Discovering a new place where to visit

Copenhagen, Denmark

Nyhavn Canal

This article is about some reasons why the people should visit Copenhagen, in Denmark. The woman that wrote the article gave some touristic places and events that may interest some people. She listed her favorite places:

Amalienborg Palace

• Nyhavn canal: everyone should go to this canal, it has in the besides the known colored houses that always appear in the postals, in those houses she says that there are a lot of restaurants and coffees where to spend the time.
• The Amalienborg palace: is the palace where the royal family live
• It is one of the best places to go on a ride on bike, the people can rest a bike or can rent a tour in bike to go around the city
• Black Diamond: is a beautiful library designed by the architects Schmidt Hammer Lassen, where the people can go and see some exhibitions and can drink coffee
• Radhuspladsen: is a public square in the center of Copenhagen, in front of the Copenhagen city hall, which is surrounded by government buildings and there are a lot of hotels, parks, and museums nearby
• Tivoli: is an amusement park surrounded by beautiful gardens, the second most popular seasonal amusement park, just behind Disney Park

Copenhagen bicycles 

When I read this article I just fell in love with Copenhagen, this made me feel that I wanted to go there and to visit all these places. For me all the countries have something unique and special, and that they all have something to share with the world. This can be an example of what I am talking about, maybe the countries that the people know the most are England, France, Italy and Germany but there are other countries in Europe and in the whole world that have something beautiful that may be a reason to visit there.

So, for example, we have Denmark. I knew Denmark, I knew the capital but I never got interested on the country until I read this article (and at the beginning I didn't want to read it). So by reading it I discovered that Denmark has a lot to offer to the visitors, there are a lot of places where to go, a lot of old architectures that we should see, a lot of restaurants where to eat, etc. 

Black Diamond 

What I think is that this may occur to a lot of people. The people usually go to the well-known places, but without realizing that there are other cities that can offer you other things. Maybe we like to go to Paris to see the Eiffel Tower, or to London to go through the London Bridge or to take a ride in the London Eye, but who would know that there is a beautiful library and a canal with colored houses besides in Copenhagen? 

I loved this article because the people need to know what good places we can go to visit, the people that write these articles as this woman gives us reasons to go to a different place on vacations. And I loved that I discovered something new from a country which I never looked before.

Teleferico de Mukumbari

Merida, Venezuela

This article is about the "Teleferico Mukumbari" in Merida, Venezuela. Here they talk few things about this new cableway that was inaugurated in Merida last May, they say that more than 70 thousand people has visited the cableway in 4 months (because the article was written in September 2016).
The article explain that it was closed for more than 8 years because the cableway was being remodeling, the ones in charge of the tourism in Venezuela were improving the facilities, the infrastructure, the stations, the restaurants, the cabins, and more.
And it also explains why this is one of the most visited touristic places. First because the cableway visit 5 stations (Barinitas, La Montaña, La Aguada, Loma Redonda and Pico Espejo) in which you can appreciate the diversity in the vegetation and in the landscape; one of the more characteristic plant is the one called Frailejon, in the way to the top the visitors can appreciate 64 types of Frailejones.
The first station Barinitas is 1,555m over the sea, and the last station Pico Espejo is 4,765m over the sea. While going from the 4th to the 5th station the people can see and take pictures of the Pico Bolivar, the highest point of the highest mountain in Venezuela. Pico Espejo, the last station is near the Pico Bolivar, it is why so many people go to the Pico Espejo and then they take a walk to the Pico Bolivar where there is a bust of Simon Bolivar.
Sometimes, depending on the time of the year the people that visits there Loma Redonda or Pico Espejo they can see snow.

I imagine that more than 70 thousand people has visited the cableway in Merida because a lot of people were waiting for it for more than 8 years. When it was inaugurated everybody was excited because they could visit again this touristic place, which is one of the best touristic places in the country along with the Salto Angel and the beautiful beaches that we have.

I visited the cableway on vacations and it was espectacular, I have never been there and I really liked it, it was so modern and clean. They had in every station a place where to buy food, which is very important because as no everyone is accustomed to the high places the people need to eat or at least to drink something like coffee or chocolate so they don't faint.

And one of the things that I loved was the view of the mountains while going up in the cableway because you could see from one side to the city of Merida and from the other side the whole view of the mountain, the Frailejones, the roads; when going to Loma Redonda I could see the huge lakes in between the mountains, and then going to Pico Espejo I could see the statue of Miranda in one of the highest point of one mountain and I could see all the Pico Bolivar and the frozen rivers. It was just beautiful and a good experience.

