Interview I have interviewed Alex Beaumont, he is from Paris, France. I chat with him on an online site.

1.- Which places you recommend me to visit in Paris?

In Paris, you have the Eiffel tower, the Louvre, the champs Elysees, or the marais. In the west, Bretagne and Normandy are really beautiful region.In the south of France, Toulouse and Carcassonne are good cities to visit

2.-How’s the weather like?

The weather varies from day to day, it is usually sunny but there is alway a rainy day on the week.

3.-What are the best ways to transport in the city?

In the very bigs cities like Paris, Marseille or Lyon, you have the metro (underground) and in the others bigs cities, you have the tramway. In others cities, the bus or the car are the best means of transportation.

4.-Let’s talk about food. What would you recommend me to eat, what is a typical food, snacks, desserts, from france that I have to try?

My favorite food is the "confit de canard". French sandwich like "croque monsieur" or "croque madame" are really tasty. And you have to try "Quiche lorraine", "raclette" and "crêpe". Crêpe are sooooo delicious with caramel are "crème de marron"

5.-And which places you recommend me to eat those things?

One of my favorites bars to have lunch is la cordonnerie, it is near the tuileries reserve and it is at hand from my house - I usually go with friends at the Pop In, a very good bar with an awesome music theme

6.-In terms of money, how is Paris like?

- As you may have heard, Paris is very expensive in means of touristic places, for example if you want to go to a museum or theatre it will cost you a large amount of money.

7.-If I want to go out at night, which place or places you recommend me?

Sorry, Im not the right person to answer that, I dont know much about nightlife here. I’ve heard some places like Le Baron or Wanderlust, people says their good places.

8.-I want to go shopping in Paris? where should I go?

Well there is a lot to see here, but mostly expensive stores. but if you came during the sales seasons you can find 50% off even 70 and 80% off. Thats in August usually that stores gets rid of the summer clothes.

9.-As a final tip, what shouldn’t I do while my stay in Paris?If you walk the streets, you should not walk in the cycle paths, theres a lot of cycle paths here in the city, i walked by in one once and I almost got beat.

Istanbul, turkey

Grand bazaarAmong the many places to visit in Istanbul, the Grand Bazaar used to be a centre of commerce for the whole world.It used to be the centre of all comercial activity between Asia and Europe, and now it has become challenge for those tourists who think that they are good at bargaining.

HAGIA SOPHIABuilt during the Justinian period of Constantinople, the Hagia Sophia was a great piece of architecture. Put together with materials from all over the empire, and designed by the greatests minds of the time.

INSIDE LOOK OF THE HAGIA SOPHIA

BLUE MOSQUE

The last great mosque of the ottoman period, mixing elements from the byzantine architecture and the ottoman style.

TOPKAPI PALACE

fancy some turkish cuisine?The Lokanta Maya offers a complete traditional experience of the Turkish cuisine.

suleymaniye mosqueThis mosque may look similar to the Blue mosque because they are built using the same of architecture. This mosque is however the largest one found in Istanbul, making it a must see.

dolmabahce palace

It was the first European style palace built in Istanbul,

marking a point in the history of the city and the country

in general. It possesses the largest chandelure collection

in the world.

dolmabahce palace outside shot

CHORA CHURCHFilled with mosaics and frescoes from the Byzantine era, the Chora Church gives off a strong spiritual vibe. It was first located outside the walls of the city, and then included in the city limits when Theodosius II built the land walls. However the name carries the meaning of the church being outside.

galata towerOne of the few romanesque style buildings in Istanbul. It

was built to replace the Old Tower of Galata, which was

destroyed during the fourth crusade. According to some

historians the tower was later used as a starting point for

a couple of fliying devices.

Spice bazaarFilled with colors and flavours, the spice bazaar is a market that offers every imaginable flavour of spice. It’s a great idea to come here if you want to have a closer look at Turkish cuisine.

Bosphorus straitA strait that forms part of the boundary between Europe and Asia, and that happens to be right in the middle of Istanbul. Short cruisers show you the city from this unique middle ground between continents.

borsa restaurantIt received its name for its privileged location right beside the Bosphorus. A restaurant that provides most of the Turkish cuisine for you to enjoy.

Wall of constantinopleA legendary structure that fenced of the city from invaders,

ironically the walls were futile against the smart tactics

that generals across the centuries used to gain control over

the city. Ultimately the walls served as defence against

Avars, Arabs, Rus', and Bulgars among others.

miniatürkA miniature replica of Istanbul along with other important

structures and landmarks of Turkey. It provides a great tour

of the entire country in just a couple of hours, but is only

recommendable if you don’t have enough time to see the rest

of the country.

