Cuộc Sống Muôn Màu

[KiwiTeTua]

Istanbul - Turkey (Thổ Nhỉ Kỳ)

Vào khu chợ Grand Bazaar hay Spice Market nên coi chừng bị móc túi (pickpocket).

Mua món đồ gì cũng phải trả giá xuống thấp nhiều vì người bán nói thách rất cao. Áo da trừu (sheepskin leather coat) ở chợ bán rẽ hơn những chổ chuyên môn làm đồ da (leather factory), màu sắc thì không đầy đủ như ở factory... Nhưng đồ da trong factory vẫn rẽ hơn những cửa tiệm trong shopping mall bên Mỹ.

Đừng thấy thảm đủ màu, đủ loại mà ham mua ngay những tấm thảm trong những factory làm thảm bên Turkey. Phải trả giá thật nhiều vì tụi nó nói thách trên trời dưới đất, giá cách biệt mấy ngàn dollars một tấm. Đôi khi những chổ bán thảm Persian, Turkey (thật) bên Mỹ, có On Sale, giá lại rẽ hơn mua ở Turkey.

Western & Central Turkey & Eastern (Thổ Nhỉ Kỳ) - Rick Steves

Du lịch Thổ Nhỉ Kỳ (Turkey) rất hay và thích thú vì xứ này có nhiều di tích lịch sứ cổ kính đáng đi xem. Thức ăn thường được làm với thịt trừu, thịt dê, hơi khô khan và không hợp với khẩu vị của người Á Đông.

Vì tình hình chiến tranh xáo động ở những xứ láng giềng và nguy cơ khủng bố của ISIS, lúc này không nên đi du lịch Turkey và những vùng lân cận....

[Japanology Plus] Mt Fuji 富士山 Season 1 EP03

Mount Fuji (富士山 Fujisan?, IPA: [ɸɯᵝꜜdʑisaɴ] ( listen)), located on Honshu Island, is the highest mountain in Japan at 3,776.24 m (12,389 ft).[1] An active stratovolcano[5][6] that last erupted in 1707–08, Mount Fuji lies about 100 kilometres (60 mi) south-west of Tokyo, and can be seen from there on a clear day. Mount Fuji's exceptionally symmetrical cone, which is snow-capped several months a year, is a well-known symbol of Japan and it is frequently depicted in art and photographs, as well as visited by sightseers and climbers.

Mount Fuji is one of Japan's "Three Holy Mountains" (三霊山 Sanreizan?) along with Mount Tate and Mount Haku. It is also a Special Place of Scenic Beauty and one of Japan's Historic Sites.[7] It was added to the World Heritage List as a Cultural Site on June 22, 2013.[8] As per UNESCO, Mount Fuji has “inspired artists and poets and been the object of pilgrimage for centuries”. UNESCO recognizes 25 sites of cultural interest within the Mt. Fuji locality. These 25 locations include the mountain itself, Fujisan Hongū Sengen Shrine and six other Sengen shrines, two lodging houses, Lake Yamanaka, Lake Kawaguchi, the eight Oshino Hakkai hot springs, two lava tree molds, the remains of the Fuji-kō cult in the Hitoana cave, Shiraito Falls, and Miho no Matsubara pine tree grove.[9]

Only in Japan

▽▲Cherry Blossom Mania: Mt. Fuji and Nara▲▽

Let's leaves Tokyo for the Japanese countryside.
Mt. Fuji's Kawaguchiko (lake) and Yoshinoyama (mountain) in Nara Prefecture. Yoshinoyama is the no.1 spot for viewing the cherry blossoms in all of Japan.

We also look at some of the unique foods made from cherry blossoms at Yoshinoyama: ice cream, yokan, sushi and sakura liquor.

Knowing the cherry blossoms (sakura) is to know Japan itself. Their beauty comes quickly and is short lived -- falling from the tree after only 10 days. The samurai lived knowing their life would be short, and that spirit is in each cherry blossom.
Called "mono no aware" which is deeply rooted in Buddhism, Japanese have a strong connection to all things. The beauty felt for the sakura is deep. Mono no aware is also an important factor in how Japanese connect to manga, anime and things important to them.

This show has been created and produced by John Daub. He's been living and working in Japan for over 15 years and regularly reports on an International TV Show for Japan's International Channel.


Casting light on quirky, funny & amazing Japanese culture in a way only seen through the eyes of a foreigner! Join us as we penetrate deep into the heart of Japan!

Tokyo Capsule Hotel Experience

A real life capsule to sleep in. Cool!
This is one of the most "ONLY in JAPAN" experiences possible — staying in a capsule hotel in a Japanese city. It’s cheap and convenient but why do people actually stay here? Is it ... you know ... big enough?
In this episode, John Daub and Masahito Kawahata head to the Shinjuku Kuyakusho-mae Capsule Hotel in Kabukicho to find out.

Japan’s Capsule Hotels are more than cheap places to crash.
This type of hotel is distinctively Japanese in style, cramming in as much as possible into a tiny space to make a comfortable experience, but can a guest really be comfortable in one?
More and more foreign tourists to Japan want to give it a try! How small are these capsule? How much is a night? What are the rules?
Is it worth it?

Miss your last train?
Work too late?
Argument with your husband or wife and need a place to crash? Those might be the normal reasons why Japanese salarymen spend the night at a capsule hotel.
For foreign tourists it’s a chance to experience a unique style of hotel that seems more like spending a night at the morgue.
Before you pass judgement on capsule hotels, some things about them may surprise you!

What can you find at the capsule hotel?
Here’s a list:

Capsules
Lockers
Restaurant (Open 18:00~24:00)
Community Room
Vending machines
Laundry machines
Fast and free WIFI
English speaking staff
Women’s only floor
Japanese-style bath and sauna
Close to Shinjuku Station, bars, Golden Gai and Robot Restaurant

The Church of Bones - Czech Republic

The remains of over 40,000 people provide the 'unusual' decoration for Bohemia's most notorious church. The bones grace the walls, ceilings and floors. The decor was inspired by the need to address overcrowding in the cemetery during the 19th century.
