All The Things You Need To Remember When Going To North Korea

Holiday & Travel

North Korea is a hermit country often associated with Communism and its strife with South Korea. In fact, some people think that North Korea is closed even for tourists. This is because only a few people visit and exit the country. However, there are still a great many places to see here and what makes the country more interesting is the fact that barely anyone has an idea of what goes on in North Korea.

If you are planning a trip here, it’s best that you take a moment to know how you should behave here or at the very least, familiarize yourself with what to do and what not to do. There are very few travel guides on the country. So we’ve put together this guide to let you know what to expect and help make things easier for you when you arrive in this culturally unique destination.

All your photos will be screened

Before you even leave the country, all your photos will be screened. There are times when an officer will ask you to delete a certain photo and you should always remember to follow them. There is no point in fighting as this can cost your life.

At the same time, there are places where cameras are not allowed and tour guides will ask you to keep cameras away. There are places and scenes that should never be recorded and for your sake, do not venture to steal shots.

There is no wi-fi

Although you can buy a sim card when you get to North Korea, don’t expect to find wi-fi areas. There is only one place where you can get a wi-fi connection and that is in Masik Ski Resort. If you have any correspondence needed to be done, you should ask your hotel’s e-mail address so that you can use it to send e-mails outside the country.

You are required to bow down to statues of their leaders

Whether you are a local or not, you are required to bow down to every statue of a North Korean leader you will see. There are no exceptions to this, so if you have strong feelings against it, it would be best to avoid places that have statues. Another way to show respect is not pointing fingers on any leader, even if it’s a statue. If you are going to address a leader or point towards the statue’s direction, then point using one whole hand.

You should never call it North Korea

The right way to call the country (at least when you are there) is by calling it “Democratic People’s Republic of Korea”. Saying this instead will keep you safe and out of the police’s radar.

Don’t expect to be immersed with the locals

Almost everything in North Korea is controlled or screened so there is little to no room for anything spontaneous. If you plan on talking to some locals, you can say goodbye to that plan because you are only allowed to talk to fellow tourists and your own tour guide. There are no side trips included and it’s not advisable that you wander off alone.

If you still plan to go to North Korea after this, then it’s highly recommended to read more about the country and its etiquette. While it may not sound fun, it will give you a better appreciation of what the country is and how it is run.

Safe Pet Travel In The United States

Holiday & Travel

Should you be travelling internationally with your pet, from either Canada into the USA or the USA into Canada, you should experience relatively few problems although you will still have to bear in mind a few basic regulations if you are flying in instead of driving there. Both citizens from the USA or Canada who are travelling on vacation between the two countries with their pets have to produce a passport or another secure document that will be accepted.

Some good news is that cats do not require a vaccination against rabies to travel into the USA. Bear in mind though that quite a few states and a number of other countries require cats to have had the vaccine before travelling there so make sure that you consult with your veterinarian before travelling and also to find out about the requirements of your destination.

Regarding your dog, remember that a rabies vaccination is a requirement for any dog entering the US should they be coming from a country which has rabies. You have to be in possession of a valid rabies vaccination certificate that’s current for your dog when you travel across borders.

When either entering or leaving the US, every dog must have the appearance of being healthy and all their required vaccinations must be up-to-date. If you do not have a dog or cat as a pet, but rather another type of animal for a pet, there could be some other requirements. Certain animals, such as African rodents or primates (apes or monkeys), will not be allowed to go back into the USA. This rule stands whether or not they came from the USA originally as they cannot be returned there as your pet.

Any pet like a domesticated cat, dog, rabbit, hamster, guinea pig or little household birds are allowed to be taken on flights travelling within the USA. The Animal Welfare Act of the US Department of Agriculture lists that you will not be allowed to take in excess of 2 live kittens or puppies who are eight weeks to six months old, that are of similar size and weighing twenty pounds, to travel with you. This requirement is a good idea to follow for any shipments of pets, no matter the country you are travelling to.

Before you travel, it would be best to ensure that the vaccinations of your pet are current. To this end, make an appointment with your veterinarian to get a health certificate from him/her that has a date which is within ten days of your travel date.

