The Hippest Public Bathroom in the USA

Jackpot! A flush with greatness!

Shiny and adorned in black and green art deco (including the toilets and urinals) this luxurious loo boasts a shoeshine station and a vintage phone that calls up the front desk – just in case… CONTINUE READING >>

Built in 1910, the Hermitage Hotel in Nashville is a 5-Star accommodation that might be best known for a restroom.

The downstairs men’s room, just off of the hotel’s Capitol Grille, has been voted best bathroom in America several times in online polls.

We strongly feel that it deserves the title.

In fact, when we lived in Nashville, we used to sneak all of our female out-of-town visitors in for a peek, adding in an extra thrill element.

It’s a little sad to us now that management has given up on trying to keep curious female observers out.

They’ve put up a plaque welcoming everyone, regardless of gender, to take a look inside.

It makes us miss the covert action of the good old days.

Shiny and adorned in black and green art deco (including the toilets and urinals), the luxurious loo boasts a shoeshine station and a vintage phone that calls up the front desk – just in case.

Because of it’s location near Nashville’s Legislative Plaza, lawmakers, lobbyists, and the press tend to hang out at the hotel – and we would assume, need to use the facilities from time to time.

The Hermitage has also played host to many US presidents, but as far as we know their only public thoughts on the public toilet was… no comment.

Talk about a flush with greatness!

How To Travel Abroad Without A Companion

Traveling abroad offers innumerable benefits, but most people would not dare doing it alone. However, it perfectly okay to travel overseas by yourself if you are fully prepared to do so. CONTINUE READING >> 

Traveling abroad offers innumerable benefits, but most people would not dare doing it alone. Thousands of people will travel solo within their country, but will not venture outside the country unless it is a business requirement. However, it perfectly okay to travel overseas by yourself if you are fully prepared to do so. The preparation process is very complex, so you will need to start preparing several months in advance. Make sure that you’ve found somewhere safe to stay, like in luxury cabin rentals, then get prepared. Below, you will discover several tips that will help get your prepared for such an undertaking.

Thorough Research

The first step will involve choosing an international country to visit. Your best bet will be to collect travel brochures from prospected countries. You can also purchase comprehensive travel books from your local or online bookstore. Be sure to pick up an international travel guide, while you are at it because most of these are fairly general. Traveling abroad offers an abundance of rewards, but if you are not prepared there are always the risks of things going wrong.

Learn About The Country’s Culture

Once you choose a country to visit, it will be time to start delving into its culture. Most countries have a diverse population. So, do not be surprised to encounter many different cultures within the country you are visiting. Culture is the social norms and behaviors found in human societies. In order to become part of any culture, you will need to understand everything about it.

Of course, most people do not expect tourists to know everything about their culture. However, they do expect them to want to adapt and get involved. For instance, if you decide to travel o Greece, you should consider stopping by your local travel agency to pick up Greece tour packages. The package will include everything you need to ensure a safe and exiting trip to Greece.

Obtaining A Passport

If you are going to be traveling abroad, you will need to obtain a passport. You will need to apply in advance for the passport. It may take a month or longer to receive your new passport and you definitely want to receive it several weeks, before you are scheduled to leave. If you already have a passport, be sure to check it to see if it is still valid.

Look For Safety Warnings

Most countries will list safety alerts on their website. If you live in the United States, you can visit the FBI website to find travel alerts. Traveling to Japan or Sweden alone will not be considered a high risk, but traveling to the Middle East or Africa will be extremely dangerous. There are many countries that are deemed safe and unsafe for single travelers, especially females. Do your research, before you pick a destination to avoid putting yourself in a dangerous situation.

Research The Climate And Weather

As you should already know, the weather can change at the drop of a hat in the United States. Well, the same thing can be said about other countries, as well. Do research on the country’s climate, weather and season in advance. So, you can pack the appropriate clothing for your trip.

Getting to Know Kuala Lumpur

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.
