coconut milk or ice cream on top. If you see a street hawker selling them with signs, make your way over for this treat!

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.

Experience the Most Scenic Hot Springs Destinations in the USA. The Perfect Place for an Unforgettable Getaway!

Experience the Most Scenic Hot Springs Destinations in the USA. The Perfect Place for an Unforgettable Getaway!

Mother Nature has blessed the United States with numerous natural wonders such as mountains, lakes, rivers, forests, waterfalls and hot springs. A hidden jewel amongst these nature’s bounty is the beautiful hot springs in USA. Besides its calming effect on people, the hot springs in USA are also frequented by many for its therapeutic uses. There are many famous hot springs in USA, as a result of which, there is a steady rise in the number of resorts and spas around them. 1. Iron Mountain Hot Springs, Colorado Overlooking the mighty Colorado River in the historic town of Glenwood Springs, Iron Mountain Hot Springs offers a more intimate and varied soaking experience than at the nearby (and better known) Glenwood Hot Springs Resort. You can choose your own adventure at the 16 geothermal mineral soaking pools here (ages 5 and up only), connected by heated walkways. 2. Homestead Crater, Utah As long as you’re okay with a hot springs soak that’s not as hot as most of them (temperatures max out around 96°F here), Utah’s Homestead Crater definitely delivers the most diverse onsite experiences of any hot springs we know. Where else can you not only float in womb-like waters but also scuba dive in them (if you’re certified), snorkel and even try some SUP yoga within the beehive-shaped dome of the hot springs’ natural limestone. 3. Castle Hot Springs, Arizona Tucked into a scenic canyon in the Bradshaw Mountains, just an hour from Phoenix, Castle Hot Springs has been luring tourists since the late 1800s–and Indigenous peoples for far longer–with its healing waters. Now a luxury all-inclusive wellness resort, it’s well worth a stay here for exceptional stargazing at night, a thrilling onsite via ferrata course and, of course, 24-hour access to mineral hot springs that cascade across three pools of varying temperatures. 4. Chena Hot Springs, Alaska If there’s any state in the US that naturally begs you to seek out a hot spring, then it’s Alaska. And one of the most famous ones in the state is found 150 miles south of the Arctic Circle near Fairbanks at Chena Hot Springs. If your luck is on point here during the darker months of the year, from late August through late April, you might even get lucky and catch the Northern Lights swirling overhead while you soak. 5. Avalanche Ranch Hot Springs, Colorado You can come as a day-tripper or stay the night in adorable cabins (including the Chuck Wagon, which sleeps only two people and sits atop actual wheels) at this inimitable hot springs resort in Colorado’s sublime Crystal River Valley. Surrounded by mountains in the White River National Forest, Avalanche Ranch Hot Springs has three hot spring pools on the property of varying sizes that cascade, waterfall-like, down the mountainside. 6. Orvis Hot Springs, Colorado Ten indoor and outdoor soaking pools beckon uninhibited lovers of lithium-infused water to this clothing-optional oasis just north of Ouray in southwestern Colorado. Water temperatures in the various pools at Orvis Hot Springs run the range from a nippy 65°F to a steamy 114°F in the lobster pot, so you can try alternating hot and cold dips if you really want to get your blood flowing. 7. Hot Springs State Park, Wyoming What’s better than a hot spring surrounded by nature in a state park? How about free-entry hot springs surrounded by nature in a state park. That’s right, there’s no one taking tickets or sliding your credit card to access the Wyoming State Bath House in Thermopolis, Wyoming, at Hot Springs State Park. Indoor and outdoor mineral hot springs flow up from the earth at 128°F and are cooled to 104°F for your therapeutic bathing benefit. 8. Benton Hot Springs, California Camping alongside your own private hot spring-fed soaking tub with spectacular views? We’re into it. The 11 private hot spring-fed soaking pools at Benton Hot Springs in California’s Mono County are available for overnight rentals and sit astride your own picnic table and fire pit for roasting s’mores post soaking session. Feel free to pitch a tent (or show up in an RV or camper) for the night to linger longer and enjoy the dark skies overhead (there’s an inn here with a few rustic rooms, too, but camping is where it’s at). 9. Tolovana Hot Springs, Alaska Where Chena Hot Springs tends to draw the aurora-seeking masses to its sprawling outdoor hot pool, this more remote Alaskan hot spring destination 45 miles as the crow (or helicopter) flies north of Fairbanks makes you earn it—which means hiking or flying in during the summer months, or arriving by dogsled or on skis when it’s snowy. As you might imagine, arriving by dog sled to Tolovana Hot Springs pretty much takes the cake, and you can head out with Arctic Dog Aventure Co. to reach the springs on multi-night dog sledding expeditions that promise one awesome adventure (and often the Northern Lights, too). 10. Burgdorf Hot Springs, Idaho Topping the list of Idaho’s most epic and historic hot springs, Burgdorf Hot Springs is on the National Register of Historic Places and delivers a true western experience. Open to guests who overnight in the rustic collection of onsite cabins as well as day visitors who register their visits in advance, the springs are surrounded by the lodgepole-pine covered slopes of the Salmon River Mountains and original wooden structures built by miners in the 1800s.

