Place: Ixtapa, Guerrero, México
Why would you suggest someone to go there?
 This is a place where I worked for a year at a hotel as a concierge. It is located at the south-east of México. Normally people who go there are retired couples or families from  the nearest states. It is a very calm place with very nice and clean beaches. You can get into the ocean with no problem, because the tides are very calm and the water is warm. Always with a weather, around 26°C - 35°C daily. A few restaurants to hang around, eat something delicious while watching the amazing sunsets. Not a kid´s place, though, but maybe a fun family vacation station! If you´re able to visit, don´t forget to take the bicycle ride on the highway, simply the best!]]> 2021-04-20 15:37:02 UTC https://padlet.com/swilkins12/udemtasistourism/wish/1438497946 Ximena C. cynthiacoello https://padlet.com/swilkins12/udemtasistourism/wish/1443098481 Place: San Carlos, Sonora, Mexico
Why would you suggest someone to go there?
I have never been to this place but I have heard that it is really pretty. The beach is beautiful and not a lot of tourists go there. You can do a million things over there, like: going to the beach, walking in the mountains, scuba diving, kayaking, ride horses, swim with dolphins, fishing, go yatching, etc. And the food, I mean what can I say. Ive heard that its really good and that people are very nice. The weather is hot, almost every day, except when it rains it becomes a little, almost nothing more fresh. A  restaurant that can be visited is the Turquesa Restaurant, it has view to the ocean and it looks nice. ]]> 2021-04-21 15:29:17 UTC https://padlet.com/swilkins12/udemtasistourism/wish/1443098481 Valeria Garza valeriagarzam https://padlet.com/swilkins12/udemtasistourism/wish/1443100427 Place: Guanajuato
Why would you suggest someone go there?
Well this place is actually really nice and is full of colonial architecture. There are many places to visit like El Teatro Juarez, that is a theater really famous because it has many details and beautiful colors on the inside. Also there is this really cool museum full of natural mummies. This museum is full of history where you can see a 100 of them exhibit. Also the tour they give there makes this experience more exciting.Finally the best place in Guanajuato for me is El Callejón del Beso. This place is a really tight street but it contains a romantic legend. The legend said that there were 2 lovers with a forbidden love that sneak into the ally to see each other. One day, the girls father discover them and kill his daughter. Her lover was extremly sad that he comitted suicide. The legend said that if you kiss your partner in the same alley  it will bring you 15 years of pure love and joy. Guanajuato is full of history and beautiful places. That's why I recommend you to go.

Place: Holbox, Quintana Roo, Mx.
Why would you suggest someone to go there?
I have already been there before, and I can say that it is a very beautiful and unusual island, with beautiful beaches, in some parts the water is so crystal clear that you can see the bottom of the sea and some fish. It is a good place to  vacation and relax with your family or friends. You can do many things such as: go out to party, eat in a nice place, go to the beach, scuba diving and many more things.

Which is the specific attraction/restaurant that can't be missed?
One of the  attractions that you cannot miss is the beach and the restaurants that are close by. The whole island is different from what people are used to since it is very small yet very beautiful. You move around in golf carts or walking because most things are not far away.

Place: Monterrey, San Pedro, Mexico

Here in the city of Monterrey where I live there is a municipality called San Pedro Garza Garcia that is very cool the place there are many things you can do there such as going to a shopping center with your family, going to the alpha planetarium which is a museum of science in case you like that topic and there are also very large spaces where you can go for a walk, run or even ride a bicycle. What I would like you to visit and do not miss the opportunity to go when you come to Monterrey and go to San Pedro is Metropolitan Center which is a square where you can find too many restaurants that are very rich and you will be able to enjoy a good family time and also that go to Calzada in the mornings as they close the streets early so you can run and bike and exercise and you are with a nice view. In addition to the fact that inside the shopping centers you will be able to find things to have fun such as cinemas, bowling, shops, virtual golf and even virtual baseball.

