  •  
    The Astrological Travel Guide According to Huffingtonpost.com There are countless tips out there on where and how to travel, but not one like this. https://foursquare.com/westhilltravel http://www.goodreads.com/group/show/108506-westhill-consulting-travel-tours-inc It may not be certain, but why not take a leap of faith for once and try this travel guide according to you astrological sign by the Huffingtonpost.com. A little research based on each astrological sign's personality has led the Huffpost to these guidelines. Whatever your sign may be, one thing still stands true when travelling - you hold the key to your own travel destiny. Note: This travel guide is just a suggestion and may be followed at your own risk and liking. Aquarius: You Aquarius folk are an eclectic bunch. Your interests vary and you are the thinkers. You know what you like and you very much so know what you don't, so your next getaway should be planned with that in mind. Because you are one of the signs who can get lost in your thoughts, why not utilize that head space for some clarity? Book a trip to Iceland during the prime Northern Lights-seeing time and ponder life's big questions under the glorious Aurora Borealis. Even if you come up with no answers, at least you can come home with some amazing photos. Pisces: Pisces are, plain and simple, the givers. They are far happier when they are sharing their experiences or knowledge with others, especially those in need. A trip focused on service could be the perfect marriage of relaxation and giving back. Pisces people, why not look into an alternative spring break type trip to Ghana? You'll get away from the every day rat race but still get the satisfaction of helping those in need. Aries: If you're an Aries, you've got energy for days. Sitting on a beach soaking up the sun doesn't exactly tickle your fancy. You'll want to take all that restless energy and put it to good use. Try a trip down to Peru and make the ever-so-infamous trek up M

Westhill Consulting Travel and Tours, Singapore: Most Visited Countries in Asia - 1 views

  •  
    China: 57,581,000 foreign visitors/year. Like Jakarta Indonesia China is one of the most populous country but China despite receives a load of international tourists and these figures don't even take Hong Kong or Macau into account, two independent cities of China that merge for about 30 million foreign entrances every year. The amount of visitors traveling to China is simply anticipated to upsurge, since the country remains to improve and open up its doors to international travelers. Top-tier fascinations in the country consist of the historic sights of Beijing, the city life of Shanghai, the mountains of Guilin and the Terracotta Army near Xi'an. Malaysia: 24,714,000 foreign visitors/year. The doorway point for most visitors to Malaysia is the international airport at Kuala Lumpur, a city well-known for the Petronas Twin Towers and its exceptional shopping. However Malaysia has so much more to bid visitors than merely a city. For example, some of the world's finest scuba diving is located in Sipadan off the coast of Borneo Malaysia, whereas the islands near the Malaysian Peninsula such as Tioman and Langkawi are some of the top beach destinations in Asia. Hong Kong: 22,316,000 foreign visitors/year. Indeed, Hong Kong's figures are increased by visitors from nearby Mainland China who come to Hong Kong in hordes to purchase luxury goods from its splendid shopping malls and to take advantage of its standing as a free port - no sales tax and no import tariffs. However, still, 22 million visitors for what chiefly compares to a city-state is rather remarkable! And although without the day trips of its shopaholic neighbors Hong Kong nevertheless collects almost nine million overnight visitors yearly.

Independent Travel as opposed to Group Tours - 1 views

  •  
    Tourists may be undecided concerning traveling independently or traveling with a group tour the first time they visit a destination, and the two choices have their advantages and disadvantages.   Independent travel is perfect for tourists with a daring soul and is able either alone or in small groups. It lets tourists to progress at an unhurried movement and to better submerge them in the local culture. Crowds with an exceptional perception in wonders or happenings must perhaps stay as an independent travel; by way of no expanse of tour customization is able to defeat wandering solo with simply time and a travel guide book available. Westhill Consulting Travel and Tours, Singapore arrange individual and group travels.   In many countries, natives are willing to assist independent travelers discover their way.   Small group tours, on the other hand, have their own advantages. Initially, they permit tourists to cover many grounds in a diminutive period of time. Since transportation is already prearranged and the groups are guided by regional specialists, group tours can be an excellent technique to bag in many wonders in a slim time frame. One more advantage to group tours is that they bid safety and security more especially against scam and fraud. The significance of this may appear unimportant when arranging a tour to Jakarta Indonesia, but it be able to be pretty significant when thinking a trip to destinations off of the compacted trail.   Read more: Westhill Consulting Travel and Tours Asia Jakarta Bangkok Hong Kong

