Sometimes it feels like we could belt out the classic old country tune I’ve Been Everywhere without too much exaggeration, but then we stumble upon an overlooked destination and remember that we are always looking for somewhere new. Kuala Lumpur is just such a place.

When the blip appeared on our radar we began to investigate, and boy did we like what we found, beginning with a climate that hardly varies no matter what the calendar says. Warm tropical days give way to temperate evenings year-round, perfect for exploring the many marvels of Malaysia’s capital and largest city.

Of course the first order of business is always getting there. For that there is no better way than best offers on AirAsia via Cleartrip. With hubs across the entire continent, they serve 25 countries including Malaysia, Thailand, China, Japan, Vietnam, India, and Indonesia while being named as the world’s best low cost airline for eight straight years.

Even arriving in Kuala Lumpur, known as simply KL by locals, is a treat since the International Airport has been ranked as one of the world’s top airports. It also has two of our favorite things, free Wi-Fi and a train that runs directly into the heart of the city.

In town Merdaka Square is a great place to start, beginning with the impressive Kuala Lumpur Railway Station. This old depot is an extraordinary example of the Neo-Moorish architectural style that was prevalent in the late eighteen hundreds.

In addition to the station, Merdeka Square has several other fine examples of this blend of Eastern and Western architecture that combines British and North African designs, especially the Sultan Abdul Samad Building, Old City Hall and the Jamek Mosque.

But the plaza is best known as the place where the Malaysia flag was first raised. A black marble plaque marks the spot and now a flag flies from one of the tallest flag poles in the world, standing over three hundred feet high.

Not far from the square the Lake Gardens, officially Perdana Botanical Gardens, offer a relaxing respite from the city. This is also home to Tugu Negara, the National Monument dedicated to the soldiers who gave up their lives for their country.

The massive bronze sculpture is the work of Felix de Weldon, who sculpted the Iwo Jima Memorial in Arlington, Virginia. The similarities are apparent, with both pieces featuring soldiers raising a flag.

Without a doubt the biggest thrill, and we are always seeking one, in Kuala Lumpur is the Golden Triangle. This is the place for some serious skyscraper scrutinizing, with the Petronas Twin Towers leading the pack. Until 2004 this was the tallest building in the world, and still holds forth in the top five.

It is possible that the view from the nearby KL Tower is even better, since the tower is built on a hill. There is also a delightfully grandiose free film about the tower’s construction, simply irresistible for us in our never ending quest for the quirky. Top that off with a revolving restaurant and we have a can’t-miss mission.

Speaking of food, street side Mamak stalls are abundant throughout KL and the city is a great place for an introduction into Malaysian food because most people speak English and can explain exactly what is about to be chowed down.

Curry is hugely popular, including as a sauce alongside of the most common quick bite in Malaysia, roti canai. This cousin of the pancake is sometimes called flying bread because of the spinning and tossing (think pizzeria) involved in its creation.

Wash it down with some teh Tarik, a frothy concoction of tea and hot milk, for the quintessential KL snack. The drink preparation can rival the dough throwing for showmanship, as the mixture is poured back and forth between two pots from ever expanding heights to give it a thick foamy head.

So now we realize that we have not been everywhere, certainly not until we take a trip to Kuala Lumpur.

Four Ways Senior Citizens Can Stay Healthy While Traveling

Travelling is one of the most exciting, adventurous and thrilling experiences you can have, even if you are going for business meetings. Yet, as a senior, extra precautions must be taken such as taking medication to manage your cholesterol. You should also check with your doctor to ensure you can handle some of the stresses that come along with traveling.

Eat one healthy meal before your travel

During our journeys, we all have gotten to that point in our journey where we are tempted to taste the local specialties we see enroute to our destination. This can be the little inviting burgers, fried foods or the desire to eat like the locals. As we get older, we also need to be more cognizant of how much our digestive systems can handle.