As it is not recommended that your pet is tranquilized before travel because this could cause them to have breathing problems, you should consult with your veterinarian regarding alternative methods to ensure that your pet is relaxed should you feel that they could be afraid, uncomfortable or anxious during the flight. If you are planning on travelling outside of the USA, extra planning and requirements for health care could be needed. You could get in touch with your destination country’s office of foreign affairs before you travel to glean more information regarding health requirements.

Why Choose A Cruise For Your Vacation?

Holiday & Travel

Vacations are often imagined to be a visit to a worthwhile destination which is usually limited to a single country. But why would you limit your holiday to a trip to only one? Country-hopping has become one of the most sought-after vacation ideas wherein you can fit multiple destinations in a single trip. While it may seem costly given the fare and accommodations you would need to prepare for, there are airlines and cruise lines which may offer it as a package.

Do not be discouraged if the package does not suit your preference because you can book the connecting flights by yourself. However, if you are looking for the most convenient way to do country-hopping, booking a cruise is recommended.

Compared to a self-planned trip, a cruise gives you all around convenience because almost everything is planned. From the meals you will be eating to the length of the trip and the destinations, everything has been pre-arranged for you. Unlike a single out-of-the-country trip, you will be able to visit five or more countries over at least a week. On top of that, it only counts as a single trip.

There is a wide variety of cruises a traveller can choose from. Bundles may vary throughout the year. These may range from Southeast Asia trips to the classic Mediterranean cruise, to tropical islands of the world.

Booking a cruise basically gives you the opportunity to explore multiple countries without having to worry about hotel accommodations as well as restaurants where you should eat. Other than these, the cruise experience does not end with the country exploration during the day because cruise lines offer numerous services which you can avail such as a casino, shops, massage lounges, pools, as well as ballrooms.

A cruise also has its setbacks, though.

Individuals will only be given a certain number of hours to visit and explore per destination. Given that, you may not be able to experience the culture of the country nor explore it thoroughly. This is mostly because activities are crammed in the limited time that you have been given. Also, there are certain days that you will be staying in the boat for you are still in the middle of the sea traveling to the next country.

Aside from this, you would have to prepare for hidden costs which may come along the cruise you booked. For example, an excursion trip which you will opt for convenience whenever you dock on a port. This, however, may be avoided by booking excursions ahead of time and not necessarily on the day itself.

Nevertheless, a cruise can offer a one of kind country-hopping experience in a single trip. If you plan to book a cruise, be sure to get the package which can bring you to the destinations you want to visit. Do not forget that it is better to book in advance so that you can prepare well for the trip. This way you can enjoy its entirety.

Lastly, having known the countries you will be visiting upon booking, do some research on the must-sees and activities you can do in each destination.

Hacks On Finding The Most Affordable Flights

Holiday & Travel

One of the things that limit people from traveling is the expensive flights from one country to another. Even before all the accommodation and food expenses are considered, the expensive flights make people not want to go to places anymore. Travel can be a hassle for this and many other reasons. Luckily there are well known travel tips to help smooth things over. For example, did you know that there are hacks to getting cheaper flights? You got that right, follow these few hacks and you might just land yourself in the best flight deals you’ll ever have.

Know when you should book

It’s one thing to know when you plan on going to a place, but knowing when you should book your tickets will save you a lot of money. If you thought that booking at least 6 months away is cheaper, then it’s time to toss that idea out because most airlines only show cheaper flights at most four months before your departure date. Besides, booking too early might just miss your chance of getting promos a few months or weeks before your departure. You can also try following the magic number 60. 60 means 60 days (or 2 months) before your departure date.

Clear cookies or use an incognito tab

According to experts, once airline companies or travel agencies figure out what flights you’re looking for, they can adjust the prices and make them go higher. Clearing your cookies or using an incognito tab or private mode (even if it’s harder to fill out certain details later) leaves no trace of your interests and the airline companies would have to give you the real prices. Also, following the same logic, try to search for one person first and then book in a group.

Try to be flexible

If you’re traveling for a vacation, try to be more flexible when it comes to the dates you will be flying out. Weekend flights are always more expensive than weekday flights and the day that has the cheapest flights almost always fall on a Wednesday.

