3 Days in Hong Kong - What to See and Do

Image
When we visited China, we loved the culture and people of southeast Asia. It has undoubtedly been the preferred destination for different trips. This year we are going to visit one of the great cities of Asia that we have yet to see, Hong Kong, which will be our first stop. We will also take advantage of the nearby Macao, capital of the casinos, known as Las Vegas of Asia. The flight was half empty, and we had quite good seats but with the few people we could have been each in a row. After arriving in Hong Kong, after a good walk through endless corridors, we reached the immigration. As fast as I have seen, it takes just 5 minutes to cross immigration. The luggage belt is quite large. We look at the screen and immediately begin to appear the suitcases. In 5 minutes we had ours. We look for the green zone of "nothing to declare" and we go out. There were police who checked randomly, but no queue was formed, and we were already in the airport hall. Here we had 3 things plan...

I wanted to tell you in this post of our 10 days tour in Holland. Do you want to know what to see and visit in the Netherlands? Well, there are many interesting things for all tastes!

After a walk to get to the port, passing by the tourist information office this city, made us realize that we had arrived at other types of sites. In Rotterdam, we will have a lot to see but visually it does not attract...

Tamil Nadu: Travel to Chennai and the Secret Heart of India

Tamil Nadu smells of incense, masala and jasmine. Among the gods engraved in stone, traditional life passes with few similarities to the modern and nearby progress that takes place in places like Bangalore. For a week I went from temple to temple in this region of India. Here life stopped centuries ago and its inhabitants profess their gods in the most devout way in this amazing land. Contents [ hide ] Day 1 - Mahabalipuram After two flights and a few hours of sleep on board the flight that took us to Chennai, we arrived in the city early in the morning. A little sleepy, we collected the luggage, and left in search of the car that we had hired for the tour. The first thing we noticed was a lot of heat and humidity, but soon we found our driver. He accompanied us to the car and we leave the airport towards Mahabalipuram, a small town south of Chennai. It took us about an hour to get there, and along the way we felt a strong odor coming from the garbage dumps. The first thing we did wh...
