A Day Walk in Shibuya

The Omotesando, Harajuku and Shibuya areas are a trend among young people

You feel young again when you are in this area, although I also look for places with different shades, maybe Meiji Jingu Temple, Yoyogi Garden or see the lanterns displayed around the place.


This area makes you feel so spoiled, you can find various places to eat, resto, cafe, art mural along the corridor wall connecting Yamanote train line and Inokashira line, and all the needs of fashion trend for young people, and there you see something special.


In addition to fashion, you also never miss a place to eat on "Cat Street", cafe lined up offering a variety of tempting menu, a hangout for tourists and young people from the city of Tokyo.

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!

Downtown Kyoto

The city is known to be the center of Japanese culture and art

Somehow I wanted to be downtown tonight, while the visits to temples, traditional villages, ancient buildings as well as ancient art areas can be on other occasions. Of course the mood of city festivity can not be equated with the capital, strolling around the downtown of bustling Kyoto, there's always a crowd of tourists here.


But the appeal of this city is different from what I know than Tokyo, although the hallmark of a big city with a row of big shopping centers, of course. They told me to also take time to enjoy the Arashiyama bamboo forest or to the Fushimi Inari Shrine temple.


To be honest I want to find their typical culinary, you can try tofu spice Yudofu, or maybe Uzumi Tofu, and also their Yatsuhashi sweet cake. There are many more, I will not mention all.

The heat of Las Vegas

The city in the middle of the desert

You need preparations prior to the Strip Place, downtown area, do not be hungry. Certainly. I'm fascinated by the atmosphere, the crowd, the lights, I do not have to mention the places, like you've been here.


Shopping spots all around you, everywhere. You'll find the crowd after dusk, the morning seems deserted, so daylight is better to find a shady place.


You're right as if you've been here, the city atmosphere that's always present in Hollywood movies. I like it.

A Stroll in Beverly Hills

Luxury place and famous for the movie circles

I can hardly imagine having been here, walking through every part of this luxurious area. You'll find a city in the west of Los Angeles, California.


Imagine if you were a movie star walking there with a row of super-luxury stores along the three blocks. Wow ... And I really enjoy the fresh moment along Rodeo Drive Boulevard.


How about a stopover, looking for just a breakfast in this beautiful morning?

A Day in Stocholm

Cities with distinctive characteristics and was not impressed as a metropolis

You'd better walk enjoying every corner of the city, not too crowded with traffic, the buildings here and there as a marker of a city.


But. Crowd angle can you accomplish around City Terminalen and Central Station, where there are many shopping malls, antique stores, bookstores, cafés, boutiques and restaurants scattered.


You can even see people enjoy the pleasure of the famous Swedish ice cream on the side streets. It was tempting!

Gold Coast Today

Area known as the fun capital of Australia

You feel the atmosphere, a kind of euphoria with white sandy beaches that stretch for tens of kilometers. Some theme park may tempt you, as well as areas favored among women, shopping belt.


Somehow I liked being in Surfers Paradise Beachfront Markets, shopping places that offer traditional local atmosphere. Then, you can feel the waves endlessly say 'hello', and everyone including the surfer fans wants to play in the vicinity.


But. You do not forget when it has been around, there is always a special culinary awaits. It was very tempting.

Shopping district must visit when you are in Melbourne

We've been here and maybe you present, just walk or may be looking for something, when the shops, boutiques, souvenir centers and places to eat in the region, somehow the travelers agree on this, especially for shoppers.


You will love the atmosphere, but something interesting is a street musician who plays a variety of music, from Pop, Rock, Spanish Flamenco, even the sound of Jazz music.


And they, these street musicians, along with the atmosphere around you, in warm evening in January, looks serious offer their own work records. Great!

Dam Square

The rectangular square area for the city residents to relax

I do not know how many times we were here, this time at the beginning of the year, at temperatures close to zero, but the atmosphere around is always fun, even those who agreed to enjoy it, even though the air around you is less friendly.

Area of the historical center of the city, about 750 meters from Amsterdam Centraal Station. Dam Square stretches about 200 meters from west to east and about 100 meters from north to south.


We are tempted, and always like that, look at shopping centers, restaurant and café, even if you will-want to join, here.

Christmas has arrived

The atmosphere has been felt since the last two-three weeks

So that can be seen in various places in the city, a shopping mall with Christmas trinkets, the excited faces of children with parents, even in residential areas.


The lights are a kind of spirit of excitement, shine in all directions carrying the scent of happiness. Indeed, this is the time of Christmas across the country, a warm Christmas.


Many ways to express excitement, and the lights, the lights can represent perfectly, not always with snow.

Merry Christmas Everybody!

The streets of Ho Chi Minh City

Public space is scattered in various corners of the city

I can feel comfortable about the aroma of this city, the green open spaces of the park are quite broad in the middle of town.


Spoiling the townspeople, and you can be present with me, although temperatures typical of tropical countries, warm. But, at every major intersection, made like a roundabout way that is also filled with plants.


Feel the unique thing, the city is always crowded with passing motorcycles, very much at certain times. And, that's the time to find locations that are preferred, shopping places like Ben Tanh Market.
