End of the Road

Im done. i traveled around the world and saw many places and  learned a lot. Some places I will miss, and regretting not going to others. Goodbye world, i will miss ya.

Price of The Amazing Race

Traveling around around the world wasn't cheap you know that. If I won a contest this will be easy. San Jose to Orlando, Florida cost $325.40. Orlando, Florida to Sao Paulo cost $836.30. Sao Paulo to Paris, France cost $1,202.90. France to George was $1,729.70. George to south Korea Seoul was $1,192.00. south Korea Seoul  to Sydney was $496.80. Sydney to Rio Gallegos was $2,780.10(not mentioning the driving and cruising). And $2,134.60 just to fly back to San Jose. That is a total of over $10697.80. NOT including food, hotels, and etc.

Antarctica Attraction

Antarctica doesn't have much to do so i just this appears to a good sight seeing place.

Antarctica

Antarctica is hard to get to because there is no airports to get to. the only way for me was to fly to Rio Gallegos, drive to Ushuaia, and request a cruise just to go there, not to mention about going back. The ancient Greeks are the ones who first came up with the idea of Antarctica. Antarctica was (and still is) a distant place visited by few, largely unknown and only recently brought to public awareness, which is the reason why it is so hard to get to. Antarctica had been a part of what i heard as "Gondwanaland". it also consist of Africa, Antarctica, Australia, India and New Zealand that broke up.

Sydney Attraction

For Sydney, i thought to check thing out on water and and on air. the seaplanes give you a tour around the place. there is a bunch of boats and cruises i thought I can never get to the water, but found a cruise and it showed a great view that can look better while the sun is falling.

6TH:Sydney

Sydney appears to the oldest and largest city. The first people to occupy the area now known as Sydney were Australian Aborigines and had thought to have the finest collection of rock carvings in the world. It was established an elected city council in 1840 and was from 1788-1900 the capital of the British colony of New South Wales.

SEOUL SOUTH KOREA Attractions

First start by watching this video:2pm-fly-to-seoul-boom-boom-boom

Seoul really has a lot of places to check out. The 63 building is the tallest in Seoul and is a mayor attraction, with a panoramic view of Seoul. it also has offices, restaurants, coffee shops, banquet halls, an aquarium, and an IMAX theater. The aquarium appears to be the best one housing 400 different species with a total of 20,000 fish. First-class restaurants like Samwon Garden is the largest one in Korea, serving up to 1,200 people at a time. Dimatteo is the best place for pizza, you can choose your own topping while the whole thing being cooked.
to be honest, Seoul was the best place yet.

5TH: SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA

Seoul is also said to being the largest. The first settlement began in Baekje, Wirye-seong, in 17 BC. After independence in 1945, Koreans renamed the city Seoul(Which also means Capital City in Korean). In 1949, Seoul was separated from Gyeonggi Province and was granted status as "Seoul Special City". In 1950, during the Korean War, Seoul was occupied by North Korean troops and the city was almost entirely destroyed, but was soon retaken by UN Forces on 14 March 1951.

Africa, George Attractions

George's attractions goes to Abu Simbel in Egypt to the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania. Mt Kilimanjaro, at 19340 ft, is known as the highest.Victoria Falls on the Zambia has a waterfall found on the Zambezi river at the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe. Abu Simbel is  best known for two reasons: their dazzling magnificence, and their historic relocation from their original cliff.

4TH: Africa, George

Africa, George was established as a result of the growing demand for timber and the wood used in building, transport and furniture. In 1811 George was declared a separate district and Adriaan Geysbertus van Kervel was appointed the first Landrost (magistrate) and the town was proclaimed by the Earl of Caledon, governor of the Cape Colony on St George's Day, 23 April 1811, and named after the reigning British monarch, King George III. One of Van Kervel's first acts as Landrost (Mayor), was to dig a furrow to supply the first thirty six plots in George with water.

Paris France Attractions

Paris's attraction goes to the Sacre Coeur to Paris Hotels. The Eiffel Tower reminds me of Tokyo Tower in Japan. The reason I chose to come here is because of a company name Parrot. It makes speakers to expansive copters like the one I shown in the beginning of the blog. 

THIRD: Paris, France

Paris was also known to the largest too. It was discovered during the later 1900's. It normally gained its name from Viking settlers and the Duke of Normandy took the throne of English in 1066. there is a day called Bastille Day, celebrated on July 14, 1789, is France's independence day. In 1789 the citizens of France stormed the Bastille, sparking the French Revolution, and the eventual dethroning of the monarchy. France's National Anthem was the tune sung by the men of Marseille as they marched to Paris in support of the revolution. Every July, the Tour de France roars through the country starting in Strasbourg and ending in Paris 2,261 miles later. One of the most unique sporting attractions in the world, legions of tourist line up along the route to support their countrymen, party, and jump about like a it's midnight on New Years Eve.

Sao Paulo Attractions

NEXT: South America, Sao Paulo

The next stop is Sao Paulo. Sao Paulo is the biggest city in South Amarica. It first became a city in 1711. the First European, João Ramalho, settler-ed here after being shipwreaked. Later it became a home for the bandeirantes. Stuff like gold was first discovered never the end of the 1700's, as well as coffee.

FIRST STOP: Orlando, Florida

I been researching this place and found it is the 79th largest city(27th largest metro area, or 6th largest in the south) in the US because it holds a population of 238,300 people. Back then, the place was known as Jernigan from the first permanent settler, Aaron Jernigan, a cattleman who acquired land along Lake Holden by the terms of the Armed Occupation Act in 1842. few years later, Jernigan became Orlando in 1857. The place was nicknamed "The City Beautiful," and its symbol is the fountain at Lake Eola. That's all i know for now, but now I'll go straight to he attractions.
