Rome, Italy, Europe

Rome, Italy

Roma caput mundi (Rome, the head of the world)

by Vincenzo Mele

History

Rome was found in 753 B.C. , where the river Tiber flows into the Tyrrhenian Sea. This made it  a very important communication node. It is also shielded from the Apennines mountains, making the climate very good.
These facts convinced the first shepherds and traders to establish himself in Rome. Then, thanks to an impressive military force, Rome expands its territory, from Italy to Europe, Africa and Asia (America had not been discovered yet !).

Since 1870  Rome is the capital of Italy, having a population of about 3 millions.


Be aware.
 When you arrive in Rome, landing at Fiumicino airport (or Ciampino airport) ,  a lot of people will ask you to drive you to the city center. TAKE ONLY A REGULAR TAXI  (white car) . The cost of transportation from airport IS FIXED and is written on the door of the car.

What to see
Rome has too many thinks to see. It's impossible to see all, also if you stay long time. So it's better to plan where to go, discarding other thinks to be saw next time.

Following list show  neighboring sites. It  will help you to save time:

1 Colosseo  (Colosseum) ,  Foro Romano , Chiesa di San Pietro in Vincoli (this Church is not the more known San Peter Basilica (= big Church) in Vatican city)

2 San Peter Basilica , Cappella Sistina and Musei Vaticani

3 Piazza Navona

4 Trastevere, where you can eat well and cheaply .

Rome has a lot of churches. Inside each you can find almost  always pictures, statues , etc of very important artists.

Parks
Most important Rome parks are:

1 Villa Borghese, near to famous via Veneto. Inside there is the Museo Borghese, with the statue of Paolina Borghere (sister of Napoleon)

2 Villa Ada

3 Villa Doria- Panphili


Transportation
One of the bad aspects of Rome are public transportation

Chiang Mai, Thailand

Chiang Mai, Thailand  - Southeast Asia

The Northern Thailand Gateway City

By Mark Tartano

Chiang Mai is the former capitol of the Lanna Kingdom and is situated in the Northern part of Thailand nearly 700 km from Bangkok. It is the capital of Chiang Mai province and is rich in historical sites with many Wats (temples) being several hundred years old. The old city area, which is located inside the walled moat area has so many Wats that you literally cannot walk for more than a few minutes without passing one. The most famous are Wat Chedi Leung, Wat Phra Singh and the oldest, Wat Chiang Man, which is more than seven hundred years old.

There are many transport options in Chiang Mai with an International Airport for both Domestic and International flights. Domestic flights to destinations such as Bangkok and Phuket are around $60 one way making it an inexpensive way to travel quickly. The Airport is modern and easy to get to with taxi, songtaew and tuk-tuk’s readily available. Chiang Mai has a Train station with several daily trains between Bangkok and Chiang Mai. There are seated and sleeper coaches and a sleeper starts from $35. The Bus is also an inexpensive transportation option with Minibus, VIP and 1st Class buses available to most destinations from the main Arcade bus terminal located near the Superhighway. There are also other bus operators that can be booked from the many tour offices around the city. They are a favorite of the many backpackers because they pick the passengers up and take them to the bus pickup point and cost less than $20 to travel to Bangkok.

Tourism is a major industry in Chiang Mai and there has been a huge and ongoing development of accommodation. This has been good as the quality of accommodation has increased but particularly in the old city area, it has led to more expensive guest house and dorm rooms. There are still cheap accommodation options available with prices starting at only $4 or $5 a night. There are many better-appointed rooms from $10 to $20 and quality accommodations start above this price.

The food available in and around the city is outstanding. There are food stalls on many streets offering everything from noodles to barbequed meat stick and the spicy Chiang Mai sausage. A typical street food meal generally costs less

Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates,

Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, Asia

By A.T.H. Webber

When we were first asked to move to Abu Dhabi, I don’t think I could have pointed to it on a map, all I knew what that it was somewhere near Dubai.

My first surprise was in finding out that Abu Dhabi is actually the capital of the UAE, and is just one of seven emirates that combined in 1971 to from what is now known as the United Arab Emirates.

Even though I still find myself having to revert to “it’s near Dubai” when describing to people where I live.  I kind of like that it isn’t Dubai. Not that there is anything wrong with the emirate next door, it’s just that Abu Dhabi has a charm and a subtlety that Dubai doesn’t.

