<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mr. Hafiz is a very
informative and knowledgeable person. Before the tour, he briefed us on the
species and how this <b>non-synchronous species of firefly</b> (contrary to the <b>Kuala
Selangor firefly</b> in which male and female light up at same time and also at
same frequency) communicate with the help of some chemical in their body, and
how badly light pollution can disturb their population. During the tour we were
totally amazed to see how the fireflies come from the mangrove onto the boat
when Hafiz was mimicking their communication signaling with his torches and
hand motions. Again he sent back them off the boat with some emergency signal.
It was really once in a life time experience when some mangrove trees suddenly
lit up under his command, and the blinking lights came directly towards us.
Well, you can not use your camera during this tour (even without the camera
flash) because that would distract the fireflies, and also affect their natural
mating behavior. So just sit back, relax and capture the moment in your memory.
While returning, it was high tide and we had to literally lie down in the boat
to save our head from crashing in the small bridge.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
When you think of <b>heritage in Malaysia</b> or if you want to get
the real feel of Malaysia, two places come in mind; Penang and Malacca. Both
are famous historical states of Malaysia.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Penang is one of the artistic places I have ever been. We (8
friends) booked a car for 3 days tour to Penang. Must say the journey was very
tiring because it took 9 hours for us to reach there including few stops we
made while driving. That was a long weekend and for that reason we faced
terrible traffic till IPOH. So, while returning back we took toll free road
which was indeed very nice and no traffic at all. In fact, the whole road was
full of greenery. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
We booked Hutton Lodge in Georgetown. It was a tough decision to decide <b>where to stay in Penang</b>, <b>Batu Feringhi vs Georgetown</b>. Then at last we finalised on Georgetown. You must be careful if
you go by car because there are many one ways in Georgetown. The lodge was
really better-quality than what we expected in such a budget hotel. The rooms
were very well maintained and the shared toilets were very clean and every
necessary things were available. Free Wifi was accessible from lobby and even
from the room. Complimentary breakfast was also provided by them and unlimited
times of tea or coffee.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Next morning, after breakfast, we went to one of the famous
attractions in Penang, the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Penang Hill</b>.
The train ride to reach there was very amazing and you will get the best view
if you sit at last while going up. That day, fog covered the place entirely. The
view was very beautiful from top. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
From there we went to the famous Buddhist temple, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Kek Lok Si </b>in Air Itam<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b>which has the very impressive Pagoda of
Rama VI (opened in 1930). The Pagoda is one of the largest of its kind in whole
Malaysia. It also contains attractive garden and a sacred turtle pond. We
stayed there for some time and enjoyed the peaceful environment.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Then while coming down from the temple we found a good
Chinese restaurant to have lunch. I tried Penang Asam Laksa for the first time
and it’s good. After lunch, we roamed around the place and all of us shopped a
lot. You can buy the Penang’s well-known Tambun biscuit from there. You can
also get the handicrafts at cheaper price than KL Central Market. The
shopkeepers are very well behaved and one can negotiate a lot on the items. The
best buy was the street art magnets (10RM for 10).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
After that, we went back to Georgetown and parked our car.
Our next target was to walk and view all the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">street arts</b>. While we started walking we found beautiful rickshaws.
So, we booked rickshaw (1hr 40 RM) and I must say it was worth the value. You
can take a walk also. I personally experienced the best street arts ever and
all the arts were so very beautiful and alive. Then the rickshaw driver took us
to the watch tower and then the town hall.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We had some snacks near the sea side area and then headed to find the
<b>best sea food restaurant in Penang</b>. Finally, we found the Restaurant<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> Teluk Kumber </b>but a huge crowd was there. It was around
7pm. We waited for around 15-20 minutes and then we had lovely fishes (Tilapia,
Pomfret, Shells) with rice and Chinese Tea. After food, we spent some time in
the beach and then came back to the hotel.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
We did not feel too sleepy and decided to go for a long drive. So, we
went to <b>Batu Feringgi</b> and it was 10pm almost, very dark. We did not get down in
the beach there and just drove. We were passing by a hill area and forest on a
side. It was very exciting and adventurous. We thought we could find some
animals but didn’t find any. After around 30km we found that we reached
Georgetown. We didn’t have to take a u-turn and come back. We all liked the
trip very much. We said enough for today and went to sleep.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Next day morning we again had our wonderful breakfast and
started our journey to Gurney drive. The beach was good. Then we went to view
the largest Sleeping Buddha nearby. There was also a very nice temple on the
other side. We went to Batu Firinggi again and relaxed for some time in the
beach. We found many monitor lizards of different sizes in one place. We had

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Long time we did not visit any beach in Malaysia and
we noticed that every time we travelled, we always neglected the beautiful <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">East coast of Malaysia, </b>where lies the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">most popular beaches in Malaysia.</b> So
this time we planned for the <a href="http://india-traveljournal.blogspot.com/2014/11/popular-beaches-around-kuantan.html" target="_blank"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">beaches around Kuantan</b></a>. Due to monsoon, the exotic<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> Redang and Perhentian Island</b> were out of the league. We did a
quick research on the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><a href="http://india-traveljournal.blogspot.com/2014/11/popular-beaches-around-kuantan.html" target="_blank">popular beaches around Kuantan</a> </b>and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Cherating beach</b>
seemed to be the nicest choice.<br />

<br />
We started very early, around 4am and after a
hundred kms on the boring expressway, decided to make a <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">detour from Cherating</b> towards <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">lake
Chini</b>. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Tasik Chini</b>, as it is
known locally, is a manmade lake in the heart of a rainforest and the narrow
road to the lake passes through several <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Malay
villages</b>, Kampung as they say. So you can see some traditional Malay style
wooden buildings, and also the lovely <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Sungai
Chini</b> flowing side by side. There is only one <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">accommodation in Chini lake, Tasik Chini Resort</b> just overlooking
the lake. Advance booking is necessary as the two times I visited the place, I
found it was full house. You can opt for a boat ride on the lake and there is a
small restaurant serving food to outside guests as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After breakfast in the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Chini lake resort</b>, we drove towards Kuantan and crossing the town
proceeded towards <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Cherating beach</b>.
We heard good review about <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">MataHari Hut</b>
opposite to <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Little Bali, Cherating</b>
and decided to stay there. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b><br />

same. On average, the accommodations at the opposite side of the road are
cheaper than the ones located by the beachside. In most chalets you have
options for attached and shared washrooms and aircon or fan. There are options
for four bedded and double or single bedded rooms as well. In <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">MataHari Hut, Cherating</b> we had the
provision to use the kitchen and along with free tea coffee anytime, we can
also cook simple meals if wish to. There is a minimarket few meters away. There
was also a refrigerator to use for.<br />