Budget Bali and Lombok - 1 views

  •  
    There is more to Indonesia than your favorite destination Jakarta. BALI Good Karma Bungalows A long existence local legend on Bali's north-east coast, Good Karma lies at the foot of the sacred volcano Gunung Agung, the island's highest peak at 3,031 meters. The sand here is volcanic - in actual fact the beach in front of Good Karma is of smooth black pebble. The attraction is the snorkeling and even though it is one of the lowest priced places to visit in Amed, Good Karma brags its own private little cove, with a lovely reef right off the beach - big schools of bumphead parrotfish regularly feed here. If you're fortunate, Balinese owner Baba will be present - he's an ultra-Zen creature who likes to work out in the homemade gym he's put together in a cave just behind the resort. Read reviews to see what others have to say. The airy beach huts are astonishingly cool as soon as the fans are buzzing, and hammocks summon reading marathons. Baba's Japanese wife takes charge of the day-to-day consecutively of the place in addition to serving up a killer katsudon together with Balinese fare. Drive half an hour up the coast to Tulamben and you can scuba - or skin-dive the well-known Liberty shipwreck. Selang Amed Bunutan Karangasem, Amed. LOMBOK Alam Gili Bungalows Gili Trawangan is one of three tiny islands just off Lombok, Bali's easterly neighbor. Swish villa resorts now push with the cheap beach cabanas that were formerly the norm here. However Gili T recalls a castaway vibe, thanks greatly to a restriction on motor vehicles and dogs as to its coconut palms and white sand beaches. Those in the know head away from the rush of the chief drag choosing as an alternative for the silent north coast and Alam Gili, a tranquil little oasis with six bungalows and a sumptuous suite for families.

Westhill Consulting, TRAVEL & TOURS, INC. : It's Nice Having a Boring Long Road Trip - 1 views

  •  
    Have you ever been in a long trip and got bored along the way? Wouldn't it be worse for your kids? Well, Westhill Consulting Travel and Tours thinks it shouldn't be boring. Try to be more creative. This long boring trip may be a way to secure your bonding with your colleagues, family and friends with you. Here are some games you can review and play along the way: 1. The Alphabet Game Everyone knows how to play - you go up and down the alphabet picking letters out of words you see from the car. Some people play where you can use license plate letters, which is total bullcrap. The double alphabet game is a great variation. Only words that have at least two instances of one letter can count. 'Alligator' - A, 'Blueberry' - B, and so on. No one in recorded history has ever finished a round of the double alphabet game. 2. Car plate Abbreviation This is the game Westhill Consulting Travel and Tours staff had invented when we were traveling Jakarta, Indonesia. Try to make up a meaning out of car plates that you pass by. You will be surprised on how hilarious this game will be.  3. Fortunately / Unfortunately. One person makes a statement, and the next person has to counter. Example: Person A: Fortunately, we have lots of snacks in