Hotel Capsules

Tokyo, Japan

This article is about a modern and new hotel in Tokyo that consists in a bunch of small capsules that have all the necessary for the people to sleep.
In this hotel the guests can rent a small capsule to sleep for a night if they lose their plane or they have to pass the night in Tokyo and spending money in a normal hotel is too much. So the people prefer to just rent one of this capsules that has a bed, a tv, a radio and an alarm, everything that somebody needs to sleep.
According to the article the capsules cannot be closed by inside, it means that they are open and that somebody can open your door while you are sleeping. And also, the article mentions that when a person rents the capsule, they give you a towel, gown and toothbrush so you can take a bath if you want, and the bathrooms are shared with other people.

I think that this new and modern hotel that the citizens from Tokyo created is fantastic. Mostly because sometimes people can miss a plane, or you are just in a city for one night, or maybe 2, but paying a very expensive hotel when the only thing that you do there is sleep? For that is better just to rent one of this capsules that have all the necessary for you to go to sleep and that's it.

If you get to think a little bit when you go to a place, you have a conference, you are going to visit someone else, you are just going to wait until the next day to continue your trip, you just use the hotel to sleep because most of the people have other things to do than just sleeping all day. Therefore I think this is a great idea because, you just don't reduce what you scentially need to sleep, you don't waste so much money, and the idea of learning having less things and just be focused on the important is really significant. No everybody has that concept for their lives.

I consider that the fact that the people in Tokyo made this hotel is very important, now people from other countries can get inspired from this new hotel and make some changes in the hotels of the future.

5 places that you should visit

Malta

Buthan

This article is about 5 not-so-popular places that we should visit once.

Austria

1. Malta: is located in Europe, south from Italy and Greece. "Malta is warm, economical and fully accessible. Making it the perfect alternative place to your most visited neighbors like Greece and Italy." And it has one of the most beautiful beaches and temples.
2. Buthan: is located in south Asia, between China and India. "Known also as one of the happiest countries in the world, Bhutan is peaceful and full of beautiful panoramic views that will delight your eyes." And it has a characteristic that the principal city doesn't have traffic lights.
3. Austria: is located in the center of Europe, near Germany. "It has natural charms that are not far behind compared to Paris, London or Rome. Like: "Art galleries, stately palaces and beautiful museums are accessible via the Vienna subway." And it has a characteristic that is one of the best places to practice ski.
4. Canada: is located in North America, at the north of USA. "Canada has beautiful natural landscapes that offer endless opportunities to explore. Your National Parks will leave you with your mouth open." One of the Natural Parks that Canada offers are the Niagara Falls.



Canada

5. Mozambique: is located in Africa, at the north of South Africa, and at the west of Madagascar. It is "Surrounded by amazing white sand beaches and warm crystal clear Indian Ocean waters, this beautiful island competes against what the Maldives has to offer. Its tourists can enjoy an incredible safari on the Limpopo river, snorkel in the beautiful reef of the tofo coast, surf or live one of the best experiences: Swim with whale sharks and blankets very close to the Bazaruto archipelago."

Mozambique

We all know that once in our lives we have to go to al least one of the most popular cities in the world as London or Paris or New York, but also I think that sometimes we cannot get carried by the trend, and there are other no-so-recognized cities around the world that are beautiful, safe and we can expend good vacations on those cities.

From the list that this article mentions I visited one of the countries: Canada. I went for some weeks and I can say that it was beautiful, very different from the most recognized cities in the world, but I had great vacations there, the people was very nice and friendly and I met a lot of people. So, I think is good to get to know other cultures and try other places rather than going to a place where everybody goes.

Illusory Underwater Waterfalls

Mauritius

This article is about a very particular beach located in Mauritius. Mauritius is an island that is found in Africa, near Madagascar and Mozanbique, and one of the beaches has something in the water that can be seen depending on the point of view of the person.
The sand and water combined together in one of the coasts of the island creates an optical illusion and it looks like an underwater waterfall within the ocean.
According to the article, what science explains is that in reality there is no such waterfall in the water, it is just the impression of the sand and the movement of the water that it looks as if there is the waterfall inside it.
Huffington Post declares this island as one of the most beautiful islands in the Indian Ocean.

I discovered this underwater waterfall few years ago and I was so so impressed that I loved the view of them under the water. At the beginning I couldn't understand how there was a waterfall UNDER the water if normally waterfalls are outside the water...normally...but then I read that in reality it was an illusory image.

I really really love those gifts that nature gives us. And I consider that these underwater waterfalls in Mauritius are a gift from nature because you cannot see them in any other part of the world. I think is magnificent this illusory image from the sand and the water because it really really really looks like a waterfall.

The 10 best places to watch the Northern Lights

Canada

Alaska

Greenland

Iceland

Finland

Norway

This article is about the 10 best places to see the Northern Lights around the world.