Point Surfing training</b> center is run by the same family and for your
information, Cherating is pretty popular among beginner surfers. After checked
in, we went for a swim. The South China Sea looked to be calm despite the
monsoon season, and the water was comparatively clear. You can swim, but look
out for jellyfishes because people were <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">stung
by jellyfish</b> on this beach earlier. Well, we did not find any during our
stay. There were like millions of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">hermit
crabs</b> throughout the beach and we also noticed plenty of shrimps and glass
goby and crabs.<br />

We took lunch in a small restaurant and went to
the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Turtle Sanctuary in Cherating</b>. The
centre was actually a small hatchery in 1972 and in 1988 it was officially open
to public to educate people on the importance of the conservation of turtles.
It was fully managed by the Department of Fisheries Malaysia together with the
Pahang State Government. They made this 3.5kms of beach protected and when turtles
lay eggs they collect the eggs and relocate those in the hatchery area with
supervision of the management. The center can be visited anyday except Monday
between 9.00am to 12.00pm and 3.00pm to 5.30pm. If you are lucky and any turtle
comes up to the beach to lay eggs, you can go to the center in night and
closely experience it in the presence of the rangers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We booked a firefly tour with “<a href="http://india-traveljournal.blogspot.com/2014/12/hafiz-friendly-fireflies-watch.html" target="_blank"><b>Hafiz FriendlyFireflies Watch</b></a>” group and we got blown away by it. After the awesome tour came to an end, we spent
quite a long time discussing with Mr. Hafiz about the fireflies and I am
already a big fan of that man. It was already 10, we took our dinner in the…,
just opposite the road, the best thing is this restaurant remains open until 1
am. The fried rice was great as was the omlette with veggie. If you have time,
head to <b>Chukai town</b> in Kemaman for seafood dinner. There is one famous dish,
stuffed crab, crab shell stuffed with crab meat and some other ingredients,
baked and served with their homemade sauce. Next day, we took breakfast on the
beachside café, and after another round of swim in the sea, we bid good bye to
Cherating and started for KL.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">There are three main beaches around Kuantan. </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Teluk
Chempedak</b>, the nearest one, boasts a long stretch of casuarina and palm
trees along the shore. There is also a jungle trek route nearby. The main hotel
near the beach is the Hyatt Regency Kuantan Hotel.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Batu
Hitam beach</b> (<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">in Malay means </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">“Black Stones”</span>), 10 km from Kuantan,
is having<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"> a stretch of black stones on white
sandy beach and is famous among the locals. One must try food here is the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">I</b></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">kan Bakar</span></b><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;"> or grilled fish with a little soury sauce
locally called <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">asam pedas</b>. They
usually grill the whole fish with skin wrapped in some leaf. Once done, you
have to remove the burnt skin and inside lies a fantastic juicy fish meat.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Cherating beach</span></b><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">,
about 50 kms of Kuantan, is famous for the location of Asia’s first </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Club Med resort. </span>The nearby <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Kampung Cherating</b> offers an opportunity
to learn <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">batik print</b> on clothes by
skilled locals, the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">mangrove river tour</b>
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">in Cherating</b> and the nighttime <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">firefly tour</b> <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">in Cherating</b> are two not to be missed things. There is a <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">turtle sanctuary in Cherating</b> near the
Club Med Resort and a 3.5kms stretch of beach is protected for them to lay
eggs. Olive Ridley, Green, Leatherback and Hawksbill turtles are usual visitors
of the beach. You can see tiny baby turtles and few adult ones in the turtle center.
There is also baby turtle release program during June-September and you may

small café on the beach selling western foods along with nasi lemak and other
local breakfasts and for lunch you have to depend on the local Malay foods
mostly. Dinner time you have more options, from <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">fresh seafoods</b> <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">in Cherating</b>
to various types of fried rice and noodles and lots more. One restaurant, <a href="http://www.paksu-seafood.com.my/" target="_blank"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Paksu Seafood</b></a>, is
very popular there, but usually crowded with tourists throughout.</span></div>

Last week we, a group of four nature enthusiasts, planned
for a <b>trip to Dooars</b>. This time we wanted to explore the <b>Chilapata Reserve
forest </b>area. We booked the <a href="http://wildmacro.blogspot.com/2012/05/mendabari-forest-camp.html" target="_blank"><b>Mendabari Nature Camp</b></a> for two nights. This camp was
at a pleasant 40 minutes drive from <b>Hasimara</b> railway station through a dense
elephant infested forest. We did not book for the third night and planned for <b>homestay in tribal village</b>. I had been to Chilapata few times before and each time it
mesmerized me with a different beauty. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
We freshened up, took our lunch and started off for the
first <b>safari in Chilapata</b>. And, what a luck, the first sighting was at mere 10 minutes driving distance from the camp. That was a lone <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">male Asian elephant</b> without tusk (Makhnas).
But that was big, nay, huge. I am still not sure, perhaps that was after almost
a year I found an adult male elephant so close that that it looked so huge to me. We took some photos of the beast while it was busy eating and munching
on plants.</div>

But we would be late to get the entry pass. So our guide
suggested to move on and then after getting the pass we could return to the
same spot. But there was a long queue after we reached the permit office, and
we were too late to find the elephant again at the same spot. The guide said
that it crossed the road as there were signs of uprooted trees and rolled over
grasses in the opposite side of the road. So we started for the
watch tower and around evening saw a rhino gazing far away.</div>

We started our return journey to the camp, and at an opening
in the forest very near to the camp discovered two big shadows. Those were
male elephants as the guide told us. It was too dark out there and it could be dangerous
to go behind them inside the forest, so we just stayed there as long as they could
be seen and then entered the camp premises. Overenthusiastic we started discussing
with Rabi da (da, meant elder brother) about a night safari. He went to the
kitchen and tried to convince the caretaker a lot. But no one allowed us to go
anywhere outside the gate, even not near the bridge that we had to cross to
enter the camp.</div>