On way to resolve this is by eating a healthy breakfast, that is often available such as steel cut oatmeal with fruit or Greek yogurt. As a result, you won’t be as hungry or tempted. And, you feel satisfied much longer until you can find a good restaurant.

Carry Healthy Snacks

Can you have some chips, chocolate or frappuccinos? Occasionally, during our travels, we usually get that urge to stuff our faces with comfort food. This is normal and even encouraged, but we should be very careful to consider what we are taking in our quest to fulfill our cravings.

Healthy living is a personal initiative which comes from a coordinated effort of establishing a healthy standard of food ingested in every situation.

You should always pack healthy travel snacks such as fruits and bite-sized vegetables; as it is just too easy to purchase junk food at a convenience store. They will not only solve all your urges but are a form of health contribution to your body unlike junk food.

In the long run, healthy eating will turn out to be “inexpensive” as they ensure you stay healthy and help to reduce the chances of visiting the doctor.

Stay hydrated

Water is even more critical to our bodies as we age. It’s easier to faint when we lack hydration. Sitting in planes, trains and automobiles can be dry and exhausting. Water will keep you energized and hydrated. Also, it is important to stick to filtered and bottled water, as you never know of the potential for water contamination in places you visit. It’s much safer to stay away from tap water.

Keep a water bottle with you at all times.

Manage Your Cholesterol While on the Road

Managing your cholesterol is usually an easy endeavor and can be summarized in the following ways:

Before trip, make sure that you have packed your medication in case you encounter problems during your travel. Moreover, ensure that you carry supplements.

During the journey, you should always include exercise to lower your cholesterol. This can be done by stretching your feet or squeezing a rubber ball. In addition to that, eat the right foods to help keep your cholesterol levels at a heathy rate.

Conclusion

The key to safe, healthy and successful travelling lies in the planning. It’s not always fun to eat healthy, but it is much worse to get sick while on the road.

Online Paper Writer Test to Find Out What Kind of Writer are You

Most people will agree to the fact that writing is one of the most sought after skills in the blogosphere today. In fact, it is what makes a difference between high-traffic blog and one that is hardly visited. CONTINUE READING >> 

Most people will agree to the fact that writing is one of the most sought after skills in the blogosphere today. In fact, it is what makes a difference between high-traffic blog and one that is hardly visited. Further, skillful writing determines what a great landing page is and that which isn’t. But here is the catch. Are you able to put together a powerful piece of blog or getting papers written by professional freelancers for hire is always a better option? Well, as is always the case with verbal communication, putting together a powerful post by one’s self or with the help of a professional writer has the potential of personal appeal and better connection with readers.

Everyone has a muse

The age of the internet has brought with it endless possibilities apart from the reality that people can today get to explore the world before actually setting foot anywhere. As a result bloggers must strive to establish a strong foothold in an increasingly competitive writing enterprise. Muse is that source of inspiration that every writer relies on to produce results or masterpieces.

Usually, it becomes hugely necessary during low times even if the option of finding someone who can help write paper is never far from thought. Here are possible suggestions:

  • Some writers prefer to take a trip around the world before they can put together meaningful posts on say business, news and academia. These are the kind of content creators who believe in drawing on inspiration from such things as beauty of Mother Nature and adventure. Thus, writing is more or less skilled inspired.
  • Then there is that writer whose inspiration comes from reading a range of publications; online and offline, to get an idea before putting together a masterpiece

To that informative writer whose main is to inform the world or specific readership niche about certain issues, it always comes down to investigations. This partly involves spending hours on end going through literary materials, and partly electronic recordings such as videos and audio files in order to get a good grasp of a concept.

Different types of writers

Before putting together a piece of literature, it is always important to find out what type of a writer one is.  The reason why this is important is that at the end of the day, even if one decides to seek paper writing help, he or she can be able to access, with authority, if what has been put together meets certain standardized thresholds.

