My Trip To Disney Sea.
This weekend after a long week of writing blogs I headed to Tokyo Disney Sea. I have been to Tokyo DisneyLand many times before but this was the first time I went to Disney Sea. It was real good fun although it was crowded.
We reached Maihama at around 11 after which long queues to the ticket counter greeted us. When we finally entered Disney Sea we first had a boat ride, the boat ride gave us a glimpse of the awesome park. We then headed for Sindbad- The Sailor ride which beautifully depicted sailor Sindbad`s amazing voyage by the sea.
Global Warming And Me.
At a recent department festival in my University called Mutation-08, I met an Environmentalist who told me that Biotechnology can be used to curb Global Warming. She then asked me what I understood by Global Warming. At that time I couldnt really think of anything, I told her it is the melting of ice-bergs at the Arctic and increase in temperature leading to droughts or floods. I could sense she wasn`t too happy with my answer. Obviously she expected something more technical and a detailed version from me. This led her to organise the screening of a movie on Global Warming for me and my collegues.
Public Transport In Mumbai.
The Island City of India,Mumbai, has transport through land,water and air. Buses,trains,rickshaws,taxis are the most common modes of public transport in Mumbai.
Trains are also known as Life-line of Mumbai. About 6 million people travel by trains each morning to work. This is the highest passenger density travelling by trains in the world.The rail network in Mumbai is one of the best however the same cannot be said about its comfort. Buses are another important modes of transport. The routes covered by buses being large, they are more widely used.
My Experiences with Japanese Cuisine.
Recently in India there has been a rise in the number of people opting for Cuisine other than Indian. Although India has its own range of Regional Cuisines satisfying many palates still the youth, like me and my friends or even the elder group of people are attracted towards other World Cuisine primararily because it is comfortable and stylish.
Journey to the Far East
Its been 4 days since I first stepped my foot on the soil of the Land of Rising Sun. Yes! its Japan and its rightly called as the Land of Hospitality. Thats because I was bowled over by the amazing Japanese hospitality that I`ve seen not only in these 4 days but also during my earlier stays here as a kid and as a teenager,although I still am but I turned an adult recently!