Why?

It’s hard to put my finger on, other than to say I just prefer the pace of life in Abu Dhabi.

Crime:
There isn’t any. Obviously it pays to be diligent when travelling, but this is not the kind of place that is big on muggings, or fraudulent behaviour, only a little bit of street smarts is all you need. And you barely need that.

Taxis:
Cheap. Really cheap. The drivers do work hard though, and while it isn’t expected – tipping is gratefully accepted.

Buses:
There are a heap of busses that cover the island and out into the greater emirate of Abu Dhabi, and they are so cheap it makes one wonder how they can afford to stay on the road. BUT they don’t often go where you want them too, and the drivers don’t often have the gift of great English. They are friendly enough, but often embarrassed by their lack of knowledge, so are likely to answer yes to any question.

Accommodation:
Everywhere. There are literally hotels all over the place, but it’s hard to find a cheap and cheerful one if you are on a tight budget. They are around though, and worth checking booking sites for the best deals around. At the upper end of the scale, there’s Emirates Palace (7 star hotel, coffee served with a dusting of gold leaf – I am not kidding), but also consider the other end of the island for places like the Shangri-La or Fairmont bab al Bahr. The Rotana group also have hotels dotted about the place. Be aware that some of them are non-alcohol (or “dry”) so check at the time of booking.

Food:
You name it, and it is probably here. I’ll mention a couple of favourites later, but you can get just about every cuisine on the planet. Just pick a country, and there’s a restaurant dedicated to it.

Driving:
So you want to hire a car? Be the master of your own day? Go right ahead, but be aware that the roads here are dangerous, and the drivers can be quite aggressive. The one thing you must never do is decide to educate the guy who just drove across 3 lanes of traffic to drive

Jakarta, Indonesia

Jakarta, Indonesia,  Southeast Asia

By. Tyara P Hansel

The City
As a capital city of Indonesia, Jakarta sure has a lot of interesting to offer. Whether you’re an
adventurous traveler, party traveler or just looking for a new destination or your next family holiday, you will always find anything you want in the city. Jakarta is divided into five areas; Central Jakarta, West Jakarta, South Jakarta, East Jakarta and North Jakarta. Each area has its own uniqueness. Central Jakarta is popular for its business district, but it has also abundant of historical sites and museums. South Jakarta is possibly the hippest area of the city with numerous shopping centers (Pondok Indah Mall, Plaza Senayan, Senayan City, Lippo Mall Kemang and Lippo Mall Kemang –just to name a few), restaurants, bars and interesting hang out spots.

If you love some outdoor or aquatic activities, North Jakarta is the best place. From Ancol, you can take a boat ride to some beautiful islands of the city. Yes, you read that right. Jakarta has several islands that worth the visit, it’s called Kepulauan Seribu (Thousand Island), with many islands to discover including Tiger Island, Pramuka Island, Pari Island, and Tidung Island. If you’re looking for a nice object to shoot, spend a day at Taman Mini Indonesia Indah –a miniature of the archipelago- in East Jakarta, or if you want to shop for more, take a cab to two humongous malls in West Jakarta: Mall Taman Anggrek and Central Park, I’m pretty sure you won’t leave the mall empty handed.

The Food
If food is your main concern, then you can relax. The city has a wide range of food available for every pocket –from modest street hawkers to an exclusive fine dining restaurant, so you’ll be good. If you don’t have sensitive stomach, you can try some of the low budget streetside food stalls, as they offer local dishes in a very affordable price. Soto Betawi (coconut milk soup with gravy, mixed beef, lungs, liver, tripe and celery, usually served with rice and emping crackers), Kerak Telor (traditional spicy omelette dish made from glutinous rice cooked with egg and served with fried shredded coconut, fried shallots and dried shrimp topping), Nasi Gila (sausage, chicken, meatballs and lamb ladled liberally
over white rice and garnised with a handful of crackers) and Gado Gado (traditional salad consist of vegetables, tofu, potatoes and peanut sauce dressing) are a must-try. Or else, you can just point at any international restaurant in the city –from Chinese, German, Korean, Thai, American, French, Middle Eastern, Indian to Japanese food, Jakarta got it cover. One thing though, never drink the tap water anywhere.