That night went without any excitement, except those mystic <b>sounds of the forests</b>. Next morning we woke up at around 3.30 am and started
from the camp. It was pretty dark and foggy, and we just look at the portions of
the forest lightened up by the car headlight. We explored a long stretch of
forest but could not find a single animal. We ended up at the watch tower with a rhino (most probably the same as previous day). It was moving very slowly, but
was not coming towards us, instead was moving towards <b>Jaldapara grassland</b>.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
As Sun goes up, we
returned back to the camp, but did get off the car where we found elephants the
previous evening. Well, in the bright daylight the place did not look scary, well, until we found elephant dungs, lots of those, and a sure sign
of their presence the previous evening. We stayed there for more than an hour,
took some snaps of the butterflies and moths and then walked back to the camp
to take breakfast. And decided to take our chances to <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Buxa Tiger Reserve</b> at the bank of <b>river Jayanti</b>. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We quickly took shower and got ready for the day long safari.
We knew a guide from Jayanti earlier, went to his house, took him with us and
after exploring the river for fishes, hiked some distance to the <b>Choto Mahakal</b> <b>Temple</b> and after taking lunch with local fishes and hot rice, we entered inside
the tiger reserve. We first reached a watch tower and stayed there upto <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>4pm without any sign of wildlife, when
suddenly a storm came from nowhere, we rushed to the car and started moving
slowly towards the other watch tower which was much bigger than the present
one. The guide stopped the car at a waterhole where Gaur (Indian Bisons) occasionally
comes to drink water, but at that time the place was empty, without any kind of
movement in the bushes. We returned from the waterhole when suddenly I found a
malabar giant hornbill in flight, and again one, then another, counted seven of
them. They stayed on a tall tree for few minutes. We have also found a <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">big
owl,</b> could not ID it.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Well, the next watch tower was really very beautiful, even
though no presence of any animals. There was a big artificial waterhole in
front of the watchtower and we thoroughly enjoyed the stay. We found a <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">mongoose</b>, which came there to drink
water. After the rainfall, the forest became greener, and that place is still my favorite to wait for wildlife. While returning back, to the Jayanti
village, we found some peacocks and peahens together. We took tea and some
snacks and sweets there and after dark started our return journey,
deliberately. According to the plan during the breakfast, at
night elephants often crosses the road through which we would go back. That was
very exciting, but one needs luck to see wildlife. We could not find anything,
not a single deer crossed the road. However, the journey was thrilling as ours
was the only car, perhaps and we started thinking if the car broke down we
might have to stay the whole night inside the car. That would be an awesome
experience nonetheless. We reached Hasimara without any incident, took a great
dinner at a roadside dhaba and after that started for Chilapata. And literally
the whole road we just found uprooted tree everywhere. The storm what we felt
at Buxa was just a teaser. It fiercely affected Chilapata. That was around 9pm,
and we still could not reach the camp, just near the place where we sighted the
couple of elephants previous evening, we found an uprooted tree blocking our
way. It was a merely five minutes walking distance, but Rabi Da strictly did
not allow us to went off the car. He tried to call someone for assistance,
but everything went in vain. He somehow managed to get the car to the main road, throughout on reverse gear and finally took another way.
It took another one and half hour almost to reach a village near right side of
the camp when again we found a tree uprooted and fell on the way blocking it
totally. Rabida this time was confident as there were some houses nearby. He
went there and found a man with torch and they helped us to reach the camp
safely. Wow, some adventure, not less than a sighting. That night
we slept very late and decided to relax the next morning and to take
bath in the stream flowing behind the camp.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Forgot to tell you, in the mean time we decided our resting
place for the third night, in the nice little village house of Napen Rava and we liked the stay very very
much, specially the local food, ummm delicious.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
In the afternoon, we visited the watch tower and stayed
there as long as possible testing our fortune rather than flock here and there.
A couple of rhino were there far away. One hour passed by, nothing as such
except some birds and some annoying tourists talking about how the guides were
making them fool by saying that there were elephants and bisons and rhinos where
as the forest was totally empty.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Suddenly I saw Rabi da running towards the watch tower from
the car and uttering <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>“elephants….elephants
nearby” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and God, there were more than twenty elephants<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"></b> of different ages on the road that we just crossed, hardly 20-30' from the watch tower. All
of us came on the road and started clicking them. The guide warned that they
could turn aggressive at any moment as there was a baby with them.</div>

The family reunited, we noticed a tusker in the group. It
was pretty dark, and time to say good bye to the group. None of us noticed that
the rhino came very close to the watch tower, now someone told us on the way
back that they found a good glimpse of that rhino. While returning we found a
fire line, a forest guard was trying hard to cut off the line.</div>

The night was not a bit less exciting, it was a storm like the previous
night, and we were thinking anytime the roof of the room would flew
away, Napenda served us smoking hot roasted chicken. We could
never forget that taste. That was around 8pm, we got down to the ground
floor to go to the road beside and seat there with Napenda and Rabida to listen to their experience when we heard some sound like those of
breaking bamboo trees just behind our house. Napenda said elephants...elephants, and
rushed inside his room to get a torch. What we found next was three
elephants, the first one a big tusker whose teeth was reflecting the
torch light going towards the paddy field. More people from the village
by that time could understand the elephants' presence and they started
shouting and focusing lights on them. Disturbed, the elephants went
towards a little stretch of forest nearby. We did not have courage to
seat there anymore, came back into our room. Napenda told us not to go
downstairs for anything in the night. However, at midnight we heard some
sounds and went to the barandah with the torch, but found nothing,
perhaps we were dreaming the same thing, everyone!!! </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Day 1: Reach Guawahati and transfer to Bhalukpong, night stay at Bhalukpong, Rs. 600-1200 per rooms at lower Bhalukpong just after the checkpost of Assam Arunachal border.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Day 2: Start early enough and reach Dirang. Pemaling and Awoo are the two best hotels there. But more hotels are available in the market area. Take a walk to the Kameng river. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bwupfCmy34w/TphwhbxFKLI/AAAAAAAAEzw/4CjVKlAXlZk/s1600/_MG_5155.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bwupfCmy34w/TphwhbxFKLI/AAAAAAAAEzw/4CjVKlAXlZk/s320/_MG_5155.jpg" width="320" /></a>Day 3: Start for Tawang, again start early enough to cross Sella before noon, after 1-2pm the weather goes crazy there, snow falls and rains are usual in the afternoon. In road watch Jashwant Gar. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hotel Tawang is very good and cheap, and the the tourist lodge is even better. We stayed in the VIP suits there @1050 per night during 2011. The food is good too.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Day 4: Local sightseeing of <b>Tawang</b>, <b>Tawang Monastery</b>, <b>War memorial </b>are very good. Apply for <b>permit to Bumla</b>, the Indo-China LOC from DC office. If it is Sunday, then also you can get it from the office. Usually someone is there at the office to help the tourists, even you can get the signed form from the DC bunglow. Collect it before 5pm and submit in the BRIGADE beside War memorial as soon as possibe, usually before 6pm. At around 7pm they will give you the permit.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Day 5: Start for <b>Madhuri</b> (Or, Sungetsar) lake and <b>Bumla</b>. Use the whole day. The roads are pretty bad but not dangerous. Only SUV can reach to <b>Bumla</b>. The LOC at Bumla looks amazing. You can even see the Chinese soldiers through binoculars. The Indian Army welcomes you with hot tea and snacks.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Day 6: Start for <b>Tenga</b>. Many suggests Bomdila, but it is almost same as Tawang, with lesser cold. On the other hand Tenga is beside the river and is a military camp, very clean and very beautiful with the sound of flowing river all day through. Night halt at Hotel Aphet with Rs. 1100 per night. But the food is of real bad taste.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Day 7: Reach Guwahati, visit Kamakhya temple. It will take almost 10-11 hours from Tenga to Guwahati.</div>