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.

Follow These Steps and Find the Best Travel Companion for You

Follow These Steps and Find the Best Travel Companion for You

Do you need a travel buddy? What is the best travel companion for you? Here is a guideline to find your perfect match on the road. Perhaps many people have heard, that after many years of friends or couples going out to play a trip back, the relationship will be drawn to a close. Travel should be a happy thing, why does it seem to become a big test of a relationship? What kind of travel companion is really suitable for you? You can refer to the following directions: Travel at the same speed I want to leave at 7:00 every day and not come back until I'm exhausted. You want to have breakfast at your place and rest until you feel like you can go out at noon. It is common to see arguments over the difference in the speed of travel. There is no right or wrong travel, only whether it suits you. Before you go, understand each other's expectations and habits, find a travel companion who is on the same frequency as you, or meet early and discuss possible adjustments. The travel budget is similar “ I want to eat a big meal, eat Michelin, isn't the whole point of travel to enjoy and expand your horizons? I just want to go to the supermarket to buy bread or bring a noodle, so I can save as much as I can, no need to spend so much money on a trip. ” The budget is realistic, he will decide a person's consumption, the way to live, eat, transportation options and activities to experience, and so on. Although not everything needs to spend money, travel is really a need for continuous spending. Knowing in advance if the other person's budget is similar to your own can indirectly avoid inconsistencies in making decisions each time you travel. Common hobbies are good It's always easy to be together with like-minded people. “ We both love to listen to concerts, so we can attend, immerse ourselves in, and discuss together during the trip, and we can remember together in the future. ” Because we share the same ideas and interests. More like an additional person to accompany themselves to all their original favorite places. Finding a travel companion with a common interest will always make the trip easy and full of laughter. Different specialties/ interests are also great “ I love classical music, and I love to watch opera when I go abroad. ” “ I'm a fitness fanatic, and I still want to keep moving when I'm abroad. ” Photo by erica steeves / Unsplash “ I have a great sense of direction, but I don't speak the language. ” “ I'm not bad at English, but I can never read maps and directions. ” Photo by Nick Seagrave / Unsplash In fact, travel companions with different expertise and interests can help each other very well and can make their trip more exciting and special. We can help each other, some are good at finding airline tickets, some know a lot about food, you can show me how to experience and learn about opera, and I can play ball together in a different place because of you. The experience is more diverse, and you can do things more efficiently. Don't limit yourself to finding friends with similar interests, it's often nice to be different. Independence and respect can win the day The most important point about travel companions is actually independence and respect. When travel companions are independent enough to travel on their own but choose to travel together; when travel companions understand that there are no two people in the world who are exactly the same, and when each other's decisions and choices are different from their own, they show respect. You will find that no matter when your interests are different, or when your spending choices are different, you can separate temporarily and reunite later. When you meet, you will hear a lot of interesting things and share everything you have experienced. Independent and mutually respectful travel companions can overcome anything.