Fancy some drinks?Susam cafe is the kinda place you go to if you need to have a break. You can relax after some really hectic couple of days.

tokyo, japan

meiji shrineLocated right in the middle of Tokyo, the meiji shrine and

its surroundings offer a relaxing and quiet experience. In

here you can write a prayer in a piece of wood and hang it

in the hope that the gods will answer. You can also learn a

lot about Japanese culture and spirituality without leavng

the shinjuku district.

First bite at japanese cuisineGanso Zushi is a small restaurant that has a large amount of good reviews, and rightfully so. It allows you to have a taste of every kind of sushi and other traditional dishes.

odakyu department storeLike any other department store on Tokyo only this one will

serve as a first glance at the overpopulation of bending

machines and the Pachinko culture, as well as other

attractions. Like an entire floor dedicated to Polka dots.

akihabaraIn Akihabara you can get a look at the ever growing anime,

manga and otaku culture of this country. Also, there are

countless gaming centers and electronic stores. This

neigbourhood is always hectic, so if you are not familiar

with this side of Japanese culture be prepared for crazy

place.

Hotel sunroute plaza

tsukiji marketThe largest fish and seafood market in the world is found here in Tokyo. Here, fisherman and store owners put their honor on the line when competing for who provides the best and freshest products.

hama-rykyu gardenAnother beautiful garden in the midst of Tokyo. Here you can

lose yourself in the wonderful sight of while enjoying tea

and traditional sweets in a tea ceremony style.

KOISHIKAWA KORAKUEN GARDENSWalk through this park is magical, specially during the

autumn when the trees dye the entire scenery with beautiful

tones of red and orange. This is one of the oldests and best

preserved park in Tokyo. Its history through the years

speaks loads of Japanese people and their culture.

asakusa neighbourhoodThis neighbourhood is the place where the mixture of modern

and traditional Japan is seen around every corner. From the

Sensoji Temple with its enormous japanese lanterns, to the

Tokyo Sky Tree, which was the tallest structure of Tokyo

when it was built. If you happen to visit this place at the

right time, you may find yourself enjoying of one of the

many annual festivals that are held in Asakusa.

Tokyo sky treeThe view from the top of the tower is a sight to remember. The tower even has its own restaurant at the top, so if you want you can make reservations and enjoy both the view and the cuisine.

ikebukuro

Yet another commercial neighbourhood but unlike the other

with a vibrant nightlife and fashion stores that always keep

up with the trends, or even dictate them.

Beams storeA highly popular store for the young population of Tokyo. It

has been ranked many time as one of the best, most

fashionable stores of Tokyo, beating even those in the

Shibuya district.

hotaruzuki Even though there is a great deal of bars in Ikebukuro, not many can say that they have the variety of drinks that Hotaruzuki restaurant offers to its customers. If you are looking for something else than just beer and plain sake you must add this place to your schedule.

masudaya restaurantRecommended by experts and regular customers, this

restaurant is one of the best at providing you with a full

experience on Japanese cuisine. You can have the popular

option and ask for sushi, or have a taste with some of

weirder dishes that Japan has to offer.

ginzaNot only a popular location for shoping but also the most

expensive of the lot. Ginza is a neighbourhood that will

surprise its visitors with the most top quality products in

the entirety of Tokyo. From katanas and bonsai trees to

sake, washi paper and even jewelry.

ito-yaA stationary shop in Ginza that's popular for its hard to find items and authentic Japanese products such as washi paper, calligraphy brushes and origami supplies. A handful of these products make for the perfect souvenirs.

interviewI found Mahzun, he is from Istanbul and had a couple of minutes to spare. I had a conversation with Mahzun through facebook. I met him via a fanpage on facebook that we both are a part of. Here is how the interview went.

1.-Q: What are the main attractions to visit in Istanbul?A: You can always go to all the mosques, temples and such. They are quite popular with tourists, for what I’ve heard at least. Just remember that some of those places have dress codes and you would need to buy clothes before you go there.

2.-Q: What are the best means of transportation to get around the city?A: The mosques are all within a five minute walk from each other so you may want to make your schedule around that, and for the rest of the city you may be good with any mean of public transport, although you need to buy the ISTANBULKART card. You can use and pay almost every public transport with that.

3.-Q: I have read about the Miniatürk Park, is it worth it paying it a visit?A: If you have enough time to go around the country and visit the other landmarks then you are better off not going there, however if you are rushing things through, i would recommend you give it a try. I personally get bored in there, but the coffee shop that is in the park is really good. If you go, order a some Burma Kadayif. that stuff is real good.