Asia's Martial Arts - 1 views

  •  
    We know Martial Arts have somehow originated in the regions of Asia. While people in western countries armed their rifles and guns in battle, people in the East depend on their body to fight. Westhill Consulting Travel and Tours listed some of the martial arts per country in Asia that you might need to attend to when you are traveling: Bangladesh Lathi khela is a traditional martial art of Bangladesh and India that emphasize weapon-based fighting with sticks and other weapons. Lathi made by bamboo and other materials. Lathi khela teaches self-defense with sticks. One who specialized himself in wielding lathi and who lived on the martial art came to be known as lathial. The Lathial Bahini (group of lathials) performed various acts on the Eid or Puja occasion. Lathi Khela has a remarkable history but the popularity is on the wane now with the existence of fraud practices and strategies. China We all know Chinese Martial Arts which is also called Kung Fu. We find these fighting skills from Jackie Chan and Jet Li. Kung Fu, as a matter of fact have developed over the centuries in China. These fighting styles are often classified according to common traits, identified as "families" (家; jiā), "sects" (派; pài) or "schools" (門; mén) of martial arts. Styles that focus on qi manipulation are called internal while others that concentrate on improving muscle and cardiovascular fitness are called "external".

    I know we all cannot get enough of colors. People say that there are mental effects of seeing colors which brighten up moods help stimulate happy hormones in our life. Westhill Consulting Travel and Tours provides you more colorful places to visit around the world: Keukenhof Park, Lisse, The Netherlands Also called the "Garden of Europe," Keukenhof Park (which covers 80 acres) is planted with over 7 million flower bulbs every year. Though the park is only open from March to May, it has been around since 1949 and remains a major attraction for tourists and dignitaries alike. Many people who have visited the place have thought that the flowers which is sprayed with tulips, roses and other wild flowers are fraud but when it seems too good to be true, they are actually real array of colors. Kelimutu crater lakes, Indonesia Far from the buzzing busy street of Jakarta, Indonesia, Kelimutu, one of hundreds of volcanoes in Indonesia, is unique in that it is topped with three crater lakes of drastically different colors. Tiwu Ata Mbupu ("Lake of Old People") sits apart from the other two and appears deep blue or even black. Tiwu Nuwa Muri Koo Fai ("Lake of Maidens") is separated from Tiwu Ata Polo ("Enchanted Lake") by a shared crater wall. These lakes tend to be bright blue-green and red, respectively. The colors of these lakes have been known to change depending on the chemical composition of the water and the position of the sun. Guilin Rice Terraces, Longji, China Located in southern China close to Vietnam, the Longji terraced rice fields cover an area of almost 20,000 acres and rise as high as 3,600 feet into the air. These fields, nicknamed the "Dragon's Backbone" because of their resemblance to scales, first appeared in this area around 1300 AD and take on a different appearance in every season, depending on the life cycle of the rice being grown. Many reviews has also been written on this place which shows petitions for it t

Pack and Go - 1 views

    Each one of us deserves a vacation every now and then. It can help us live life. All work is no good. We all need to relax for a while and have a little time to enjoy. We at Westhill Consulting Travel and Tours call it Traveling Life. Admit it or not, the first issue we have during the travel is on packing. Yes, you read it right. Issue. Packing is a big challenge prior to traveling and it leads to a big issue. Here are some tips for you to review the next time you are packing all the stuff that you have: * Pack as light as possible. Ask the simple question: "Do I want it or do I need it and if I need it am I will to cart it around?" There is little you really need when you travel. * Travel with a light backpack. If you are moving between places, backpacks leave your hands free to hold their hands. * Pack just a few clothes with only a couple complimentary, solid colors - no patterns. Black is a good idea if you need to be able to dress up and be casual. * Pack only what you can carry on to the flight. Warning: excess baggage is expensive. * Put everything you want to bring in a pile and slowly strip away things that aren't necessary. * Leave the laptop behind, as well as blackberry and any other tech gadget. For computer addicts, being away from the internet's constant flow of data for a few days recharges and relaxes you in ways that you never experience at home. * Bring along a small, foldable umbrella to protect against the UV rays of sunlight and possible rain. * Most toiletries can be found easily in your destination country so you won't have to file complaints on where to relieve yourself. * If it's something you think you can buy there more cheaply than at home, then don't bring it (especially if it's something you don't already have). * Bring one book, and w