Arctic Circle

It also explains how the Northern Lights are formed. According to the article, there is an accepted theory that they are formed from electrons and protons that comes from the radiation that emits the Sun, and then, they are deflected by the Earth's magnetic field. And then, the phenomenon is produced when the solar wind comes in contact with the north and south poles of the terrestrial magnetosphere, which produces then the lights.
And finally, it gives pictures from the 10 best places to see the Northern Lights:

Siberia

1. Alaska, USA
2. Saskatchewan, Canada
3. Greenland
4. Iceland
5. Tromso, Norway
6. Lofoten Islands, Norway
7. Finland 
8. Arctic circle, as Utsjoki, Finland
9. Siberia 
10. From an airplane

I loved this article. Since I was a child I have been interested in everything related to the Northern Lights, I think is very interesting those lights that are reflected in the sky.

From an airplane

At the beginning I didn't know why those lights were formed, but with this article I discovered that those lights are formed due to the particles that come from the Sun's radiation. And

I consider this as a phenomenon that nature gives us. And it cannot be seen from any city in the world, no, it is special, and just in some places it can be seen. So, is why I think it needs to be considered as a special gift that nature creates, and we are able to see it and to appreciate it.

Underwater bridge

Holland-Flevoland, Netherlands

This article is about an underwater bridge that was constructed in Holland in 2002. The particularity of this bridge is that it is a canal bridge for ships, and the cars go under the water canal.

The engineers created this bridge that connects the continental area of Holland and the artificial island Flevoland.

The bridge has 3 meters of depth. It has sidewalks for the pedestrians. And more than 28.000 cars use this bridge, while the ships can travel on the top of the ship comfortably.

I like the fact that this very particular bridge is totally different from the bridges that we are used to see. Because, the normal bridges that humans have made comes from the idea of the natural bridges made of wooden log on the top of the rivers.

Normal bridges that we are used to see are like the Golden Bridge in California and London Bridge in London, but a lot of times big ships had problems with those bridges because they can't pass below the bridge. So, those bridges needed to have like a gate in order to let the ship pass without any problems. But the problem was on top of the bridge, with the cars, because when the gates opened the people in there needed to wait for the gates to open and to close before continuing their trip to the other side.

And now, this new type of bridge allows any type of ship to go on it, and the cars are able to go under the underwater bridge without any disturbances. That is what I like about this innovation of bridges, I think is an excellent idea of solving problems.

UFO

Valparaiso, Chile

This article is about an Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) that was found in Chile more than 2 years ago by some persons in an helicopter.
The article explains that on November 11th of 2014 two passengers of a naval helicopter saw an UFO in the clouds, but that it was not visible with the normal camera or with the eye, the UFO was visible by the infrared (IR) spectrum.
In the article they mention that the object was at the same speed than the helicopter, and that twice in 10 minutes the UFO ejected a unknown material to the air, some people thought that it was water but it may not be water. The scientists don't know yet what was that material.
And that in 2 years some organizations and scientists tried to explain what was this object, the origin, etc, but they couldn't explain it.

For me these types of news are really interesting, I start to get excited when I see something that has a relationship with astronomy or beings from other regions. And all of this excitement is because I know that outside our planet there must be something else, we may not be the only people living in ALLLLL the universe, because the universe is too big for just us.

One of the things that really intrigues me is how does that people/beings/whatever looks like. Are they like us? What do they eat? Do they respire? What components are they bodies made of? And stuff like that. And mostly, if they live in a star, in another galaxy, in another planet, in the moon, in another frequency.

That is why I like those movies like Star Wars or Star Trek, because they know other species, they live with other species, they found how to travel at light speed, etc. I really liked this article because was the first time that I really saw an UFO, even thought it was thru a camera, it doesn't matter, I saw the black oval.

Wattway - first solar highway

Normandy, France

This article is about the first solar highway that was inaugurated in France in 2016. It was built in a small village in Normandy, they built a 1000km solar panel road which cost was about €5 million and it was financed by the state.
They are going to test the road for two years to see how the panels works, how much energy do they get, and how it behaves with the cars passing in the top of it.
One of the main
The panels were made with silicon, which is a primate component of photo voltaic cells, they are going to provide approximately 280 megawatts per hour in a year. It has a characteristic that can resist to all types of climates. And it can be placed in a normal highway but the highway cannot have any holes.
The article also says that there are other countries in Europe that are doing the same project as France did. 2 of these countries are the Netherlands and UK. In Netherlands they are doing a solar path for bikes since 2014.

I think this highway is fantastic. It is so modern and so ecologic in a way. And at the same time, it takes solar energy in order to convert it to the energy that we use!

I really really like when the countries around the world do these types of things, when they implement good ideas to capture energy from the sun because it is in an ecologic way and they are not damaging the environment. And it when they implement these ideas it means that they are worried about the climate changes, and they are promoting ways to create energy that will help them and at the same time will help the environment.

For me this is an innovative and good way to get energy from our main source: the sun, because is the only and the biggest star in our solar system. And I consider that it is not a difficult way to get something from the environment without hurting it, which nowadays is very difficult to achieve.