Types of writers can be distinguished as indicated below:

  1. Online Paper Writer

If you need help with writing a paper of any kind, say academic writing, newsletter to some holiday or blog, then custom research paper is where the buck stops. Usually, tasks such as topic creation are transferred to third parties. The process of hiring help includes choosing a writer, exploring a project, a follow-up on the process and finally downloading a written paper.

  • Copywriter and Columnist

A columnist is a writer who makes regular content contribution to different mediums, websites or blogs on specific topics such as politics, economics, love, travel and many other areas.

  1. Journalist and freelancer

A journalist alias a reporter is one who partakes on research work and relay findings in way of information, either to news media or through any structured channels .On the other hand, anyone seeking help with blog or academic writing can always hire freelancers. The work of a freelancer essentially cuts across guest blogging to multiplicity of independent writing jobs that require range skills in many different niches.

  1. Novelist

A novelist is a creative artist whose work is heavily reliant on creative imagination for purposes of entertainment. Works of a novelist are often a manifest in novels, story books and other document authorship.

In conclusion, being a writer doesn’t qualify one to create content in every field of knowledge even if one is able to. With information explored in this post, it is clearer what makes one an outstanding writer and in which niche.

3 Things You Must See and Do When Headed to London Without the Kids

London is one of the most progressive and diverse cities in the world, so you can bet there’s always something fun to experience. With some of the world’s best entertainment, nightlife, art, museums, dining, and culture, it’s impossible not to enjoy the city. It attracts over 25 million visitors each year, making it the most visited city in all of Europe. It’s no surprise that London tops the bucket list of many visitors, and it’s a great city for an adult’s night out without the kids — here are our recommendations for three things you must see and do when headed to London without the little ones in tow.

History and Culture in Westminster

Westminster is the political hub of London, home to Parliament and the world-famous Big Ben clock tower, and probably too rich in history for children to appreciate. You, on the other hand, are bound to get excited when you hear the prestigious bells chime every hour. Westminster Abbey is also worth a visit and open to the public on most days. Be sure to visit Parliament Square, which features impressive realistic statues of beloved political individuals such as Winston Churchill and Nelson Mandela.

The Arts in Camden

Camden is a popular and well-known cultural neighborhood in north London. Famous for its alternative culture, it’s a great place to people watch — you’ll see plenty of goths, punks, and colorful people getting their groove on. Camden also has an edgy body-modifying community, evident by its numerous piercing and tattoo shops. Ever dreamed of cutting loose and getting a tattoo? Camden is the perfect place to get one. While you’re there visit Camden Market, featuring street food, unique artwork, and tons of vintage clothing, books, and records.

Theatre on the West End

Aside from Broadway in New York City, you would be hard-pressed to find a better show scene than those playing in London. Why not see something the kids wouldn’t normally enjoy? Skip The Lion King and Aladdin, and enjoy a show for a more adult audience. We suggest Evita, a powerful masterpiece telling the story of an ordinary woman’s extraordinary rise to power during a time of political unrest. It follows the life events of Eva Peron, wife of former Argentine dictator Juan Peron, and her journey from humble beginnings to that of wealth, power, and fame.

If Evita doesn’t excite you, consider the all-time favorite for adults everywhere, Les Misérables. More than 70 million people in 40 countries around the world have enjoyed this musical treasure. In fact, it’s now in its 30th year and still breaking box-office records everywhere. Set in 19th-century France, the show tells a captivating story of broken dreams, unreciprocated love, extraordinary passion, sacrifice, and redemption. It’s a timeless tale of the endurance of the human spirit.

Regardless of what you do in London, it’s a memorable city full of romance and entertainment. From great restaurants and clubs to historical places and shopping, you’ll be glad you left the kids at home. You should consider hiring a car from Hire Brid to get around without relying on public transport. Then bring some nice clothes and drink plenty of strong coffee, because the city rarely sleeps and there’s too much fun to be had.

