Exploring Mount Charles in Monaco

 

My son is an avid fan of the movie Madagascar 3, he wants to watch it everyday up to the point that sometimes he would fell asleep while watching it. In the movie, they went to Monte Carlo's Casino to get and convince the penguins to go back to New York, where they all used to live. So, I was very curious about Monte Carlo and searched for it through the internet. Monte Carlo or Mount Charles is an administrative area of the Principality of Monaco and is situated on a prominent escarpment at the base of the Military Alps along the French Riviera. Near the Western end of the quarter is the wold-famous Place du Casino, it is a gambling center which made Monte Carlo "an international byword for the extravagant display and reckless dispersal of wealth". Monte Carlo is also the location of the Hotel de Paris, Cafe de Paris, and the Salle Garnier which is the casino theater and home of the Opera de Monte Carlo. 


If I will be given the opportunity to travel in Monaco, I would definitely prefer to stay at the Eastern part of the quarter because of the community of Larvotto with Monaco's only public beach, as well as it's new Convention center which is the Grimaldi Forum and the Monte Carlo Bay Hotel and Resort. I would like to stay at a prestigious and luxurious hotel and resort while overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. The Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel and Resort is chic and bright on it's own peninsula, and they offer all the facilities a guests requires. They also have 4 hectares of gardens which uses a Prato round fiberglass commercial planter on their landscapes and also used to subtly but very effectively raises plants, flowers and trees to a higher viewing level. They also offer 334 rooms with 75 percent of which has a sea view, a Cinq Mondes Spa, restaurants, casinos, souvenir shops near the hotel are available too. 


Upon your arrival, the entrance view is perfect which can be compared to a grand private residence, a solarium, terraces, water features like the lagoon and the elegant Garden of Eden designed specially by Jean Mus. For detailed information about the Monte Carlo Bay Hotel and Resort please do visit their website, you could also book in advance if you are interested to visit the place.

One Of A Kind Hotel


Norway or officially known as the Kingdom of Norway is the second least densely populated country in Europe and the Schengen area. It's capital city is Oslo and compromises of almost 1 million population making it the largest city with the highest population compared to other cities. Norway has extensive reserves of petroleum, natural gas, minerals, lumber, seafood, fresh water, and hydro power thus, making it as the fourth-highest per capita income country in the whole world. On a per-capita basis, It is said that Norway is the world's largest producer of oil and natural gas outside of Middle East and the petroleum industry accounts for around a quarter of the it's country's gross domestic product. If you ever have any plans of visiting Norway in the near future, then let me introduce you to a hotel that is unique and differs from any hotel in the world. You can definitely say that it's not the usual large modern day hotel because you will be staying at an igloo hotel rooms.


I, for one would want to experience the igloo hotel, its out of the usual or normal, unless of course if you are from Alta, Norway where the hotel is located you can experience it everyday if you want to. I would like to know how it feels to sleep in an iced bed. Sorrisniva Igloo Hotel in Alta Norway opens usually from mid January until mid April because of the season and they also have to maintain the -4 to -7 degrees temperature in the igloo rooms since everything is made up of ice and every year guests are ensured that they offer a unique experience. Reindeer leather sleeping pads and ultra-warm sleeping bags are provided in each guest room but guests are also encouraged to bring their own thermal undergarments. If guests wanted to be relaxed and warm up their bodies they could always use the sauna or book ahead of time the 2 outdoor hot tubs at the service center which is next to the ice hotel.


A modern service building holds a restaurant, an ice bar that uses ice glasses, showers, changing room, luggage storage room, souvenir shops, meeting facilities and a reception area. Since the igloo hotel is purely made of ice from the structure to the artistic designs and displays, the service center is the opposite because the interior and exterior decorations and designs are made to warm up everyone after a long night of sleep from the igloo hotel. They have a fireplace, a fine dining restaurant with heaters and even plants at the reception are which are placed in a designer planters with wood accents. Aside from the igloo experience, you could also approach staff from the reception area to assist you with the booking of a snowmobile safari to explore the surroundings. It is always a different experience from one place to another so make sure to make the most out of everything if you have the opportunity to tour around the world.

Taste Of Lebanese Cuisine



Restaurants have played a big role in our society and in our lifestyle, these type of business kept on growing day by day because of the fact that we people love to eat and by eating our hearts out we are also releasing stress and bad vibes in our body. A restaurant is also describe as a business establishment which prepares and serves food and drink to customers in return for money, and customers have the option to either pay before the meal, after the meal or with a running tab. Meals are usually served and eaten on the restaurant premises, but of course customers have the option to take out their food and some restaurants even offers food delivery service, especially for those who have limited space. There are many different ways to classify or distinguish a restaurant, one of the primary factor is usually the food that they serve it's either seafood, steaks, or veggies. Second is the cuisine, it can be Italian, Chinese, French, Thai, Indian, Mediterranean and many more, as well as the style of offering one of the most popular example is the buffet restaurant.


Restaurants also ranges from inexpensive and informal lunching or dining places catering to people working nearby, with simple food served in simple settings at low prices, to expensive establishments serving refined food and fine wines in a formal setting. One of the fine-dining restaurant that I have recently discovered is the Byblos Bar and Restaurant located in Melbourne, Australia and one of the true cosmopolitan cities of the modern world and as a port side city and an important portal between East and West, it is the perfect location to experience the flavors and tastes of ancient Byblos. Byblos is considered by many historians as the oldest continually inhabited city in the world, and is found on the Mediterranean coast of modern day Lebanon. Byblos bar and restaurant in Melbourne is the ideal location for a quiet dinner, a celebratory cocktail or a special event. They have two decadent floors that could cater intimate to a large gathering and additional outdoor seating with outdoor restaurant planters, which increases the the curb appeal of the restaurant.


To make a reservation for special dates with your love ones or family gatherings, you could book online but should allow 48 hours notice or call the restaurant's customer service for faster and accurate details on the availability of seats, food and drinks as well as the prices.

A Christmas Wish


The days are fast approaching, three more months to go and it's already December. It only means that Christmas is already in the air, as early as this month, radio stations and other food establishments are playing Christmas Songs. I remember being greeted "Merry Christmas" by a friend of mine on my Facebook account, Social media seems to be growing fast these days especially for kids, who loves to surf the internet. It also is an easier means of communication for family members who stays at the different part of the world. Unlike before, people used snail mail to send their loved ones stories and experiences that they had encounter, but nowadays, people just take pictures and upload it directly to their account and put some caption on it, automatically your fiends and family members will be updated too. 


Since some of our relatives who works out of the country can't really make it home this December for so many reasons that even they can't control. We should be thankful to the internet and the many applications that we could use to still see our loved ones face to face and never miss the important moments and celebrations in our life, in that way, we could somehow lessen the feeling of homesickness of the person who is away. Gift giving during Christmas has become a custom already, If I were to choose what gift I would like to have or receive, It is a gift to spend a holiday on a vacation at the beach with my family. I had always like the feeling of being near the water and exploring it's beauty while staying of course at a nice hotel for our accommodation. 


Being able to unwind and also to bond with my family would be the best Christmas gift for me. Staying at a hotel where we could be pampered and of course we could relax by the end of the day or after a tiring activity at the beach. Eating our breakfast or dinner at our own veranda with all these lovely flowers planted on a flat panel premiere planters surrounding our room and veranda. Having not to worry of anything at that moment and being away from work and just focusing on the vacation will definitely revive and revitalize anyone on that holiday vacation. It is something that I wish to receive this Christmas, I hope that there will be a generous Santa Claus who could make these wishes come true...
