Kastoreion is a wonderful village located in the southern area of Peloponesus, which is called Lakonia. It is situated at the foothils of mt.Taygetos and it is only 10 minutes from Sparta. It's surely a unique place in Greece and you certainly need to visit it!!!
Butter Beans, Birds & Bears: A slideshow from our trip to Prespes Lakes
Prespes Lakes in Northern Greece is one of the biggest natural bird sanctuaries in Europe and an area of outstanding natural beauty where wildlife and plants rarely seen in Europe can still be found. It is also the place where the best butter beans in Greece are produced. Sophie and I made a road trip up to the area a couple of summers ago and were blown away by the scenery, the butter beans, the birds and the bears.
Kanamara P*nis Festival Exposed ★ ONLY in JAPAN
★ Special Episode ★ This festival will next be held on Sunday, April 5 2020. Here's a preview with all the background you'll need.
Japan's Kanamara Matsuri as you've never seen it before!
Every now and then something very bizarre from Japan pops up in the news. This time, it happens to be bright pink and carried around the streets of a town near Tokyo. The Kanamara Matsuri / Festival is definitely unusual but there is much more to this story including a strong historical backbone and religious significance.
So – WHY #JAPAN ?!?! WHY ?!?
The international media sees the images and write the stories but never ask the questions. Let me do that for you in this episode.
The festival sometimes dubbed the “Penis” festival or the Utamaro Festival has a long history going back 200 years.
It was created by a transgender salon in Asakusa called Elizabeth who wanted to bring attention to the issue of STD, HIV / AIDS and the LGBT community. They succeeded in getting a lot of attention but over the last several years, the message has gotten lost in the shock and -- bright pink of their hand made phallus. Whatever you may think about Elizabeth, there is no doubt that it is the most photographed mikoshi in Japan!
Kanamara #Shrine is dedicated to both fertility and a place for prayer for women afflicted by sexual diseases. It's a place women go to today to pray to get pregnant and for a healthy child.
Those who have been unfortunate to contract a STD have been coming here for centuries. The priests approach those afflicted with a lot of compassion. Kanamara Shrine is certainly one that opens its arms to anyone and everyone who is suffering and that compassion is admirable.
In recent years, the worldwide media attention has been overwhelming skewed on the weird and the Kanamara Matsuri has become something of a joke and embarrassment in many Japanese eyes. I really hope that this episode can help shed light on the cultural, historical and religious significance of this festival in Japan today. It's more than a gag, a comedy piece.
Parental Guidance suggested:
Because viewers of the shows come from all different backgrounds and ages, I highly recommend anyone under 13 have a parent watch with them. There are no actual body parts shown but I know the material is sensitive for parents; and parents should be the ones making the decision if this should be seen or not. I added a rating at the opening for this purpose.

HOW TO MAKE INCENSE STICK
by Marco Petruzzelli
tvreporter.it
Nepal, Kathmandu, how to make incense.
Incense (from Latin: incendere, to burn) is composed of aromatic biotic materials, which release fragrant smoke when burned. The term incense refers to the substance itself, rather than to the odor that it produces. It is used in religious ceremonies, ritual purification, aromatherapy, meditation, for creating a mood, and for masking bad odours. The use of incense may have originated in Ancient Egypt, where the gum resins and oleo gum resins of aromatic trees were imported from the Arabian and Somali coasts to be used in religious ceremonies.
Incense is composed of aromatic plant materials, often combined with essential oils. The forms taken by incense differ with the underlying culture, and have changed with advances in technology and increasing diversity in the reasons for burning it. Incense can generally be separated into two main types: indirect-burning and direct-burning. Indirect-burning incense (or non-combustible incense) is not capable of burning on its own, and requires a separate heat source. Direct-burning incense (or combustible incense) is lit directly by a flame and then fanned or blown out, leaving a glowing ember that smoulders and releases fragrance. Direct-burning incense comes in several forms, including incense sticks (or joss sticks), cones, and pyramids.
To Travel Is To Be Free | #TravelTriangle
What is travel to you? A mere source of leisure, a way for self-discovery, or a medium to escape. It can be so many things. But above all, it is an expression of freedom. Freedom from insecurities, from self-doubts, from inhibitions, and from negativity. So, set yourself free and travel to a place you have never been to before. #TravelisFreedom #TravelTriangle

Kuala Lumpur And Singapore Travel 2018 - Around The World
Kuala Lampur And Singapore Travel 2018 - Around The World
For many travelers, Singapore is their first introduction to Southeast Asia, and the island nation seems to exist in two worlds at once. When you visit Singapore, the sparkling boutiques and department stores on Orchard Road and the hotels, both historic and new, may remind you more of Houston, Texas, than of the inscrutable East. But Singapore travel has its exotic elements too - in the shophouses of Chinatown, for instance, as well as the temples of Little India and the city's night markets. Whether you're stopping in Singapore en route to other parts of Asia or are making it the only stop on your journey, you'll be greatly rewarded if you delve beneath the city's spotless surface and get to know the real Singapore.
Things Not to Miss in Singapore
attractions:
• Orchard Road
• The Singapore Zoo
• The Raffles Hotel
• The Night Market
• The Botanic Garden
• Tiger Balm Garden
• The Marina Bay Sands
• Little India
• Chinatown
When to Go to Singapore

The KLCC Park
The Petronas Twin Towers
4. Menara Kuala Lumpur aka KL Tower
You will now have 2 choices to visit the tower:
1. Observation Deck:
2. Open Deck:
5. Bukit Bintang
One of the most popular entertainment and shopping districts of Kuala Lumpur. Here you can find from Hawker Centers, shopping malls to night markets and bars almost everything you can wish for. Especially popular is this district amongst the younger generation.
Not only tourists, but rather many local people are bustling here through the nightlife. Also there is a so-called Arabic district with many delicious dishes that are ideal for a nice dinner.
You can get there best with the KL Monorail. The name of the station is “Bukit Bintang” as well.
6. Masjid Negara – the national mosque
The Masjid Negara, which actually means state mosque when you translate it, offers room for almost 13,000 worshipers. The 73 meters high minaret and the star-shaped roof are the main features of the modernly designed national mosque.
7. Orchid Garden
If you follow the street “Jalan Perdana” (right next to the national mosque) up the hill, you’ll arrive at the Orchid Garden which is a part of the Perdana Botanical Garden. In addition to the beautiful orchids and the quite nice atmosphere – far away from the busy streets of Kuala Lumpur – the gardens offer two more highlights.
8. Chinatown – Petaling Street
During the day there is not much going on at the Petaling Street, but as soon as the late afternoon begins, everything comes to life here and there will be stalls with almost everything you can imagine. You can buy all sorts of items – from T-shirts, shorts, souvenirs, handbags, watches up to shoes, football jerseys and of course much delicious Chinese food.
The road is paved with stalls and food courts. Just take a walk in the evening through the alleys between all the stalls and go with the flow.
9. Kasturi Walk
Not far from the Petaling Street is another market, the Kasturi Walk. Also popular with locals and tourists and you can walk through the alleys as well and buy some souvenirs for your home.
But not only will you find souvenirs over here, but rather the so called Hawker Centers, where you can try a variety of the Malaysian cuisine.
On the contrary to Chinatown with its Petaling Street, everything in the Kasturi Walk looks a bit more classy and modern. Nevertheless, you should pay the market a visit since it’s only a 3-minute walk away from Chinatown. The openings hours are from 10.30 A.M. to 10.30 P.M.
