Except main touristic places I really liked Kampa Park at Kampa Island (or better it is a peninsula) there is a big park; several <A HREF="http://www.praguerestaurants.org/" REL="nofollow">Prague restaurants</A> and cafes; shops and a big square (Na Kampe). There is also an ancient watermill there. Kampa Restaurant in Prague is one of the cities finest restaurants. Set in an exclusive location beside the river on Kampa Island, and next to <A HREF="http://www.whitehouse.gov/infocus/europe-200211/scenicprague/index.html" REL="nofollow">Charles Bridge</A>, Kampa Park offers flamboyantly presented international fare, including a superb selection of fresh seafood, classic Czech wild game dishes and innovative meat selections. We hadn’t planned our visit in advance, in fact we had set out a little aimlessly, trying to find somewhere to eat – sometimes too much choice is harder than too little! However the lights of the Kampa Park, together with the restaurants on either side tempted us across the Bridge one final time – and I am so glad that they did.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07061784344080129799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13126457.post-91714786798584599602008-02-14T11:12:00.000+00:002008-02-14T11:12:00.000+00:00Prague is affectionately known as the Pearl of Eur...Prague is affectionately known as the Pearl of Europe for it's beauty.The Czech name is Praha and since the fall of the Iron curtain the city is invaded by thousands of tourists. I am sure like myself they will not leave disappointed. <BR/>It is a mix of old and new and the two work well together.We booked a room in <A HREF="http://www.prague-hotels.org.uk/" REL="nofollow">Prague hotel</A> right in the centre of the Old Town - wanting to be close to everything. In my opinion if you are traveling to Prague for the first time try and go in December when there are the Christmas markets.You might be lucky enough to have snow like we did. I have just returned from my third visit and can't wait to go back.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12071200343657564068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13126457.post-18109721481713405672007-11-28T13:24:00.000+00:002007-11-28T13:24:00.000+00:00Xiaojie ,My 2cts on Shanghai ....

The service is particularly good, with efficient yet unobtrusive staff. Dishes arrive at a suitable pace and the desserts actually arrive at the end of the meal–this may not impress you, but it's sadly all too rare in Shanghai! Prices are reasonable too–it's possible to have a good meal for two for under RMB 100. Open from lunch till about 4am, it's a great place to go for a good meal anytime.<BR/> <BR/>VISITS :<BR/> <BR/>YUYUAN GARDEN : 400 years old Chinese garden : very nice ! <BR/> <BR/>OLD FRENCH CONCESSION<BR/> <BR/>Am not being biased, it is very nice and unexpected in a Chinese city , very nice architecture, roads with trees along them and a sense of quietness very rare in Shanghai !

The city is known as the Red City after the magnificent red fortifications that surround it. Marrakech has an exotic traditional atmosphere and is home to the largest square in Africa, namely the “Djemaa al Fna” which comes alive during the day with acrobats, water sellers, dancers and musicians and by night becomes a huge outdoor restaurant, with numerous food stalls selling traditional Moroccan cuisine. In the alleys behind the square are the Souks (market stalls) selling a vast range of merchandise ranging from stringed instruments, brass, copper and leatherwork, to jewellery and clothing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13126457.post-75862067377587591202007-10-02T00:51:00.000+00:002007-10-02T00:51:00.000+00:00Congrats!