Soaring with the Gigantic Whale 🐋: Central Pacific Coast

Soaring with the Gigantic Whale 🐋: Central Pacific Coast

Travel Advisory: COVID-19 : Important notice for traveler Read more ¡Que gire y gire la ruleta para saber cuál es tu próximo destino ✈️! ¿A dónde te vas de paseo?#VisitMéxico pic.twitter.com/HrNH66OnxW — Visit México (@VisitMex) August 13, 2022 The central Pacific coast of Mexico is a land of stunning beaches, gigantic aquamarine waves, and giant sunsets. You can eat sublime seafood under simple palm-frond roofs, drink chilled coconut water while lounging in a hammock, and enjoy poolside cocktails at an upmarket resort. The nightlife is great and there's a beach for everyone, whether you prefer yours backed by high-rise hotels or tumbledown cabins. In the ocean, you can surf world-class breaks and spot humpback whales breaching on the horizon, battalions of mother turtles arriving to lay their eggs, pelicans flying in formation or pods of dolphins rising from the waves. Don't hesitate, come and start you surfing adventure now. 1. Jardín Botánico de Vallarta In the Vallarta Botanical Gardens, you can see one of Mexico's most extensive orchid collections, as well as a variety of native plants and birds. After strolling through the grounds, you can go down a jungle trail to the tranquil shores of Río Horcones, where you can swim in a boulder-strewn river. Nature enthusiasts come from far and wide to see the garden’s colorful collection of native orchids. You’ll see Mexican vanilla, cacao trees, and agave tequilana, learn about how chocolate is made and how it played an important role in pre-Hispanic rituals at the same time. 2. Yelapa Yelapa is a small fishing community with a picturesque beach. It's backed by jungle-shrouded mountains and is best reached by boat. The beach is definitely a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Puerto Vallarta. There are plenty of places to eat in Yelapa, from seafood restaurants to taco joints and cafes. You can try local specialties like fish tacos, birria, and pescado zarandeado. And don't forget to try a michelada cubana! After your meal, look for one of Yelapa's "pie ladies," who walk around the beach carrying delicious coconut, banana, and lime pies. 3. Playa La Boquita At Playa La Boquita, you can spend the day swimming in calm waters, lounging on the beach, and snorkeling around a shipwreck. There are also plenty of seafood restaurants to enjoy on another beach nearby Yelapa. 4. Volcán Ceboruco This active volcano consisting of two calderas and three cinder cones. You're allowed to hike around this active volcano, which last erupted in 1870. The road to the volcano passes lava fields, fumaroles, and lush vegetation. It begins in the village of Jala, which is 7km off the highway from Tepic to Guadalajara. 5. Zona Arqueológica de Palma Sola Palma Sola is an archaeological settlement located in the amphitheater or upper part of the port of Acapulco, yet Acapulco's best-kept secret hill.The site has an area of approximately four hectares and is made up of a set of architectural complexes built with stonework and mud, among which the Great Pyramid stands out. It's a ceremonial and pilgrimage site dating back to 450 BCE to 650 CE, with some wonderfully preserved rock paintings, petroglyphs depicting the story of creation, and the best bird's-eye view of the city. 6. Clavadistas de la Quebrada Acapulco's cliff divers have been dazzling audiences since 1934. Every night, a team of seven lithe young divers leaps into churning waves, scales the cliff opposite the viewing platform, and then plunges with fearless finesse from heights of 25m to 35m into the narrow ocean cove below. 7. Zócalo Acapulco's leafy old town, Zócalo, comes alive with street performers, mariachis, and sidewalk cafes every night yet also hosts occasional festivals. The town is the main square in central Mexico City. It was the main ceremonial center in the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan. The plaza is now known as Plaza de la Constitución (Constitution Square). The name comes from the Cádiz Constitution, which was signed in Spain by the representatives of Mexico during the Mexican War of Independence. 8. Old Mazatlán Mazatlán's old town has been restored and is full of beautiful 19th-century buildings and lovely plazas. It's set back from Playa Olas Altas, a small cove beach where the waterfront road – with its old-fashioned bars and hotels – makes you feel like you're in the 1950s. Though it's not as nice as it could be because of the ugly radio masts of Cerro de la Nevería, this old quarter is still delightful, with student life and numerous art galleries, cafes, restaurants and bars. 9. Teatro Ángela Peralta The 1366-seat theater named after a 19th-century soprano, just off Plaza Machado, was a thriving center of local cultural life for nearly a century. It was revived from its decaying state by dedicated local citizens in the late 1980s, And the three-level interior has been restored to its former splendor. All kinds of cultural events are staged here, from temporary art exhibitions to the annual Festival Cultural Mazatlán. By the coast, you can enjoy the air if you're nature enthusiasts. Yet the coast also houses quite some cultural events, so don't worry if you're looking for a artistic trip. It's the best you love both nature and culture of the coast!

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.

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.

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.

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.

A resealable lid with odor-trapping panels keep stink and wetness contained. Customer Review: So my munchkins are 4 legged pooping machines.

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.

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.

Happiness is... Having Breakfast in Madrid!

Happiness is... Having Breakfast in Madrid!

8 restaurants for breakfast you should try in Madrid. 1. Chocolatería San Ginés The bar has a nostalgic atmosphere, recalling the cafes of the late nineteenth century. It has two floors, each furnished with traditional white marble tables. At the tile-covered counter, visitors can have chocolate with churros, any other soft drink or coffee accompanied by pastries in the traditional way. Its opening until the wee hours of the morning makes it possible for people to gather for breakfast of different types. Food popular here * churros con chocolate Let’s see how people review this restaurant "An institution in Madrid, at San Gines you get to eat amazing chocolate and churros and because it has been operating since 1894, the atmosphere of a classic cafe is fabulous.The chocolate is not too bitter. My tip is you wait a few minutes before eating so it cools/thickens just a little and clings to the churro better. A child of mine said you need maximum chocolate adhesion. (Science word of the day)"—Hart P. "Chocolate con churros are definitely a treat though because they're very heavy and have a certain taste to them that lingers in your mouth for a while, but it's definitely worth it if you're ever in Madrid. Definitely recommend coming with friends so you guys can share!"—Jenny T. "You simply cannot visit Madrid and not stop in at San Gines. This is the perfect place for that mid afternoon snack when you want to rest your legs and enjoy something sweet. My go-to is always the "churros con chocolate," that is a mug of thick chocolate and churros."—Patricia G. Restaurant Info * Mon - Sun ,24 hours * https://chocolateriasangines.com/ * 913 656 546 * Pasadizo de San Ginés, 5 28013 Madrid Spain 2. Toma Café Their obsession is to take the cafeteria out of its normal context, and to take it to places where you would never expect to find it. The Espresso Bar is dynamic and adaptable, and can be adapted to suit your needs. Whether you're opening a store, launching a product at a fair, or catering for a shoot, they can be there to provide great coffee. Food popular here * Cold Brew Toque * Ice Latte * Salted Caramel Latte Let’s see how people review this restaurant "So cute and excellent options! Definitely recommend the chai latte and the brownie.

"It's hard finding larger-sized portions of breakfast in a country that normally has a cup of coffee and bread, so this place was a great find!