Place: Cancun, Mx
Well I like this place because the amazing he  beaches, great weather, and amazingly clear and clean waters. But Cancun has much more to offer than just this. No matter what you come here to enjoy, or how long you will stay, there are plenty of reasons to visit Cancun.Like for example the park that is called Xplor is one of my favorites where you can enjoy of many attractions  like the zip lines, the mini go karts and the different food courts that this park has. ]]> 2021-04-21 15:29:58 UTC https://padlet.com/swilkins12/udemtasistourism/wish/1443102092 Tadeo Galarza jesus_galarza https://padlet.com/swilkins12/udemtasistourism/wish/1443102803 Tourism

Place:  Cañon del sumidero, Chiapas
This a place that is one of the most atractive places in Mexico, that is not a beach. I went once to the cañon del sumidero and it is really nice and surprising. Because for watching all the natural landscape you need to take some tours by walking in the jungle or in a boat in the river. The entire experience of watching the scenary and the storys that tell you the people that make the tours is what you need do there.]]> 2021-04-21 15:30:12 UTC https://padlet.com/swilkins12/udemtasistourism/wish/1443103288 Gretta Villafuerte grettavillafuerte https://padlet.com/swilkins12/udemtasistourism/wish/1443103913 Tourism

Chichen Itza is located in Yucatán first of all you can see here the arkeological zones that have pyramids and natural wells where you can go to swim, and also you can visit some ancient runes and caves, and I think it´s a great place if you want a relaxed trip or something new that you can´t find in other country, the best attraction I think it is the pyramids because you cant find them in any other place and also the experience is really nice

Place: Zacatecas, Zacatecas

Tequila is known for giving its name to the alcoholic drink called tequila, as it is one of the territories where it is produced.

I am Swiss and Turkish, and I decided to recommend going to Istanbul as its one of the world's most vibrant cities. When you go there you can try all the traditional Turkish food like kebabs and baklava,. When you are there, I would also suggest visiting the Blue Mosque and the Grand Bazaar where you can get lost in the various streets and stores of the unique location. A restaurant I would suggest to go to in Istanbul is called Zooma, where you can get an authentic Turkish cuisine by the Bosporus.

Singapore is a really amazing and modern country. It is known for being a fusion of cultures along with its diverse population. The top 4 languages spoken in Singapore are English, Mandarin, Malay, and Tamil. Many people know Singapore because of its law which makes chewing gum illegal. This is because the government in Singapore takes litter very seriously, meaning that the city is very clean! Singapore is also known for its amazing architecture, for example, Marina Bay Sands, the Super Trees, and its botanical gardens. The Singapore Zoo is also very famous for being one of the best in the world. Walking through the zoo feels like you are exploring the jungle, and it is home to many impressive animals such as Giant Pandas. 

I recommend you try one of Singapore's favorite chain restaurants. It is called Din Tai Fung. This restaurant is famous for its 小笼包(xiao long bao), also known as soup dumplings. Din Tai Fung is a Taiwanese chain, but it is very famous in Singapore. ]]> 2021-04-22 12:07:37 UTC https://padlet.com/swilkins12/udemtasistourism/wish/1446783307 Ben Ashton benjasht2 https://padlet.com/swilkins12/udemtasistourism/wish/1446786261 Place: Bath, England
I suggest the town of Bath, which a very nice British town which has been a spa town since the Roman invasion of Britain. The town is made out of a local stone. This gives the town a beautiful and unique look. One of the main attractiosn is the Roman Baths which have been there for almost 2,000 years and they have been used the whole time!  The food in Bath is also very good with my personal  favorite is the Olive Tree it is the only Michelin star restaurant in the town. The food is a tasting menu which changes weekly.   ]]> 2021-04-22 12:08:37 UTC https://padlet.com/swilkins12/udemtasistourism/wish/1446786261 Julia Brown https://padlet.com/swilkins12/udemtasistourism/wish/1446796201 Place: Guildford, England
Guildford is a town in Southern England. It is most known for its historic buildings and cobblestone road. It has many shops and places to eat. There is also a leisure centre, Guildford Castle, gallery and Guildford Cathedral. There is a place called G Live where you can watch shows. It is small enough so that you can easily navigate around but there is still a lot of things you can do. On the first Tuesday of every month there is a farmers' Market that takes place in Guildford's high street. On every Friday and Saturday there are over 20 stalls on the North Street Market selling a variety of goods. You can also go on tours and learn about Guildford's historic past. There is even escape rooms to do with your friends and have a lot of laughs.
Guildford is closer to where I live than London so I have always preferred to go to Guildford. I also like the quaint surroundings where there are multiple small shops and cafes hidden from the main street.
I would suggest you go to a restaurant called Olivo. It is an Italian restaurant and the food is delicious. I love eating many their pasta dishes so I cannot decide on a favourite dish. The restaurant's interior is from the 14th century which gives the look of an old English style house. Its charming appearance makes it unique from other restaurants.]]> 2021-04-22 12:11:56 UTC https://padlet.com/swilkins12/udemtasistourism/wish/1446796201 Rebecca Tate rebetate2 https://padlet.com/swilkins12/udemtasistourism/wish/1446797300 Place: Pécs, Hungary 
Pécs is an ancient city in Hungary with beautiful architecture, lots of culture, and a lot of shops and places to explore. The most famous landmarks are the Early Christian Mausoleum, the Pécs Cathedral, and Mosque of Pasha.

