The courtyard of the mansion has number of restaurants offering authentic Jamaican cuisine. I tasted the best jerk chicken in the whole town here in the restaurant called Rum Roast and Royal. It’s an ideal place to pick up some local handy craft items, as many locals have their stalls here selling goods. Along with that every year local artists display their goods in the craft fair organized during Easter, Independence and Christmas day.

The tour happens in Atlantis submarine which carry almost 64 passengers and it will take you in the deepest abyss possible in the ocean.

As you take the dive in the submarine (which I must say is very comfortable and spacious, as I am a claustrophobic) you get to see never seen before aquatic life. So as you dive deep into the sea and peep out of the circular windows do expect to see sting rays, sharks, green turtles, yellow tangs, eels, and other marine flora and fauna.

I was completely bewildered to see variety of life underwater, which is really hard to see even when you are scuba diving. I would suggest taking your whole family on such a ride of life because it’s not only fun but educational for kids also.
Well the whole experience comes with a price tag; the average cost of such a tour is approximately $110 for adults and around $50 for kids. The tour generally last for 1 and a half hour but trust me these 1 and a half hours will be remembered by you, your entire life.

Gear up for the longest Escalator ride in Hong Kong

Perhaps Hong Kong’s Central-Mid-Levels Escalator is the most eccentric way of commuting inside the town. Built in 1994, the escalator carries almost 60,000 people form point A to B every day. When I first heard about the escalator, I was pretty much amazed but my amusement went out of proportion when locals told me that they use the escalator to reach work.

Trust me, that locals form the Mid Level area hop on to this gigantic escalator to reach central town for work and vice versa. The complete and complex network of escalators covers almost 800 meter of distance and elevates you to the height of 135 meters. The escalator has very complex timing also, from 6.00 AM to 10 AM it runs down hill and from 10.15 AM to 12.00 AM runs uphill.

The ride on the world’s largest escalator last for almost 30 minutes one way. As I climbed uphill on the escalator going through the Soho District, I enjoyed some of the spectacular view of Hong Kong and it’s Down-Town. In the evening the escalator is crowded by couples, locals and tourists to enjoy the great views of the Wet Market and Dai Pai Dong. The escalator has many junctions in between where you can take a pit stop and capture magnificent Hong Kong’s skyline in your camera.

Commuting through Escalator is the best way of exploring Hong Kong according to me for following reasons.
• There are no charges for this invention of modern Hong Kong i.e. it’s completely FREE.
• It gives spectacular view of Hong Kong, so people like me who love to take pictures it will offer them a perfect panorama.
• Ideal place to get involved with locals however avoid busy hours as locals really hate to share their space when they are going for work.

Halifax, Nova Scotia
I love Halifax and trust me I really do! This is one city which has everything I look up for in a vacation destination. It has everything from metropolitan feel to being safe in downtown and from beaches to picture perfect gardens. The best part of the city is that it has many things to do which are absolutely free or almost free. I remember on saving couple of dollars on my last visit as most of my vacation went checking out free things.

• Public Gardens

The garden open’s seasonally, is one of the best and spectacular gardens I have been to, after Central Park in New York City. The Garden offers perfect escape from the maddening and crazy hustle of the Spring Garden Road, so do start your day out from here. The garden is a perfect place of have long strolls with your partners, while you smell the fragrance of thousands of flowers over soft cushiony green grass. The park has many rare and exotic species of plants, trees, and flowers from all over the world and the best part the park is completely FREE…

So after the Public Garden, head towards downtown. Halifax’s downtown is located on a slope which eventually ends up at the beach. So do take the pleasure of exploring the new city’s downtown on feet by just ducking in and out of the shops and streets. Here be ready to run into tons of eating places, specialty stores, fashion boutiques and art galleries.

• Party and Post party Breakfast

Halifax boasts of its young and happening crowd, all because of huge student population. So weekends are party days and what else can be more happening then the Split Crows with their beers and live music? It is one of the best joints to mingle with the locals and the drinks here are very cheap.

Authentic Chinese Junk Experience in Hong Kong

Duk Ling Junk Boat
Hong Kong offers too many things to do while on a vacation, but above all taking a ride in authentic Chinese Junk is one of the best and the most memorable things to do. It is probably one of the most enjoyable and impressive way to discover Hong Kong.

There are many private tour operators which offer such kind of tours, however I would suggest taking the tour operated by the Hong Kong Tourism Board. The Hong Kong Tourism Board or HKTB (For further reference) offers a tour in a junk called Duk Ling (which means Clever Duck in English); it is one of the authentic and still operational junk left.

So as I took the ride which generally last an hour, I was left completely mesmerized by the spectacular view of Hong Kong. When I was taking the tour I almost felt like that I have teleported to ancient China and I am a Chinese fisherman trading opium. The Junk was really old and very well kept. The best part of the junk I found was the deck where you can stand endlessly and stare at the panoramic skyline of Hong Kong.

The average cost of the tour is HK$100, which I completely agree is way too much but I guess it cost a lot to keep these junks operational, so no fight about it at all! The tour which I took departed from the Victoria Harbor, which is yet another best location of Hong Kong. So howsoever going fo0r a vacation to this fabulous town of east should try the Junk ride. It completely worth it!

During this time numerous artists and recording companies presents their talents at much bigger venues like Westside Concert Theatre.

When I was there last year during the awards it felt that the town was high on some musical note. I would suggest that during this time make sure you do pub hopping to catch as many musicians as you can. The final award function happens in Mohawk College’s McIntyre Theatre; make sure you reach the venue at least 3 hours in advance. Lines are very long here and I almost missed half of the concert last year due to that, but the award ceremony worth all the pain I took to reach in. So be there in November if music gets you high.

African Lion Safari in Hamilton

If you are up for something scary and thrilling, then African Lion Safari is the place for you. Trust me I have not seen Lions much in my life other then few times in Zoos and Circus when I was a kid. In my last trip to Hamilton with my family I saw these kings of the jungle in their natural habitat roaming freely.

Well Hamilton is one of the most crowded towns in Canada and undoubtedly has many things to do. But probably if you ask me I would suggest everyone to go for African Lion Safari when in Hamilton. It’s an amazing place to enjoy a sunny day out with your friends and family, while you cruise slowly in your car checking out more than 1000 animals from over 100 species.

I visited this natural park with my family and I was completely overwhelmed by the experience. My kids loved it, I mean for the first time my kids and even me saw a full grown lion roaming freely around my car. It gave us a very unreal mixed feeling of anxiety, thrill and fear. The park gives you the opportunity to either hire a bus or go around in your own car, but make sure with you windows up and please do not feed the animals a strict no-no by the natural reserve authorities.

Along with the car ride, the park also offers the many shows where they show parrots performing acts. In the walking area of the park you can view exotic species of birds, the park also have shows just like in circus where they will make animals like elephants, parrots and other animals performing tricks for visitors. So if you are on a vacation to Hamilton then do make a point to take your family there, as you kids going to love it.
