Turkey is one of those countries that half in Europe and half in Asia but I have to say it’s the most beautiful country you can find and has an amazing combination of culture and modernity. The first thing that hit me when I got there was how proud and nationalistic people, they have flags with the pictures of the man who gave them their independence! Aside from the pride the people there are welcoming and always seem to have a smile on their faces they don’t think of you as a tourist they think of you as a guest and you get to experience their amazing hospitality!

If you like the underwater life so much but do not want to actually go under the sea just to see what lies in it, you should try the aquarium tour right in the Mall of America located in Bloomington, Minnesota. This aquarium tour is really worth the attention you place on it because it was voted by Discovery’s travelchannel.com as “World’s Best Shark Encounter.” This aquarium measures a 300 foot-long glass tunnel that is built with a moving walkway. So while you are in the walkway you get the experience of being underwater without actually getting wet. The glass tunnel will take you 14 feet under the water’s surface so while you are under it you will see an entirely different world where sharks, stingrays and giant sea turtles swim so up close you just have to reach our and you can almost touch them.

Are you wondering where to go on vacation and Europe is too expensive and everywhere else is too hot or two crowded? Well if so I have just the place: there is this little island in the middle of nowhere that nearly no one has heard of but is still gorgeous and has so much to do for such a small place, yes I am talking about Bahrain! This amazing Island in the Middle East has been developing and improving economically over the past but it has also become more and more tourist friendly. Bahrain hosts the annual Formula 1 which is a huge event for racing lovers and people who just like to hang alike!
