WHY TOKYO'S RED LIGHT DISTRICT IS BETTER THAN AMSTERDAM

If you are looking a total adult entertainment, sure these two cities will offer you anything that will satisfy your carnal. Though they both offer the same kind of entertainment, I do feel that Tokyo's own red light district gives the total fun you are looking for! click here for related post I stayed in Shinjuku area during my three-day trip to Tokyo. I thought I stayed too far from city center, but in the end, I thought I just made the right decision. I booked my hostel there because it is the nearest accommodation to the place I am looking for. As soon as I get out of the train station, I didn't know what to expect in this area. I even got lost while looking for my hostel because I got confused with the direction. Good thing I got a help from two teenage  Japanese whom I bumped while walking. With a little knowledge of English, it is quite hard to ask direction with the Japanese people. Luckily when I showed the address, they were able to find it through GPS.

ISTANBUL FOR FREE

Having visited this city twice, it is impossible not to fall in love with this magical city! Lies between two continents, where east meets west, to me, Istanbul is one of the world's culturally interesting city. It's the fascinating mix of cultures that makes this city irresistible,  the arts and architecture; the local life; culinary heritage and the living history that are rolled into one.  Istanbul is one of the best cities in the world where you can enjoy exploring if it is just for one day. And going around the city doesn't necessarily requires you to spend much for you to have a pleasant time. If you plan to stay in Istanbul for a day or two, consider finding an accommodation around Sultanahmet, it is here where most of the important landmarks are located. It is the cultural area of Istanbul where historical landmarks are just walking distance from each other.  So here are some of the attractions where you can spend a day visiting them without h

I always imagined myself that one day I get the chance to be transported in a different era, or in a place somewhat out of this world or a place where it could only exist in fairy tale books.  Sometimes, we see photos of places that we are not sure if they really exist, or if they were just a product of photo manipulation. We can only believe if these places are real unless we see them personally. Japan has a lot of places that would stun you and leave you speechless. Places that you won't really believe they existed.  Gifted with natural beauty, surely these places will leave you breathless. Kyoto is one of the popular destinations in Japan. It is a city of thousand temples, shrines and gardens. With more than one thousand years of history, it is the best place to enjoy nature be it in winter, spring, summer or fall. During my visit in November, Kyoto gave me the best travel  experience. The colors of autumn made Kyoto the picture perfect destination. Walking unde

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do"- H. Jackson Brown Though I thought I should have started traveling during my late twenties, but still it was never too late for me to see the world. They said that you will never know unless you tried.  Most of us dream of traveling around the world, go to different places and search for an adventure, try new things that you haven't tried. but the question is when are you going to do these? Many of us are afraid of going out of our comfort zones, some are hesitant in taking risks, while others think that traveling is dangerous. I'm glad that while I am strong and able to do things, and have the opportunity,  of course, I took all the advantages to make my dreams come true.  While others focus on work, work, work and make more money, they don't realize what they are missing in life.  Well, we have different views in life and I a
