One of the strangest things about Japan is that you can spend an entire day inside a shopping mall and have the best time! If it’s raining and gloomy out or if the air hot and humid, there is always sanctuary inside giant shopping centres like Kyoto Yodobashi! Inside you’ll not only find interesting shops to explore, but you can also eat at some delectable restaurants, have a gourmet coffee and play like a kid in the arcades.
After our <i>”Backstreet of Kyoto”</i> tour, we were starving for something substantial to eat. No one else on the tour seemed to be hungry, so we hadn’t had much of anything to eat all day and were ready to devour the world. Our guide pointed out a tiny, noodle shop near the <b>Otani Honbyo</b> Shrine. We B-lined immediately for the shop.
Prague Castle is in fact, more like a walled, medieval village, rather than one singular castle. Inside these walls are some of Prague’s most famous architectural masterpieces. Combined into compound, this mini-city was named, “Prague Castle”.
When visiting any city, it’s nice to have an experience that both exposes you to the city’s everyday culture and also is a unique activity that could only happen there. For me this could be a Gondola ride on the Grand Canal, homemade pasta sitting on a balcony in Tuscany or, as I experience this New Year Eve’s, skating at the McCormick Tribune Plaza & Ice Rink inside Chicago’s famous Millennium Park!
Tokyo Tower is one of those attractions that feels like something you have to see while you’re in Tokyo. Kind of like the CN Tower in Toronto. But if anyone ever asked me if they should go up the CN Tower, I would roundly object and tell them a myriad of other things they could do instead. Despite being in all the guidebooks about Tokyo, after spending a week in this city and looking back, I think that the tower is something you could probably do with skipping. That being said, we did enjoy ourselves, and when a city this big feels overwhelming, it’s an easy option to choose which gives you a unique way of looking seeing the entire city all at once.
Prince of Wales stands as a landmark in historic Niagara-on-the-Lake. It has stood in this exact spot since 1864! It is a part of a chain of hotels called “Vintage Hotels” that features some of the best preserved hotels that retain their historic charm.