Festivals and Their Celebrations in Hong Kong

Hong Kong embraces a hybrid of cultures with both the Chinese and Western festivals the locals enjoy celebrating in their own ways. As a tourist, you are more than welcome to join the festive activities and relish the fun with the locals so read on to find out all that is celebrated in Hong Kong and how.

Chinese Festivals

Lunar New Year

The Chinese New Year is definitely one of the biggest festivals in Hong Kong, spanning up to two weeks in celebrations in the city.

Customs:

Distribution of Red Packets

Lai see (also known as red packet) is a red envelope with money of varying amounts that sends an auspicious message to the recipient. Conventionally, married couples give lai see to single people but this custom has changed a bit that even married couples can receive lai see from older family members. While the amount of money put in depends on the giver, it is not appropriate to open lai see in front of the givers out of courtesy. In fact, in Hong Kong, lai see are not only distributed during Lunar New Year but also in other joyful occasions like weddings and birthdays.

Lunar New Year Flower Market

Starting from approximately one week before Lunar New Year, there are fairs and markets buzzing in big parks that conventionally sell colourful flowers and festive snacks. Nowadays, the variety of items on display expands to creative gadgets and artistic products. All flower markets end at midnight of the first day of Lunar New Year.

Family Reunion Dinner

Traditionally, the Dinner is held on Lunar New Year’s Eve on which all family members gather to celebrate the festival. Dishes are prepared with ingredients that carry auspicious names such as dried oysters (the name in Cantonese means “a bull market”) and fat choy meaning “good fortune”.

What to Do:

Go to one of the Flower Markets for a shopping spree! While it probably won’t be wise to buy fresh flowers as they cannot be kept for long, you can instead go for a myriad of other products as well as tasty, festive street snacks. Be sure to also watch the annual Chinese New Year Night Parade which features dazzling floats and performers from all over the world. On the second day of Lunar New Year, join the crowds to enjoy the fireworks over Victoria Harbour and enjoy the festive vibe.

Mid-Autumn Festival

Mid-Autumn Festival is held on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month on which people celebrate the harvest and express gratitude to the God of Land.

Customs:

Eat Mooncakes

Mooncakes are a symbol of Mid-Autumn Festival which is said to be originated from the late Yuan Dynasty when the Chinese revolution army put paper notes inside cakes to spread the secret message “overthrow the Mongolian dictators on the 15th of August”.

In Hong Kong, you can find a myriad of different types of mooncakes. While the traditional kind of mooncakes consist of lotus seed paste or red bean paste along with one or two yolk(s) of salted duck eggs as filling, snowy mooncakes are the modern twist. Snowy mooncakes replace the pastry with a “crust” made from glutinous rice that has a texture of mochi. Local bakeries have also invented a range of flavours such as tiramisu, cheese, and strawberry!

Appreciate the Full Moon

On the day of Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon becomes full again. As the full Moon symbolizes “reunion”, family members gather for a family dinner, appreciate the Moon, and share mooncakes together.

See the Lantern Displays

Another symbol of Mid-Autumn Festival is the lanterns. There are lantern displays and carnivals held in large parks. The traditional paper lanterns are illuminated with candles but present-day lanterns are illuminated and decorated with LED lights. While you can see many children and couples carrying along small lanterns, there are also large lanterns built by bamboo structures that shine like beacons in the dark. Every Mid-Autumn Festival, the lantern displays in Victoria Park attract big crowds that flood the venue to appreciate the sea of lights.

Fire Dragon Dance

The Fire Dragon Dance originated in Tai Hang Village when the villagers performed a dragon dance with fire to cast away a plague. The 67-meter-long dragon is made from straw and thousands of joss sticks, turning it into an eye-catching structure. Strong men have to be chosen to lift the dragon – just the dragon’s head alone weighs 48kg! The Fire Dragon Dance was added to the list of China’s Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2011.

