Feeding the deer in Nara
Nara Park is one of the must-see areas in Nara City. It is a nice place to see hundreds of deer roaming freely.
Feeding the deer is one of the highlights when visiting the park. Some deer are aggresive tho, they will be chasing you if they smell the crackers, which you can buy around the park for 200 yen.
When you bow your head to the deer, they bow back to
you.
Getting there:
From Kyoto, take the JR Nara Line from Kyoto Station to JR Nara Station. Miyakoji rapid trains depart every 30 minutes, and the trip takes about 45 minutes one-way. It is covered by the JR Pass. Local trains are also available, but take an hour and fifteen minutes one-way.

Spa, Pearl of the Ardennes
Newly awarded UNESCO World Heritage Site (in July 2021), Spa is part of the European cultural itinerary of historic thermal towns alongside Bath or Vichy. This little gem nestled in nature is the perfect destination for travellers in need of a peaceful rest…
The town may be focused on wellbeing, but it proves lively all year round thanks to its prestigious casino, fascinating museums and many other events which take place here. Spa also has a remarkably preserved natural environment and is a must-visit place for gourmets. Its spring water, slightly sparkling, will enhance any meal. F1 enthusiasts will also delight in the events taking place at its world-famous racetracks. You can expect a bubbly time in Spa!

San Sebastian, one of the most romantic city
The moment you arrive in San Sebastián, La Concha beach invites you for a dip or a pleasant stroll along the shore, even in winter. The elegance of the bay, framed by the massif of Igueldo and the island of Santa Clara, is known the world over. The city has two other fine urban beaches: if you like walking you can start your stroll on Zurriola beach, frequented by surfing enthusiasts, then skirt round Monte Urgull along the Paseo Nuevo and then go right across the bay to finish on Ondarreta beach. There you are awaited by the Peine del Viento, an impressive large-scale sculpture by Eduardo Chillida and Peña Gantxegi which speaks of the ferocity of the Bay of Biscay.
If the natural settings of San Sebastián are wonderful, the good taste of its inhabitants meant that its bridges, squares and buildings had to be even more so. You’ll feel as if you’re revisiting the Belle Époque when you pass in front of the Victoria Eugenia theatre, the Hotel Maria Cristina or the spa hotel of La Perla.

An excellent and fun morning at Park Güell
Park Güell is a private park located in Barcelona near La said and El Coll neighborhoods. If you are staying in Barceloneta or Barcelona Center, I will suggest you to get the metro L3 and get off and the Lesseps or Vallarta stops, which is 20 mins walking to the Park. Unfortunately, you do have to pay do get in the park. The cost of the ticket is 10 euro and it will cost extra to visit Gaudi house located in the park. I have researched a little bit and I saw that there are some ways to get into the park for FREE, however, since I was there for short time and it was a last minute plan I didn’t have time to sign up for a free entrance! If you’re curious to know how to get there please contact me!
TIPS: wear comfortable shoes, bring some cash(there are many vendors selling cute items), and carry a hat!

Breathtaking Nature!
#celebratewithtrip
Tam Coc literally means three grottos located in Ninh Hai Commune, Hoa Lu District, Ninh Binh Province. It's better to depart early morning to enjoy the cool fresh atmosphere as well as have a complete trip because the distance from the center of Hanoi is just 110 kilometers. The province is home to breathtaking limestone formations that shoot up out of rice paddies and broad rivers. The town of Tam Coc is surrounded by the mountains on three sides, with some homestays nestled right up against the stark cliffs. You can explore the region by car, bike, and boat. The boat ride takes an hour and half. And if you don't want to get scorched by the sun bring your own umbrella. It was a good experience. Don't miss it out.

The Museum of thematic research, collection , storage, preservation and display of the material, photographs, artifacts on the evidence of the crime and the consequences of the war that the invasion force has caused to Vietnam. Well, I personally don't recommend this for kids due to some horrific photos but with the guidance of the parents it's probably fine. I left the museum with a heavy heart although it was quite informative.

Eastern European Food in Harbin!Why not?
#celebratewithtrip
We found this restaurant through Tripcom during our trip to Harbin. This restaurant can be seen on the busy walking street in Harbin. This is located on XiDazhi Street 12, Harbin, China. It opens from 11am to 12am. You can also call for a reservation. We actually had a good experience when we went there. The ambience of the restaurant is quite elegant. There was live music "trumpet". A woman was playing on a small stage. The music wasn't that loud which was good. It was also nice to find a menu with a wide selection of dishes, deserts and drinks. The food is fine, the service isn't bad. I love the atmosphere the most.

We never saw it but we saw the fireworks display. It wasn't that grand though. But the view of the bridge at night is enough. It's beautiful. A good place to walk around.

Don't you miss Summer in Winter?
#celebratewithtrip
When the temperature is cold. We just want to spend our time at the beach. I remember this time when we went to Thailand. We spent some time in Pattaya and visited Koh Larn, it is a wonderful little island located in the Gulf of Thailand. Koh Larn is situated about 7km off the coast of Pattaya Beach and Pattaya is only about a two hour drive south of Bangkok, depending on traffic. The main beach is very busy so you can try to walk a bit farther to enjoy it better. Beautiful light blue water and white sand. The water is a bit wavey but it's okay you can still enjoy it. There are many restaurants and shops around. And you can also relax at the sun loungers drinking beer and just mesmerize the view.

It is amazing how people gather at this place. Mornings and evenings are their usual time to do exercises. And as a traveller, it is good to sit and enjoy the view while drinking your cup of coffee or you can also walk around while enjoying the atmosphere.

One of the Most Popular Temples in Bali!
#celebratewithtrip
Pura Penataran Agung Lempuyang Temple is a Hindu temple located in Karangasem Regency, Bali, Indonesia. People must climb up to 1800+ stairs to catch the Lempuyang temple on the top. A multi-colored sarong is provided for you to wear when you pay for your entrance ticket. Plan ahead by wearing a solid color top that will match a variety of sarong colors. Waiting time is about 1.5 hours or more to take a photo. So we decided not to wait for it since there were a lot of people in line. If you wish to wait that is fine as well. There are areas to sit while you wait and a juice stand with fresh fruit and juices to purchase from across the street. The photographer uses a sheet of glass along a smartphone camera to take dramatic photos. There is a functioning temple, you walk up the stairs and view locals praying. We went there in the afternoon so it was crowded time. Get here first thing in the morning or last thing at night to beat them!