Specially the front desk staff who assist us. Very approachable and she even upgraded our room . So we decided to stay there again on the 4th of May. Our room is clean and very safe to go around . There is also a lot of sanitary stuffs. Me and my family were very happy and satisfied -okiyama lourdes This hotel is situated near the metro. Rooms are spacious with all facilities you need. Heated toilet seat, for example (which you don't need :)). Cleaning was superb, breakfast is enormous, and the staff is first class and as most japanese, very friendly. Shops in the lobby is a bit pricy, you rather buy your stuff elsewhere. -KongHans1 Excellent hotel with spectacular views from higher rooms. Breakfast a bit pricy but what you would expect from a grand hotel. Handy for exploring Tokyo. We used it as a base for exploring nearby sites. -Danny R Hotel info * https://tokyo-ikebukuro.hotel-metropolitan.com/ * +81-3-3980-1111 * 1-6-1, Nishi-Ikebukuro, Toshima-ku, Tokyo 171-8505, Japan 10.

There is also Hachiko's Statue, great hotel for it's price and privilege. -Carlos GR I generally like the Cerulean though it's starting to be in need to fix up the rooms as becoming somewhat dated. Also, any hotel that still charges to use the pool plus charges over $100 a night for a cot isn't worth it. The check-out line during Covid was atrocious -SamM Stayed here at the start of 2020. For the classic luxurious stay in Tokyo this is your best bet if you want a Japanese brand over international chains. The location is a short walk to central Shibuya. Room and bathroom offers a superb view over the city skyline. Extremely spacious by Japanese standards. Will be my go to hotel any time I want to splurge in Tokyo. -pgia4868 Hotel info * https://www.tokyuhotelsjapan.com/ * 26-1 Sakuragaoka-cho, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo 150-8512 * +81-3-3476-3000 You may also be interested in: Travel Back in Showa in Kyoto10 Japanese style resorts in Kyoto you wouldn’t want to leave.BucktripDeweySpirited Away ⛩: JapanBuy your ticket and travel to confirm, whether Japan is the Japan that you imagined.Bucktrip三口矛木

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.

The rooms are very spacious, which is rare in Japan, we had a lot of space! The ryokan amenities are great, especially the public baths, excellent to relax after a day of touring Kyoto. 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.

Update Your Current Status with Sydney's Coffee

1. The Grounds of The City The Grounds of Alexandria is a thriving urban sanctuary that opened in April 2012. The philosophy of the sanctuary is to bring people together to enjoy fresh, wholesome food. The sanctuary effortlessly blends the natural beauty of the great outdoors with simple, rustic charm. The inner-west eatery is an all-in-one café, bar, restaurant, garden and event hub. Food popular here * Mule Cocktail * Chicken poke salad * Wagyu beef sandwich Let’s see how people review this restaurant “Service and food was good! Loved my toast with the poached eggs. I ordered a side of salmon and avocado to put on my toast. Everything was super fresh.The French toast was naturally sweeten. So happy we chose this restaurant instead of the others around the area for breakfast. They no longer have the coconut smoothie.” — Melanie A. “Lots of ambiance, super cute inside. We went for breakfast twice during our stay because the food was so good. The French toast is to DIE for, as was the potato hash with kale and eggs. Make pretty good coffee and drinks as well, and the deconstructed teas on the menu looked quite fun. We're excited to stop by the takeaway counter later for cakes and pastries.” — Bri P. “It helps to have a waitstaff who can give you recommendations. We had some wonderful food: grilled cuttlefish (very and perfectly spicy), a surprising and wonderful salad, the venison shoulder pappardelle, and then - a mediocre salted caramel dessert that we were honest about.

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. Yves Saint Laurent YSL is a fashion house founded in 1962 by designer Yves Saint Laurent and his partner Pierre Bergé. 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 Museums Named after People

