PARIS ON MY MIND

Image
It was a dream come true for me that finally I was able to visit this beautiful city! Paris has always been a dream place for me, I guess not only for me but for everybody.  My European tour will not be complete without including this place in my itinerary. It is a must visit place for me, and one of the places I have to see before I die. Paris is not just one of those places in the world where it doesn't matter how many times you visit, but as a first timer, to me it matters most! I have been dreaming about this place for long and you just can't imagine how happy I was when I am finally there. The overwhelming experience is indescribable and as soon as I get out of the train my heart almost fell on the ground because of excitement, either I conquer Paris of Paris conquers me! Paris' unwavering romantic vibe never seems to wear off from the buildings to the culture,  to the monuments, of course, the Eiffel Tower, Paris will always have a special pl

Belgium is not only known for its mouth- watering waffles and delectable chocolates, it is also known for its thousand brands of beers! Belgians drink an average of 88 liters of beer each year and most beers are bought or served in bottles rather on cans, and almost every style of beer has a distinct or unique style of bottle. each variety of beer has its own distinct serving glass Beer-making started in Belguim during the 12th century, and the first makers of beer are actually monks that lived in Trappist Monastery. The brewery is located inside the monastery and the monks play a role in its production. The beer they produced is called the Trappist beer.

POEMS FROM SANTORINI

I am not really a poetic guy, in fact I don't even know how to write poems. But since this island is so romantic, it gave me a lot of inspirations to write my own poems. The island of Santorini has captivated not only my heart but my soul as well and inspired me to write these poems. These poems are all about the things that best describe the island. SUNSET OF OIA you climbed so high to spread a light ruled the day with your shiny rays above the clouds you give a hope to people who have lost a faith the shiny rays that ruled the day goes down so fast to end the day as people flock to watch you bow you slowly hide behind the waves WAVES ever wonder why I walk the shore alone? for in my own I see you home remember when you said goodbye you wave your hand and turned your back I sat alone at the end of the shore hoping the waves would bring you home I know the waves won't stop you leave but

I finally got to attend the famous beer festival in the world, the Oktoberfest which only takes place in Munich Germany. It is a three long week of celebration where people drink from morning till evening. It is my first time to attend a big event like this so the excitement in me is overflowing, I know that this is gonna be fun so I was really looking forward to this. I am not really a beer drinker but my alcohol tolerance is quite high so I guess it will be put into test this time.  We arrived in Munich on the first week of the festival, as soon as we arrived there, without any rest, we immediately went to the Oktoberfest. We didn't mind the long travel, all we want is to be there on our first day in Germany. It seems that our bodies are longing for a drink, after all we came from a country where alcohol is strictly prohibited, so it