<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lm8Zw1BRhqY/Ticfy_2UoNI/AAAAAAAAEiM/ZjJB_EhN6R0/s1600/DSC00061.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lm8Zw1BRhqY/Ticfy_2UoNI/AAAAAAAAEiM/ZjJB_EhN6R0/s320/DSC00061.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Akihabara is a famous shopping area in Japan</b> for e<b>lectronic, computer, anime, and otakuchōme</b>. New parts for PC-building are readily available from a variety of stores. Tools, electrical parts, wires, microsized cameras and similar items are found in the cramped passageways of Soto Kanda 1-chōme (near the station). Foreign tourists tend to visit the big name shops like Laox or other speciality shops near the station, though there is more variety and lower prices at locales a little further away. Akihabara gained some fame through being home to one of the first stores devoted to personal robots and robotics.</span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-arY8Z01QVvE/TicetPUnlgI/AAAAAAAAEh8/Fu2_8jtrMMw/s1600/DSC00079.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-arY8Z01QVvE/TicetPUnlgI/AAAAAAAAEh8/Fu2_8jtrMMw/s320/DSC00079.JPG" width="320" /></a><span style="font-size: small;">The area was just out of Sujikai-gomon city gate (present Mansei bridge) which was one of the city gates (Mitsuke) of old Edo (Tokyo). It was the gateway from inner Edo to northern and northwestern Japan and <b>Kan’ei-ji temple in Ueno</b>. You can read "<a href="http://india-traveljournal.blogspot.com/2011/07/how-to-reach-akihabara.html"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>HOW TO REACH AKIHABARA</b></span></a>" for more details.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Many dealers, craftsmen and relatively lower class samurai lived there. Hundreds of electronics shops, ranging from tiny one man stalls specializing in a particular electronic component to large electronics retailers, line the main Chuo Dori street and the crowded side streets around Akihabara. They offer everything from the newest computers, cameras, televisions, mobile phones, electronics parts and home appliances to second-hand goods and electronic junk.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">A few chain stores, such as Sofmap, Ishimaru and Laox, each operate multiple specialized branches along the main roads, while small independent shops can be found in the side streets. The only mega sized store is the Yodobashi Camera<br /><br />Note that some of the electronics on sale are only intended for use in Japan due to voltage and other technical differences, Japanese language documentation and limited warranties. However, several stores also feature a selection of international models intended for overseas use, and most also offer duty free shopping to foreign tourists on purchases of over 10,000 yen (passport required). goods, including new and used items. New items are mostly to be found on the main street, Chūōdōri, with many kinds of used items found in the back streets of Soto Kanda 3- complex on the east side of the station. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">After shopping is completed, there are many restaurants and street side food stalls to hang out, like the below one. </span><br />

What To See in Spain</h3>
<b>Art and gardens:</b> No Spanish vacation is complete without a stroll
through the renowned Museo del Prado. Commissioned in 1785 by King
Carlos III, it houses the works of the nation's three great masters:
Fransisco Goya, Diego Velazquez and El Greco -- not to mention a couple
of famous and frightening works by Hieronymous Bosch. Next door to the
Prado is the Jardin Botanico, a beautiful garden in the center of the
bustling city. Spend an afternoon in the shade of this centuries-old
garden that holds plants, trees, flowers, and cacti from around the
world. <br /><br />
<b>People-watch: </b>You can see plenty of sights while simply lounging
in Madrid's town squares, where Spaniards of all ages congregate for
delicious coffee and churros (the Spanish version of a donut) in the
morning, and sangria and tapas in the late afternoon. One of the most
popular places to people-watch is the Plaza Mayor, which has seen
everything from bullfights to royal marriages and public executions in
its centuries-long existence. (That's quite a combo!) <br /><br />
<b>Tapas and copas:</b> You certainly won't go hungry (or thirsty!) on
the streets of Madrid. The city is packed with bars, “cafeterias” (bars
with meals), pubs, and terrazas (fancy outdoor cafés) -- and the
bartenders aren't stingy. Be prepared for an array of <i>tapas</i> (Spanish snacks), and a hearty dash of liquor in your <i>copa</i> (a mixed drink in a tall glass). You'll find bars and <i>discotecas</i> (dance clubs) open at all hours, so feel free to party 'til dawn.

To reach <b>Singling in Sikkim</b>, you need to take a share jeep to Jorethang from Siliguri (WB). From <b>Jorethang</b> hire a vehicle for Soreng. Alternately, you can ask Dhusan to arrange car for you. Once at <b>Soreng</b>, Dushan will take care of you. You can even stay one night in his small basic but clean hill side inn.
Early next morning you'll reach upper Singling by trekking trough one of
the most pristine and unblemished mountain folliage. A 3 Km trek will
bring you to a most fascinating cradle of homestay with all the glory of
Himalayan experience thrown in. The Trek is very easy and can be completed within 1-2 hours. Alternately Dhusan can arrange car to take you directly to Upper Singling from Soreng in another way. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Singling</b> is located in an important place to do number of <b>treks in Sikkim</b>, like <b>Hiley- Barsey