The People
People are mixed, some are nice and friendly, and

Taichung, Taiwan

Taichung, Taiwan, Asia

By Lianne Choo

Taichung: Taiwan’s Third Largest Jewel
Explore a world of food, culture and nature.

Taichung is the third largest city in Taiwan and is a jewel that many tend to overlook. Stay off the
beaten path and shrug aside the more obvious travel choice of Taipei and head further south to discover Taichung’s endless array of food, culture and nature. With a mix of luxury condos and colonial buildings, Taichung is a brilliant collision of old and new.

One of the things that Taichung is most famous for is bubble tea. Bubble tea is said to have been created at the original Chun Shui Tang teahouse so whether you are a fan of bubble tea, you have to make the effort to head over just so you can say that you had the ‘world’s original’ bubble tea.

Something else to experience in Taichung would have to be a night market. Head to the Feng Chia night market, the largest of its kind in Taichung. Stretching over several blocks, you are in for a real sensory treat. Must-try foods are Taiwan’s famous popcorn fried chicken, chicken chop, fried squid, stuffed chicken wings, stinky tofu, and grilled sausages.

One of Taichung’s main attractions is its maze of streets. Comprising of endless restaurants, auto garages, bars, and boutiques, Taichung offers visitors a vibe that closely resembles that of Japan. That being said, Taichung residents have a love for karaoke and these singing parlors are abundant in the city. Taichung is not well known for its nightlife and many say that clubbing is almost non-existent. However, all Taichung residents need to have a good time is a microphone and some cheesy music and they are all set to enjoy the rest of the night.

When navigating the narrow streets, beware of impatient scooters as they are known for paying zero
attention to their surroundings. The rule of thumb is to look out for them because they certainly are not going to look out for you. Collisions are common and are usually settled quickly without the interference of the police. Scooters are the main form of transportation for most Taichung residents although many others opt to drive or take the bus, which is an extremely efficient form of public transport. Visitors are advised to rent a car as this will give them the chance to explore Taichung’s myriad of natural wonders located outside the city centre.

Dakeng Scenic Area is the closest form of nature available to the Taichung urbanites.  Located 30 minutes away, visitors can enjoy hiking, biking and camping. Although it can get rather busy over the weekends, it remains pristine and perfectly maintained.

At the end of the day, one of the best things about Taichung is its people. Even though many do not speak English, they will try their level best to help tourists out, making Taichung one of the nicest and friendliest places in the world to visit.

Singapore, Republic of Singapore

Singapore, Pearl of Asia

By Siny Sebastian

Enter the realm of the Lion city and you are sure to be enthralled by the beautiful sights that this wonderful and vibrant country is proud to show the world. The enchanted metropolitan island city with its diversified cultures, cuisines and vivacious night life has been able to charm and allure multitudes of modern globetrotter to its shore.
One of the most remarkable features of this island country is that it has been able to constitute 50 % of its area with greenery along with modern sky touching scrapers and subways. In spite of being one of the most densely populated countries, it still has 50 major parks and 4 national reserves within the small area and for this reason it is called the Garden City.
A look back into the history tells how the country got its name from the Malay word “Singapura”. According to the legend, Sang Nila Utama, a Srivijayan prince, landed on the island and, catching sight of a strange creature that he thought was a lion, decided to found a new city and thus “Singapura” or the “Lion City” was born.
Tourism is a major industry in Singapore and therefore we readily accept and seize any new and future oriented trends in leisure and entertainments. As a result of which, tourists consider Singapore as a place which is always full of fresh and new surprises and as a place worthy of repeat visits.
The diversity that the country offers in terms of religion, language, cultures are unparalleled when compared to its size. Tourists are able to communicate easily with the local people since English is one of the main languages along with Chinese, Malay and Tamil. Due to multiculturalism, there is no single set of culturally acceptable behavior.  People are of friendly nature and it is not uncommon to see shopkeepers and customers of multiple races engaging in animated conversations.

