When I visited the Land of Athena

May 30, 2012 By: Calvin Moore Category: Destination

Reading Greek mythology is a thrilling experience. With various gods, behaving like human beings, fighting with each other, loving each other, it is considered as humanization of the concept of Gods. Or in other words, Greek mythology tells us that the God is very much within us or we too are gods. Athena, the beautiful goddess has always attracted me a lot. That could be the reason I got thrilled when I got a chance to Visit Athens. Athena is the ruling deity of Athens.

I got the chance as a part of a competition held in our city. The sponsors will provide to and fro cheap airfares tickets. Rest everything I have to take care. Being the capital of Greece, the city has a significant place. Hence, almost all airlines are operating flights to Athens. When I landed in the airport, it was like some other world for me. As I came out and proceeded to the hotel reserved for me, the feeling increased. With a smooth blending of ancient and modern architecture, the city felt like an alien world. I felt proud to drive through the roads where Athena might have walked once. Zeus and Prometheus might have ridden their horses once. I felt as being with gods. An experience you can feel only in this city of Athena.

It was a week’s trip I have planned and I have collected the information about various places I have to visit. The first one I preferred was Omonoia Square, which is the oldest square in this oldest city. Fortunately my hotel was situated there only. Now this square is a busy area with many hotels and shops. I met a few tourists there. They told me that as there were many cheap ticket airline services are operating to Athens, the journey is not as expensive as it was earlier. As there are many cheap flights to Athens, more and more visitors are expected in the future.

A number of monuments are there in this city that displays the rich heritage. These include the monuments of Romans and Byzantines. The architecture differs from ancient Greek to Roman and Byzantines architectures. This blend of various architectures gives the city a heavenly look.

The city looks more beautiful in nights. With a clear sky and a lot of neon lambs it was really glittering. When I was enjoying my regular peg, sitting on the balcony of my hotel, an asteroid moved fast in the sky. It may be some angels flying to pass the message of my presence in Athens to Athena. I thought.

After spending a week there, it was really painful for me to leave the city. Still I had to do that. Anyway, I have already decided to come back to this city as I want to breathe the same air which Athena might have breathed. As many airlines are offering cheap international tickets to Athens, I don’t think it will be an expensive affair.

Viva Cancun - The Vortex of Culture

May 30, 2012 By: Calvin Moore Category: Destination

As part of a cross-cultural exchange program, I was scheduled to visit Cancun- the culture capital of Mexico. So I decided to book a cheap airfares to Cancun   through any of the suitable airlines like Delta airlines, Air Transat or AeroMexico. I heard there are plenty of plush hotels there like Ritz-Carlton, Marriott, Le Meridien etc.

Finally I got a good airlines deal of $367 from Los Angeles and landed at the Hilton Hotel there. I found the cabs slightly expensive and decided to board a bus instead for the rest of my tours.

Cancun’s Cultural Extravaganza:
A coastal city in the town of Quintana Roo, Cancun has been declared as a city of international tourism development containing rich cultural and world heritage sites. Formerly an ancient Mayan Capital, Cancun is dotted with several magnificent architectural wonders dating back to the Mayan and Spanish Conquistador era.

Chichen Itza & its cultural wonders:
Situated in the adjoining Yucatan state at a two and half hour driving distance from Cancun, the Chichen Itza is also called one of the new 7 world wonders. An archeological site depicting Mayan culture, this site dates back to 485 AD to 1200 AD. It enlivens the rituals and traditions of the Mayans and Toltecs and their sun-worship.

El Castillo:
The main pyramid of Kukulcan or El Castillo was supposed to be built over a Jaguar shaped temple and used to contain a Chac Mool Statue. Comprising of 91 steps on all 4 sides leading to the seat of the throne at the top, El Castillo looked majestic and marvelous.

Resembling a pyramid, the El Castillo or Castle has a great astronomical significance. On the day of the Autumn Solstice or the Spring Equinox, the shadow of the pyramid is said to resemble a snake which coincides with the snake head at the top. I sure would like to see that. So I will plan a cheap flight to Cancun to coincide with the equinox next time.

The Mayan Ballpark:
This Mayan Stadium used to serve as their favorite soccer ground and has carvings on its walls to denote the rules of the game. This spectacular stadium is said to resound with unique echoes. What an eerie experience!

The Temple of the Warriors:
At the Temple of the Warriors, there was an imposing reclining Chac Mool statue and a Nunnery. This temple also called the Temple of the Thousand Columns has a sacrificial altar where steaming human hearts were offered. This reminded me of Mel Gibson’s “Apocalypto” which I saw on my flight to Cancun.

The Cenote of sacrifice:
The Cenote is a natural 60 m deep well where enemies of the Mayans, six-foot warriors, fair maidens and even infants were tossed.

