Aurora Borealis








Just find out this place,,, I think this place is incredible….

Aurora Borealis (an electric display of atmospheric fireworks) is a natural lightshow, it is look like a shimmering stream or colorful light at night. This lace is will be unbelievable thing to believe, but sometimes aurora can be disappointingly monochrome.

To see this amazing thing, you have to travel to Reykjavik, Iceland. The best seasons are October to March, late autumn is the best time to go there.

Not only at Iceland you can see this wonder, you can find this at Alaska or Greenland or some others place. Unfortunately, you cannot predict when the light is going to show up…

You can find Aurora forecast on Internet, you could search for “space weather”.

Well.. I think this wonder of the world is amazing place… I really want to go there..^__^ I curious with the light….

Vatnajokull - Iceland, Northern Europe






Now we move to Iceland, Northern Europe ^___^

This place is natural wonder of the world…

Vatnajokull is the largest glacier in Europe. There are some volcanoes under the glacier that make this a volcanic glacier lake.

This huge white mass covering the southeast area of the country is one of the most eyes catching when you see the map of Iceland. When eruptions occur from under the glacier, they will actually lift the ice like a fluffy white blanket.

Vatnajokull lies within the Skaftafell National Park, each year there are thousands of visitors come to hike, ski, sled and skidoo over its surface.

You can get there by road from Hofn. Hofn has an airport and is 8 hours bus ride from Reykjavik. The best time to go there is between May to August. One thing you should know is traversing the glacier is potentially dangerous, especially in winter time.

I think this is a nice destination for hikers. I am not a hiker, but I will love to go there to see the incredible nature view… ^___^

Bora Bora - Overseas Collection of France











Welcome to the Island of Dream ^__^

Bora Bora is considered the most beautiful island in the world because of it's extraordinary lagoon and water hues, and its spectacular resorts "floating" on the turquoise water overlooking picture-perfect mount Otemanu.


Well, many people said that Bora Bora is the most beautiful island in the world and I think I agree with that. From many pictures that I saw, Bora Bora is really lovely place, just like paradise... I like all the other islands that I saw, but this island really freak me out. I do not know when I have opportunity to visit there.

Bora Bora is located on Pacific Ocean, it is a society island archipelago and an overseas collection of France.

This island will be one of the best romantic islands for honeymoon in the world. Yeah, my big wish is I can go to Bora Bora for my honeymoon event later. You need to prepare high budget for this island. Instead of high price on vacation package, the accommodations also will be so expensive over there.

If you see Bora Bora from the air, it is look like a tiny emerald in a setting of turquoise, encircled by a sheltering necklace of sparkling pearls.

The size of island is pretty small, you can go around for only couple hours by car.

You can do some activities at Bora Bora such as shark feeding that is totally save and fun, gray rays, take a circle the lagoon excursion with motu picnic, rent a small boat or visit the lagoonarium.

Well, I guess you guys agree with me right???

This place is so AMAZING!!!

Besides shopping, there is marine-themed amusement park called “Ocean Park”. You can see couple of giant panda in the park. You also can go to Hong Kong Disneyland that was opened on September 2005.

Hong Kong also have beaches, the top five are Stanley Beach with the cleanest water, Silvermine Bay Beach also has the cleanest water, Shek O Beach has an excellent quality of water and best beach for surfing, Deepwater Bay Beach with poor quality of water and Sai Kung Beach with very clean water.

The climate is almost the same as USA.

May to August -- Summer

September to October – Autumn

For the currencies, 1 U.S. $ = 7.80 Hong Kong dollars.

Well, a lot thing you can do in Hong Kong. I guarantee that you are going to love this city. ^__^