In much the same way, try to be flexible when it comes to your ETD. Flights are a lot cheaper if their ETD is early in the morning or late at night.

Consider booking one-way trips

Round trip tickets are more expensive, so another hack you should try is first booking a flight leaving one country and then checking another airline or another agency for your return ticket. Besides, it’s almost the same thing because you’re still going to the airport and boarding a plane. If you aren’t too picky, then a change in plane accommodations wouldn’t be a problem.

Choose budget airlines

If your only goal is to get to city A to city B, then a budget airline isn’t so bad. Although expect that leg room isn’t that much and the food isn’t free, but at least you can save thousands of money just by picking a budget airline. Also, there are workarounds to budget airlines that would make your trip more enjoyable. You can find something to do in the plane like a good book or a movie so that you don’t have to be too mindful of your surroundings.

Must Try Dishes In Belgium Aside From Chocolate

Holiday & Travel

It’s a common thing to go chocolate-shopping when you first go to Belgium. You’ll see chocolates everywhere – in stores, street stalls, and tourist destinations. There are numerous locations around the world associated with famous food and drink – such as Champagne in France, the Cornish pasty in Cornwall, the samosa in Delhi and tapas in Madrid – but none of them are as sweet as Belgium.

The association of Belgium with chocolate started way back, during the 17th century when chocolates were first brought to Europe. It became a huge hit and Belgium was one of the countries that made it a big industry. But did you know that the chocolate didn’t exactly originate in Belgium? You read that right, Belgian chocolate does not necessarily mean that Belgium has its own kind of chocolate. It’s just a loose term for any chocolate manufactured in the country.

While there’s a lot of excitement when it comes to Belgium’s chocolate industry, there are a lot of other dishes in the country worth sinking your teeth into. The problem is that not a lot of people are familiar with Belgian food let alone know where they can get these foods. Because of that, this list is supposed to help you look for these drinks and dishes the next time you go to Belgium.

1. Fries

Belgian fries can easily be considered as the national dish of the country because it’s always around. The way the Belgians cook their fries is different from other countries (so don’t call it “french fries”) because of how they cook it. The trick for creating perfect Belgian fries is by frying the cut potatoes twice. The traditional packaging of fries is paper shaped like a cone. Once you taste Belgian fries, you’ll never go back to the other kinds of fries.

2. Speculoos

If there’s a national dish, then there’s also a national snack. Speculoos, the treat that is often made on St. Nicholas’ Day on December 6, are small spiced biscuits made from cinnamon, ginger, pepper, coriander, nutmeg, cloves, and cardamom. These spices when joined together create a harmony that you can eat along with your bread or you can dip on your tea or coffee. Today, you can see speculoos biscuits packed in easy-to-eat cuts.

3. Mussels

Whenever it’s summer season in Belgium, mussels become the star dish. Mussels in this country are often cooked with beer or wine. One of the famous mussel dishes is accompanied by fries and wine. You can also ask for dipping sauce which is usually garlic cream.

4. Stoemp

Another must-try Belgium dish is the stoemp. It’s made of mashed potatoes with spices topped with carrots, onions, and Brussel sprouts. It can be eaten both as a side dish or a meal. When it’s a meal, it’s often paired with bacon or fried eggs, and sausages.

5. Jenever

And for the must-try drink, you should take a sip of jenever, a juniper-flavored gin that is also the traditional drink in Belgium and the Netherlands. Its taste varies depending on what you buy – jonge jenever tastes like vodka, while oude jenever tastes maltier. On special occasions, they are also served in shot glasses and more flavors are served. Go to Belgium at Christmas and you just might take a sip o their chocolate or passion fruit-tasting gin.

What Does Your Ideal Travel Accommodation Look Like?

Holiday & Travel

Booking an accommodation is a key part of travel planning

Your accommodation isn’t just a place to store your bags. It’s also a place for to relax and unwind.

In fact, you can find travel accommodations that specifically suits your reason for travel.

For example:

If You Travel for Business

You’ll spend most of your day at business meetings.

You’ll be in high profile areas, talking to company representatives. And it’s likely that you’re negotiating a deal or 2.

Or, you could be a business that’s participating in a networking event, where you showcase your products.

