Japan, Every Leaf is a Flower

A beautiful autumn season in a colorful country



You will see all the colored, even beautifully colored leaves in my journey in Eikan-dō Zenrin-ji. The heart is flowery, especially when the afternoon sunlight on the leaves, adds beauty, bright and sparkly.


The lucky trip with the right time to visit, the supportive weather does not rain at Lake Kawaguchi and witness the splendor of Mount Fuji from Hikari 515 to Kyoto, that's the right moment to take some interesting photos.


Its worth climbing 498 steps to the pagoda, half climbing done with blazing colours of maple leaves on both sides. Total 15 minutes walk from the train station. O, Thank God for another fine day.

Chiang Kai Shek Memorial

A mandatory destination to visit on a trip to Taiwan



You may like to shop anywhere in the tourist area, and Taipei can be one of the destinations to visit. Say one of them you can go to Zhongxiao shopping area, three shopping centers together Sogo and Breeze Center.


But. The choice to travel to the famous tomb of the founding fathers of this country is worthy of consideration, the father of the nation of Taiwan. Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall is a place of honor for former leaders of the country.


You are also worth considering the culinary offerings of this country, such as Shilin Night Market, and enjoy their typical food and snacks of fried chicken, grilled seafood, traditional cakes and shaved ice with fruit slices.

A Day at the Panthéon

A trip to Paris with all the uniqueness of its neo-classical building architecture



I'm just one of the visitors to this place, apart from other famous buildings, such as the Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower and the legendary Louvre Museum.


Today I go to Panthéon which means “House of All Gods”, originally a temple of worship of goddesses in Roman times, now a church and tomb of some famous French people, say Renaissance painter, Raphael.


You can feel different atmospheres, monuments and sculptures and carvings that are created with high artistic value.

Koblenz, Meeting of Two Rivers

A town in the cool, clean and tiny country of Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany



You can enjoy a natural charm, Deutsches Eck, a tip of Germany land that is a cape that limits the Rhine and Mosel River by passing ships, and this journey is not complete if not yet to Burg Eltz Castle which holds many stories.


No need to get too far from the train station, you'll find the center of the crowd, the row of shops and eating places. In fact you will meet a mall, Löhr Center, and a large church called Liebfrauenkirche.


You can satisfy yourself to one of the typical German food centers, as well as to the Zentralplatz that keeps track of the past.
