I really enjoyed Delhi. We had so much fun and it was so great to see my friends from Netherlands. Taj Mahal, of course, was the highlight of this trip and I will always remember it. The flight to Bangalore took only a couple of hours. Next week we are planning to go to Colombo, [...]

1. Pyramids of Giza, Egypt
2. Himalayas and Mont Everest
3. Taj Mahal
4. The Great Wall [...]

We woke up relatively early today, around 10am, had breakfast and left the hotel to explore Delhi. There are over 12 million people that live in Delhi at the moment (so I have heard on the streets of Delhi). Unfortunately the large number of important sightseeing venues and the expanse of the city together make [...]

We decided to spend this weekend in the capital city of India, New Delhi. Calcutta (which I am planning to visit sometimes in August) was the capital of India until the year 1911 during the British Raj. New Delhi is very cosmopolitan and I really liked it. My friend and I stayed at the Le [...]

My godson Melvin left today back home to Sweden. He had an amazing experience for the last two weeks. He liked different parts of India and he loved Dubai. He didn’t like Bangalore so much (I wonder why J). Well, not shocking at all. I still haven’t met a person who said he or she [...]

Monday, June 23rd, 2008. Today was a very busy day at work. Well, nothing unusual but today I felt very exhausted of some reason. It was so busy that I barely had some time to eat. Oh, speaking of eating and food, I can’t really remember when the last time I had a great meal [...]

I can’t believe that I eat at the one and only 7-star Hotel in the World, Burj Al Arab, Dubai. Burj Al Arab means Arab Tower and it is one and only 7-star Hotel in the World. It is not the most expensive one though. The one in Switzerland Alps is the most expensive one [...]

After being on beautiful Jumeira Beach Park and swimming in nice and warm Arabic Sea we went on a Desert Safari. Jumeria area is one of the good areas in Dubai. It is very expensive to live there though. You can’t buy a house there but you can rent one. Monthly rent goes from US$7,000. [...]

We woke up around 5:00am today. I guess we all were so excited about discovering this amazing city so we could not sleep. The breakfast was great. Well, it just cost US$100 dollars for 3 people. The first thing we did today was to take a guided city tour. That was a great experience. We [...]
