Bali – Where elephants and people meet
Guest post by Cristina Banu
Last year I went to Bali because I had been fascinated by the photos I had seen of this island. I was impressed by its natural beauty, its great food and wildlife.
This is the land of contrasts: natural richness of landscape, impressive 5 star hotels and sheer poverty of the inhabitants living in huts.
Don’t be tricked by the tourist shopping centers, they are expensive and do not express the real local flavor. I chose the smaller local towns instead which have very good and cheap food.
Also stay away from hotel restaurants, they charge way too much for food that is not as good as that served by local restaurants. Read more…
Photo Wednesday – Beaches of Oludeniz, Turkey
Now that winter is here, I’d so wish I were back there, in mid September, enjoying the sea, the breeze and the warmth.
CN Tower – On the top of the world
I am not a big fan of Toronto. Been there, seen some of it, wasn’t really impressed. It was cold, although it was late spring, it all seemed a bit gray and the food…Well, I only had Chinese and sandwiches over there, enough said!
But the CN Tower / La Tour CN left me breathless, together with the beautiful area surrounding it. Modern buildings displaying a beautiful reflection of the sun as it glided just before setting, a private slice of beauty, just for us.