Taipei is the capital of Taiwan. Taipei is the political, economic, educational and cultural center of Taiwan and is part of a major high-tech industrial area. Taipei is home to various world-famous architectural or cultural landmarks, which include Taipei 101, Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, National Palace Museum, and more! Taipei 101, especially, is a 101-floor landmark skyscraper (509 m) that was once the world's tallest building. 
Another thing that you can't miss is the food!! Taipei, has about 20 streets dedicated to food. Taiwanese food is a mash-up of Chinese communities, along with Japanese cooking techniques. One of the most famous food you may be familiar is BUBBLE TEA (aka Boba) :) Bubble tea represents the chewy food texture that Taiwanese love, like the tapioca balls that form the "bubbles" in bubble tea. It's said this unusual drink was invented out of boredom. In Taiwan, bubble tea has become more than a beverage, but a permanent icon of the culture and food history for the nation. April 30 is National Bubble Tea Day in Taiwan. Bubble tea has become synonymous with Taiwan and is an important symbol of Taiwanese identity, domestically and internationally.]]> 2021-04-22 12:15:00 UTC https://padlet.com/swilkins12/udemtasistourism/wish/1446806331 George Whittaker Curry georwhit2 https://padlet.com/swilkins12/udemtasistourism/wish/1446972214 Place: Zurich, Switzerland
Zurich is the place to be in Switzerland. There is so much to do, in such a small place. You can see the alps from the city centre, and you can also swim in the bright blue warm lake. People come from around the world, just to visit the Lindt chocolate factory. You can visit the factory, where they make their chocolate. They have this huge fountain, where you can taste the chocolate. I definitely suggest the visit. ]]> 2021-04-22 12:56:51 UTC https://padlet.com/swilkins12/udemtasistourism/wish/1446972214 Shivani Potdar shivpotd2 https://padlet.com/swilkins12/udemtasistourism/wish/1447144621 Place: Agra, India
Agra is good for all people who have different interests, because there is a lot of culture, history, architecture, and great food in the city. Agra has one of the seven wonders of the world: The Taj Mahal. This palace is famous because it's made entirely of white marble. Another place to visit is the Agra Fort, you can take a history tour there and there is also the Sheesh Mahal inside the Fort. In the dark with just one lamp, the mirrors all around the Sheesh Mahal reflect the light in a stunning way. Agra is also very near to New Delhi, the capital of India. New Delhi also has many interesting places to visit, like the India Gate, and Qutub Minar. 
In terms of restaurants, street food in Agra is the best. The most famous dish in Agra is called petha, a food made from white pumpkin and comes in many varieties. A good place to get petha is called "Panchhi Petha". "Devi Ram Sweets" is good for bedai and jalebi (a breakfast dish), and then "Rambabu Parathe Wale" is good for parathas (can be for main meals lunch or dinner). ]]> 2021-04-22 13:29:42 UTC https://padlet.com/swilkins12/udemtasistourism/wish/1447144621 Jessica Lomax jessloma2 https://padlet.com/swilkins12/udemtasistourism/wish/1447159590 Place: Reykjavík, Iceland
Reykjavík is the capital city of Iceland, and it is a beautiful city with a town feel with the main shopping street set on a hill. During the winter there is daylight for about 5 hours, and the lighting is absolutely beautiful during this time. I would recommend taking a tour around the coast of Iceland where the scenery is incredible with beautiful glaciers and waterfalls. You can also see the Northern Lights during the winter time as Iceland is close enough to the Arctic Circle to see these. In the city there are many museums (like a Northern Lights museum and history museums) and there is an iconic boat on the edge of the city by the sea. The food is also incredible with different types of food ranging from a crepe place to Vietnamese food and Spanish tapas places that serve puffin and whale to eat.]]> 2021-04-22 13:32:27 UTC https://padlet.com/swilkins12/udemtasistourism/wish/1447159590 Esther Fahel https://padlet.com/swilkins12/udemtasistourism/wish/1447186686 Place: Austin, Texas
Austin is the capital city of Texas. The city is very hipster and young so it is a fun place to visit. There is a street called "South Congress Street" that is a nationally known place with eclectic small retailers, restaurants, music and art venues and food trucks. There is also a place called Barton Springs, which is a natural hot spring to go swimming in a nature environment. Austin also has a bridge that is very famous for bats that live under the bridge (Congress Avenue Bridge). At sunset, the bats all leave the bridge and fly in flocks, so you can get a boat and watch the sunset and 1000s of bats. I highly recommend visiting Austin. Below is a picture of the bats flying out from under the bridge.

