"Ladies and gentlemen, please fasten your seat belt. We are about to land in a moment..." Well, you might think that you have reached your destination. But not necessarily the end of the journey. In fact, when you hop around places for business or leisure, there are plenty of reasons to worry about. Your stay being one of the main reasons. The moment you step out from an airport, the same reason always bothers you with never-ending questions. Where to stay? Where is it located? What is the price? After all, the entire experience of your trip counts on how good or bad your stay was. However, it doesn't mean that you have no clue of what you are up to or where you are heading. But it's about how precise you are in planning.
As this world is an amalgamation of various caste, culture, and creed… leading to many ways of life, you are bound to see different things the moment you land in a different territory. Of course, it is the reason that makes your journey always interesting - meeting new people, seeing new places, learning new culture, experiencing new cuisine, etc… Interesting, but definitely not at the cost of your comfort. Because you too have your own definition of life. And, what can be better than seeing the different colours of life, at your own comfort.

Check where you will get the cuisine of your choice. But always try new cuisine (local), it might turn out to be quite an experience for your taste buds.

But since you'll have very less time, it's always better to know where to shop or to go for some entertainment. And if you are on vacation, just stretch yourself and don't rush, take your own time. But you should be aware of what is special or unique that you can take home. Don't make the mistake of buying something that has been exported from your own country.