<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.studycapetown.com/images/south-africa-car-hire-fleet.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://www.studycapetown.com/images/south-africa-car-hire-fleet.PNG" width="290" /></a><span style="font-size: small;">Are you planning a trip to South Africa? Driving to the various tourist destinations in South Africa at your own pace
allows you time to leisurely take in your surroundings as you pass
through beautiful regions such as the renowned Garden Route, coastal
roads passing the Atlantic Seaboard beaches and steep mountain passes that
lead to the iconic Table Mountain.</span><span style="font-size: small;"> Renting a car in South Africa
and touring the country independently is an excellent vacation option,
especially for families with children. But before rent a car in South Africa you have to find information on car rental companies, self-drive tours, tips on driving in South
Africa, distances between major towns etc.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"></span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<h3 style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Why Rent a Car in South Africa?</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></h3>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"></span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Renting
a car means you can be more flexible with your travel plans. You can
stop at places you didn't know the name even
and you can also make a quick exit if a destination isn't quite what
you expected. It'll also save you money. Renting a small car with full
insurance will cost around 35 USD per day.
South Africa is one of the few African countries where the roads are
well maintained and you don't require a 4WD vehicle. Gas (petrol) is
readily available at reasonable intervals along the roads and many gas
stations are open 24hrs. A variety of excellent accommodation can be found throughout the country
and there's plenty of opportunity to camp at well maintained sites.
You'll find car rental companies represented in every major town, so you
don't have to backtrack if you don't want to. With affordable domestic
flights you can easily fly in to Cape Town for example, drive to Durban and then fly out from Durban.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Travelling to the vast distances between attractions and tourist hot spots in South Africa, using a low-cost South Africa car hire company is convenient for travellers exploring the country.
Many popular tourist destinations in South Africa aren't easily
accessible by public transport, and therefore opting to rent a vehicle is an ideal solution.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">In internet you can search for the leading vehicle rental company in South Africa. Most of the major car rental company have branches in all major provinces and cities, who offer one of the largest selections of vehicles to choose from. Ranging
from compact economy cars that are fitting for couples and small
families, to large luxury SUVs that will come in handy when conquering
the dirt roads on the outskirts of South Africa, the best car rental company in South Africa stock vehicles that
will match your travel needs precisely.</span></div>
<br /><div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">It is often cheaper to book your rental car through a broker, than
directly with a car company. Shop around for rates online and check
rates through a tour operator. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Always wondering what is a nude beach. It is now your chance to travel to the best nude beaches of Europe. The naked body amazes most of us. Seen as a source
of visual evil by puritans, the human nude form has inspired artists and writers everywhere. Europeans are less likely than
Americans to view the human body as evil. You'll see nudity at most any beach along the Mediterranean, or
at least toplessness. That's the reason when Forbes released their Top Topless Beaches, 3 of ten are found in Europe. Find below some of the <b>Best Nude Beaches in Europe</b>:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Plage de Tahiti - Tahiti Beach in Saint Tropez, France</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i></i>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Saint Tropez is known for its beaches, and there are plenty of
options for folks with families who wish to keep their modesty intact.
The Côte d'Azur town is packed in summer. Avoid arriving on weekends,
especially if you don't have hotel reservations.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Brigitte Bardot and Ursula Andress started the craze in itty
bitty bikinis that shocked even the Europeans in the 50s. By the 60s,
the trend toward toplessness became a steamroller, and now just about
any beach along the Riviera is topless tolerant.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Plage de Tahiti</b> is noted for its clothing-optional policy
and risqué atmosphere, its name a tip of the hat to laid back (French)
Polynesian culture. Go in Summer to see celebrity tanners.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Paradise Beach - Mykonos Greece</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i></i>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Mykonos</b> is the most <b>popular island destination in</b> <b>Greece.</b> In the
summer it's crowded and a bit expensive. You reach it by plane or ferry
from Athens. Mykonos is also the name of the port city, where
you'll want to stay if you're a partying beach-goer.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Paradise Beach</b> can be reached from Mykonos town by bus,
taxi, water taxi, or rented car or moto. One
observant and math-savvy reader pointing out that it's "50% topless and
30% nude. All ages...teen to 70." This isn't your star gazing, relaxing
bit of sandy shore, especially after 4pm when the beer and music turn
Paradise Beach into the ultimate party beach. There are two bars at the
beach, the Sunrise Bar and the Tropicana. Once a month in the summer
they hold a full moon party at Paradise beach, so check your moon
calendar if you like to party.
</div>

Playa d’en Bossa - Ibiza, Spain</h3>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nudism is part of your rights in Spain. Ibiza is the third largest of the Balearic Islands. Spanish company Trasmediterranea
has a regular ferry service between Ibiza and the ports of Barcelona,
Palma de Majorca and Valencia. Ibiza has a long history -it was founded
by the Carthaginians in 654 bce. Its walls were built in the 16th
century.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Playa d'en Bossa</b> (Platja d’en Bossa) is the longest beach
on Ibiza, a place know for hedonism and beaches, 3 km outside of the
capital. Its popularity has caused it growing pains recently, but that
means there's plenty of bars and cafes on the beach, which is very
popular with partygoers heading over to the Bora Bora beach bar as well
as families.

<span style="font-size: small;">There are lots of debate around this question "<b>What are the best travel destinations in Europe</b>" and none can answer with an exact list of the so called <b>best tourist destinations in Europe</b>.

<span style="font-size: small;">Art Lovers,</span><span style="font-size: small;"> Renaissance historians and pretenders with an eye for style,</span><span style="font-size: small;"> Leather Handbag Shoppers with high credit limits</span><span style="font-size: small;">. </span><br />

<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: small;">Best Time to Visit</span><span style="font-size: small;"> Florence, Italy</span></b><span style="font-size: small;"><b>:</b> Spring or fall is the <b>best time to visit Florence</b>. Sane wanderers avoid summer in Florence (and the thundering herds) like the plague.</span><br />

<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>What to See in </b></span><b><span style="font-size: small;">Florence, Italy</span></b><span style="font-size: small;"><b>:</b> </span>Florence's most famous square is <i>Piazza della Signoria</i>, the heart of the historic center and a free open-air sculpture exhibit. Florence's most popular site is its Duomo (cathedral), the <i>Cattedrale de Santa Maria del Fiore</i>. The huge Gothic duomo was begun in 1296, consecrated in 1436, and holds 20,000 people. The Baptistery of John the Baptist, from the 11th century, is one of Florence's oldest buildings. The <i>Ponte Vecchio</i> (old bridge), built in 1345, was Florence's
first bridge across the Arno River and is the only surviving bridge from
Florence's medieval days (others were destroyed in World War II). The <i>Galleria degli Uffizi</i> holds the world's most important
collection of Renaissance art but it's also Italy's most crowded museum
so it's a good idea to buy tickets ahead to avoid long ticket line. Florence has some of the finest shopping in Europe. In Florence you'll
find leather goods, paper goods, and jewellry as well as nice souvenirs
and art productions. Florence has a number of open air markets selling
food, clothing, and antiques. The most famous is around <i>Piazza San Lorenzo</i> where you'll find leather goods, too. Another good place is <i>Mercato Nuovo (Porcellino)</i> on <i>Via Porta Rossa</i>. <i>Mercato Centrale</i> is a great place for food shopping. <br />

held and the weather is usually cold and foggy, perfect weather for
Venice. Venice <i>should</i> be viewed through a shroud that blurs the
tourists and the neon so that the jewel of the ancient city shows
through. But then, the curmudgeon is warm blooded enough not to mind the
cold. Summer? Hefty tourists in shorts and whiny children ruin the
atmosphere in the grand campos, but there are plenty of dark alleys for
hopeless romantics to get lost in. Of course, you'll be perfectly
thrilled in spring or early fall, too. </span></div>

Doge's Palace and the nasty prison on the other side of the canal. Then
again, anything touristy can be magic in Venice--it's just a crazy
anachronism in a precarious environment. You need to see it. No one can
explain it, not even Italo Calvino.</span><br />

avoid Rome in August because it's hot and muggy and everybody is away at the beach, so August isn't even high season. You'll
find lodging bargains in late July and August, but demand air

