Before, I never heard about Lithuania, I just knew this
country from a friend of mine who live in this country. Because of him I was able to know the Secret
of this place….Lithuania.
Lithuania
Lithuania is a country in Northern Europe the biggest of the
three Baltic states. It is located along the southeastern shore of the Baltic
Sea, and across the Baltic Sea to the west lie Sweden and Denmark. It shares
borders with Latvia to the north, Belarus to the east and south, Poland to the
south, and a Russian exclave (Kaliningrad Oblast ) to the southwest. Lithuania
has an estimated population of 3.2 million as of 2011, and its capital and
largest city is Vilnius. Lithuania is famously known for the amount of
churches and sacred sites. The country has strong Russian and German influences
that can be appreciated in places.
Vilnius, The Capital City
Vilnius is the most enthralled place you should visit in Lithuania. Situatedat the confluence of the rivers Neris and Vilnia, the capital of Lithuania is one of the most visited cities in EasternEurope. The Vilnius Old Town – a Baroque masterpiece as they say – was included in the UNESCO World
Heritage List in 1994. Vilnius has long been called Little Rome, North Athens
or North Jerusalem. Approximately 40
churches of various architectural styles stand here, and some authentic
buildings with Gothic, Renaissance or Classical features have survived. Vilnius
though it is the city, you can still find a lot of remarkable places to visit.
Kaunas
Kaunas is the second largest city and one of the top eastern
European cities to visit, and it's just 90 minutesdrive
west of Vilnius drive. Kaunas is a great destination if you’re planning on
doing a day trip from Vilnius, though the city is also an
excellent place to base your vacation in Lithuania. Old City
of Kaunas has many significant architecture and historical monuments. In the
confluence of Nemunas and Neris stands Kaunas Castle. From City Hall to center
of the city stretches Vilniaus street intended for pedestrians, whereby it is
very comfortable to reach in all Lithuania famous Freedom Avenue (lith. Laisvės
Alėja).
Trakai
Trakai happens to be one of the most stunning places in Lithuania;
it’s on the edge of a vast lake that contains quite a number of small
islands. You see many sailing and motor boats, as well as all the cafes
and restaurants you’d expect for a town that draws tourists in like a
magnet. Its showpiece however, is its Island Castle, dating to the 14th
Century. The castle is made of red brick and takes up almost the entirety of
the island upon which it sits. It’s really a very gorgeous site, no doubt
largely due to the fact that it was rebuilt from rubble during the 20th
Century; however it does give a very good sign to how the castle initially
looked.
Curonian Spit
Curonian Spit is a narrow strip (maximum width is 3,8 km) of
sand stretching 97 kilometers along the Baltic Sea. The eastern shores of the
Curonian Spit are washed by the Curonian Lagoon, while the Baltic Sea washes
the western shores. Curonian Spit is also a great place for bird watchers,
because migration routes run through the Curonian Spit. They said that once you visit the Curonian
Spit in spring and you’ll be amazed to see flocks of birds coming back to
Lithuania.
There are still a lot
of great places you can visit in Lithuania, too many to see and not too hard to
find. All you have to do is to have someone with you who lives in the country or
maybe find a tourist guide to guide you to all this magnificent places. Good
for me, I have a friend who show me this wonderful place. Thanks to you Laurynas!
South Korea, the democratic country of Korea! South Korea came out of the war as a free nation unlike North Korea which is more on communism kind of government. Over the years North and South Korea have developed separately from each other. After years of difficulties for South Korea, they have finally emerged as a thriving nation. On the other hand, North Korea is sinking further and further into trouble, as they face mass starvation and economic problems. While South Korea has experienced economic success and Christianity, North Korea has been given starvation and their former leader to worship. The two countries face the most militarized border in the world. Given North Korea's refusal to join the international community who support religious freedom, but instead put their faith in militarism, they are unlikely to find peace. One more thing is, South Korea celebrate Christmas unlike North Korea where people only rely to their government. But let’s stay behind the sad part but let me share you the good and overwhelming places of South Korea.
Jindo Island
Jindo Island, the most beautiful and extravagant beach in South Korea which is located South of Korean peninsula which is 6 hours away from Seoul. Jindo is the third largest island in South Korea. The island has many park reserves like the Dadohae National Marine Park, historical relics and sites; and you can find traditional artistic performances everywhere. With the Jindo Bridge construction completed, the island is connected to the mainland. Every year during the month of February on the Lunar Calendar, the sea parts, mimicking the parting of the sea by Moses. Many tourists come to watch this rare spectacle. There are mascots found around the island that symbolize the friendly image of the Jindo dog, which happens to be natural treasure no.53.
Gwangandaero Bridge, Busan
Busan is the 2nd biggest city of Korea, located the opposite side of Korean peninsula in Gyungsang-do (Gyungsang province). It also serves as the country's main port for international cargo, as well as passenger ferries to Japan and Jeju Island. The city is well-known for its seafood and beaches, as well as the Hallyosudo Waterway with its charming islands. The Busan fish market has a huge selection of fresh seafood in the early morning. Although mainly known as a port, the city has many steep hills, creating a very unusual mix of mountains and ocean. The area remained relatively untounched during the Korean War, but the flood of refugees drastically shaped the city. Busan's close propinquity to the ocean gives it milder winters than other places in Korea, enabling people to enjoy the night life in more soothe than other areas. As a major port of call for international shipping, the harbor area has a thriving district that caters to the thousands of sailors and other visitors who pass through each year.
And lastly, Jeju Island which is also known as the "Island of the Gods," the most admired and popular vacation spot for Koreans and many Japanese. It remains one of the top honeymoon destinations for Korean newlyweds. The island's mixture of volcanic rock, frequent rains, and temperate climate, make it very similar to the Hawaiian Islands in the U.S. The island offers visitors a wide range of activities: hiking on Halla-san (South Korea's highest peak), catching sunrises and sunsets over the ocean, viewing majestic waterfalls, riding horses, or just lying around on the sandy beaches. Tourism is one of the main industries of the island. Many of the hotels and other tourist areas are run by mainland companies; so much of the income never gets put back into the local economy. Also, since the attractions are geared towards tourists, many of the entrance fees are very expensive (although the locally owned and operated ones tend to be cheaper). Similar to Gyeongju and some other areas, local residents can enter most places for free or for a steeply discounted price.
Jeju Island is also the island where most Korean dramas were shot that’s why I love the place and aiming to stay there for vacation. I only saw this island on one of the Korean drama that I watch and was curious about the place that’s why I search for it and check where does the island is located. I hope that someday I can visit the place and enjoy my vacation and pampered myself with its indulging beauty. I would say that this island is the pride of South Korea. Before, I only love Korean dramas , Korean songs and kimchi but now I would say "I love South Korea".
