Traveling


Recommended Posts

One of my hobbies is to travel the world, cities, or where ever. I hate being couped up at home all year around, so traveling around the world, no matter how far seem to interest me.

Places i've been:

Toronto (home town)

Newfoundland (Canada)

Florida (US)

California (US)

Tokyo (Japan)

Osaka (Japan)

Seoul (South Korea)

Cancun (Mexico)

Glasgow (Scotland)

I plan on visiting a lot more cities and countries before I get settled down and too old. So why not make the best out of life. And that is my hobby.

Unfortunately, being a student I haven't had the money to go to many places over seas. In fact I've only been to Vanuatu for a holiday recently. I have had the opportunity with work to travel around Australia though, I have stayed in many different motels in many places, it's great!

To visit first? If you go to both, stop at south Korea first, than japan.

If you only have the money for one or time for one, japan hands down is the better of the two. I would say go to Tokyo for the mind blowing experience.

Osaka is amazing if you like to sight see the culture.

I have never been out of the US, but I have lived in 6 different states as my father is an Aerospace engineer, so he has to travel where ever they need him.

That being said, if you travel to the US (or more specifically, the south-west US) you MUST go see the Grand Canyon. I have seen pictures of it before and they do not do it justice. Seeing it with your own eyes is just amazing. Its over a mile deep and in many areas over a mile wide and you can see all the way across it. Its simply an awesome sight. If you have not seen it yet and you are in the area I suggest you make a quick stop and take a look at it. I haven't seen much in my life yet (still young though) but its definitely the most amazing scenery I have seen to this date.

I surrendered my passport to some Chinese official who's name I didn't know nor could I possible pronounce.

I got it back the next day though after eye-balling all the border guards at the Shanghai Airport until I recognized my guy.

It was more difficult to convince the Dragon Airlines staff in Hong Kong that I would be fine without a valid Chinese Entry Visa.

    • RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought are free on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe PC gamers can now jump in and grab two more games to keep this week, as the Epic Games Store's ever-present giveaway promotion has just gone through another refresh. Replacing last week's Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat offers, the store has brought in RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition and Voidwrought to keep. From the duo, Roller Coaster Tycoon 3: Complete Edition is an enhanced version of the classic title that was originally released in 2004. It comes with enhancements such as widescreen and 1080p resolution support, as well as increased compatibility with modern PC hardware. It also comes bundled with all the extra content from the Soaked! and Wild! expansion packs. "Control park finances, shops, services and staff to succeed in dozens of scenarios," reads the description. "Become a true tycoon and embark on your promising new career, or create your ideal park without money woes in sandbox mode. Satisfy your guests’ needs and keep your park running smoothly to succeed." If management is not your style, Voidwrought lands as a 2D action-platformer featuring hand-drawn cosmic horrors. The title touts tight platforming and close‑quarters combat, all brought together with a strong emphasis on mobility. "Descend below the star-scorched surface and explore the multidimensional depths below," says the studio Powersnake about the game. "Witness the corrupted revelry of the Court, lose yourself in the icy tunnels of the Old Waters, and discover the grim fate of the Abandoned Expedition." The RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition and Voidwrought giveaways are set to run until June 25 on the Epic Games Store, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, new freebies will take their place on the same day as always. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
