Stockholm, Sweden is a very brilliant city and has many different places to visit. But first, let's learn more about Sweden. The official language is Swedish, but there are places where English is spoken. The currency is the Swedish krona or SEK. If you visit a person's house do not put your shoes on before going outside, it says that you want to leave. If visiting Sweden in the winter you will want to attend a Santa Lucia act. On December 13 it is the darkest time in Sweden so Swedish girls were candles on their head in a crown and sing songs of Christianity. The origin of this is from the 13th century where a girl had her eyes gouged out. She is the symbol of light. If visiting in July go to the countryside up north for Midsummers Festival. This is a celebration of great food and an assortment of culture.
Lapland, Sweden is a province in the northern part of Sweden and is most famous for the northern lights that occur. This province is the same as all of Sweden, they speak Swedish use the SEK and live in igloos. Haha joke. But in Lapland they have an ice hotel. In the winter the people associated with the hotel build it out of ice and LED colored lights. They sleep on a bed with reindeer hide blankets. It is a popular tourist attraction drawing money into the local economy. There is not a lot in Lapland, but the area in winter is brilliant.

Berlin, Germany is just like Paris minus the Eiffel Tower and other large details. There is still lots to do in Germany and a lot to see. There are war sights and parts of the Berlin Wall. Some simple facts about Germany. They use the Euro and speak mainly German. And what is Germany without Frankfurts. Berlin is a great place and has lots of cafes and different shops.
Another tradition in Germany is what Germany is known for...beer. Oktoberfest is an month filled with different assortment of beverages all of which contain alcohol, so of course children about age 16 are not permitted in Oktoberfest till age 18. But children of all ages are welcome because they also have rides for kids to ride, games, animals and clowns.

The Norwegian coast has a beautiful area to visit. They are called fjords and are stunning. The fjords are located on the western coast and were formed millions of years ago when glaciers cut through the area creating lakes, rivers and the fjords. Fjords are mountainous and steep, though some are not as steep, but they are still beautiful. Norway has its fair share of urban cities and pristine wilderness.

In Oslo, the capital of Norway there is a museum dedicated to the life of the Vikings. The Vikings ruled parts of Scandinavia in the early 700's through the 1060's. They were ruthless and are pictured in horned helmets, Vikings did not wear horned-helmets as thought. The game, The Elders Scrolls V: Skyrim. The series made the image popular again and researchers had to tell people it wasn't true. Vikings did discover North America about 400 years ago, some even made it to the US. So move over Christoper Columbus, Swedish and Norwegian Vikings found it first!

The most famous site in Zambia is Victoria Falls, or Devils Falls. This waterfall that plummets into a rift in The Great Rift Valley is quite a site in a plane. And for the dare devils out there (no pun intended) you can hang off Devils Falls on the falls themselves.
The Southern Cross is quite a sight. This is the best area where the spiral arm of the Milky Way galaxy is best seen. Very beautiful and secluded, you can see so much and is just awe inspiriting. I personally want to visit this place sometime soon.

No, the image to your left is not of silk rolling, but is in fact Sahara dunes. This is the most user friendly area of the entire Sahara. Located in Morocco it is not only an amazing sight, but offers much to do. You can jog the dunes, go dune buggy riding and just admire. This is one of the best places to visit.
The Saadian Tomb is quite a beautiful sight. The tombs were built in the late 1500's to early 1600's. Discovered in 1917 it was restored and now is a very detailed and beautiful place to visit. There are no body's in the tomb, but they were stored in the tomb, that is what the triangular long things are. If detail and beauty is what you like, then this what you'd like to do.

Russia's Red Square is what you see in many movies. The castle with brightly colored tops is in Red Square and really seems to be more of a decoration standpoint. This iconic area with lots of history is not only near Moscow, the capital, but is just real close to more areas to visit. Vladimir Lenins body is in a building in Red Square. And you can most likely guess why it's called Red Square, I mean communism is what Russia was and that's why Lenin is there. Make the connection?
Take a quick trip to Saint Petersburg to see the Winter Palace. This amazing area and place is so rich in architect.

Shanghai is a beautiful city. It offers some remarkable buildings and landscape. The Shanghai Tower is a radio tower that has viewing points inside. Culturally, this place is spot on. You can do tai-chi in the morning and then travel the city at day and do the exciting nightlife at night. The only problem it has is pollution. Spend maybe two days at most.
Beijing is China's capital and a spectacular one. The buildings and landscape, like Shanghai are amazing. There is so much to do and see. Anything from the urban cities to the rural Great Wall. Again, this city struggles with pollution and theft, but it it so much more.

In Japan, Tokyo is an amazing city to visit. There is so much to do in Tokyo and of course there is culture galore. Whether it be squid to ferry rides to the city life, Tokyo is the city that has it all. Not only is this city diverse, but is a perfect place to take pictures. The city at night is perfect and in spring the cherry blossoms are mint.
If you want a different pace of life of Tokyo, then you must visit Kamakura, Japan. This is a remote area with the kicker. The Great Buhhda statue is the second largest bronze statue in Japan. The area is beautiful in spring (along with most every part of Japan) and is just a wonderful area.http://travel-

When visiting India, there isn't anything to do except visit the Taj Mahal. Well here is proof that there is so much more to see and do. This is Kashmir. The beautiful remote area in India is very popular and for good reason. The sheer area of this beautiful mountain range and plains with rivers and lakes looks like it comes out a story book. Very recommended by locals.
Goa may be the smallest state in India, but what it has makes up for it. The beautiful beaches of this small state.
