A Rolex kiosk which is typically comprised of a flat, black, rounded griddle, is a viable option for many Ugandans to make money. The griddle sits above a charcoal stove—called a sigiri. Often times, the omelet may have vegetables like cabbage, carrot, onion, or tomato mixed into the egg. And finally, there’s the chapati, which mustn’t be cooked too thoroughly so that it remains soft enough to be rolled up without cracking. These Rolex stalls are popular amongst local areas for easy access, it might also be in the cafeteria of the hotel or lodge you will be staying.

Fascinating Reasons Why Buea Should Be Your Next Travel Destination.

Buea is a historic town that lies in the South West Région of Cameroon and the closest to the Eastern slopes of Mount Cameroon. This volanic mountain last erupted in 1999 and is well known for the annual mountain race and a suitable avenue for camping amidst being very cold. Buea is the capital of the South West Region of Cameroon. The town fondly called the town of legendary hospitality, is located in the Fako Division of Cameroon and inhabits about 350,000 people. It hosts students, youths, adults and aged people who come together for various reasons like education, leisure, shelter, and work purposes. One of the binding forces of these coalescent people is the language. The primary languages spoken are English, French, Pidgin and Mokpe specifically spoken by the indigenous Bakweri people who happen to be the chief custodians of the city.

The town is graced with beautiful restaurants, hotels, which act as pleasurable places for tourists. Buea has 2 alluring government hotels namely Parliamentarian Flat and Mountain hotel which have been beautifully architected. Other touristic arenas are; the Holy shrine, the reunification monument, the prime minister’s lodge, the grand stand and not forgetting the biggest and lone higher institution, University of Buea. This government higher institute opens its arms to over 250,000 students yearly from different regions of the country. The University of Buea employs over 50 fields of studies and has separate campuses for students in tech aswell as medical practitioners though still located in Buea. There are other private higher institutions found in this town which empower people intellectually. It is worth mentioning that there are a good number of primary, secondary and high schools which are both private and government owned.

The aforementioned beautiful sceneries will have no value if people from neighboring and distant towns don’t come for visits, tourism and pleasure. Given that the town is relatively small, traveling is easy and straight forward. At the gateways of Buea, is found the mile 17 motor park which is the final bus stop for everyone leaving Buea and coming to Buea. The park has a series of bus agencies where individuals pay bus tickets to a specific direction. We are made to understand that, some people may have pressing issues and reasons why traveling is important and cannot wait for these buses to get full before leaving so they have to resort to using clandestine drivers who are also located at the park but charge a little over the normal fare.

At the park, tickets are paid for both long distances of about 6-8 hours as well as very short distances to the nearest town of about 30 minutes. Once a bus ticket is paid, the individual goes into the vehicle to reserve a seat. Unlike the clandestine vehicles, individuals only pay their money to the driver upon arrival at the destination.

Sheda savage describes the traveling experience as one that expands the mind and fills the gap. Though plagued with the anglophone crisis, Buea is still able to give a mix of these feelings hence, travelling to Buea, the town of legendary hospitality gives a very therapeutic and rejuvenating experience.

“Pearl” of Tartu (Estonia) for introverts and nature lovers🌱

Tartu is the second-largest city in Estonia, famous for its University, ranked among 3 % of the best academic units in the world, and therefore sometimes considered the “intellectual capital city”.

Tartu is a safe, cosy and calm city which, from first sight, looks like a big student campus, but it is way more than that. It has many museums, including the Estonian National Museum, worth visiting for its extensive collection of Estonian ethnography and folk art, a lot of small, stylish and vibing cafes, beautiful parks and impressive architecture.

We promise you to tell more about all of it in our future posts, but today our primary focus is University Botanical Garden.

It is the oldest botanical garden in Baltics, owning more than 10 000 plant species, occupied with nice walking roads, comfy benches, alcove to play chess or other games/have a talk/hide from the weather.
It is definitely one of the places that are better once seen than 10 times read about.
So, we offering you a collection of spring pics from the Garden as a little spoiler to warm up your desire to visit.

Enjoy! 💚

7 Unusual facts about Sweden

Today we would like to introduce you to the home of Karlsson and ABBA.
Sweden, with its functional, mature, and stylish solutions in everything from the architectural layout and the way of life to its passers-by( oh, those extremely thought-provoking faces😂), is
ideally in line with IKEA’s vision: “better everyday life for the many people.”
And we guarantee that every visiting tourist’s life does get better😊 for the duration of the trip to the country.