<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>What to See in Rome, Italy</b></span><span style="font-size: small;"><b>:</b> Rome, like Venice is a walking city. Lots of things you've always wanted to see are free or cheap,
so don't sweat the entertainment budget if you're reasonably mobile.You must not miss the Amphitheater in Rome.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
* <b>Travel Medical Insurance</b>: covers everything from injuries and ailments to emergency evacuation which can costs upwards of US$ 18,000 depending on the distance and remoteness.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* <b>Additional Travel Costs</b>: Medical situations have several associated costs like changing flights, additional accommodation, cost of companion, taxis, food, etc, which can run into thousands of dollars.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Who needs Multi Trip Travel Insurance</b>:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Annual Travel Insurance is a money saver </b>for people who travel frequently or at short notice. It is also useful for families that travel 3 or more times a year, or for the project workers who have to travel frequently to client locations.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Multi Trip Travel Insurance Benefits</b>:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<b>Travel Medicare Insurance</b> is definitely the most important cover you need while traveling because medicare is very expensive, no matter where you go. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Important Points you should Know about Travel Medical Insurance</b>:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* The <b>deductible amount for travel insurance</b> is what your insurer will deduct before paying you. Say you incur medical expenses of $800 and the deductible is $500; the insurer will pay you only $300, which is quite pointless. The deductible can range from $100 to over $1000 and the way it works is; the lower the premium the higher the deductible.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* The cover for travel medical is always in the millions, but most insurers set ceilings on payouts for certain elements of the medical cover, so be sure to read their policy wording.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Check the policy wording and read what is covered. Sometimes this is written in legal double-dutch, so be sure to get clarification on points you don’t understand.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* The policy wording also lists what is not covered so be sure to check for that. Also read the general exclusions because instances like war, riots, etc are not be covered.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Travel medicare insurances do not cover expenses incurred for, or caused by pre-existing medical conditions.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Check if additional incidental costs like flights, accommodations, even taxis charges are covered because with a medical situation abroad these costs are more than likely. Some insurers even covers these costs for whoever is staying with you.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Most trip medical insurance covers Emergency Evacuation, but do check the clauses.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Most insurers will have a Medical Emergency Number, be sure to make a note of it. The last thing you want to do is have to hunt for that in a crisis.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Literally <b>geisha in Japan means</b> an "artist" or

Another name for <b>geisha used in Japan is <i>geiko</i> </b>(<b><span class="t_nihongo_kanji"><span lang="ja">芸子</span></span></b>), which is usually used to refer to <b>geisha from Western Japan, including Kyoto</b>. <b>Apprentice geisha are called maiko</b>.

popular image held of geisha. A woman entering the geisha community before 21 years may begin her
career as a full geisha with usually a year's training, but those who do go
through the maiko stage can enjoy more prestige later in their

<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">
From a long time there were female entertainers in Japan. They were called <b>saburuko</b>. Some of these <b>saburuko
girls sold sex services</b> <b>in Japan</b>, while others with a better education made a
living by entertaining at high-class social gatherings. After the
imperial court moved the capital to Heian-kyō (Kyoto) in 794, <b>Japanese Geisha culture</b> began to emerge, as it became the home of a beauty-obsessed elite. Skilled female performers, such as <b>Shirabyōshi dancers</b>, thrived.<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In ancient Japan, for sexual enjoyment and romantic attachment, men did not go to their wives, but to Walled-in pleasure quarters built in the 16th century, outside of which prostitution was illegal, and within which <i>"yūjo"</i> ("play women") would be classified and licensed. The <b>highest <i>yūjo</i> class was the Geisha's predecessor</b>, called "<b><i>Oiran</i></b>", a combination of <b>actress and prostitute in Japan</b>, originally playing on stages set in the dry Kamo riverbed in Kyoto. They performed erotic dances and skits, and this new art was dubbed <i>kabuku,</i> meaning "to be wild and outrageous". The dances were called "kabuki," and this was the <b>beginning of kabuki theater</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The <b>appeal of a high-ranking geisha</b> to her typical male guest has
historically been very different from that of his wife. The ideal geisha
showed her skill, while the ideal wife was modest. The ideal geisha
seemed carefree, the ideal wife somber and responsible. Geisha do
sometimes marry their clients but they must then retire; there can never
be a married geisha.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Geisha may gracefully flirt with their (often infatuated) guests, but they will always remain in control of the hospitality.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The first western Geisha</b> is Graham, who is popularly known as <b>Sayuki Geisha of Asakusa</b>. She is an Australian by born.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Coming to Japan at the age of 15 on a school exchange programme, <span style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-size: small;">in 2007, Australian anthropologist Fiona Graham began a new career as “Sayuki the geisha“.<br />Graham, <b>the Sayuki Geisha of Asakusa</b>,
formally debuted as a geisha in the Asakusa District of Tokyo, after
completing the normal preparation of around one year. She claims to be
the first western geisha in Japanese history. Graham is taking lessons in
several arts, but her main art is yokobue (Japanese bamboo flute). Her achievement of geisha status was praised in the Western media. She was even featured on Oprah.<br />Now,
only a few years later, her geisha career has come to an end. Graham has left the Asakusa Geisha
Association – either because she quit or because she was kicked out. Graham
apparently did not follow the rules of the Association. She thought her
single year of training was enough, despite being told by her elders
that she needed to continue taking lessons. The situation got so bad
that they stopped considering her a geisha and requested that she quit. </span>Graham stated that the Asakusa Geisha Association had rejected her
request to operate independently from December 2010 after the "mother"
of her <i>geisha</i> house fell ill. She would however continue to operate as a <i>geisha</i> despite the refusal, possibly in a different <i>geisha</i> district.</div>

