A Summer in Rome

July 3, 2012 by Hans BeltranLeave a Comment

The temperatures in Rome range from 22 C ( 73 F) to 30 C (87 F) during the summer months. During this hot period, it is usually dry, with only four rainy days on average in a month. The humidity is normally around 70% year-long, but ancient fountains still cool the public streets to make things more comfortable. Many of the holidays celebrated by the locals are Catholic in nature, but this is because the Vatican is located within the borders of … [Read more...]

Lost in the City of Dreams

July 1, 2011 by Kevin WallaceLeave a Comment

I had long been promising myself a visit to Istanbul, European Capital of Culture for 2010. So with the Bayram festival now approaching and the summer sun warming the earth, I couldn't resist a visit to this most ostentatious city of spires, a fabulously inspiring metropolis of imperial dreams; and it was only a magic carpet ride away. I arrived exhausted but excited, my heart in my hands here at the epicentre of three empires. Straddling two … [Read more...]

Breezing through the Windy City

April 28, 2011 by Ivona SiniarskaLeave a Comment

This last weekend in lieu of the Easter Holidays and my Uncle's 50th birthday I flew down to Chicago to spend the weekend with my family and go on a little adventure. Chicago is a huge city and a fairly popular one in North America; although last year alone I transited through the city 14 times I have never actually set foot outside of the airport, so needless to say I was quite curious and excited to grab a camera and have my cousin host me … [Read more...]

Hong Kong in December: A Great In-Between

January 7, 2010 by Anne BennettLeave a Comment

While most tourists prefer to head someplace warm and cozy to escape the cold of winter, I love to do just the opposite and head to Hong Kong. I am strangely drawn to the chill, the rains, and the wind. Besides, I also love the fact that while it is chilly, it does not snow, and no snow means no blizzards which is perfect for me. Hong Kong in winter is a refreshing and wonderful respite after an extended stay in tropical heat where it's 98 … [Read more...]

Originally a religious feast day honoring Ireland's patron Saint, the first parades were actually held in Boston and New York in the eighteenth century.