Nevertheless, even being super-good, some things may seem relatively non-standard for foreigners.

🔹Multi-level underground stations.

Each direction doesn’t have its own side on the platform but its own floor. Distracted and unsure of navigation, people can successfully get lost running around this transport “layer cake.”


🔹Stylish pensioners.

You don’t see so many well-dressed and extremely stylish men and women of age even on fashion shows.

Note: The image is illustrative. Source: pinterest.com


🔹Unstoppable traffic.

The concept of ‘traffic light’ is very vague in the local streets. They won’t give you the road. “You want to live, know how to run a good red light.” So, be cautious and note that there are several separate roads for bicycles and cars.


🔹The unusual “portioning” of products.

For example, the cheese counter consists of packs of two types: 100g ( a one-time eat option) or a kilo. You choose.


🔹Focus on vegetarians.

You can see banners with veg menus in the middle of every fast food restaurant. At McDonald’s, you don’t have to scour the burger offerings for carrot or apple wedges. At least 3 options of meat alternative-based food are offered: a tofu-cottage/fish/double cheeseburger, all with no dairy sauce. By the way, did you know that the famous “Oatly” is a Swedish company? As we said, Swedish people know how to make a meat and dairy-free diet tasty?


🔹 Dog culture.


If you don’t have a dog and live in Stockholm, there’s obviously something wrong with you. At least that’s the impression one gets. From stylish pensioners to brutal businessmen – all are running by with leashes in their hands.

The beauty of Lake Como

For everyone who plan to visit Italy and Lake Como not on the list, i think you need to revise all the plan. Just to make sure you wont missed the beauty of Lake Como. 

Lake como is a city in Italy, northern Italy, 25 miles (40 km) north of Milan. So, we decided to take 1 day trip to Lake Como when we were at Milan at that time. 

The journey takes between 36 minutes and 1 hour. Bought our TRENITALIA Train ticket from the machine at Milan Central Station and don’t worry there are lots of trains heading to Lake Como.

The ticket price is 5 – 15€ for one way and children under 6 are free. Make sure you arrive at the gate 10 mins before departure, because we were but you don’t need to buy a new ticket (as long as the destination remains the same). 

We already booked a hotel for a 1 night stay and we decided to choose a nice hotel. So our choice goes to Hilton Lake Como :).

When we arrived at Como Lago station, we already checked the route and planned to walk to the hotel from the train station. 

Como Lago station

This is the main road of Lake Como and it was so beautiful and so peaceful.  PS : the road and the public transport are stroller friendly. So, if you plan to visit Lake Como with kids, then its a YES!

Lake Como in Italy

Before heading to the city we managed to check the swimming pool first, and I hope we are on the same page, because for me the view so beautiful, almost burst the tears.

Hilton Lake Como, Swimming Pool

Then, after lunch time we went out and explored the city center. We bought a bus ticket from the parking machine nearby. We don’t have any specific plan but we are looking for Mcd ( LOL) because our toddler refuse to eat at the hotel. So went to the city centre and Como’s Old Town.

Explore Como’s Old Town

The next day, after breakfast and spend time at swimming pool, we manage to walking around the city before heading back to Milan. And I decided, this is the city that i wish to visit again someday.

So, we walked from our hotel and visit Villa Olmo but did not go inside, we just enjoying the breathtaking view from the garden. Villa Olmo was acquired in 1924 by the municipality of Como and today is open to the public only during exhibitions, while the lakeside gardens are freely accessible during the daytime.

So we walk through the the lake, my heart keep beating so fast and suddenly 1 day not enough to stay here. I need 7 days stay at Como. Hope to see you again Como :).

So, here few recommendation few kids friendly restaurants in Tallinn that we really love because they have a playroom :

  1. Vapiano Foorum

Calling all pasta lovers! The self service and open kitchen concept is quite interesting. Where you can order Pasta/Pizza/Risotto directly to the chef and watch them cooking in front of you. And the best part is, Vapiano has most comfortable playroom. You can sit and enjoy your meal while watching your kids in the playroom. Don’t forget to order 5€ pizza for your kids. I’m pretty sure kids will love it. 

