All About Beautiful Worldwide City Traveling

Our modern world is something very fantastic, when you look at all the travel opportunities we have, and all these many ways to drive. Our world shines mainly beautiful and bright, what could be there a problem. Just realize, we have all these buses, trains, ships, airplanes, to get to any place in the entire world with ease.

What is the truth.

It is the individual, who decides, to go for a vacation, but actually many don’t. They think, spending money for it is pure luxury and staying at home would easily make up for it. But this is not completely true. Living all year long at home, with planning for new furniture, or saving for better car or TV, does not bring the necessary satisfaction. Real relaxation from stress, workload and all the other ongoing responsibilities, does not take place in making one’s home look better, putting up expensive wallpaper, or driving a more attractive car.

Personal relaxation is proven as being something complete different than just money, a car or TV. It is a very intimate spiritual thing and cannot get measured up with luxury. Relaxation is, where one is alone or with one’s family and has lots of time together. It will create new joy and happiness with talking about things, never said since a long time. It may happen to be the very first moment, where daddy really talks freely to his children and is finding out by surprise, that the son is not as good in Math and needs some help.

The wife is happier since ever, realizing that everybody is now together getting close attention, and here and there comes a kiss with some very lovely whispered words. This all did not happen since a long time. It is the moment, where a family can re-union, making new plans for the next year. This is much better, than any other plan made for one’s job, or for a Wal-Mart shopping cart.

Now let’s see, what can be really done.

An educated person knows, that there are several, very different possibilities, how to spend vacation time most wisely. One should choose the one, which fits best to the interests and also circumstances of the family. There should be a talk with all together after dinner.

Where does everybody want to go, and how many people is it. Does the majority want to swim and lay sunbathing on a beach, or do they want to swim, but also climb the mountains? What will be the destination? Flight tickets for a family, might be more expensive than just the gasoline for a car, but it might waste lots of valuable vacation time, driving there. An intelligent evaluation on all the asked for travel possibilities will then discover, what is the best deal for this year, with the most fun and variety, everybody would like to enjoy.

The main actions for selecting the right destination from several offers of real value, are

1. Sitting together and talking about everybody’s ideas and personal likings.2. To get an overall agreement, what the best solution is for a decent destination.3. The money has to be somehow made available, so one can book and pay.4. The tickets and plans are in everybody’s hands now, waiting for the adventurous trip to happen.

An ideal solution can be Beaches, where Florida has some very excellent locations for that, or let’s take a cruise, the offers are pretty cheap and the environment of a ship can give you an exciting change in atmosphere. If you are able to spend some more money, then go more international. Europe is the most attractive area for having the most beautiful cities and places, and one can learn about other exciting civilizations and people.

But the main point is, you take your family this year and go. Surprise them all a bit with some exotic hotel and flight booking.…

RV’s and Gas Prices

Imagine yourself out on the open road, taking in the sights, and enjoy nature in all its glory. Your investment in an RV as a means for travel is a good so you’re thinking until you have to pull into that gas station and “fill ‘er up”!

Travel of any form is expensive in today’s world – with gas prices being a major factor. However, what it all boils down to is that if you want to travel, you will have to pay for transportation related expenses – such as gas. This is true regardless of whether your mode of transportation is plane, train, or RV!

Gas prices do vary across the country and fluctuate on a daily basis. Generally, prices are going to be higher in cities that have high economic indicators – e.g., California is a state where you will find some of the highest prices. In addition, gas stations located closest to major interstate highways and roads will raise their prices because of their convenience factor.

So, is there anything you can do to help curb the amount of money you must spend on gas?

Understand how weather affects your mileage. As the temperature goes up, your gas mileage goes down. Thus, if you are traveling mid-summer, be prepared to fill up more often and factor that into you’re the overall expenses for your trip.

Be sure your equipment is in good working order. If the mechanical operation of your RV is less than stellar, your gas mileage will be just as bad. It’s important that your oil changes and engine tune-ups have been done on a regular schedule (and this means based upon mileage not calendar schedule).

Something to note: there are ways to make your RV more efficient; however, most sources say that making these changes are far more costly than the price of gas itself. So, if someone has suggested this option to you, be certain of the cost/benefit scenario in your own mind being shelling out any money.