Rio is one of my favorite cities in Brazil.  It is probably the most known city in Brazil, even though it is not the capital. There is so much to do in this beautiful and amazing city. You can go to the beaches, shopping, restaurants, visit the historical museums, go hiking on the huge stones, do a tour on the botanical garden and visit the Christ the Redeemer. The best time of the year to come to Rio is during Carnaval (especially if you like parties). People come from around the world just to see the carnival parades and go party on the streets. If you come to Brazil one day, you should definitely go to Rio de Janeiro. My favorite restaurant in Rio is called Rubaiyat. It is located next to the botanical garden and inside the Jockey Club, with an amazing view to the beach and to the Christ. You can eat delicious Brazilian meat while watching a jockey race. The meat there is one of the best I've ever eaten, and the dessert is also really good. ]]> 2021-04-22 13:37:28 UTC https://padlet.com/swilkins12/udemtasistourism/wish/1447187975 Brandon Brittain https://padlet.com/swilkins12/udemtasistourism/wish/1447230493 Hands down greatest city in the world HAS to be by home town of Memphis, Tennessee. Sure we have a stupid high crime rate. Sure we also have a major racism problem in the heart of our community. But at least we have a pretty diverse community which is a start. Start your tour at Memphis International Airport, home of the Fedex Global Hub. If you have ever sent a package through Fedex, it's been to Memphis for sorting and distribution. A short drive from the airport will place you in Downtown Memphis. There you will find the best Pork BBQ in the world at "Rendevous." After that another short drive will take you to the World's largest pyramid outside of Egypt that also houses the worlds largest Bass Pro Shop. At Bass Prop, you can source everything from boats, ATVs, Camouflage, and even the largest stockpile of guns and ammunition in the state. Oh, and fishing equipment but no one actually goes there for that. After Bass Pro, take another drive to the Fedex Forum, where you can see our home NBA team "The Memphis Grizzles" as they lose to every team in America. After wiping the tears of defeat from you face, travel to AutoZone Park to witness the best AAA baseball team: "The Memphis Redbirds." Go Redbirds! Once you finished with that, drive to the Lorraine Motel. The motel was the site of the assassination of Martin Luther King Junior but today it's home to the National Civil Rights Museum. Take a tour through America's darkest civil turmoils that began during the Civil War and continues to this day. Reflect on the Movement's power during the 60s and what we are doing today to finish what they started. All in all, Memphis truly is a capital of culture on the Mississippi with so much to offer that I can't fit it all on one thing like this. I recommend looking it up. Just don't search Memphis and then check the news, it will make you sad. :) ]]> 2021-04-22 13:44:53 UTC https://padlet.com/swilkins12/udemtasistourism/wish/1447230493 Felicia Melin regimeli1 https://padlet.com/swilkins12/udemtasistourism/wish/1447236363 Place: Gamla Stan (Old Town), Stockholm, Sweden
Stockholm is the capital city of Sweden. The Old Town is a small island in the middle of the city, and is one of the largest preserved medieval city centers in Europe.  The town was founded in 1252 and has many old buildings and streets. It is also home to the Royal Palace, which is not only the official home of King Carl XVI Gustaf, but also a museum. There are many beautiful buildings to see as you walk around the town. It is truly a sight to behold.
Food: In terms of food in Sweden, we are probably most known for our meatballs, although you can eat these at any IKEA around the world. One famous thing you need to try is fika. Fika is a time for coffee and a sweet thing, usually a bun or a cookie. It's very normal for people to come over to your house for some fika, as we Swedes love our coffee and our kanelbullar (cinnamon buns). ]]> 2021-04-22 13:45:50 UTC https://padlet.com/swilkins12/udemtasistourism/wish/1447236363 Jessica Umahi jessumah2 https://padlet.com/swilkins12/udemtasistourism/wish/1447246865 Tourism
Place: Yankari National Park, Nigeria