4.-Q: I want to have a walk along the wall of what was Constantinople, is it possible?A: Absolutely, you can enter from any of the access points for free. If the day is sunny i like to go jogging there once in a while. The view is perfect.

5.-Q: I read that the Whirling Dervish ritual is not worth going to. What do you say?A: I never really understood it, but I there is a lot of people that really enjoy it. It's strangely spiritual and even watching it can be meditative according to dad, whom is a huge fan, for putting it up lightly. However, the show lasts an entire hour so i wouldn’t recommend it if you are a little bit impatient.

6.-Q: I’m not quite sure of where to have lunch, can you tell me about a place?A: I don’t go out to eat, and when i do is always a small place on the asian side of town near my house, nothing special but it feels like home. As for eating downtown in a fancy place, you can’t go wrong if you go to the Borsa restaurant. They even have their own line of restaurants, and people always talks wonders of the place.

7.-Q:Is there any place you go to have a drink during the night?A: I usually go to the Sultan Pub because since it’s American styled tourists don’t go there often. But if you want to try some more traditional drinks you should go to Susam Cafe. I have been there a couple of times and it really paid off.

8.-Q:What about the weather . Am I better bringing warm clothes?A: It would depend on the season, but it can rain anytime in here . It would be better for you to bring an umbrella just in case even if you are coming during summer. If you plan in coming during October or November you should definitely bring warm clothing.

9.-Q:I plan going to the Grand Bazaar on the first day, can I find any souvenirs in there?A: Of course you can, Grand Bazaar has everything you can imagine. I woud be careful if I were you though, vendors are pretty smart and will not miss the opportunity to get a couple more bucks out of your wallet, so be prepared to bargain everywhere and don't appear as an easy prey for them.

10.-Q:I plan to take a boat ride across the Bosphorus Strait. Should I take the long or the short ride?A: I don’t think there is much to see in the Bosphorus, I mean, you can probably see all the mosques from the strait, and the Istanbul bridge looks really pretty during the night but if it is a day trip then i would recommend the short trip. You can get to see both Asia and Europe, and also you can see the differences between neighbourhoods.

1.- What do you like about sydney?

I really like Sydney's atmosphere: people are generally really nice and friendly~ For example if you need help with getting to places; people are always willing to give you directions and help you out! And also I like the occasional events and attractions that are held around Sydney~ for example back in June there was this Event called 'Vivid'; it has art, light and music installations put around the city; large crowds go there to see it so you feel a great sense of community when you go And also I like the weather! It’s nice and sunny usually!

interviewI found Claudie, she is from Sydney .I had a conversation with Claudie through facebook. I met her via a event on facebook that that I found interesting. she was very glad to answer my questions.

2.- What do you recommend to visit in Sydney?

It really depends on the person's interests I suppose! Whether they like doing more sporting activities or prefer shopping and things like that~ The city is a good place to go shopping and there are really nice high tea places there too (such as the tea room in the Queen Victoria building; which is one of the historic buildings in Sydney (there are not many of them here though) Also I guess other popular attractions can be Muslims like the powerhouse museum and then places like Taronga zoo or doing the harbour bridge climb. The botanical gardens is a massive garden you can walk through in the city which is really nice and scenic smile emoticon The beach and also beach boardwalks are also a popular thing to do. If the person is interested in plays then capitol theater is a nice place to go and there are also the occasional night life activities and markets that Sydney holds ~ for example there are these night markets that are currently being held at darling harbour in the city; this site mentions a lot of the attractions going on in and around darling harbour which is a popular place that people go, especially families.

http://www.sydney.com/destinations/sydney/sydney-city/darling-harbour/attractions

3.- Do you believe that two days are enough to meet the most important things in Sydney?

hmm.. I suppose it depends on what the person is interested in seeing but personally I think you would need more than two days! and advice to avoid dangerous places:

I suppose just like when you are travelling in any overseas country it is safer to go around travelling with another person. I’ve never had a bad experience on a taxi so I would say they are pretty safe. During the day I would say public transport like buses and trains are pretty safe too smile emoticon although I would say for safety reasons avoid catching public transport late at night; especially if you are not travelling with other people.

And to avoid dangerous areas:

I live a bit far from the city so I generally am not around there at night time but one of my friend's lives close by to the city and from what she's said; I would say avoid going to areas with a lot of bars and clubs really late at night because sometimes fights and violence might start up around those areas
