Based on the political situation, someone may ask,
is it worth visiting Northern Cyprus?
-I think, it is! And, it’s also one of the reasons, I have a separate month on my blog about Northern Cyprus.
Northern Cyprus – Is it worth visiting?
Northern Cyprus – Flag is Everywhere…
While visiting Northern Cyprus, you’ll see its flag in many places.
Moreover, you’ll see it also well from far while being in Cyprus.
Kind of “cold war” to “annoy your enemy”…
Northern Cyprus – Flag
The flag of the Northern Cyprus is basically the flag of Turkey with the colors reversed and two horizontal red stripes added at the top and bottom.
Northern Cyprus – How to Enter?
The rules how to enter Northern Cyprus may change,
so I won’t write how it is or how it was when I was there.
Just please check everything before your trip!
Northern Cyprus – Why This Place on My Blog?
If Northern Cyprus is not a “real country”, why do I have a month about it on my blog?
Well, I visited the whole island of Cyprus, and both, southern and northern parts are very interesting for tourists. I also felt it would be a bit unfair to describe northern part while talking about the Republic of Cyprus.
Northern Cyprus – Country?
To continue my post from yesterday,
I’d say that status of Northern Cyprus is more complicated
and also affects tourists who want to visit this part of the island.
Northern Cyprus – Separate Country?
Is Northern Cyprus a country?
I wrote it already, officially Northern Cyprus is a part of Cyprus occupied by Turks.
And Turkey is the only country which recognises Northern Cyprus.
Northern Cyprus – Introduction
Hello June! 🙂
This month, I’ll show you Cyprus on my blog,
but only its northern part.
I showed you already the Republic of Cyprus in August 2018.
And this time, I’ll focus on occupied by Turks part of the Cyprus,
so-called the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus or just Northern Cyprus.
Laos – Final impression
And today, I’m showing you the last picture from my trip to Laos.
It’s a nice country, interesting, however quite specific.
Laos – Local Taxi
In Asia, there are often different ways of local transportation,
choose what you like the most. 😉
Laos – Cats
I’ve seen many cats in Laos,
some of them with cut tails,
some of wearing clothes,
and some of them “just normal cats”.
Laos – Lao Cuisine
What’s the most typical Laotian food?
-Well, it’s rather not what’s presented on today’s picture,
however, you can buy it on the farmers market. 😉
It’s possible to list a few dishes, but I’d just say:
rice, noodles, meat, vegetables, herbs and spices. 🙂
Laos – Tat Kuang Si Bear Rescue Center
Nearby Luang Prabang, you can find the Tat Kuang Si Bear Rescue Centre, with a number of bears, 3 Bear Houses and a Wildlife Hospital.
Laos – Gender Equality
This is post has rather nothing to do with gender equality,
or maybe a little, little, little bit. 😉
Look at this traffic sign with a women, isn’t it nice?
Laos – Whatever you need…
I’m sorry for today’s picture!
But, I want to show you not only the beauty of a given country, but also … less pleasant things for eyes…
This is probably “nothing bad”; I’ve also seen people selling in Laos dead bats, and it has to be illegal, because they’re hiding them!
Laos – Farmers Market
Farmers markets are popular in many places around the world,
however only in Asia, I have the impression there are lots of “strange” green vegetables. 😉 Well, I mean by this, that I simply have no idea how they are called…
Laos – Night Markets and Souvenirs
Night Markets are very common in Asia.
You can find there delicious food and souvenirs;
of course, you don’t have to buy there anything and just enjoy the place. 🙂
Laos – The Best of Luang Prabang
I like nature, so for me the lovely place nearby Luang Prabang are parks with waterfalls, i.e., Kuang Si Falls, Tat Sae Waterfalls, etc.
I can highly recommend you to visit them! 🙂
Laos – Luang Prabang
Luang Prabang and its vicinity is an area in Laos that you should really visit!
The ancient town of Luang Prabang is a UNESCO World Heritage Site;
it’s a tourist place, but also quite real, at least that was my impression a few years ago.
You can also enjoy Mekong River and nearby mountains.
Laos – Sad Issue About Golden Triangle
I’m showing you again a sad picture from Golden Triangle in Laos.
More alcohol bottles with snakes, scorpions etc. inside…
“You can try these alcohols and then decide which one you want to buy.”
People who are selling them, believe that this alcohols will improve your health or sex…
I was taking this photos not to show on my blog;
I didn’t have a travel blog that time;
but I was thinking to send them to e.g., WWF or Greenpeace;
making and selling alcohols with/from these animals should be forbidden.
I know that some people are excited about thinking it,
others are really against it;
you can decide on your own is it correct, ethical etc…