Singaporean food cuisine is touted as the potpourri of all cuisines. Food in particular is a steal, since
there is an extensive array of mouth - watering cuisines to satisfy every palate. The legendary hawker centers and coffee houses are open 24/7 and furthermore it is possible to relish these excellent hawker foods for under $5 for a generous serving. It is a paradise for the food lovers since they can try the local favorites like Laksa, roti prata or Chilli Crab or indulge in the international cuisines like Mexican, South East Asian, American, European and Middle Eastern cuisine in this clean city.  International fast food joints such as McDonald’s, KFC can also be seen in most of the shopping malls and is very much visible throughout the region.
Due to the excellent public transport system, it’s very much easy to move around the region. Most of the citizens travel by using bus, train and taxis. Train mode consists of both MRT and LRT. Taxis are also

Pokhara City, Nepal

Pokhara City, Nepal, Asia

by Suman Ojha

Pokhara is the most beautiful city of country Nepal. It is a valley bounded by gorgeous green hills.
Within the valley also, there are little hills which culminate the beauty of the city. Beyond the surrounding hills are the snow-white mountains that can be seen from several parts of the city and more vividly from top of the nearby hills. Pokhara is a little heaven on a small land.

Nature has blessed the city with a number of bounties. It is also called city of Lakes. There are several lakes within the valley among which
Fewa Lake and Begnas lake have been the heart of the city. In addition, there are several adventurous caves like Mahendra Cave, Bats’ Cave and Gupteshower Cave. Devi’s Fall is another interesting and should-be-visited aspect of Pokhara. This is not the end, Seti River which flows through the heart of the city is well known for the George structures it has created through the path. These are only the natural gifts of the city; besides, there are several culturally and religiously valuable assets as well. World Peace Pagoda (at the top of hill surrounding Fewa Lake), Matepani Gumpa and Bindabasini Temple are other important cultural places for tourists.
A lot of opportunities are also available for adventurous people. If one wishes to see the whole valley in a glance, s/he might go to Sarankot Hill. It’s a tall hill on the western side of Pokhara valley from where you can get a telescope to view the every detail of the city. Moreover, you can do Paragliding over the Fewa Lake and in the sky above the city to enjoy the all round beauty. If this doesn’t satisfy you, then experiencing the world's steepest, fastest and tallest Zip Line will be waiting for you to give the ultimate thrill.
If tourists happen to visit around the New Year (January 1), they become lucky to experience Street Festival at the Lake Side (area near Fewa Lake). During this festival, Lake Side glows in light for the whole night. Moreover, during the time of October and November, tourists can see people celebrating Dashain (the greatest festival of Hindus). The festival runs for 10 days and all the people throughout the country celebrate this festival regardless of their religion. People take ‘tika’ on their forehead and blessings from their elders. Relatives living far away meet together on the occasion of Dashain festival and share their happiness and sorrows. Similarly, Holi is another exciting festival that is celebrated here. In this festival, people play by throwing colored powders on each other. It is believed as a celebration of victory of divine over the devil in the ancient past.
Tourists can move from one place to another within the city in public buses. However, if they have enough money, taxis can be easily available to them. In addition, they can hire a cycle for short rides and bike for long distance tours.
Another interesting speciality of Pokhara is Rainfall. It is the city that has the highest rainfall record throughout the country. Monsoon season is the best time to visit Pokhara for rain lovers. However, it can be annoying if the days become cloudy and one doesn’t get chance to get the view of bright mountains. Also, heavy rainfall might be unfavorable if one is planning to do boating. Yet, if you are fond of rafting, this is the best time for you.

These were only a few things about Pokhara city. No absolute beauty can be described in words, since it lies in the eyes of the beholder. So, visit Pokhara city and explore its immense beauty and hidden treasures.

Quezon City, Philippines

Quezon City, Philippines

Picture By: http://mw2.google.com/mw-panoramio/photos/medium/7173205.jpg

Quezon City – popularly known as “QC” to the locals – is one of the most vibrant spots in the Philippines. As the country’s former capital (and the richest city in the RP), QC serves as an excellent portal to tourists who want to enjoy a cultural, gastronomical and retail experience unlike any other.

Tourist Attractions

Despite being highly commercialized, there are many historical tourist spots that QC has to offer. One is the QC Memorial Circle – a national park which – you got it right – is shaped like an ellipse. Its shining beacon is a tall mausoleum which houses the remains of former President Manuel Quezon, whom the city was named after.
Surrounding the mausoleum are a number of jogging paths and playgrounds, which double as event and concert centers as well. Every weekend, events are held in the park, making it the ‘place to be’ for locals and tourists looking for a fun time.

