Happy Halloween 2015

I took this photo at my favorite pub near London Paddington Station in England, the United Kingdom. I went to the bar this day last last year and ordered pints of San Miguel, Bungers and Mash, and side salad. The salad looked really pretty, and exactly looked like Halloween's Salad. Also it was yummy, I must add that. I loved that pumpkin salad. Since it was the day of Halloween, inside of the pub was decorated in Halloween coordination. Plus, bartenders and wait staff were wearing some Halloween costume. It was fun to be there.

A restaurant on the beach

I took this photo at a restaurant on a beach in Unawatuna, Sri Lanka. I sat at the table beside the beach and ordered a glass of banana juice. I needed some rest on the beach, but not right on the beach because it was a boiling hot day. I wanted to sit under the shadow of a roof, but still I wanted to stay on the beach. It sounds a little complicated, but when I was in Unawatuna, it was possible. The restaurant that I chose that day was a perfect place to fit my feeling in boiling afternoons in Unawatuna, Sri Lanka.

A 350-meter circle

I took this photo in Tel Aviv, Israel. The photo shows a huge map on the boardwalk which was written in Hebrew, Arabic and English. The area of a 350-meter circle was depicted on the map. According to the map, I was standing at the edge of Charles Clore Park. It seemed like there weren't any people within measurable distance from the map and me at the moment. On the previous day, I joined a local bus tour to get to the Dead Sea and returned to Tel Aviv after dusk. I drank some good Israeli beer and skipped actual dinner.

Halloween, pumpkins, and Samuel Adams

The photo shows a Halloween decoration of Trump International Hotel Las Vegas. I took this photo at the luxurious lobby several years ago. I stayed in Vegas for a week until the day before Halloween, and flew back to Los Angeles. In Vegas, I stayed in a couple of hotels and one of them was Trump International. My room was luckily on the 44th floor. Not to mention, I really enjoyed the fantastic night view from the huge window of my room with a bottle of cold Samuel Adams in my hand.

Pass out after a night flight

The photo shows my hotel room in Porto, Portugal. My flight from Amsterdam, Holland to Porto, Portugal was delayed for about one and a half hours  and flew into Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport right before midnight. Things I could do on the arrival night was just to take a cab to the hotel, checked-in, dropped my luggage, and slept in. My vacation in Porto started from the following morning. It was very very good city to stay. The comfortable weather, delicious food, tasty Porto Wine, and very nice people everywhere.
