If I were to travel...

If I were to travel, I would chose to go to Malta.

My Mums side of the family is from Malta, so I have been brought up surrounded by Maltese culture, food, and language. Can I speak Maltese? Nope. Which is a shame, however since I've heard it all my life, I can comfortably sit in a room full of my relatives who are speaking Maltese (loudly) and waving their hands, and I can even gather a bit of what they are saying.

I hear the stories of Malta from my Nana (Grandma) and Nanu (Grandpa), and I see the sadness in their eyes that their beloved country is changing rapidly, but their joy and pride is certainly evident!

It excites me to, hopefully, travel to Malta one day and visit places I've only seen in pictures yet heard so much about.

Fuji-Q Highland - Home to the roller coaster world records Are you a thrill seeker? Perhaps you'd call yourself an adrenaline junkie? Well if that's how you see yourself, then Fuji Q is a must go when visiting Japan. It is obvious that Mt Fuji is one of the main tourist attractions in Japan, however, people never seem to consider FujiQ.  Why not get more bang for your buck? FujiQ is a theme park situated at the base of Mt Fuji, which means that you can essentially see Mt Fuji, as well as enjoy yourself on the thrilling rides the theme park has to offer.  In my personal experience, the long train ride was well worth it, especially if you have a group of friends to support you during your journey.  Now I'm betting your wondering, what exactly makes Fuji-Q different to any other ordinary theme park?  Fuji-Q is home to the many of the world's record holding roller coasters, as well as two haunted houses which operate all day with highly specialised ac

Disney Sea - Nostalgic for both you and me

Disney Sea - Nostalgic for both you and me It isn't much of a surprise for Disney Sea to be a place of extreme nostalgia for the current generation of teens, and even the older generation of parents in our day and age. With references to Disney favourites such as Mickey Mouse, and perhaps even newer Disney icons such as Indiana Jones, regardless of what age group you are, you're bound to have a blast.  It should be duly noted that an early arrival at Disney Sea is of paramount importance if you want to secure those prized quick pass tickets that allow surpassing of the long and dreaded lines that exist in all major theme parks.  With an amazing light show, as well as delicious chicken and turkey legs, the food and entertainment segment is covered. However, for those that are adrenaline junkies, fear not, because the Toy Story ride is just right for you!  So, what in the world are you waiting for? Take a trip down memory lane, and visit Disney Sea ASAP
