Although the major attractions in Las Vegas are the casinos, I’m more interested in experiencing the lifestyle of the 32nd most populated state of the USA. Can you imagine being in a place where there would be buildings lighted up every night time? One of the places I would love to visit would be the Fremont Street Experience which is a major tourist attraction and a pedestrian mall in down town Las Vegas, Nevada. Another place which would be interesting would be the Neon Museum which would display old neon signs of Las Vegas casinos as far back as 1940.
There would also be concerts and light shows occasionally. I hope I can get to see one and experience the millions of LED lighted canopy within the FSE. Now there are so many hotels with thousands of room in them for me to choose from. Which of these hotels should I choose? I guessed I would just chose one Vegas hotel that would suit my basic needs as I would surely be busy snapping shots of the surrounding area all the time.
I also found out that there would be the Neonopolis which would form the east end of the pedestrian mall, where Las Vegas Boulevard South meets Fremont Street. This is definitely a place I would visit. Who would want to miss out a $100 million open-air restaurant, shop and entertainment complex with a 14-screen Galaxy Theaters movie theater? As the date for my vacation is drawing nearer each day, I better start packing my luggage now for a fun-filled experience.
I'm thirsty for a drink now. Would you be kind enough to treat me?

Do you believe that home theater systems, furniture, flooring and carpeting were created for some reasons? Yes, they are to make your life more comfortable especially after a hard day’s of work? Coming back from work and indulging yourself into your own created living room settings should be something you would like to look forward to each day.
Since living room is the place for your total comfort and relaxation, you should take note of what would be the ideal combination. As for me, I would love to relax by watching some movies on my home theater set. The first thing I would do would be to slumber onto the nearest comfortable furniture I could find regardless of where they would be. Thus, I had the floor lined with some home theater carpeting and some bean bags. Not only did these simple setting suits my personal taste of freedom, it also allows wide seating space because I would never know who else might just drop by for a visit.
There are many books and magazine that would suggest the ideal looks, styles and selection for your living room but I would always like the idea of simplicity. I would surely not sacrifice comfort for style. After all, who would not want to be in a comfortable and relaxing ambience after a hard day’s of work?

Having a room as your personal gym can be real exciting if you know exactly what exercise equipments you should get. There are thousands of equipments out the in the market place and choosing one might not be so easy after all. Where do you look for your perfect exercise equipment then? If you have to budget, you can get what you want and replace them with latest models anytime you wishes to. What would happen then if you have a tight budget and yet you would want to stay as fit as you can?
Well, here is one solution. You can just look for the ideal equipment which would not only help you to get rid of those unnecessary fatty pasts of your body but also help in maintaining your fitness for as long as you ever wanted. Have you heard about NordicTrack’s Incline Trainer? This great exercise equipment will shape up your body with just 20 minutes of regular workout. What made this equipment my ideal choice is that I can incline the platform to the percentage I like. The greater the inclination I set, the more calories I could burn. Moreover, you would be able to build and sculpt muscle as never before. Isn’t that what most of us would want?
Nobody would regret getting one for the family. It is worth every amount you had sweated out. It’s a real value for your money and it would last you for a long time.

Having the luxury of living in a 3,693 sq ft condominium with spacious balconies with views of the panoramic sea and city skyline was wonderful. Upon entering the condominium, you can see a stretch of casuarinas trees encircled by the sight of beautiful sunsets, sound of the splashing waves against the glittering white sand and soft air from the tropical breezes. Don’t you think this is life?
Everything seems to fall into places right now except that I am short of something… a perfect home theater system for my living room. I have checked around for a system that would be ideal for that space but there were just too many brands around that confused my decision further. It was not until I met a sound engineer friend of mine that my dilemma was solved.
Since he was the expert in getting the best sound effects for my room, I allowed him to choose the best brand for me. He recommended me the Harman Kardon CP65 5.1-channel Home Theater In-A-Box with DVD player, a perfectly matched and powerful home theater system. The whole system has the AVR 347`s DCDi(R) by Faroudja processing and scaling, a powerful high-current amplifier and two-input, Simplay HD(TM)-verified connectivity, then add the DVD 48`s 1080p playback of conventional DVDs through its Simplay HD-verified output, and complete the system with the power of the HKTS 18`s perfectly matched speakers.
This is what I call life! Now I can invite all my friends over to watch the Barclays Premier League on TV. I think I better head down to the nearest supermarket now to stock up my refrigerator with cans of drinks and some munchies.

Believe or not, I have not even visited Bangkok yet although I have been staying within this region for many years. My next vacation destination should definitely be Bangkok as I can discover its inspiring beauty and endless charm. Bangkok is a place rich in cultural phenomenon, a shopping heaven for me who worship their latest fashion trend and a place where I can experience the taste of their culinary skills.
There are many splendid temples surrounding the city, including Wat Pho, the oldest and largest in Bangkok, which housed a 46 meters reclining Buddha as far back as the time of King Rama. On top of that, it would be a rare occasion where I can take some photos of the colorful floating market along the waterways, also known as “Venice of the East”. If time permits, I would not mind having some romantic moments in a dinner cruise along the Chao Phraya River.
As for shopping, I surely won’t want to miss out the Siam Paragon and Central World, two of the biggest and most luxurious malls in South East Asia. Siam Square should be another great place to hang about for great bargains. I hope I have enough energy left after the shopping spree for their night entertainment. One prominent feature in the night life in Bangkok is that almost all the pubs and discos are having live band performances. That would be a great experience as most of time we have DJs only.
A visit to a foreign country for vacation won’t be complete if we do not try out their local delicacies. I for sure would want to try out their Tom Yam Kung (hot and sour seafood soup), Green Curry, Phat Thai (Thai-style fried noodles), Phat Kaphrao Mu (fried pork fried with basil leaves), Khao Niew Ma Muang (glutinous rice garnished with sweet coconut cream and ripe mango), Tub Tim Grob, etc. Gosh! My list will go on forever as I have always like Thai cuisine a lot.
Now I can’t stop myself from thinking about my next vacation. Who else to blame but myself for finding out too many interesting things to do in Bangkok? LOL! Anyway, I will need to check on the validity of my passport and also to get travel insurance for my trip. Bangkok! Here I come!