What to Do:

Try both the traditional and snowy mooncakes to savor the taste welcomed by the locals for centuries. When evening arrives, buy a small lantern from any local shop and carry it while taking a stroll among the lantern display in Victoria Park. After that, take a 5-minute-walk to Tai Hang to witness the majestic Fire Dragon Dance to end this festive night.

Western Festivals

The locals celebrate not only Chinese festivals but also Western festivals. Christmas is no doubt the most popular one in Hong Kong.

Christmas

Like many countries in the world, Hong Kong attaches great importance in celebrating this global holiday.

Hong Kong WinterFest

The Hong Kong WinterFest features a number of celebratory activities. Watch the amazing “Hong Kong Pulse 3D Light Show” where dazzling light rays flash between both shores of Victoria Harbour. Also, Christmas lights are put up to adorn the skyscrapers along the Harbour, creating a joyful and vibrant scene. Tsim Sha Tsui is one of the best places to celebrate Christmas. There are lots of tourist attractions and you may prefer to stay in one of the Tsim Sha Tsui hotels nearby.

Christmas Tree at Statue Square

Every year, an enormous Christmas tree is erected at Statue Square in Central. The decorations on the tree changes each year – can you guess what it will be this year?

Christmas Markets

Stanley Christmas Market is one of the most popular ones, designed with a Christmassy tone and an array of local handcrafted artwork and freshly-prepared delicacies for sale. What’s more, Stanley is a seaside spot in Hong Kong Island, a perfect place to unwind after an afternoon at the Christmas Market.

New Year Countdown

After Christmas, get yourself in the Hong Kong New Year Countdown Celebrations. The Celebrations include a hybrid of firework and light shows when the clock strikes midnight.

There is truly so much to see and do during the myriad of different festivals in Hong Kong. Check the dates for the festivals you’re looking forward to and plan your next trip to the city!

How To Get the Best Travel Deals Even Last Minute

Traveling is a luxury that most people love, but it’s not without its costs. Traveling the world can be expensive, but if you know where to look and how to search for deals, you can find some great ones.

The following are some of the best tips to get excellent travel deals, even if it’s a last minute trip you’re planning.

Coupons and Promo Codes

Just like nearly everything else in the world, there are coupons and promo codes that you can use for planning your next trip. Just one of the many examples are MakeMyTrip coupons, and they feature a platform with packages that are put together to provide travelers with the best available deals.

Look for packages that include flights and hotels combined to save the most money, and you might even be able to book comprehensive packages with rail tickets included as well.

You should never book a trip, package or otherwise, without shopping around and making sure you’re taking advantage of any available coupons or promo codes.

Be Flexible

One of the best tips to keep in mind when you’re looking for deals, last minute or otherwise, is to be flexible.

If you can be flexible on your airport and airlines, your travel dates and even your destination, you’re likely to save more money and find some pretty incredible deals.

If you just start with a general idea of what you’d like to do and then start your search from there, it’s likely to cut down on costs as compared to being completely rigid on where you’re going and when you’ll be traveling.

Booking Last Minute Can Be An Advantage

While there are some variations, a good rule of thumb with booking travel is to either book well in advance or just go ahead and wait until the last minute. These are the times you’re probably going to find the best deals.

Of course, booking last minute travel plans can be intimidating, but you could simply keep the dates open on your calendar so even if you don’t know where you’re going, you can plan on being away.

Travel in A Group

If you can get a group of friends or family together, it can be fun, and it can save money. A lot of vacation packages are geared toward offering group discounts. Even beyond the initial booking costs, once you’re at your destination you may be able to negotiate discounts on things like attractions and activities if you have a group as well.

Finally, don’t be afraid to venture outside of the more well-known destinations such as New York, Dubai, or places in Europe. If you can choose locations that are a little more under-the-radar you’re going to find some really incredible deals.

There are places throughout the world, but a few examples include The Philippines, as well as Honduras or many of the countries in Eastern Europe. Of course, getting flights to a location off the beaten path of travelers might be more expensive, but ultimately the costs might still be lower than they would be going to a more popular destination.