Diesel vs. Gas. Some days, diesel costs more than gas; yet, on other days, it costs less. In addition, there are differences between the two. Those who swear by diesel engines say the extra money spent on fuel is worth it because of the increased power you gain with a diesel engine. What you have to consider, however, is that a diesel rig does need to be started on a regular basis. While this is neither a bad/good thing, it is what it is. Again, you must decide if the extra fuel price you’ll pay by having a diesel engine is an acceptable tradeoff for the benefits. (This is one of those “gray areas” where everyone has an opinion, and there is no right answer. Stick with what works best with your RV usage and finances.)

Plan ahead. Know where you’re going and find out how the prices are typically running in those areas. A good web site to use is Simply select the destination state, the price list you want to view, and a list of the lowest gas prices is shown. For more generalized information, you can visit …

What You Don’t Know About China Town – The Chan See Shu Yuen Temple

Introduction

Hello and ‘Lei Hou’- that’s ‘hello’ in Cantonese, one of the most spoken Chinese dialects in Malaysia.

The Chan See Shu Yuen Temple was built more than a century ago. The four founding fathers of this temple- Chan Sow Lin, Chan Xin Xi, Chan Chun and Chan Zhai Tian- were also among the first pioneers of Kuala Lumpur. Do you notice they all have the same surname Chan?

The Chan See Shu Yuen Clan Association is an association for the ‘Chan’ clan. People with the surname Tan, Chan and Chen all belong to this clan, as the Mandarin character for these names is the same. Chan is a very common Chinese surname and many of them come from Guangzhou in China. There is a Chan Family Ancestral Temple in Guangzhou, and this one is modelled after it. That is why you see similar Cantonese architecture and art. Work began in 1896, and it took ten years to complete.

Think of it also as a club for people who came from the same province in China. When the Chinese immigrants arrived in Malaysia, it was very difficult for them to adapt in this new and foreign land. That is why clan associations are important, because they provide immigrants with contact with people who speak the same language, as well as contact with their family members back in China. The clan association also looks after their general welfare.

The association also houses a temple, which is the subject of this article.

From the outside one will not miss the green and red faade. In fact, the temple is sometimes known as The Green Temple. Look from left to right, especially at the roofline and you will see the elaborate ornaments that decorate the temple. Painstakingly minute, they tell stories of ancient China and Chinese mythology.

Right before entering the temple compound, there are two pillars with blue tops. To admire the front facade of the temple, go all the way to the left. These are the famous terracotta figurines that tell of ancient history and mythology. These carvings and sculptures are elaborate and fascinating. There are also the same captivating carvings on the right end of the front facade.

Inside The Temple

Don’t forget that in Malaysia, religious places are not tourist places, but are actual religious venues used by believers to worship. If you see some worshippers deep in meditation or prayer, be as discreet as you can.

At the gates, high up on the left and right, one can see two gray stone lions. Stone lions are believed to guard the temple from demons. The Chinese characters beneath them very loosely translate into welcoming blessings.

There is another pair at eye level, and this time, they are white. At first glance one may think they are the same, but look carefully at their paws and you will see that they are different. Guardian lions are always made in pairs- one female and one male. The one on the left is the female guardian lion, and she has a cub in her right paw, representing the circle of life. The one on the right is the male guardian lion, and he has his left paw on a globe to represent his feeling the “pulse of the earth”. Symbolically, the female guards those who live inside, and the male guards the structure of the temple.

On the stonewalls, are some Chinese characters, which is a typical feature in Chinese architecture. On the top, there are four big Chinese characters. Unlike in English, Chinese words are read from right to left, and from top to bottom. The four words read ‘Chen Shi Shu Yuen’- which means ‘Study Hall of the Chan Clan’. The Chan clan, if you remember, occupies this clan association. There are little characters on each side of the words. They tell you the name of the writer and when it was written. In Chinese calligraphy, or Chinese writing, writing is not just writing. It is an artistic skill, and every piece is a work of art. Think of Michelangelo or Leonardo Da Vinci painting a masterpiece and signing off at the corner of the work. In fact, the personality of a writer is said to be reflected in his writing. On the right and left side of the door, are more Chinese characters. They are too poetic to be translated, but they loosely mean, ‘light radiates from honour, and may wisdom never die’. This type of greeting is important in Chinese architecture, and each temple has their unique greetings. If you have the chance to visit other Chinese temples, ask the locals to translate these words of wisdom for you.