The Museums Named after People

Museums that began in earlier times were usually private collections belonging to wealthy individuals, families, or institutions of art. It's common to see museums named after ruler of kingdoms or noble families due to the ownerships. As the times changes, the dynasties are gone, to name a museum after the title of family or a country ruler is not usual as it was. But we can still see some of the musuems named after people, let's read the article and figure it out why. 1. N's Yard N’s YARD was created because Yoshitomo Nara wanted a place in Japan where people could see his work in a more casual setting. The contemporary art space showcases not only his work, but alsorecord sleeves and art objects that Nara has collected over the years. He chose the location in Nasu because he was impressed by the natural environment and scenery. N’s YARD had an advance opening in November of 2017 and officially opened in March of 2018. 2. J. Paul Getty Museum The J. Paul Getty Museum, commonly referred to as the Getty, is an art museum with two campuses: the Getty Center and Getty Villa. The Getty Center, which houses pre-20th-century European paintings, drawings, illuminated manuscripts, sculpture, decorative arts, and photographs, is located in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles. The Getty Villa, which displays art from Ancient Greece, Rome, and Etruria, is located in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles. In 1974, J. Paul Getty opened a museum in a re-creation of the Villa of the Papyri at Herculaneum on his property in Malibu, California. In 1997, the museum moved to its current location in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles; the Malibu museum, renamed the "Getty Villa", was renovated and reopened in 2006. 3. Victoria and Albert Museum The Victoria and Albert Museum was founded in 1852 with the mission to educate designers, manufacturers and the public in art and design. Its origins lie in the Great Exhibition of 1851, which was the world's first international display of design and manufacturing. Following the Exhibition, Prince Albert saw the need to maintain and improve the standards of British industry to compete in the international marketplace, and he urged that the profits of the Exhibition be used to develop a cultural district of museums and colleges in South Kensington devoted to art and science education. The Museum was the first of these institutions, and it was renamed after Queen Victoria and her husband Prince Albert, commemorating his role in its establishment. The V&A has a long and unique history, starting as a Museum of Manufactures in 1852 and evolving over time into the state-of-the-art museum it is today. From ancient Chinese ceramics to Alexander McQueen evening dresses, museum's collections span 5,000 years of human creativity, making it one of the most comprehensive collections of art and design in the world. 4. National Museum of Science and Technology Leonardo Da Vinci Leonardo da Vinci who was active as painter, draughtsman, sculptor, but also an engineer, sciencist, theorist, and architect, is considered to be one of the main representatives of the dialogue between scientific and humanistic disciplines. The museum is dedicated to Leonardo Da Vinci is the largest science and technology museum in Italy. It was opened on 5 February 1953 and inaugurated by Prime Minister Alcide De Gasperi. The Museum is divided into seven main departments: Materials, Transport, Energy, Communication, Leonardo da Vinci, Art & Science, New Frontiers, Science for young people. Each of these departments have laboratories, especially for children and young students. The Transport section is made up of four different parts: air, rail, water and Submarine Enrico Toti-S-506. 5. Van Gogh Museum The museum traces Van Gogh's lengendary life and artistic development via the world's largest collection of his work. There are more than 200 canvases on display, ranging from his early, bleak portraits of peasants in the Netherlands to his later years in sunny France, where he produced his best-known work with its characteristic giddy color.

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.

Travel Advisory: COVID-19 : Important notice for traveler Read more We're currently seeing high levels of #COVID19 in NYC. To help slow the spread, all New Yorkers should wear a high-quality mask, such as an N95, KN95 or KF94 in all public indoor settings and around crowds outside: https://t.co/shJeMOKfFE pic.twitter.com/8aByVVy5Wr — City of New York (@nycgov) July 10, 2022 Welcome to the Big Apple! New York City is a place like no other. It's a melting pot of cultures and a hub of activity 24/7. There's always something to see, do, or eat in NYC, whether it's a Broadway show, a street fair, or just people watching in Times Square. So no matter you're a night owl or an early bird, you'll find plenty to keep you busy in the city that never sleeps! Whether you're looking for high-end shopping, world-renowned museums, or just a good slice of pizza, you'll find it all here. And don't forget to check out the Empire State Building, Central Park, and the Statue of Liberty. But the NYC also has its hiden spots the even some of the New Yorkers may not know...So let's start the journey! Everyone knows... •  Empire State Building The Empire State Building remains the queen bee of the New York skyline, despite the Chrysler Building's prettier exterior and One World Trade Center's taller height. The Empire State Building has been featured in around a hundred films and countless skyline snapshots. It is a quintessential part of New York, having been scaled by King Kong and drawn lovers together in films like Sleepless in Seattle. The Empire State Building is recognizable to Manhattanites and visitors from all over the world and is synonymous with the Big Apple itself. But some of you may also want to know... •  Grand Central Terminal Grand Central Terminal, completed in 1913, is one of New York's most venerated beaux-arts beauties. It is adorned with Tennessee-marble floors and Italian-marble ticket counters, and its main concourse is capped by a vaulted ceiling depicting the constellations, designed by French painter Paul César Helleu. Today, Grand Central's underground electric tracks serve only commuter trains en route to northern suburbs and Connecticut, but the station merits a special trip for the architecture alone. Everyone knows... •  Brooklyn Bridge The New York icon is the world’s first steel suspension bridge. It is also the longest suspension bridge when it opened in 1883. The construction of Brooklyn Bridge was fraught with disaster, but the bridge's neo-Gothic towers have endured as city emblems. Crossing the bridge is a exhilarating journey with numerous photo-ops. The suspended bicycle/pedestrian walkway delivers soul-stirring views of Manhattan, the East River and the waterfront.

Concerts and other cultural events (author talks, tastings) are held regularly. There's a playground for kids and a community garden outside. If you happen to pass by outside of the posted visiting hours, give them a call. If someone's inside they'll usually be happy to let you in. Everyone knows... •  Statue of Liberty Lady Liberty is one of New York City's most enduring symbols. First conceived in 1865 by French intellectual Édouard de Laboulaye as a monument to the republican principles shared by France and the USA, the Statue of Liberty remains a powerful symbol of America’s founding ideals. For generations, migrants to America cruised past the statue on their way into New York harbour, and knew they had arrived in the land of freedom and opportunity.