Transportation

Getting by in QC is easy with the many modes of public transportations available. A tourist can roam the city by riding any of its trains – LRT 1, LRT 2 or MRT – or by taking any of the bus routes. Local jeepneys are available for short rides as well. But since it can get very humid in QC, a recommended alternative is the air-conditioned FX. Or – if you have money to spend – ride a taxi!
Word to the wise though: mind your belongings and be alert!

Dining

Whatever cuisine you are in the mood for – QC has the restaurant that can cater to your gastronomic gustos. Famous haunts for foodies include the Timog and Tomas Morato areas – wherein every nook and cranny is littered with affordable to high-end restos.

Partying

If you are in the mood for clubbing and partying all night long, then QC is the place for you. Apart from being home to great restaurants, the Timog and Tomas Morato areas are also dotted with hot and happening clubs. Eastwood City – which is right at the brink of QC and Pasig City – is another hub for partygoers.

Shopping

Shopping is ‘more fun in the Philippines,’ especially in QC. It plays home to a number of major shopping malls, including SM City North Edsa, which is the largest mall in Southeast Asia. Adjacent to it is Trinoma, another spacious haven for shoppers.
Other fabulous shopping centers in the QC are Gateway, SM Centerpoint, SM Fairview and Eastwood Mall, to name a few.
True enough, QC is a must-visit place for any tourist who wishes to immerse in the rich culture of the Philippines. With its noteworthy tourist spots, fab hangouts and friendly people, a visit to QC will surely be hard to forget!

Karachi – The City Of Lights


By Ansab Khan


Karachi, a city of Pakistan, East Asia, is one of greatest cities of the world. It is highly population density city having over 20 million people not only from within the country but also from other countries such, Afghanistan, Bangladesh and other adjacent countries. Karachi is capital of Sind province, and it is hub for the people of Pakistan where everyone is warmly welcomed. Usually people come from across the country to find job, as Karachi is heaven for commercial purposes, having international airport and Ports.


Its summer time, and if you are planning to take tour in Karachi, this is right time and right choice for you, as Karachi is situated near sea which makes the climate moderate in every season.
Karachi is heaven for tourist, and believe me if you heard someone saying that he has visited the entire Karachi, then he is laying. They are so many attractions for tourist such beaches, parks, museums, Historic places[list] and buildings, entertainments and many more, you can keep counting.
One interesting thing you will find in Karachi is bike and biker, this is the only thing that you can enjoy and avoid as well. how you can enjoy is biking skills of youngsters, the way they ride bike is noticeable but it is dangerous too because rush of traffic but these guys have not fear and worries about anything when they start the bike, they forget everything and enjoy their ride which causes crucial accidents on daily basis.


Besides this, the funniest part of Karachi transportation is public transport which includes Rickshaw, Ching Chi, Buses, and Mini Buses. They are highly decorated and the funny quotes, saying and one liner written on them are epic, if you know local language, you would really enjoy them. I’m quoting some for you with English translations. “Maa ki Dua, Jannat Ki Hawa”, (Mother’s Prayer, Heaven’s Air), Sharmeeli Nagin (this is really tough for me, Sharmeeli mean Shy and Nagin mean Female Snake, Shy Female Snake, and now imagine this is written on slow paced bus driving exactly before, how would be feel…) “Dekh Magar Pyar Say” (Watch But with Love) and the last but not the least, “Himmat Hay Cross Kar, Warna Bardasht Kar”, (Cross, if you have courage, otherwise tolerate.)


There are several food streets in Karachi, in North Nazimabad, Hussainabad, Burns Roads, Boat Beson, and Do Darya etc which have local and international restaurant. The most famous foods are biryani, nihari, haleem, Karhai and barbecue. You also have international cuisine such as Arab, Japanese, Italian, Chinese, South Indian, and Korean etc. there is one another thing that is Pathans’ Tea Stalls and shops on every corner, normally youngsters spend their weekend nights on tea stall having chit chat with hot tea. There are load of tea shops but one famous is Café Piyala near Gulberg, you must visit once.


Karachi is the fun and people loving city, accommodate every kind of people. You can have food with minimal or no amount. Although it is good point of attraction for tourists nevertheless tourism is reduced drastically because the unrest and uncertain situation in Karachi. General Election has been held in Pakistan, it is hoped that this will be effective positively the situation overall.
