in Chiba Prefecture. Adjacent to the airport is Narita City, with a population of almost 129,000. This may be a pittance compared to Tokyo's 12 million, but there is much to do and see culturally in both Narita City

and its next-door neighbor Sakura City – population nearly 172

Kota Kinabalu, the capital of the Malaysian state of Sabah, is located on the island of Borneo.  Borneo has long been known for its exotic wildlife.  However, today, as with wildlife the world over, Borneo finds it is necessary to protect its wild animals.  There are a couple Orang Utan centers in Sabah but both are full-day trips from Kota Kinabalu. Visitors should consider visiting the Shangri-la’s Rasa Ria Resort Nature Reserve where they have a variety of nature-related activities. Twice da

Among the rock-hewn churches of Lalibela, Bete Giorgis (the house of Saint George) is found southwest of the village on a rocky ground. The temple is cross-shaped, perhaps the most attractive structure of Lalibela’s rock-hewn churches. When Lalibela had finished constructing the churches, Saint George riding on his white horse revealed himself to Lalibela to tell him that there was no temple in his name. Taking George’s word, Lalibela went to this rocky field and constructed this amazing temple.

Do you remember the famous Eastern aphorism "Be careful with your wishes–sometimes they come true"? That is how I was going to entitle this story. However, today we will speak about sailing in Croatia, Croatian cities, islands, and people.

For some time, my dearest served in the navy. From time to time, he told me romantic stories about the sea, dolphins, sailing, and the wind blowing in your face. So, what would you give such a man on his birthday–yet another wrist watch or new mobi

While in Mexico City on business, my partner and I were looking for a little badly needed R&R, and interested in an out-of-town excursion that was interesting but not too obvious or a cliché, so we asked our local employees their opinion, and they were in pretty much unanimous agreement: Tepoztlán.
