The Conveyer Belt Sushi Experience!

Sushi has been one of the most popular and widely known food from Japan.

And the Conveyer belt Experience was a thrilling experience.

First get seated on the table and then you have a option of choosing what you would like to order from the tablet kept on the table or just picking up what you like.

The food all Different types of Sushi & Japanese food are doing the rounds on a Conveyer belt,like the ones that take our bags around in the airport.

If you like a particular sushi tuna,Squid,Eel or Tempura prawns just lift them from the belt and keep them on the table,Nobody will screams it’s mine like they do in airport if you have identical bags.

Here the pricing of plates are done by designs. The checkered ones are the most expensive to the Red and blues being affordable. Once you are done with all your bingeing you ask for the Cheque by clicking on the tablet. And then the total is done by multiplying the Type of plates x quantity.

The whole experience,Could be technical as you wouldn’t be used to the idea or might be new! But going with a local or asking a local would be the best thing.

Writers & Readers !!

“If we all are writing,Who’s reading”

A statement,that makes you think,Pause and wonder for a while and makes you believe that the one’s who are aspiring to become better with their writing are reading,The new readers who find it difficult to understand what’s a good written piece are reading , average and below average are reading.

The writers  who are writing are reading too to express their feeling as clearly as possible.

The one’s who are interested in knowing what are the New age problem and what were the problem in the past are reading.

The one’s who are curious are reading.

“Writing is reading” isn’t it?

Singapore Then and Now!

“Each journey is an Experience of the past”- Robert Better

This quote truly summaries my whole experience of Singapore!

Read the blog and you will know why & how it’s the perfect quote.

The City has a lot of memories to live by.

The City was the first ever trip abroad.

First ever trip on a long flight journey.

Singapore was the first time,I clicked  photos for Visa’s and the Beginning of Passport Pages getting stamped.

The complete experience of trying to kill time on the flight journey,mostly trying to sleep and getting handed over  the Kids Kit to keep myself busy.

To landing in a land,And witness  all the luxury sportcars being driven around on the streets .Which once I only had  the opportunity to play with as miniatures.

Singapore wasn’t the city that I had explored today, when I visited 13 long years ago for the first Time. 

That trip 13 years ago was with the cousins and more activities were planned for kids our age.

The Night Safari Experience,Butterfly Garden,Sunway Lagoon waterpark,Seal & Dolphins show ,Lazer show at Sentosa Island. And doing all the crazy stuff like puffing our hair with colourful hair colours  .Driving around streets with no Garbage being disposed on the streets to understanding how Strict the laws are there.No Chewing Gums.this was in 2005. 

2011 again we visited Singapore,But this time,only visited the Universal Studio. 

The Only one we have visited since then. 

Not even been to the LA one,When we last visited Travelled to the states.

And Saw the city as a developed and changed with Metro’s being planned and relived the whole experience of our first trip,By not exactly doing the same activities.

But,the familiarity of knowing this city around.

The streets,The Stores,The Malls.The Places where we dined. And 2011 trip

Was the first trip to have experienced Christmas in foreign land and in a city where they are known for all the decoration and lighting for Christmas. 

Coming to 2018 and while planning the family vacation for Japan. Coincidentally My Aunt,Found Our first Passport size photos of our trip to Singapore. It was then going through all of those memories that we decided on a long Layover we do a Stopover  while returning from Osaka. If we could spend the time exploring the city and see how much it has changed or remained the same. 

The city,For starters has now been ranked as the World’s Most Expensive city to live in. The city has an excellent Public transport system like all the Europeans nations with Subways and Buses moving on all directions to The cars & Home becoming the most expensive assets to own. 

This time too we enjoyed the view of the Merlion Park.  And explored another side,the Sultan Masjid street that has a beautiful mosque, cafes and restaurants done up in Morocon style. 

This was the Heritage Tour we had journeyed on.And thanks to the great initiative by the tourism board to encourage influx of tourism by giving an experience to all who would like to know why should I visit Singapore! And a better way of spending time in the city rather than killing time at the airport by taking the Singapore tour from the airport itself. 

Hoping European nations too begin doing this if they haven’t. And hoping to enjoy another Day in Singapore on my Next Vacation.

Is this beach or a dumping ground for plastic?

Its one of the most famous beach of Mumbai ,and its in the suburb of Mumbai ,its also seen as a tourist attraction for many ,for the locals as well as visitor .Its also one of the places visited by most people on the weekend Sunday being the most crowded day.

Here celebraties,Dogs and people go for there morning or evening walks ,mostly the one’s who stay in the area .

But ,Now on my recent visit to the beach I felt I was walking in a plastic dump yard .

right from the entrance to the end of the beach there is only plastic everywhere , you don’t even know whether its the same beach where you would walk,Run,play cricket,volleyball,football or catch catch for that matter .Its highly disappointing to see a recreational site to be harmed with plastic all over .(see the image below)Imagethrough this post,I would like to create the awareness for difference its high time ,that we start caring for our environment and most importantly the beach because of the plastic its become unhygienic and with this the pets are falling ill .Also there are just one tractor cleaning the mess ,there should be just a few to keep tractor and helper who have the responsibility to keep the beach clean .