Whatever you do, a business traveler needs an accommodation that is comfortable. It must be a place they can rest in after a long day of work…

And it has to be professional. Because where you stay is part of your brand.

So you want a combination of traditional hotel services and luxury. And that’s what appeals most to business people.

In-City: Close to Transport

Most luxury hotels are located in quiet areas.

After all, no one wants their tenants disturbed by traffic.

Your accommodation should be close to main routes. And transport services should be minutes within your reach.

So while you want comfort and luxury, you can’t miss out on practicality.

If You Are Vacationing Alone

Your options are endless. You can stay anywhere, from a mud hut, to a 5-star hotel.

As a rule, your ideal accommodation comes down to where and when you travel.

Climate and Time of the Year

Is it hot or cold where you’re going?

Also, when are you travelling? Are you on a summer or winter travel?

Those questions define your ideal accommodation. At a hot environment, you want to be surrounded by a beach environment.

You want calm seas with beautiful winds out of your accommodations window.

If it’s winter-time, you want something warm and cozy. A smaller room that’s well-heated, with plenty of hot drinks seems ideal.

If You Travel as a Family

Then it’s likely you’re heading on a vacation.

Family vacations aren’t like a single vacation. You need space. And you need privacy, to live in peace as a family.

An ideal accommodation for you won’t be a hotel. It’ll be an apartment, a house, or a sizeable cottage.

As a family, you need comfort to practice your daily living routines. Those include self-catering, such as eating when you want, and cooking when you want.

Plus cleaning as you feel comfortable.

What if I Have Other Preferences?

Well, your personality might not fit what we previously mentioned.

And this is fine. No two people are the same in what they prefer. And their accommodation choices differ, based on their temperaments and situation.

But the ideal travel accommodation comes down to knowing yourself. You have to understand what you prioritize in a vacation to get the most out of it!

Because your personality doesn’t just affect your accommodation choices. It also affects the activities you like!

Analyze Your Travel Personality Before Planning Your Holiday Vacation

Getting to know yourself is fun. Especially when there’s a streamlined process to help you.

Specifically, you can get a computer’s help to analyze your Travel Persona. This will help identify exactly what sort of resort character is bestsellers suited to you.

And no, you don’t have to do a test to find out what you like. You let a computer analyze you automatically, without any effort of your own!

How is That Possible?

Some travel services today are pioneering smart computer systems that analyze traveler personalities.

Here’s how they work. The smart systems infer your personality from the actions you do online, and the keywords you use.

They then calculate your exact personality and preferences – from 100,000s of possible combinations!

From there, they present you accommodation and activity suggestions, specifically filtered to suit your personality and mood!

The process is done with high levels of accuracy. And it means you can do travel research and planning alone, without an agent’s help!

How To Choose The Best Sights In Cambodia

Holiday & Travel

Cambodias appeal lies in its provincial setting as if its frozen in time. The country is also home to one of Asias earliest civilizations, the Khmer Empire. The temples they build in Angkor have drawn millions of tourists from all over the world. Still, you have plenty of places to visit that many tourists are not aware of. Here are just some of the sights you should see.

Siem Reap

Siem Reap is the gateway to the Angkor Wat temples and other tourist destinations. Surprisingly, the town does not look like the rest of the country. Probably because the place is overrun with tourists and most of the local businesses cater to them. At the same time, you have to go there to visit the Tonle Sap Lake floating villages. Its also the gateway to the lush but wild valleys of Phnom Kulen.

Phnom Penh

Cambodias capital, Phnom Penh survived the dark days of the Khmer Rouge rule. Still, some remnants of their rule are still evident but the city has recovered. Fortunately, many French Colonial era villas still remain but new buildings are rising in the capital. You will find the busy markets are filled with food vendors and traders willing to haggle. The waterside promenade of the Tonle Sap is teeming with people dining in the many western style restaurants and bars.

Battambang

Located in the Northwest part of the country is Battambang. Unlike Phnom Penh, the architecture and culture of the place is distinctly Thai. This is hardly surprising since both countries share a border here. The town of Kompong Chhnang is famous for its terracotta pots or chhnang. Meanwhile, the nearby town of Pursat is renowned for their marble carvings.

