The islets of Halong Bay, Vietnam

The most popular one is called Ga Choi islet or Fighting Cocks. This is the logo of the Halong Bay. Almost everyone gathered on one side of the boat after our captain told us that we were approaching the famous fighting cocks.

Fighting Cocks

Everybody wanted to have their photos taken with the fighting cocks on the background. Well, I also got mine but it didn"t look great so I"d rather not post it.

 

I wasnt able to remember the names of the other islets; well, they were all in Vietnamese language so that explains it.  The islet in the photo below is called the Dinh Huong or Incense Burner.

What"s the point of driving to Halong City from Hanoi for more than 2 hours and paying quite a steep amount without seeing this spectacular view?  Well, we almost didn"t get to see the Halong Bayð€¦ that swindler sinjao :) Yeah that"s the name we gave  our tour guide after that incident. More  of the  Halong Bay story next timeð€¦.

The Lake City That You Would Rather Not Visit

A visit to the lake city of Kisumu is very memorable, not for the nice time spent there but the journey to and from the city. Kisumu lies at the shores of Lake Victoria, a lake spread over three East African countries, Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania.


Know Some Facts about Rotterdam

Rotterdam is the second largest city of Netherlands. It has one of the world"s busiest and largest ports. The port of Rotterdam is second largest port just behind Shanghai. The name Rotterdam derives from a dam in the Rotte River. The port of Rotterdam served as a major trade point for the East India Company during the 18th Century. The construction of Shipping Canal in around 1350 provided Holland greater access to the various parts of Europe. This made Rotterdam a local trans-shipment center between Holland, England and Germany.