It contains several prominent structures, including 1 Hanover Square, a National Historic Landmark.

In addition, the remaining portions of the street are part of the Financial District's street layout, a city landmark. Everyone knows... •  Metropolitan Museum of Art The Metropolitan Museum of Art, affectionately known as "The Met," is one of the most beloved corners of New York City. What started with a handful of paintings brought over from Europe or donated by a coterie of philanthropically minded robber barons in the 19th century has since become a massive collection of two million works of art representing 5000 years of history. The Met was founded 151 years ago with the intention of educating and edifying a teaming city of immigrants, and underscore the uniquely global culture of 19th century New York City. Whether that stated purpose has been meet by modern, post-colonial standards is up for debate in recent years – a conversation many museums are reckoning with worldwide.

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. No rush, take a small break with artisan pastries and continue your journey. 5. Boulenc Pan Artesano The best bakery in Oaxaca also has a trendy cafe next door, not that surprised but their most popular dish is avocado toast. The cafe has excellent coffee and cakes, and is located in a patio with terrace seating upstairs. 6. Zócalo The Zócalo is the central square in Oaxaca city, and it is a great place to people-watch. The square is surrounded by portales (arcades) and is shaded by tall trees. The adjoining Alameda plaza is also a great place for people-watching, with its trinket-toting vendors, street performers and informal clothes market. By day and night, the square is bustling with life, as marimba ensembles, brass bands and roving buskers float their melodies among the crowds, hawkers try to offload pretty carpets and hideous balloons, and lovers parade in slow rounds under the trees. Give your legs a rest after wandering in the parade, don't just passed by this swanky tasting room. 7. Mezcaloteca This is the best place in the city to visit if you want to learn about mezcal. The staff here can teach you about how mezcal is made, and you will get a crash course in how to taste it and what to look for in a quality product. Call ahead to book a tasting session, and come prepared to ask questions.The hosts will offer you a selection from the house brands based on your tastes. They work with small-batch producers to create a number of unique, blended, wild-crafted and aged mezcals that can't be found anywhere else. And it comes to the time for surfing and swimming in Pacific Ocean. 8. Punta Cometa Punta Conejo is a rocky cape located at the west end of Mazunte beach. It is a great place to hike at sunset, with stunning views of the Pacific Ocean. To get to the cape, take the lane toward Playa Mermejita off Calle Rinconcito, and go left up the track immediately after the cemetery. You will reach the community nature reserve entrance after 250m. From there, you can take the path leading down to the right or the central path to get to the Punta. 9. Playa Zipolite Zipolite's beach is a great place to relax and soak up the sun and it's famous for its nudity. People of all ages and genders can be found sunbathing, swimming, or walking around without clothes, which is the most iconic scene of the beach. Exhausted from the sunbathing? You got a outstanding dining option here. 10. La Providencia The restaurant combines exquisite flavors, artful presentation, and a relaxed ambience. You can sip a cocktail in the open-air lounge while you peruse the menu. The contemporary Mexican cuisine is sure to please, with options like amaranth-encrusted aubergine, beef medallions with red-wine reduction, and coconut-crusted prawns with mango sauce. And pro tips... save room for their chocolate mousse! No music? No music! But this Oaxaca! 11. Mar & Wana Look no further than Mar & Wana if you're looking for a unique and fun night out! This sand-floor garden hosts live bands and DJs, and has an on-site food court with gourmet burgers, tacos, and Asian fare. Grab a mezcal or cocktail and check out the cool (somewhat hidden) hangout spots up on the rocks. You're sure to have a night to remember at Mar & Wana! Last but not least... 12. Guelaguetza Show The Guelaguetza is an annual indigenous cultural event in Mexico that features traditional costumed dancing by gender-separated groups. It includes parades of indigenous walking bands, native food, and statewide artisanal crafts, such as pre-Hispanic style textiles. The event takes place in the city of Oaxaca and nearby villages. If you're interested in seeing this traditional Mexican dance, the best place to go is the Quinta Real hotel. The hotel hosts a highly colorful three-hour show on Monday evenings, featuring regional dances from across Mexico, as well as an impressive display of traditional Oaxacan costumes. Oaxaca is a truly magical place that should not be missed yet an unforgettable destination for travelers from all over the world.

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!