Important, stay away from cute looking animals, they can be dangerous and potentially kill any human within minutes.<br />
<br />
<br />
<u><b>Weather in Yellowstone</b></u><br />
<br />
The weather in Yellowstone National Park can change very rapidly from sunny and warm to cold and rainy, so it's important to bring along extra layers of clothing which can be used as needed. Usual Summer temperature varies from 25°C to 30°C and Winter temperatures often range from zero to -20°C. The record low temperature is -54°C.<br />
<br />
<br />
<u><b>Fees/Permits</b></u><br />
<br />
All vehicles and individuals entering the park must pay an entrance fee that is valid for seven days. The entrance fee provides entry to both Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. Fees are $25 for non-commercial vehicles, $12 for hikers and cyclists, and $20 for motorcycles and snowmobiles.<br />
<br />
One year passes are available as an alternative to the seven day fee. The Park Annual Pass is $50 and provides entrance to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. The Interagency Annual Pass is $80 and provides entrance to most federal recreation sites across the country including Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yellowstone National Park is the oldest national park of USA. The following things a <b>tourist in Yellowstone</b> <b>park</b> can do:<u><b><br /></b></u><br />
<u><b><br /></b></u><br />
<u><b>Hiking</b></u><br />
Taking a few 3-4 hour day hikes on established hiking
trails will make you feel the real beauty of the Yellowstone park.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b>Wildlife
Viewing</b></u><br />
There is a lot of wildlife to view within the park limits.
Birds (osprey, bald eagles, and many, many other species,) bison, big
cats, deer, wolves, fox, bears, big-horn sheep, elk, and other animals
can all be seen within the park over a short period of time. The more
time that you spend in the park, the more wildlife that you will see.
Some animals, such as the wolves, bears, and the big-horn sheep are
generally not viewable from the park roads. The spaces within the park
are grand, so make sure to bring binoculars and/or a spotting scope to
best view animals safely.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b><br /></b></u><br />
<u><b>Horseback Riding</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Horseback is a favorite way to explore the Yellowstone National Park. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<u><b>Photography</b></u><br />
Yellowstone park is a haven for landscape photographers. The natural
environments, beautiful hydrothermal features, wild animals to be found
throughout the park, the colors of the hot springs ranging from bland
white to yellows and blues, greens and oranges, all are great subject for every photographer.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>Fishing and Swimming</u></b><br />
These are allowed (but not
encouraged) at a certain section of the
Firehole River.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Though many of the animals in the park are used to seeing humans, the
wildlife is nonetheless wild and should not be fed or disturbed. Stay
at least 100 m away from bears and 25 m from all other wild animals!
Bison, elk, moose, bears, and nearly all large animals can attack! For
any doubters, the National Park Service has put a series of animal
attack videos [24] online -- these animals are large, wild, and
potentially dangerous, so give them their space.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In
addition, be aware that odors attract bears and other wildlife, so avoid
carrying or cooking odorous foods and keep a clean camp; do not cook or
store food in your tent. All food, garbage, or other odorous items used
for preparing or cooking food must be secured from bears. Treat all
odorous products such as soap, deodorant, or other toiletries in the
same manner as food. Do not leave packs containing food unattended, even
for a few minutes. Animals which obtain human food often become
aggressive and dependent on human foods, and many can suffer ill health
or death from eating a non-native diet.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When camping,
either filter, boil, or otherwise purify drinking water. Waters may be
polluted by animal and/or human wastes, and intestinal infections from
drinking untreated water are increasingly common.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Always
stay on boardwalks in thermal areas. Scalding water lies under thin,
breakable crusts; pools are near or above boiling temperatures. Every
year visitors traveling off trail are seriously burned, and people have
died from the scalding water. Park rangers can also issue $125 fines for
being out of bounds. Note though, it's common to get sprayed with fine
mist from the geysers. You don't need to worry about being burned, as
the water has traveled sufficient distance to cool down, provided you're
within the designated areas. No swimming or bathing is allowed in
thermal pools.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The weather can change rapidly and with
little warning. A sunny, warm day can quickly become a cold, rainy or
even snowy experience. Hypothermia can be a concern. Be prepared for a
variety of weather conditions by bringing along appropriate clothing.
Lightning can and does injure and kill people in the park, so watch the
sky and take shelter in a building if you hear thunder.</div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><u><b>Mammoth</b></u></span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Mammoth Hot Springs are the most popular toruist attraction in Yellowstone park</b>. The hot water flows
deposits calcite and other substances and form large terraces and other shapes. Some of the terraces grow
several inches per day.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>The Boiling River is another very famous tourist spot in Yellowstone National Park</b>. This small swimming hole is one of very few spots
in the park where visitors can soak in naturally-heated water. Naturally it tends
to be very crowded, so try to visit very early in the morning during
peak season.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Fort Yellowstone is another popular spot in Yellowstone</b>. The historic center of activity during the United States Army's tenure of the park. You can also <b>hike to the top of Bunsen Peak</b>. It takes approximately three hours round trip. The peak overlooks the old
Fort Yellowstone area. Bring water and
snacks with you.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><u><b>Norris</b></u></span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Norris Geyser Basin in Yellowstone park is home to <b>Steamboat Geyser, the world's largest geyse</b>r, which
can throw water more than 300 feet into the air when it erupts. The
Norris area is the hottest, most acidic, and most changeable in the
park.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Roaring Mountain is a very interesting tourist spot in Yellowstone</b>. A collection of steam vents and hot springs
which make noises ranging from a nearly inaudible whisper to a roar that
can be heard miles away. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Norris also includes other tourist attractions in Yellowstone like Gibbon River and Virginia Cascades</b>.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">

<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Madison River in Yellowstone park</b> creates a canyon with steep, tree-covered rock walls on each side.<u><b><br /></b></u></span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Monument Geyser Basin</b> which is largely extinct, but you can get some great

<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Artist Paint Pots </b>which is a half-mile hike takes you past many colorful hot springs, steam vents and bubbling mud pots.Terrace Springs.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Firehole Canyon Drive, Firehole Falls and National Park Mountain are some most popular tourist destinations in Yellowstone park</b>. The National Park mountain is the spot where the Madison and
Firehole rivers meet. As legend has it, this is where the idea came
about to preserve Yellowstone as a National Park.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><u><b>
Geyser basins, including Old Faithful</b></u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Upper Geyser Basin is the most popular tourist spot in the Yellowstone park</b>, the
Upper Geyser Basin is home to the largest number of geysers in the
park, with over 100 located within a one square mile area. Boardwalks
allow access to the most interesting areas. Do not leave the trails; the
surface here is thin and unstable and has a real chance of depositing
you in a boiling pool of water if you walk where you're not supposed to.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Old Faithful is world's most famous geyser</b>, with large
eruptions occurring an average of about once every hour and a half.
Despite its reputation for having eruptions you can set a watch to, the
timing between each eruption has actually been increasing over the past
several decades. Rangers are able to predict the geyser's eruptions to
within about 10 minutes, provided the duration of the previous eruption
is known.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Other geysers in Upper Geyser Basin</b> that are well enough
understood to be predictable are Grand Geyser, Castle Geyser, Daisy Geyser, and
Riverside Geyser.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Lower Geyser Basin, unlike the Upper Basin, most active areas here are
accessible by car. Great Fountain Geyser is the largest geyser in this
group.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"></span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The Grand Prismatic Spring, viewed from above. There is a trail that
goes around the back of the spring which has a small turn-off that lets
intrepid climbers rise about 400 feet above the spring, and capture the
entire basin in one view. For a closer view, there are raised boardwalks
around the spring and nearby pools (viewable in the detail of the
picture)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Midway Geyser Basin. This geyser basin is on a hill overlooking
the Firehole River. The runoff from its thermal features flows into the
river, leaving steaming, colorful trails in its wake. Absolutely
spectacular!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Grand Prismatic Spring. Perhaps this geyser basin's most
famous feature, this is a mass of sapphire blue hot water with bands of
yellow and orange around its edges. This spring is more than 300 feet
across.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">

<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Lone Star Geyser Basin. This and the following are more "Do" than
"See," as they require some hiking to reach them. The route takes off
from the loop road south of Upper Geyser Basin and follows an old,
now-closed road for a total of about 3 miles (5 km). Bicycles can make
it most of the way to Lone Star. Nice hike for families.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Shoshone Geyser Basin. Serious hiking is required to reach this
remote basin, which is beyond Lone Star and a good 7 miles (12 km) one
way from the trailhead.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><u><b>

