Re: Indonesia – Kuta Beach, Bali

Bali beaches — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 23:25:33 -0000

Exotic black sand beaches stretching away in both directions. Some of the world's best surf

coming to lap your toes as you face the sea's horizon. Bali is often called that cliché

phrase "a tropical paradise" - and you can see why, with all of the glory of a Bali beach

before you. Indeed, it is tempting to call it quits and park yourself on these sandy shores

for your entire holiday at a Bali beach resort, watching the waves peak and crash out at sea,

while lush jungle rustles behind you.

Excellent place. We just discovered this place after living in Sharjah for 2.5 yrs. The trip was completely worth it. Especially loved the viewing area(in the cafeteria) where we could see the animals move around in the open. Also the birds' section. A must visit for families with children.

Wow this looks mind blowing. I hope they intend to build something like this in the UK. That would be a great revenue earner for sure.

Than k you for supporting the Museums in Sharjah, Sharjah has been awarded "Cultural Capital" of the Middle East. and has a whole variety of museums and educational centres. Boasting one of the most highly academic universties in the region, this Emirate focuses on its culture and its enviroment. The most recent an Enviromental and recycling museum which informs the public about living "green" and how to help the climate change.
The long running Contemporary Arts Biennale which is shown in the Arts District. Video Art, Sculptre, Performances and other meduims are shown in restored traditional houses on the coast.

Some of the "gadgets" here could attract a lot of young customers especially, but also people of all ages that want to have fun for special ocasions. Sega might have just had an awesome idea, but we will have to wait and see how people react.

I know, Turkey is not just Istanbul, but Istanbul has completely charmed me. I can't wait to go back, and after having seen it, I can't wait to explore the rest of the country!

It'a an excellent work by Sharjah, unlike anything seen in the Emirates. The nearest contender could be the Al Ain Zoo -- I feel. Hats off to Sharjah Authorities!

It is pretty amazing what early civilisation managed to accomplish. Look at the Egyptians that built the Pyramids/Sphinx, look at the Nabateans that built Petra... I'll take those over skyscrapers anyday.

Re: Ihlara Valley, Uchisar Castle and Derinkuyu Underground City

rimini — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 05:15:47 -0000

I have been there about 4 years ago. It is even more unbelievable when you go and visit these underground cities.

I'm really amazed how people could dig that deep back in that time where there was no machine, only man power

Amazing you did so much in one day. I wish we'd have had time to do the Ihlara Valley, but maybe I'll make it back for a third time when I'm old and grey...
