Street Life

istanbul / Street / 2012 / 

We know that you always looking for nice,clean & cheap hotels.. But what makes a city so desirable ? 

History,beaches, pubs, casinos etc.. 

From my perspective the most important thing is " street ".. I need to feel fascinated .. Because streets are the mirrors of the whole belongings of a city. You can see the life in the streets. Streets are living, they can be young, they can be old.

2012 Travel Trends - Top Destinations

Croatia, Vietnam and Panama were named as "up and coming" destinations in an annual survey of 640 travel agents and owners from Travel Leaders. For top 10 international destinations based on 2012 booking data, the Travel Leaders survey listed Caribbean cruises; Cancun, Mexico; Playa del Carmen, Mexico; Mediterranean cruises; Rome; London; Punta Cana, Dominican Republic; Paris; Montego Bay and Negril, Jamaica.

Fodor's Bowen put Cuba on her list of top destinations for 2012. U.S. citizens can now travel to Cuba legally even if they don't have relatives there under new U.S. State Department regulations permitting certain types of trips. "Everyone wants to get in to see the country before everything changes," Bowen said.

But it hasn't been easy for tour companies to meet State Department standards, which require itineraries to have a religious, humanitarian or educational purpose. Some Cuba trips — including Abercrombie & Kent's — have been canceled or postponed.

Interest in Myanmar also is increasing. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton visited, and an organization founded by activist Aung San Suu Kyi said it welcomes responsible tourism. Abercrombie & Kent has filled several tours and just added another departure for fall 2012.

So let's see some photos of Myanmar ;