<span style="font-size: small;">West Thumb Geyser Basin is one of the best spot here.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Abyss Pool. There is an optical illusion with this brilliant blue hot spring that makes it look bottomless.</span><br />
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Fishing Cone where in the past, people used to catch fish in
Yellowstone Lake and then cook the fish by dipping them into this
partially submerged hot spring. This stunt is no longer allowed.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>The island of Madeira</b> is </span>a haven from
today's modern society and just a short traveling distance from
most European cities. Madeira is in the <span style="font-size: small;">lap of Portugal, at the banks of the waters of the Gulf Stream with
warm comfortable summers and mild winters which make it an enchanting
<b>holiday destination</b> all year round. Below you will find some information which may help you plan your <b>last minute travel deals to Madeira Island</b>. Years ago people
discovered on this island a welcoming population, a wonderful climate and
an ever increasing and diverse supply of hotels and other tourist
accommodation to suit every taste and budget. Early tourists to
Madeira were the passengers of the great cruise liners because Madeira
was an important station and excursions into the countryside
were a pleasant day’s break from the rolling Atlantic. From then, Madeira is brimming with smiles and colour. It is, more often than not, warm, sunny and mild.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><u><b>What to do in Madeira Island</b></u>:</span><br />
<b>The islands of the Madeira Archipelago</b> is most popular for its golden sandy sea beaches. You can lay down lazily, or can take part in some water sport, or swim at your own wish. If you are animal lover, Madeira has some presents for you. The <b>sea life of Madeira</b> is extraordinary, and a
caravel is the most comfortable way to enjoy the sea life. <b>Bonita da Madeira</b> is such a boat, offering half or full-day
excursions to Madeira's beautiful bays and to the Nature Reserve of the
Desertas Islands, 15 miles south of Madeira. Leaving for the Desertas at
10am and returning at 6pm, there is ample time to explore, swim and
have lunch, not to mention the dolphin and whale watching.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Just a</span><b> </b>20 minutes walk can bring you into the lush green <b>Boa Vista Orchids</b>. The gardens include one of the last and oldest remaining systems
of walled stairs terracing, as they were back in the 19th century to be
found within the close proximity of the city centre.<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> </span><br />
<b>No holiday in Madeira would be complete</b> without a <b>visit
to the historic Jardim Botânico (Botanical Gardens)</b>. Set high above
Funchal with views of the city and surroundings, the real
attention-grabbers are the many exotic plants and trees collected in
this wonderful garden. Easy to reach either by car or bus, the preferred
method is the <b>Teleférico Cable Car.</b> Connecting the Gardens with the old
town of Funchal, the cable car floats over the gorges and hillsides
with some stupendous views on offer.<br />
<br />
<b>Among other tourist attractions in the Madeira archipelago, there are 3 wonderful golf courses</b>- <b>Santo da Serra, Palheiro and Porto Santo Golf</b>.<br />

The biggest
tank, which holds the manta rays and utsubo, has a feeding show every
couple of hours; a diver goes in and handfeeds some of the fish.
Especially interesting is to see the manta ray devour in one gulp a baby
octopus. During the show the diver tells something in Japanese which I could not understand but the children likes the show very much. They also give torch during the show in the evening and switch off the lights inside the aquarium to give a feeling of diving in dark underwater.<br />

It can calculate mathematical addition somehow. Because the sea lions have been taught Japanese manners, it's a really interesting display. Notably, they've been taught to bow. This is definitely a great place to take your children to spend a pleasant afternoon. Some of the attendants speak English, there's an English pamphlet, and the bigger exhibits are marked in English. There's a really cool underwater demonstration in one of the tanks, but it is only available in Japanese. Only downside is that I think it is somewhat expensive, 1800 yen for adults and 900 yen for children ages 4 though 15. Children under 4 are admitted free of charge.</div>

Popular features include a dolphin and sea lion show, white alligators, gray reef sharks and seals. As the name suggests, it is in Shinagawa. During Christmas there are special Sea lion show, the tanks are decorated with a Christmas theme. <span itemprop="description">The fun part of this aquarium is walking through an underwater glass tunnel while
some 450 species of fish swim around and above you. There are no
pamphlets or explanation panels in English. Also the dolphin and sea lion shows draw crowds on Sundays in
an impossible numbers. Take the local Keihin-Kyuko private rail line from
Shinagawa to Omori-kaigan Station. Turn left as you exit the station and
follow the ceramic fish on the sidewalk to the first traffic light;
then turn right. You can also take the JR Tokaido Line to Oimachi
Station; board a free shuttle to the aquarium from the No. 6 platform at
the bus terminal just outside Oimachi Station.</span></div>

<b>History of Shinagawa Aquarium:</b></div>
<div class="insert-img-rfloat">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are newer, larger and more innovative aquariums in Japan but except for Tokyo Sea Life Park they aren't anywhere near Tokyo. Shinagawa Aquarium is well worth seeing for those in the Tokyo region. The aquarium was opened in October, 1991 and has established a
tradition of opening a new section for every 5 year anniversary. Penguin
land was opened in August 1996 and was followed by the shark tank in
2001 and the seal observation building in 2006. </div>

The first sections of the aquarium deal with the <b>native fish of rivers of Tokyo</b>. There is a surprising
diversity of fish. Most of the displays are medium or smaller sized when compared with
other aquariums in Japan. </div>

The underwater tunnel through the large tank
is still as impressive as when the aquarium opened. The tank holds a variety of aquatic creatures. </div>

Similarly, the rain-forest
tank holds almost as much fish as it does water. Feeding time at the
later tank is not to be missed. The giant sedate monsters come to life
and snap up the food the second it hits the water. That was the first time I had seen Arapima Gigas from so close.</div>

The final sections that contain the 5 year anniversary additions are
some of the best parts of Shinagawa Aquarium. The spotted seal
observation building is probably the best exhibit in the aquarium. </div>

<b>How to Reach Shinagawa Aquarium:</b></div>
<div class="insert-img-rfloat">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Of the two train lines that run along the coast south of Tokyo,
Keihin runs the one with the closest stop (Omori-Kaigan Station) to
Shinagawa Aquarium. Keihin's line only connects from Shinagawa Station
to Haneda Airport so you'll have to change trains at Shinagawa Station
if you're coming from somewhere else in Tokyo. JR Omori Station on the
Keihin-Tohoku Line is a 15 minute walk and the other is only 8 minutes
away.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A free shuttle bus operates between JR Oimachi Station and Shinagawa
Aquarium. This is a major train line intersection between Shinagawa
station and the aquarium. The buses are at 15 minute intervals at peak
times and departs from the number 6 bus stop. The bus ride takes about
15 minutes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A water taxi from Hinode Pier goes to Shinagawa Aquarium. One way
combo tickets can be bought at both sides. This route does not operate
when the aquarium is closed.</div>