The Home of Vincent van Gogh 🎨: Netherlands

The Home of Vincent van Gogh 🎨: Netherlands

Travel Advisory: COVID-19 : Important notice for traveler Read more #BringYourself, Jelle will do the same. 👏 With the Vuelta A Espana starting in one week in Utrecht, let us tell you the story of Jelle, the city's first cycling mayor. "Personally, I hope that La Vuelta will act as a springboard for the duo bike initiative." Discover it here! pic.twitter.com/QyU24JLBsZ — Visit Netherlands (@Visit_NL) August 12, 2022 There are many stories in the Netherlands that tell about the country's rich history, culture, and destinations. For example, Van Gogh and the Golden Age, but flowers and water are also closely related to the country's existence. But flowers, windmills, and wooden shoes are what you can only think about Holland? What a shame! The country has so much more to offer! You can enjoy the bracing wind with a beach walk along the Dutch coast or a cycling tour of the Veluwe. You can experience the welcoming hospitality of North Brabant and Limburg, the authentic charm of our Hanseatic cities and the Achterhoek in eastern Holland, and the freedom of the provinces of Friesland and Groningen with their wide horizons. You can discover how the Dutch battle against the water in Flevoland, our newest province, and immerse yourself in Dutch culture in the modern metropolises, historic cities, and picturesque villages in the west of the Netherlands. And best of all, you do not have to choose because all this and much more is within a two hour travel distance! So start your engine on now: 1. Van Gogh Museum The museum traces Van Gogh's lengendary life and artistic development via the world's largest collection of his work. There are more than 200 canvases on display, ranging from his early, bleak portraits of peasants in the Netherlands to his later years in sunny France, where he produced his best-known work with its characteristic giddy color. 2. Anne Frank Huis Visiting Anne Frank House is one of Amsterdam's most profound experiences. Tragically, of the 107,000 Jewish adults and children deported from the Netherlands to concentration camps during WWII, only 5000 survived. Entering the "Secret Annexe" where the teenaged girl and her family desperately hid from the Nazis for over two years until their capture puts the Holocaust's atrocities into acutely human scale, intimately personalizing the war's catastrophic effects. 0:00/1× Feeling how Anne and her family felt by standing in these sombre, airless rooms and viewing the diary Anne wrote while hiding here is impossible to forget. 3. Hermitage Amsterdam There have been long-standing links between Russia and the Netherlands - Tsar Peter the Great learned shipbuilding here in 1697 - which is why there is a branch of St Petersburg's State Hermitage Museum. Blockbuster temporary exhibitions show works from the Hermitage's vast treasure trove, while the permanent Portrait Gallery of the Golden Age has formal group portraits of the 17th-century Dutch A-list; the Outsider Gallery also has temporary shows. The Outsider Art Gallery is a place for outsider art artists to exhibit and sell their work or exchanges with galleries at home and abroad, and with other museums. 4. Royal Palace This resplendent building, which was originally designed as a town hall in 1655 and became a palace in the 19th century, is a shining example of Amsterdam's wealth. The interiors are particularly impressive, including the marble work in the great burgerzaal (citizens' hall) at the heart of the building. 5. Mauritshuis This splendid museum offers a wonderful introduction to Dutch and Flemish art. It is set in a 17th-century mansion that was built for wealthy sugar trader Johan Maurits and became a museum housing the Royal Picture Collection in 1822. It acquired a swish modern wing in 2012-14. The 800-strong collection of paintings focuses on works created between the 15th and 18th centuries and includes masterpieces such as Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring (c1665) and Rembrandt's intriguing The Anatomy Lesson of Dr Nicolaes Tulp (1632). 6. Groninger Museum The striking structure that occupied the three islands in the ring canal in front of the train station, Groninger Museum, is also another can't miss out spot. Within the museum, there is a scintillating mix of international artworks from throughout the ages. The architecture is the brainchild of Alessandro Mendini, who invited three of his fellow architects to each tackle a section. This explains why, to many, the museum has little consistency and appears thrown together on a whim. However, inside the museum, the bright, pastel colours add life to the exhibition halls, and natural light seeps in from all angles. 7. Lighthouse The iconic red-and-white banded lighthouse on Ameland's west end is open to the public and is 55m tall. The cast-iron structure can be climbed (236 steps) for expansive views over the entire island and across the Waddenzee. Exhibits on the way up explain the history of the lighthouse, and you can listen to digital stories by lighthouse keepers. The tulip is synonymous with the Netherlands, you have never visit the country if you didn't get surrounded by tulips! 8. Tulip Island The tulip island is a peninsula shaped in the form of a tulip extending from the coast of Zeewolde. Last September, Zeewolde local council had 150,000 tulip bulbs planted here, all of which are primed to bloom this coming spring . A marina has been created on the ‘island’, located in the Wolderwijd bordering lake, with space to accommodate up to eighty boats. Various amenities are currently being developed for visitors, which will include catering services and water sports facilities. 9. Texel Dunes National Park The patchwork of dune-scape running along the western coast of the island is a prime reason for visiting Texel. Salt fens and heath alternate with velvety, grass-covered dunes; plants endemic to the habitat include the dainty marsh orchid and orange-berried sea buckthorn. Netherlands is a truly unique and special place, and there's something for everyone to enjoy. Come and explore all that this amazing country has to offer!

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Parque de Cristina Enea Cristina Enea is a public park, in a key place in San Sebastian. It has become the axis of important facilities and urban and cultural developments, such as the Riberas de Loiola neighbourhood, with the Intermodal Bus and Renfe Station, the Tabakalera International Center for Contemporary Culture, Atotxa, the Palace of Justice, the School of Music, the Zuhaizti pools and the Environmental Resources Center located in the rehabilitated palace of the Duke of Mandas. 6. 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!

The Louvre The Louvre Museum is the world's largest art museum, housed in the Louvre Palace in Paris, France.

