Murmansk, the Forbidden City

Wednesday, December 15th, 2010

City “Murmansk” built an age of Tsarist Russian empire was inaugurated on 4 October 1916. Murmansk name is taken from the word murmans term for those Russian Scandinavian descents. City “Murmansk” located in Kola Bay / Kola Peninsula, 12 km from the Barents Sea. The city is located not far from the North Pole and near the state border between Russia and Norway also Finland. Murmansk is a city in Russia the cold arctic region where the lowest temperature can reach minus 40s. Cold season Murmansk city will often have 24 hours in darkness, in summer the city will often enjoy 24 hours of bright sunshine.

City “Murmansk” is very beautiful especially in the summer because it has so many beautiful lakes and forests and their flora and fauna that are found only in the area-typical arctic regions. The main income population about 300 000 people is a fisherman because of its territory despite the cold super warm ocean currents flowing north Atlantic drift ocean currents so that the water is not frozen passable ships.

City “Murmansk” in the days of the Soviet Union is the city limits to foreigners because it is one of the Russian naval bases and is home to “Atomflot”; an ice crusher nuclear ship. Even now, it is banned indiscriminate shooting anyone, especially a photograph around its harbor and a few other places; this can make you have to deal with the military.

Bibliotheca Alexandrina

Wednesday, December 8th, 2010

Exploring along the coast past the Stanley bridge, al-Saraya, and finally stopped in the area before el-Mansyiah, precisely in front of three white pillar that is almost like a toothpick (the word some friends). Wonderful building stands firmly in front of us: Bibliotheca Alexandrina. I say wonderful building because the architecture of the building is worthy of thumbs up.

We do not simply buy a ticket and enter, but fell down the stairs near the ball-shaped building. .. if we just knew that ball was a planetarium, because the plan today is not to the planetarium, then we pass it and directly browse the existing road next. (more…)

Sunday, December 5th, 2010

This city of Istanbul is unique, standing on two continental plates, the continent of Asia and Continental Europe, separated by the Bosphorus Strait. Two continental plates are connected by a long and majestic bridges, namely the Bosphorus Bridge. This city has a rich history of many centuries ago, among others, the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Yerebatan Sarnici, Topkapi Palace, Dolmabahce Palace, Misir Carsisi and Kapali Carsi.

Transport in the city is very adequate. We can go to various tourist sites only armed with a map. Because style style minimalist backpacker with the money (hehehe J), here I always use public transport such as trams (Turkish: tramvay), metro, and the subway (underground train). There is also a large green bus that reads IETT, but I’ve never tried it. Naik tramvay also been quite comfortable and fast. (more…)
