Busy City of Barcelona

They say this is a city that never sleeps

The city is the concern of major media in various countries, I think this must be about Catalonia. On the other hand Barcelona is attracting attention, although people know the warmth of this city with its architectural design, especially the works of Gaudi, colors and mosaics that you will love.


You should be on the lively streets of Ramblas with pedestrians and places where entertainment is presented, a row of cafes offering drinks and food. But be prepared to pay quite expensive.


I enjoy the splendor of the Sagrada Familia, the fairy tale in the long aisle of Parque Güell, and many other places await, but provide time during the day to enjoy tapas and fried little squid, chipirones. Delicious!

Autumn at Adams

An afternoon in a town in Massachusetts

A journey in the day time before the afternoon, but I was amazed to see the atmosphere at Adams, this exotic autumn in this town. In fact I wanted to get out of the car and see myself in person.


The coloring leaves are tempting, reminiscent of an old song, "The Autumn Leaves," so romantic and memorable. The leaves are falling gently as if to greet you.


I will not miss a cup of coffee in the afternoon in the city center. You will agree, isn't it?

Still in the second week of October is a bustling season of activities around Melbourne's city center every weekend in promotional activities. You can see them confidently to introduce the cultural celebration of the Diwali Festival which means 'the line of light'.

One of the greatest celebrations in Hindu beliefs every autumn in the world where there is an Indian community, then known as the Festival of Light. As a symbol of victory over the darkness that is celebrated for five days.


You will feel the scent of light in this event, say from candles, lanterns and fireworks, and of course there are food and mithai special cakes, even buying new clothes.

While in Prague - 2

A city with uniqueness of classical buildings from various eras, gothic, baroque, renaissance, art nouveau

As in the note in the first part, the classic buildings in the middle of town, and romantic atmosphere can dope you. Beauty from an era in the past, from Prague's Station, you soon meet Municipal House, North Powder Tower, State Opera Hall, and Palladium.


Elsewhere, say on the Old Town side, you can walk through the Royal Road to Staromestke Namesti with a right-to-right view of the store in rows. You see some kind of local food on offer, maybe one day you can try.


One looked rushed, and I followed up to Charles Bridge, always fun to this place, the bridge that became the icon of Prague that divides the river Vlatva. And, Prague Castle in the distance looks so quiet.
