Marina Bay - City Gallery
From My Life In Singapore, 6 month ago Similar articles
Recently we had the privilege of visiting the Marina Bay City Gallery on the south side of Marina Bay here in Singapore. It is worth visiting if you have not yet done so. Certainly for a better understanding of where Marina Bay - and its attractions - are situated and the future growth of the area. (above image 'borrowed' from their website ... this banner will make it easier for you to recognise where it is.)Check their website and browse the interactive Fun Finder, get inspired on how...

17th of May Parade in Alta
From My Little Norway, Today, Similar articles
When you live in a small city everyone is a part of the parade. Â That means there is only a very small crowd looking on. Â So Alta has arranged a unique idea.

OAT Israel: Akko / Acre
From View from Kew, 2 days ago, Similar articles
The Crusaders took control of Akko (aka Acre) in 1104 and immediately began to contruct a series of fortifications. The Muslims gained control in 1187 but surrendered the city to Richard the Lion Heart (King of England) and Philip Augustus (King of France) in 1191. The Hospitallers, a monastic military order established to treat the sick, moved their headquarters from Jerusalem to Akko. Eventually the Hospitallers were deemed too powerful and were replaced by the Knights...
Canadian Small Towns - Gananoque
From Correr Es Mi Destino, 3 days ago, Similar articles
Even though I'm very much a city person and can't imagine living in a place with a population of less than 500,000, I'm in love with Canadian small towns. Over the year, we visit quite a lot of small towns, mostly in Ontario but also in the U.S. Some were just a stop on the road to or from somewhere, some were a getaway, but most of them were simply lovely. It's a cliché but the pace of life is different and people are friendlier than in the big cities. It's also refreshing to see fewer...

Potsdam: New Chambers and Church of Peace at Sansoucci Park
From The Dutched Pinay, 5 days ago, Similar articles
New Chambers Palace at the Sansoucci Park in Potsdam.Potsdam is probably the perfect side trip from Berlin. It is an imperial little city oozing with history, majesty and stately architecture. It is where the Royals and the Kaisers once lived. Not very far from Berlin and just less half an hour by car or via a direct connection with the S-Bahn, this city also has a pretty old centrum and is home to the famous Sansoucci Palace and Park.Sansoucci Park I have to say is a world of its own. If it...
Trip to the Ilha do Cabo
From de kooijtjes, 6 days ago, Similar articles
Today I went to the Ilha for the first time. This 8 km long peninsula surrounds the Bay of Luanda. With its wide beaches this is the main recreational area of the city and also the place to be for Luanda's nicest nightclubs and restaurants. I didn't come here for lunch but for my first board meeting of the international club which was held at one of the member's home. Miraculously, this morning there was not the usual bad traffic and I had some spare time to drive to the very point of the...
A Quick Trip To Toronto
From Correr Es Mi Destino, 1 weeks ago, Similar articles
Toronto is one of my favourite cities in Canada, and we've gotten to know it pretty well through multiple visits. It's an easy getaway destination, a mere five-hour drive from Ottawa, and there are a lot of cheap hotels if you don't mind staying in the suburbs, like most of Toronto residents. This time, we were there for the Bryan Adams concert and only stayed for a day, but we still enjoyed a nice walk in the city and a stop at two of our favourite restaurants: The Old Spaghetti Factory on...
Sunday Evening In Centro
From Brenda And Roy Going To Mexico, 1 weeks ago, Similar articles
Last evening we went downtown to have dinner and to watch some of the dancing on the Malecon for International Day of Dance. Â They had dancers from various groups in Guaymas such as the Casa de la Cultura and Belles Artes and some dance groups also from Obregon, the next city south of us. We had a good dinner, both of us having a loaded hamburger and fries. Â I am sure this sounds silly to anyone up north; but it has been ages since I have had a hamburger and fries. Â It is not...
Minty Moods
From Susu' World, 1 weeks ago, Similar articles
Fresh, minty spring winds… blowing sweetly. I had a very active weekend. On Friday I went to an art opening, followed by some Starbucks lingering. The misty night encouraged me to continue on, to wander on the darkened alleys and admire art gallery windows. On Saturday the Sweets and I took a leisurely waterfront walk. Coffee on the go. Precious lover time. In the evening, I stopped by a friend’s, she showed me her newest fashions fancies, then hurried on to see Death Trap, a...
Potsdam: Nauen Gate and the Dutch Quarter
From The Dutched Pinay, 1 weeks ago, Similar articles
The Nauener Tor (Nauen Gate) was built in 1755.Like many European medieval cities, Potsdam as well is protected by a stone city gate. The ?Nauen Gate' (Nauener Tor) is one of the 3 remaining city gates in Potsdam today, and perhaps the most conspicuous, that is why it merits a post of its own.The gate is built in English Gothic Revival architecture which I find more appealing to the eyes than the usual Gothic style architecture we all know and have seen from the big and magnificent churches...