The Snail:
This was the last of the Chichen Itza series .Called the Caracol or Snail; it had a spiral staircase which led to an observatory.

Cancun’s cultural fetes:

Throughout the year from March-May and October to December, Cancun is all agog with Christian festivals, parades, carnivals and fetes. I decided to come back to Cancun in any of these days on a cheap international tickets to bathe in the cultural bounty of this coastal town.

In the Land of Valiant Lord

May 17, 2012 By: Calvin Moore Category: Destination

Puerto Rico, the small island commonwealth nation is also called as Bonken in the indigenous language which means the land of Valiant lord. This nation, which had an agricultural economy has changed to manufacturing sector and started thriving in that sector. Presently its economy is mainly based on the petrochemical industries and the pharmaceutical industries and considered a rich nation. I have not heard about this country much and when I got an offer to visit this place for an official purpose, I have started collecting information about the place. Along with the information I have started enquiries about the cheap tickets, cheap airline flights to this place and also about various cheap airfares to Puerto Rico.

Though almost all major airlines in the region such as Hawaiian Airlines, Alaskan Airlines are operating flights to this country, I found it very difficult to get tickets in those airlines. Almost all cheap flights to Puerto Rico will be full throughout the year as a large number of people are visiting this island. When some people visit this city for business purposes, being a hot destination there are a large number of tourists are also visiting the city regularly. Anyway, I have managed to get one of the international tickets to Puerto Rico and reached there on time.

Since my schedule was hectic I did not get time for sightseeing for the first three days. Still I could enjoy various cultural shows at different venues in the evenings. The atmosphere here is always filled with music and the culture of this island nation has a good influence of music. More clearly, there is no life in this tiny nation without music.

Just like the music in Puerto Rico, the shopping is also a good entertainment here. The most fascinated thing I have seen here is the statues of three kings. Almost in every shop you can see three kings and I have seen a lot of locals purchasing it to keep it in their homes. They believe that by keeping three kings in their homes the fortune will come.

Though there are many big shopping malls in the city such as Plaza Las Americas, I preferred to wander in the streets of Old San Juan. There are a good number of wayside vendors who are selling different things for cheaper prices. Here also I found the three kings and I purchased one for me. I hope this will bring luck to me also as Puerto Ricans believe.

The most amusing thing I have witnessed here is the presence of music in the air everywhere. Even while shopping, Puerto Ricans cannot avoid music. Even the wayside vendors are keeping music in high volume to attract customers. Though I did not smoke I purchased a pack of Puerto Rican cigar as a souvenir of my trip. It was wrapped in attractive packet.

When the time has come for me to return I felt sad that I have to leave this music filled atmosphere. I got acquainted with the music here and now I will have to go back to a place where you can hardly hear music.

Visiting the Maritime City

May 17, 2012 By: Calvin Moore Category: Destination

Long back I had read in some books about Norway and its capital Oslo. The city has been considered the maritime centre of Europe with more than 2000 companies and more than 10000 people engaged in different works in maritime sector. However I have never thought that I will get a chance to visit this city. Hence it was quite a surprise for me when I was asked by company to go to Oslo on an official assignment. As I have enough time to prepare for the journey, I have done an extensive exercise to get   cheap flight tickets. I have taken the airfares of various airlines like Air France, British Airways etc before settling for cheap tickets to Oslo. And I have started my journey as per the schedule.

Though I have used on of the cheap airfares to Oslo, the flight was not bad. They have provided enough conveniences in the flight and that is why the journey was not troublesome. From the day one itself I have started my work. The city has a lot of parks and other recreation centers and I used to spend my evenings in some of such places. Frogner Park, which is the largest park in the city has a distinction of having a huge collection of sculptures by Gustav Vigeland. I could not forget the evening I spent there. Each sculpture was trying to convey some message and I enjoyed their company very well. There I met some couples from my city. They used to visit this city frequently as they like the climate there and they have many friends there. Being one of the major cities in Europe and being an important place as far as maritime sector considered, a large number of visitors are coming to the city frequently. Hence almost all major airlines are operating flights to Oslo.

The city also has a rich cultural heritage and there are many venues for performing arts and galleries and museums for entertaining tourists. A large number of art lovers are visiting this city to take part in various cultural events and the introduction of international tickets to Oslo has come as a blessing for them.

Anyway, the most unforgettable event in my tour was my shopping experience. The city is known for its fashion dresses and accessories. There are many big and small outlets for fashionable outfits and accessories in and around the city. When some are costlier, there are some small outlets who are dealing in cheaper varieties too. I have visited a small shop in the indoor shopping street near Karl Johan. The shop was not visible from outside. I was just wandering in the huge shopping complex where I located this small shop. I really got surprised to see the varieties of dresses they have in their shop. It was comparatively cheaper too.

When I was returning from my trip I had a bag full of fashion outfits I had purchased from Oslo.