Spirited Away ⛩: Japan

Spirited Away ⛩: Japan

Travel Advisory: COVID-19 : Important notice for traveler Read more Japan is a country with a rich cultural heritage dating back centuries, which can be experienced by visitors through traditional arts, crafts, architecture, and cuisine, include calligraphy, origami, ikebana, and kimono and for sure, matcha and sushi. Japan is probably the easiest place to get around. You can do a whole trip using nothing but its immaculate, efficient public transport. The shinkansen (bullet train) network now runs all the way from the southern tip of Kyūshū (the southernmost of Japan's major islands) up to Hokkaidō (its northernmost), and reasonably priced rail passes make it affordable. Major cities have subway networks that are signposted in English and these days we're seeing and hearing more English all over. But if getting off the beaten track and outside your comfort zone is what you're after, you can have that experience, too. There are so many amazing places to visit in Japan! You could even spend a lifetime sampling the country’s delights, but some towns and sights are staples; core ingredients to any great Japan trip. Well, here’s few of the best places to visit in Japan: 1. Tokyo: Best for contemporary culture There's no place quite like Tokyo. It's a city forever reaching into the future, pushing the boundaries of what's possible on densely populated, earthquake-prone land, adding ever taller, sleeker structures. It's Japan's top spot for contemporary art and architecture, pop culture, shopping, drinking and entertainment (and a tie with Kyoto for dining). i. Ghibli Museum Ghibli Museum is the heart of the Studio Ghibli world, a beloved (even 'adored') film studio responsible for classic, critically-acclaimed animated titles like Spirited Away, My Neighbour Totoro, Ponyo and Princess Mononoke, among countless others. Unlike Disney World, this is a museum, not a theme park, but the levels of fandom on show are likely to be just as intense. ii. Shibuya Crossing Shibuya crossing is rumoured to be the busiest intersection in the world. With hundreds of people crossing at a time, it is a sight to see. To get the best vantage point, head to the Starbucks on the second level of the nearby QFRONT building and look down. iii. teamLab Borderless The teamLab Borderless Museum is an art museum like no other- where art and the viewer become one. With 60 different interactive artworks, this museum is a fantasy world come to life. From the Crystal World, to the Athletics Forest, teamLab Borderless Museum will never disappoints its audiences. But more than any one sight, it's the city itself that enchants visitors. It's a sprawling, organic thing, stretching as far as the eye can see. Always changing, and with a diverse collection of neighborhoods, no two experiences of it are ever the same. 2. Kyoto: Best for traditional experiences Kyoto, Japan's imperial capital for a thousand years, gained more than a thousand temples  including the monumental Kinkaku-ji and the meditative Ryōan-ji. Kyoto is also known for the culture of tea, the art of the geisha, and its rich food culture, including kaiseki. Despite Japan's overall modernization, many traditional arts and crafts are still alive in Kyoto. This is due in part to Kyoto's roots as the country's cultural capital. As such, wandering the streets downtown will reveal many historic shops selling traditional goods like tofu, washi (Japanese handmade paper), tea, lacquerware, chazutsu (tea canisters), and noren (hanging curtains). i. Fushimi Inari-Taisha Fushimi Inari is a vast shrine complex consisting of five shrines sprawled across the wooded slopes of Inari-san. It is one of Japan's most popular shrines and is the head shrine for some 40,000 Inari shrines scattered throughout the country. The walk around the upper precincts of the shrine is a pleasant day hike. It is also very eerie in the late afternoon and early evening when the various graveyards and miniature shrines along the path take on a mysterious air. ii. Nishiki Market Nishiki Market is a place where locals go to buy ingredients for Kyoto cuisine. It is narrow and can get crowded, so it is best to visit early or later in the afternoon. Many stores give out free samples, but it is considered impolite to eat while walking. You should also ask before taking pictures. iii. Arashiyama Bamboo Grove The bamboo grove is most atmospheric near Ōkōchi Sansō villa. Since the grove is free to enter, you can just chilling and take some pictures. If you prefer less crowded bamboo forest, remember to visit early in the morning or on a weekday. 3. Mt Fuji: Best for views and pilgrimages Mt Fuji is an incredibly beautiful and awe-inspiring mountain, especially when seen up close. The perfectly symmetrical cone-shape of the mountain is something that many people admire, and the views from the summit at dawn are simply magical. Every year, hundreds of thousands of people make the pilgrimage up the mountain as part of a centuries-old tradition. For those who don't want to make the climb up Mt Fuji, there are other less-daunting peaks nearby that offer just as spectacular views. Whether you're interested in exploring the country's natural beauty, learning about its fascinating culture, or simply indulging in its delicious food, Japan is sure to offer an unforgettable experience.

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!

The Most Visited Museum around the World

The Most Visited Museum around the World

Other than to preserve and exhibit historial or cultural valueable items, museums are one of the way to educate the public vividly, and it sounds good!  Feeling want to join the 2.9M people who visited Louvre even amidst of the pandamic? 1. Louvre The Louvre Museum is the world's largest art museum and a historic monument in Paris, France.  The museum is housed in the Louvre Palace, originally built as a fortress in the late 12th century under Philip II.
