Blue Eyes

When we go to the world, we see a lot of people with variety of styles. If you are a European, you may have blue, brown or green eyes. If you are African, you may have black eyes. If you are are Asian, you may have black, or dark brown eyes. We felt very exotic for eyes each other because we couldn't change them.
People in the world always were impressive for them, and tried to made some products such as color contact lens.

However, recently, a California's doctor succeeded to remove the black melanin from the eyes. Check this out!



Many people longed for this "Blue Eye" transform. Maybe, for many Hollywood stars, this is a good news.

According to news sources, recently, backpackers are rich. They tend to stay for a long time at the same place, and join their favorite activities such as surfing, English learning, and so on. One of them is "beauty treatment."According to a little old news sites(2011), the cost is $5,000 each. How many travelers try to get it? Is it expensive for them?



In my view, I don't want anyone to change without the needs. I'm a little old fashioned? or just it's right? However, this is very important, especially, in some countries such as the United States.

Spring Break is near. Students can do a lot of things within this term. They can travel across the country, try to make a partner, enjoy surfing, skiing, shopping, training etc. How active these days for your purposes are very important. Plan when you have time, find as soon what you want, and be hot for the days!

Myself

When I showed this blog to my friends, they told me, "You should have your avatar." Originally, I don't like to create or upload my avatar and photo. I have ever opened my things online. Also, at first, this was for my friends who traveled last summer. Creating this blog was just for the reason. 

People don't know who I am. I thought it's interesting way because I can start at zero position. I was wondering how many people come to my blog. In fact, this is not always big figure, but more than 200 for a months(When London Olympics was opened, this had more than 500 visitors for a month). I'm not sure this is a big figure or not. However, this doesn't have any links, and also this doesn't have any friend's list. I think it's good.

Well, here, a little about me. I'm not an American, and not a native speaker. I'm a male, and my age is much older than common students. I sometimes get near the city, and I use public transportation for this. I'm a college student. My eyes are dark brown, and my hairs are black. I like coffee. I'm 70 inches tall, and 130 pound. What do you imagine my figure?


How are these? Can you see a little about me?

Travel Tips: Condition

Do you like fitness? People everyday fit. When they travel, they naturally do it. Last summer, I wrote about this a little. Even backpackers, they want to fit.

When people travel, they hump their backpacks on their shoulder. Their body balances are not always good. This sometimes yields knee problems and back pains. If you are an athlete, you maybe don't have any problems, but if you don't do any sports or daily training, you may suffer a serious condition.

One thing I recommend to do is stretching. You can try on your bed. If you are an early bird, you can try at the beach and park. Before you walk around, this is very important. Even you don't walk around, it works. Stretching is effective for economy class syndrome.

Water is also important for your travel. If you walk around, please bring some water bottles. If you tend not to take water much everyday, please take more care of you. People need more than half a gallon(2 litters) water for a day. More than 60% of our bodies consist of water! If you worry about this, you can use some apps for your reminders. Please check on Google Play, iTunes Store, Windows Store etc.

Chinese New Year

There are many calendars in the world. One of the most biggest ones is Chinese Calendar. Tomorrow, February 10 is the new year for it.

Chinese Calendar is based on the Lunar Calendar. According to some Internet sites, Islamic calendar, and Nepali's Calendar also based on the moon phases. Therefore, the new year days are different from calendars.

I remember the crescent moon is on some Islam countries' flags. Also the International Red Cross flags in Islam countries are too. We realize how the moon is important for the culture.

Rio Carnival

Update 2/6: I corrected the spelling of Joao Gilberto. (People can't talk about Bossa Nova without Joao Gilberto and Antonio Carlos Jobim.) 

Rio Carnival is one of the world famous fun. However, this event is based on religion. Now this is a travel blog, I depend on the these complicated things on the Internet sites:-)

"The Girl from Ipanema" (1964)
Joao Gilberto & Antonio Carlos Jobim

Rio De Janeiro is one of the biggest cities in Brazil. It has more than 6,000,000 population. It has beautiful beaches such as "Copacabana" and "Ipanema." These beaches are important resources of the tourism. "Cristo Redentor" is the most famous landmark.

"Rio Carnival" is the biggest event of the city. Originally, this parade is from the Catholic "Carnival." However, for the bold and sexual expressions, the Catholic Churches still don't permit it as a religion event. Rio De Janeiro has some "Samba Schools." Every year, they perform and compete at the contests. According to the websites, one group of the parade is with several thousands people. People enjoy all night long for the crazy parade. Rio Carnival in 2013 starts from February 8.

For the event, please check this: Rio Carnival Official Site ( http://www.rio-carnival.net/ )

"Aquarela do Brasil" 
by Joao Gilberto

Brazilian music is very fun. If the dynamic music is "samba," today's choices are "static." These music are called "Bossa Nova." Please check both of them, and enjoy your travel days. I believe you can find the both comfortable moments for your time. (If you want to try "Aquarela do Brasil" in Samba, Check this on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aeBq5H3O2I )

Well, here is the information related to Brazil. Please check this.
Like this nightclub fire happens sometimes. Seeing the news, these happens not only in Brazil, but worldwide. Especially in Southeast Asian countries such as Indonesia and Thailand, a lot of travelers became the victims. Anyway, for the laws about drinking, crimes, "coming of age" and so on, countries normally limit these nightclubs entrances with ID. Then the exits are originally limited. When you get a busy and jam place, please take care of yourself, and enjoy your travel days.
