Secluded Vacation

* It’s 12 noon and you’re in Rome, but are you in the central part of Rome? If you are, chances are that you will hear the bang of the cannon shot being fired at this time every day on top of the Janiculum Hill. This is a tradition that goes back to January 1, 1847, when Pope Pius IX introduced it to ensure that all timepieces would be set on the same time.

* Haven’t you always taught children never to peep through a keyhole? You’ll be surprised if instead we suggest you peep through a keyhole… and then maybe you will do the same with your children. We believe you will agree with us if you simply follow our instructions: just wait for the sunset, go up Aventine Hill in Rome, look for Giardino degli Aranci, or Orange Garden, and when it closes enjoy the glorious view of St. Peter’s Dome through the keyhole of the gate.  Read more...

There’s little doubt that Kenny Chesney has made his mark as a country music superstar. After his debut album, “In My Wildest Dreams”, was released by the independent Capricorn Records in 1994, Kenny has gone on to release thirteen more smash albums.

Eleven of Kenny’s first thirteen albums have been certified gold or higher. Although his debut on Capricorn was not the blockbuster that his later albums became, the singles from the album, “The Tin Man” and “Whatever It Takes” did touch the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks charts, extreme success for an independent release. Unfortunately, Capricorn Records did not continue to publish country music after that year.

Kenny Chesney has released more than thirty top ten country hits since his first release, including a whopping seventeen that peaked at number one. He has won four consecutive Entertainer of the Year American Country Music awards and six awards from the Country Music Association.

Seventeen of Kenny’s songs have hit number one, and his 2007 summer tour was the highest grossing country music tour of the year. One hit record is amazing; two is incredible. Seventeen is downright unbelievable.  Read more...

It is close to the airport and is absolutely perfect for any holiday maker who wants to enjoy peaceful relaxing days and party at night time.

The perfect part of the year to vacation in Hungary is in the fall or autumn. Autumn fills the streets and countryside with cool breezes from the Mediterranean and also offers less crowding in the streets and hotels.

The beach of Guardalavaca, featured among the most emblematic of the East of Cuba, was even ignored in some maps of the region for few centuries.

Scuba Divers are made of many people that are tired of the usual tedious workday, followed by the nerve-racking task of driving to work; add all the noise pollution it instigates. That’s before everything else scuba divers encounter in these fast paced times outside of scuba diving.

Imagine having a profession that will relax you and rejuvenate you. In addition, you will have a workplace that is located in the heart of nature! All you have to do is master the art of scuba diving yourself and teach others the finer points of this art. You need not worry about deadlines, unhealthily competitive colleagues and rude bosses.

Instead of causing stress, it is a rejuvenating activity. You get paid by doing something you like. You get to impart your knowledge on the sport with other people who share your interest. In scuba diving, there’s no unappreciative boss and annoying colleagues.

Starting a scuba diving is a bit like other careers, though. You should have that extreme interest in diving, and then develop your abilities to working on that. Though it seems so easy since scuba diving sounds all about fun, there’s more to learn to become a scuba diving instructor. You would have to master not only the craft of teaching but also develop an expertise in diving.  Read more...

Gorgeous colored glaze items

As a famous integration of traditional Chinese culture, colored glaze is increasingly popular. With a long history of more than 2,000 years, colored glaze, aka Liuli, is a unique art form that looks almost like glass. Can you imagine that making each figurine takes 20 days?! They are shiny and almost transparent.

Near the HeNan Hotel in Beijing, there is a shop on the first floor of Bai Gong Handicraft Museum named Bai Yi De Kun, where they offer high quality colored glaze artwork. I also found a large variety of pendants and colorful bracelets on display.

The shop assistant told me that Liuli is very durable and as hard as jade. The hottest item in the shop is a pendant named “Yuan Meng,” which means “realizing one’s dream.” I liked its beautiful, translucent blue circular ring that matched a 14K white gold necklace. It was so mysterious and gorgeous, and that’s why it was so popular.

The shop also offers some crafts fit for presents or souvenirs, such as a Peking Opera folding screen, each one of them a very good collection for your house.  Read more...
