Hong Kong. City of mixed cultures of Brits and Chinese. Dont expect a typical city of China. Definitely not London too. Many skyscrapers and temples to see. Dont forget the food! Most importantly Dim Sum!! March is a good month to visit Hong Kong. Not so cold not so hot, just a perfect weather for tourists! Still watch out for the light rain. Kowloon Island Best place to view Hong Kong Island is Kowloon Island. Both in day light and night time. Kowloon island is also best for shopping. We stayed on Kowloon Island. So it was easy to reach shopping malls and get back to hotel without the traffic jam. A beautiful park is located in the middle of the island. You may take your food and have a little picnic over there. There are also some interesting animals -especially the birds-  I have not seen before. Many old people meet at this park for doing yoga or other exercises. Tin Hau Temple, Hong Kong Island T...

Imagine a room, once it was the place where Founding Fathers of the USA came together and signed the Decleration of Independence. You may visit this very room in Philadelphia, first capital city of the United States. Another symbol of American Independence located close to the Congress is Liberty Bell that was used for the summon the legislators. Today, this cracked bell visited by many famous politicians/legislators around the World just because what it symbolizes, Independence. Food- Philadelphia Pretzels & Cheese Steaks You cannot leave the Philadelphia without tasting the delicious Philly Cheese Steak. My favorite place for it is  Jake's Sandwich Board . You do not have to eat the cheese steaks every single day. There are many things to discover. So many restaurants, bars.. I found the potato chips hided as noodle perfect! Also check out the  Franklin Fountain ...

After reading many comments and reviews, I have decided to give a chance to this popular restaurant in Istanbul, Turkey.  Since it is super popular and in demand by the COOL people, I kept my expectance very low. So please read this post while keeping this in mind. Let's start with the reservation. We want to reserve a table by the window to have a good view of the Bosphorus. Their response was very nice - they do not take reservations specific for a table but they were gonna do a favor for that time-, we were sooooo happy. But wait.. The view is not fantastic at all. Actually nothing special because it is very limited. So, do not care to be seated in any area, you will not lose anything.. You will be overdressed whatever you wear. Neolokal located in an modern art gallery,  Salt . Just ask where it is exactly located when you enter Salt. Otherwise, you can take the stairs, assuming Neolokal...

All happiness depends on a leisurely breakfast. Yep, we all know so far the breakfast is the most important meal of the day. In weekdays, we mostly skip it or just have a quick bite. Tell me about the weekends!   The breakfast tables are awesome during the weekends. Every country has their own style. However, my faves are American Brunch and Turkish Breakfast. I just can't stand the breakfasts only with cereals. OMG so boring! For Turkish people, breakfast is quite serious and no way to skip it. You will notice many restaurants/cafes serve breakfast. Nezih is the best. It is a kebab restaurant with a nice bosphorus view but they are even better in this breakfast business. You will be packed like sardines at Nezih  but it is worth the experience. I highly recommend to make a reservation.  Service and the dishes are extra ordinary. You will not regret it. They serve everything before y...

Mimosas: Socially acceptable way of start drinking in the morning. American brunch means bottomless mimosas to me. But this generalisation does not apply every single State. I have no clue about the reasoning but some States prefer banning unlimited booze deals. As an attorney, I am pretty sure they have some sort of chronoligical reasons but I reject any arguements and any law standing against the enjoyment of unlimited mimosas. People shall reach bottomless mimosas freely. Free, not in the meaning of monetary. Unlimited mimosas generaly starts from $12 and goes up depending on the quality and brand of the Champagne. The food is also essential in American brunches as you may suggest the size of clothing in the States. There are many varities to choose from. So far, I experienced Indian, far east, mexican (basically tex-mex), italian brunchs including dim-sum, p...

If you visit Prague as a tourist in a breakfast included hotel, you wouldn't find it necessary to eat outside. But if breakfast is an extra in your hotel deal, do not even think about eating in the hotel. For instance, in our hotel, extra breakfast was 11 Euros, though the greatest breakfast you can eat in Prague is around 7 Euros and it is GREAT! Maybe after reading this article, you may end up choosing an hotel without breakfast or skip your hotel breakfast and run to Savoy. I hope this helps...  1. Café Savoy Savoy is one of the great cafes of Prague, with Art Nouveau interiors, smart service and beautiful breakfast platters. If you choose to go on a weekend,  do not forget to book a table, because the place is booked with locals, and eating upstairs does not give you the full experience. The place serves four types of breakfasts, Continental, Savoy, French and English, though they have added their interpretation t...

I do accept that there is something called British food culture. But it is no further than tea times (afternoon tea at 4pm and high tea at 6 pm accompanied with scones and other sorts of pastries), greasy fish and chips and full English breakfast. If you are in England for touristic purposes and short term, these stuff might be cheerful enough. But still, there are plenty to choose from the World cuisine. Best part of London is the theaters and theatre menus offered by many restaurants close to the theatre area. This time we decided to give a try to Palm Court, a Parisian-style Brasserie. I should admit they actually stole my heart with the “baked wedge of brie in filo pastry with cranberry chutney”. Reading this caused saliva overproduction which is not good if you are not around with good friends. However I was lucky enough to go there with my best friend who had a funny argument with the waiter to how to pronounce Nicoise.
