Author: 
The purpose of this tour is a Hindu Temple “Shree Mangesh” that is highly purified in Goa. Entering the temple courtyard, we had to walk about three hundred yards, slightly uphill road leading to the Temple. On left-right-way, many vendors are hawking for souvenirs ranging from T-shirts, key chains, and other trinkets. Among those souvenirs sellers even dare to chase the tourists.
Entrance to the temple, the smell of incense begins stinging, at the altar of the temple there is a kind of old trains, like in the movies Mahabharata with a rope knotted in front. Visitors who want to enter the Temple should take off their shoes. In the temple, there are old men with bare chest, just covered with white cloth on his shoulder, bringing offerings into the temple. There is a statue in it.
After nearly an hour at the Temple, and are happy to take pictures and buy some souvenirs entourage proceeded to the next destination, which is the oldest church in Goa Portuguese heritage. After traveling about half an hour, came the entourage to the old church complex called “BOM JESUS” legacy of S. Franciscus Xaverius, judging date was made in 1594M. That building is already over 400 years. Those tall buildings already look old, there are irons that support to strengthen the building is old. The building, not in the paint allowed mossy might let a natural look without polish.
Entrance into visible altar with statues and carvings, sculptures typical Christian. Inside the church there is also grave S. Franciscus Xavier who died in 1666M.

Metro Shenzhen, Guangdong, China
Shenzhen certainly not Sydney or other large cities which the people are already accustomed to using the automatic ticket machines. Queues occur because some people could not use the machine, although the instructions in Chinese and English characters seem so clear. Machines accept payment with a minimum amount of paper money 5 and maximum 20 Yuan. Besides the machine will not accept paper money 1 Yuan, how can the machine read a pile of money stuffed several sheets at once? Engine it can accept coins.
Actually a very simple way and each step there is an explanation in English for those who can not read Chinese characters. You select Metro stations your goal, then you select the number of `token ‘is required, money input and within a few seconds `token ‘and money return (if any) in the form of one Yuan coin can already taken. For the closest distance to pay 2 Yuan per ‘token’ and farthest distance for 5 Yuan per ‘token’. Relatively cheap, although not as cheap as the Metro in Russia. But this can not be compared because there are differences in quality. Read the rest of this entry »
