After reading the article “36 Hours In Rio Janeiro” I will like to visit there in the future because once you step a foot in there is like you’re in some different world. The first thing I will do when I get there is go see the big statue of Jesus the redeemer and climb all the way to the top. From there I will enjoy the beautiful view of the city and the beach. After that I will go to the beach and play soccer in the sand or go surfboarding in Itacoatria that is another Rio Janeiro. What I like about Rio Janeiro is the community, everybody is socializing people. In a half an hour you’ve already made a friend and then two hours later you end up in their house. I will also like to eat dinner in “Taberna Do Darwin” restaurant because in the middle of the woods who can say that there’s a neat place in the woods. There’s this other restaurant more like a romantic place to eat with your love one call “Resturante Tereze” you can also enjoy the view of the city. Something that dropped my jaw was the ice cream shop call “Vero” in there the all the ice creams are Italian style but with Brazilian ingredients. It looks so delicious making me want taste all of them. I like to dance and there is this club call “La Paz” there’s two floors inside. The crazy part is that the first floors might play all electronic music and downstairs may play some reggae music. All things about Rio Janeiro is making want to go there in the future with my friends.

Reading the 36 hours in Istanbul article convinced me to go due to various aspects of the city that you wouldn’t normally find anywhere else. Services from simple tourist guides to waiters seemed professional and enthusiastic about their job.what truly interested me was the seafood cuisine and the various multicultural diverse cuisine that you can find all over the city. The final reason why I was convinced was due to the shore front restaurants with both a beautiful and relaxing view and also delicious looking food.

After reading 36 hours in Istanbul, I found it really interesting, I’ve really never heard about this place up until now, It has a great atmosphere of tourism a lot of several restaurants that have different types of entertainments. They also have a lot of meaning to it, some of the buildings been there for years and it brings warmth to the people. For example the Beylerbeyi Palace which is in the reign of Sultan Abdul Aziz which was built in 1863. I personally like places with history it makes it so much interesting to learn about it. The community is modern and up coming but one thing that won’t change is the effect that these places mean to people. I would love to go to Istanbul and explore it more and there different type of cuisines like in Tapasura where they have there own mix of presenting there fishes. Lastly I would like to visit 360 east where you can see the whole skyline. How beautiful would that be.

Reading 36 Hours in Istanbul makes me want to visit that city! Just off of the pictures of how beautiful it is. And the restaurants it describes such as the Far Pavilions seem like the type of place for me! I would love to be a customer at the Ottoman coffee houses (being the coffee enthusiast that i am), and enjoy thick turkish coffee and cakes that i may have never experienced before. The whole scene of Istanbul and thought of being there, and sitting in the Opera houses enjoying Istanbul’s finest theatre entertainment gives me chills. I really want to visit this gorgeous city one day.

Watching and reading ” 36 hours in Istanbul” made me want to visit there in the future. They mention two restaurants that catch my attention. One of them is Kuzguncuk Balikcisi restaurant, in there they would serve you fresh fish like legit it just came out from the sea because the owner of the restaurant believes that is the most fresh fish and beautiful fish the visitor can get. The second restaurant that i would like to visit is  Tapasuma restaurant because is right next to the water and it has a beautiful view of the city. Another thing that catch my attention was bar hop which students go out and spend their nights having fun.