The Eastern Region

The eastern part of the country is the least explored but its the place for boating and nature trips. Despite the logging activities, there is still enough jungle space for the local wildlife. There is also an indigenous people there called the Chunchiet, living in those forested parts. You could also catch a glimpse of those rare Irrawaddy dolphins living at the Kampie rapids. If you prefer nature walks and watching wildlife, visit the town of Sen Monorom located in Mondulkiri province.

Where to Stay in Cambodia

Cambodia welcomes tourists and there is plenty of accommodation for travellers and people on vacation. Lots of people like to stay with locals where possible and home stays can be organised in some villages. There are also guest houses and hotels close to main points of interest in this beautiful and interesting country.

Best Time to Visit Cambodia

Cambodia, like most Southeast Asian countries, has a warm climate. The dry season is divided into cool and hot. The cool phase starts from November and ends on February. Not surprisingly, this is the time when most of the tourists arrive. Meanwhile, the rainy period keeps many of them away.

Cambodia has more interesting sights than Angkor Wat. The capital Phnom Penh still retains much of its French Colonial allure despite the on-going construction works. Meanwhile, in Battambang, you will not fail to notice the contributions that the Thais have left behind. If you prefer the solitude of nature, Cambodias eastern region is the place to be. If you dont mind the crowd, the best place to visit is during the cool period. Otherwise, visit Cambodia during the wet season if you dont mind the rains.

The Best Sea Views In Europe

Holiday & Travel

Europe has many wonderful beaches to choose from, being surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, the North Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea. But some are more worthwhile to visit than others if you are looking for breathtaking views of the sea. In fact, some of these have inspired poems, songs and other forms of art because of their beauty. Here are little spots of paradise for the sea view lovers out there.

The Cliffs of Moher in Ireland

Ireland is synonymous for dramatic cliffs that bear the brunt of the sometimes stormy Atlantic. The Cliffs of Moher is one sea view that you should never miss in your lifetime. It is 8 kilometres long and a dizzying 214 meters high. This is a remote spot – there are no seaview cottages here – you need to travel here from nearby holiday accommodation. When the day is clear, you can also see Inis Mur, Inis Meain, and Inis Oirr. Nearby Goat Island is home to a Puffin colony, and you can enjoy seeing these wonderful creatures in their natural habitat.

The Santorini Caldera in Greece

You often see pictures of colourful and breathtaking houses in Santorini, but the other view is just as spectacular. When visiting this romantic island, you just need to find a spot in one of these terraces and get lost in the sunset that is beautiful beyond all words.

Aphrodites Rock in Cyprus

The birthplace of the god of beauty is also one of the most breathtaking sea views in Europe. Legend states that you can see waves rising around Aphrodites rock and taking human form.

Cies Archipelago in Spain

Close to the border with Portugal, these islands are also called the Galician Seychelles. The immaculate white sand and the indescribable view of the Atlantic ocean are enough to inspire anyone. These islands are actually protected natural reserves, though you can take a ferry during summer from Vigo.

Ravello, Amalfi Coast in Italy

The Amalfi Coast is well-known for being gorgeous and offering you enough ocean views to satisfy your eyes for days. From cliffs to hills, you can enjoy unparalleled access to the sea.

Bonifacio in Corsica

The dramatic view of Bonifacio, a cliff rising in the middle of the Mediterranean, can easily compete with Santorini. You also have the option to go on a boat trip, but the waves do get quite rough so its only for the ones with a strong stomach.

Sudoeste Alentejano in Western Algarve

Imagine giant rock formations born out of the wild bashing of the Atlantic. This is what awaits you in the beaches of Western Algarve. This deserted area, along with the strong waves will leave you in awe at the majesty of the mighty ocean.

St. Ninians Isle in Shetland

On a clear day, stand on the narrow strip of sand connecting this small island with the mainland and you will be rewarded with a jaw-dropping view of the sea.

These spots offer more than just sandy beaches and the sound of the waves crashing into the shore. Instead, these are views that show the rugged side of the ocean, where the water meets the rocky coast. Not only will your eyes not believe the sheer beauty of the views, but it will also make you wonder if you are actually in paradise.
