Ginza in the Afternoon

Entering the year-end days in downtown Tokyo





Cool air around 8-10 degrees Celsius, you have to run fast so as not too cold. The lights of a row of shops have started greeting along, and soon looked more festive.


You may be spending as much or just walking, always fast. And celebration into the new year will make it hot.


And, believe me, there are places where delicious Japanese cuisine awaits at the end of the road.

Marie Antoinette's Hamlet

A quiet place in Versaille, the ranch of Marie Antoinette



I did a vacation to Paris, but I know need to set aside some time to this place, like forgotten. Enchanting place that silence me.


Excitement in Paris, visit the Avenue des Champs-Élysées or to the Sacre Coeur, even other eating places.


The town is always tempting with a Christmas market, and a quiet place in Versaille ranch, ducks swimming in the water, the river is like a mirror that carries the impression to me.

Christmas market in Paris

The Christmas atmosphere gives a different color in Paris



Christmas market in Champs-Elysée

No no! This is not Paris Fashion Week, which could meet in the mainstream news media some time ago, Parisians have prepared themselves for anything else.

This time, the Christmas market was busy with passing townspeople in the Champs-Elysée, and I entertained with those long legs booth.

Rows of shops and faint Christmas carols around me, and I thought this ‘Magic Cake’ and a cup of coffee can be pleasing.

Germany, it's Christmas

Sparkling Christmas lights adorn the land of Germany



You will find various Christmas activities, cities decorate diverse corners of the city. Christmas lights surround you.


Country enthusiastic welcome the tradition, the children waiting their Christmas cake, the hubbub of the steam train journey like the story of “Charlie and the Chocolate”.


On the other hand you'll smile when Saint Nicholas handing out chocolate to children, all happy face.

Costume feast in Tokyo

Today rousing young age audiences along with a fictional character



They were enthusiastic despite the long wait, but the figures have yet to appear on the stage. Sounds typical of young children chattering with their friends.


When the "Robotron" figures entering the stage, there are still other figures, zombie figures, the royal princess, Sailormoon and others, you immediately know, unbridled excitement again.


Young people always have a way to enjoy their days in the big city.

This Iguazu Falls

Stunning waterfalls located on the River Iguazu



They probably already know about the Niagara Falls, but when I myself stand here, this Iguazu Falls is very spectacular.

On the border of the state of Parana in Brazil and the province of Misiónes in Argentina with a flow capacity is more than 3 times that of Niagara Falls.

It stretches miles long and if we are talking about photography composition this one is not easy.

They, the locals told me the beautiful coastal region as 'costiera amalfitana'. Keep walking, you will find the beauty in Positano.


Enjoy a typical drink, Limoncello, an alcoholic beverage made of citron. And, I love that.


Walk around the time of sunset, and it was really lovely looking little houses in the distance to the foothills.

Notting Hill

Directly on the bookstore location in the film "Notting Hill" in 1999



Ah, you must remember this romantic comedy movie begins in a bookstore, Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant, a story that might confuse between an ordinary person with a famous movie star. But, cool!


This time I found the bookstore, was immediately there. And, it is an opportunity for anyone who stopped in this region.


Many are sold around the region, glassware, books, maps, household, cakes, fresh fruits etc and all at a price that is quite friendly on the pocket. I think you'll like it.

Jacaranda in Melville

The purple leaves in the suburb of Melville



My friends asked me, is this real? True color? This is the right time to see it in October or November.
You will enjoy it for a few weeks, and it was a sunny afternoon with a pleasant atmosphere.

But. By evening will change, I do not recommended for a night out. You do not want to know, they said it would be dangerous. Just like that.

Last Nite in Paris

A Night in the romantic city



Forget naming streets in this town, perhaps to the famous tower, the beautiful lights flickering glare. But you can choose other places to walk.


Walking toward the Trocadero and the crowds around you, there are other charms and enjoy your surroundings.


But. I always liked the atmosphere of a warm dinner and fun, along with a bowl of ice cream or hot tea.
