Lantau Island is the largest island in Hong Kong. There is a spectacular cable car known as the Ngong Ping 360. It is considered to be the longest in Asia. Being there during the Chinese New Year is amazing. It is the same New Year that has made us take their symbols into our own calendar. Characters for the year can be horses, dragons, snakes or even rabbits. Confusion sometimes arises when deciding whether a year can be characterized by the rabbit or the cat. This is because of the multi tone of the word “cat”. The road towards the big Buddha as many other streets of Hong Kong are always decorated on the first day of the first moon on the Chinese lunar calendar This marks the beginning of a new year.

Magnificent Place Tibet Homeland of Everest
May 26th, 2011 Amrita Kaur If you happen to be in Tibet for the first time, you won’t probably manage to escape so-called mountain disease. Any pills and natural adaptogens (weather it’s ginger, garlic, bat wings and toad livers) won’t surpass the chief doctor called time. Your mortal body itself must adapt to high altitude. During the first 7-10 days you’ll have to live with terrible headache 24 hours a day trying to appease it with various vitamins. Sometimes it’ll seem that you’re like in jelly. Your mood will change at the speed of sound varying from pig squeals of delight caused by nonsense to old man’s grumbling and a desire to tell each and all to go to hell. But then it all will be OVER and you’ll feel the pure pleasure of being in such a marvelous place.