Location : Vapiano Foorum, Hobujaama 10,  Tallinn

2. Lou Lou

This one I think is quite new in town and better make some reservations. The food was great, we went there for brunch and we really love the coffee. But, I didn’t see they had a kids menu and sometimes the order took a bit long. I hope their service is getting better by now. 

Location : Lou Lou Laeva 1, Tallinn.

3. Babyback Ribs & BBQ

This restaurant is always the best choice when you go to Ulemiste Mall, on the 2nd floor. It’s like a hidden gem, because you can’t see the playground from outside. The food was always great and they also served kids meals. PS : Sometimes they will give us vouchers for the next visit.

8 Incredibly Interesting Facts About Japan

Japan has been captivating travelers since it first opened up to international trade in 1853. While its many traditions and cultural landmarks persist, Japan is also one of the leading economic and technological centers of the world. Ancient gods and traditional customs sit side by side with cutting edge technologies and trendy pop culture, and there is always something new to experience on a visit. From the fashion in Harajuku to perfect produce, to empty orchestras and bizarre meal-time etiquette, here are the top 8 facts about Japan you probably never knew.
1)A Highway that Goes Through a Building

In Osaka, the Hanshin Expressway goes directly through the Gate Tower Building’s 5th, 6th, and 7th floors. In reality, the workers in the building don’t really notice as the walls and floors of the building are soundproof and the highway doesn’t actually touch the building.

2)Japanese Trains are Extremely Punctual

Trains in Japan are so punctual that it’s scary! A In fact, in 2017, the Tsukuba Express line between Tokyo and Tsukuba made global headlines when the management of the train line apologized publicly for leaving the station 20 seconds early.

3)Japan has the World’s Deepest Underwater Postbox

The deepest underwater postbox is located in Susami, which is a famous fishing town in Wakayama Prefecture and was recorded by Guinness World Records in 2002. The postbox is located 30 feet underwater and since 1999 has collected more than 32,000 pieces of mail.

4)69% of Japan is Covered in Forest

When you think of Japan, you probably think of all the different cities there are in the country. Surprisingly the majority of Japan at 69%, is actually covered in forests.

5)About 1500 earthquakes strike Japan every year

The frequency of the earthquakes is caused by the location of the country across three tectonic plates called the “Pacific Ring of Fire”.

6)Japanese melons can cost you over $200

These precious fruits play a large role in the country’s gift-giving culture- samurai would offer tangerines or melons to their shogun as a token of appreciation. Nowadays, farmers meticulously tend to these fruits by hand, which adds to the allure.

7)The Last Emperor in the World

Japan is the only country in the world with an Emperor. Even though the Emperor of Japan doesn’t hold much power and mostly plays a symbolic role, they are still a proud part of the traditions in Japan.

8)No Shoes Allowed Inside

Before entering any Japanese house, you will most likely be asked to remove your shoes and will be given a clean pair of indoor slippers to wear. What makes Japan unique is that you’ll also see this happen at restaurants and even in some workplaces. In Japan, it is deemed rude to wear shoes inside a house.

The Most Dangerous Activities

In this article, we make some dangerous activities list for you. While they may not kill you, some of them are extremely dangerous, and if you are not careful, they could kill you.

1)Ride a bull at Lyle Sankey’s Rodeo School

While their disclaimer states that they’ll match the livestock with the student’s age/ability, it also notes: “We are not dealing with trained animals and cannot make you an athlete or change your physical condition or your mental state in only a three- or four-day training session.” That said, these dudes will let anybody mount a live bull.

2) Bike down Death Road

North Yungas Road, also known as “Death Road,” is a 35mi stretch between La Paz and Coroico, Bolivia, that’s weirdly popular with tourists, despite the fact that 200 to 300 of them die annually biking/driving down its hairpin turns.

3)Do the Death Drop

Called the Death Drop, the world’s first gorge swing plunges riders into a 160ft free fall at 111mph before catching them inches away from what must feel like certain death.

4) Cage-dive in Shark Alley

Nicknamed ‘Shark Alley’ for a reason (it’s a favorite hunting ground for great whites), this small fishing town is a prime cage-diving destination. Think that metal cage is gonna protect you, though? This video of a shark crashing into the cage might make you think again.

5) Skydive off Mt. Everest

Billed as the “World’s Most Elite Skydiving Adventure,” the experience involves hurling yourself out of a helicopter from the planet’s highest drop zone (29,500ft) while waving to the folks climbing up the mountain.
