Walking from New Jersey to New York and Back

October 7, 2015 by Brian CicioniLeave a Comment

Over the past 2 years, I’ve walked over the BMW (Brooklyn, Manhattan, Williamsburg) bridges, which connect Brooklyn and Manhattan. This summer, I finally walked over the George Washington Bridge and highly recommend it to any urban explorer. As a car owner who lives in Pennsylvania, I drove as close as possible to the pedestrian entrance on the New Jersey side of the bridge. If you are a history buff (like myself), I recommend parking at Fort … [Read more...]

Terezin

August 20, 2014 by Megan O'ConnorLeave a Comment

Old cemetery in Prague's Jewish Quarter[/caption]Its my junior year of college, and while my peers are headed to party in Amsterdam, or find their soul-mates in some handsome young Italian, I find myself bound for Prague. Curiosity got the best of me, so there I was off to explore in the land of Kafka, Dvorak, and Pilsner beer.   Designed to give students a broad cultural, political and historical view of Czechoslovakia, the gem in this course … [Read more...]

‘Someday’ – When Europe called

July 16, 2014 by Bidisha DasGuptaLeave a Comment

It was sometime in early 2011. I was having a chat with a couple of friends centered on a quote from the Tom Cruise starrer ‘Knight and Day’. Not exactly the kind of movie to throw up quotes worthy of discussion or much thought. But surprisingly, it did have one particularly special quote– moving, thought-provoking, enigmatic and slightly frightening if I may say so. “Someday. That's a dangerous word. It's really just a code for 'never'. … [Read more...]

Amsterdam

June 23, 2014 by Alison MartinLeave a Comment

Capital of the Netherlands, Amsterdam is an incredible city to visit filled with an incredible history and excitement. One of the cultural must-sees when getting to the city is the Begijnhof. Dated back to 1307, it is one of the oldest inner courts in the Netherlands. The court was originally a secluded area where only women lived promising obedience to the parish priest. A soothing sight with beautiful architecture and a perfect little … [Read more...]

Experiencing the Life of Anne

June 20, 2014 by Lauren MarinighLeave a Comment

Have you ever had that feeling of complete darkness? Not from something unpleasant happening to you, but for a moment you step into someone else’s shoes and see their life from their perspective, or at least try too. This is the feeling that you get when entering a place like the Anne Frank House. It is a feeling that is hard to even prepare yourself for, and a feeling that you don’t get from anything else. I visited the Anne Frank House on my … [Read more...]

Amsterdam -Top Hats, Absinth and Chocolate Sprinkles

June 11, 2014 by Anastasia KaufmanLeave a Comment

“I want to live in ONLY places where I can wear a pink wig.” These were the heart felt, love stricken words of my friend in love with the way Amsterdam made her feel. So far I have been to two cities that made me feel magic in the air. One is San Francisco where I have lived since I left home at 18; and the other is Amsterdam. There is something about the air there that makes you want to stay and never go home. I remember as a kid whenever … [Read more...]

Bucket Shop Blues

June 7, 2014 by John Edwards1 Comment

Daring to save deflationary dollars during a worldwide recession, John M. Edwards tries a risky “bucket shop” for cheapo airfare to Amsterdam, ending up on a white-knuckles chariot charter flight from hell. . . . For the umpteenth time I must reiterate: It is now high time to cash in and use up all those Frequent Flyer Miles. But with a worldwide economic disaster grounding us with nightmare worries about the future and egregious … [Read more...]

Café Hopping in the Hot Spots of Indonesia

May 9, 2014 by John EdwardsLeave a Comment

I went out to get a cup of java in Java and ended up on an infernal coffee odyssey through the Indonesian archipelago. Stretching out like a Komodo Dragon some 6,400 kilometers across the Ring of Fire, from the coffee plantations and wild orangutans of Sumatra to the primary rainforests and decorative penis gourds of Irian Jaya, Indonesia is the ideal launching pad to crash land into some of the most dramatic sights in Southeast Asia. … [Read more...]

Amsterdam’s Top Cultural Attractions

November 15, 2013 by DaveLeave a Comment

Amsterdam is rapidly regaining its status as a top tourist destination in the world. In the early years of the nineteenth century, Amsterdam was regarded as the top city to visit in Europe, an achievement that the city has been struggling to attain in the past few years. The robust efforts placed by the Government and other private corporations have seen a rise in the number of visitors to this great Dutch city in the past few years. Being … [Read more...]