It is a wildlife park located in Bauchi state, in Nigeria. I have not been there yet but I would love to go some day. I think it is really pretty and you can do lots of things there. You can visit the Wikki Warm Springs (shown in the picture below), where you would be able to observe wildlife in its natural habitat. You can also swim in it, if you love swimming. The water from the springs is so pure that it is actually bottled and sold. Another thing you can do is to visit the Marshall caves. The caves have rock paintings and engravings in them, which are said to have been created by the first inhabitants. You can also visit the wildlife museum and hike the Kalban Hill, from the top of which one can get a clear view of the whole park. The park also has rooms that you can stay in overnight, if that is how you are feeling. If you love animals and you want to visit Nigeria, I think this is a good place to tour. ]]> 2021-04-22 13:47:46 UTC https://padlet.com/swilkins12/udemtasistourism/wish/1447246865 Sishir B sishbhim2 https://padlet.com/swilkins12/udemtasistourism/wish/1447248048 Place: Bangalore, India 
Bangalore is known as the IT center of India and is a huge city and is densely populated and has tons of offiices and IT parks everywhere. It also has monuments and palaces from back in the 19th century called Bangalore Palace which was inspired by the Windsor Castle (quite near us at TASIS!) in the 19th century. There is also Tipu Sultan's Summer Palace (a major ruler in the Mughal Empire), which is huge and magnificent with all kinds of old art styles and construction material. There is also a botanical garden called Lalbagh Botanical Garden which is a huge place filled with lots of varieties of trees and plants and it also hold huge events in a massive hall inside it. (pictured below)I I used to go to chess tournaments frequently held there. Cubbon Park is a huge park near the city center and it has a massive golf course as well as long roads where people usually go for long strolls or running, especially in the morning. ]]> 2021-04-22 13:47:59 UTC https://padlet.com/swilkins12/udemtasistourism/wish/1447248048 Greg Perkins gregperk2 https://padlet.com/swilkins12/udemtasistourism/wish/1447330388 Place: Tai Long Wan, Hong Kong
Hong Kong is known as one of the busiest and most densely packed cities in Asia, however a very secret beach is just around the corner from the centre of the city. To get to this beach you have to hike for approximately 3 hours around mountains as there are no roads or transport to the beach. There are literally no tourists in this location as it is hard to travel there. You can camp overnight, surf, paddle board and cliff jump. ]]> 2021-04-22 14:03:01 UTC https://padlet.com/swilkins12/udemtasistourism/wish/1447330388 Ivan Gomez ivangome1 https://padlet.com/swilkins12/udemtasistourism/wish/1455157391 Place: Isla Margarita, Venezuela

Margarita Island is a Venezuelan island located in the Caribbean known for clear water and mangroves. I spent a lot of time there as a kid when outside of the city of Caracas. Fishing and driving boats in the mangroves were activities I did often. Many people go there to surf and kite surf. Tubing is also a very popular activity. At night many people have campfires on the beach and there are many clubs and a good nightlife. The majority of the people on the island are locals but there used to be many tourists. It is cheap and a fun place to be. It is an 8 hour flight from Monterrey.

Restaurant: Las Arepas de Los Hermanos Moya

Food truck serving local Venezuelan and Caribbean cuisine. Food like arepas, coconut drinks, lobster, ceviche, and chicken.]]> 2021-04-24 20:26:37 UTC https://padlet.com/swilkins12/udemtasistourism/wish/1455157391 Marek Sattler maresatt2 https://padlet.com/swilkins12/udemtasistourism/wish/1456444447 Place - Prague - Charles Bridge

Charles bridge was built in 1402, so it is a pretty old structure, but it is holding on pretty well. It has been built in the centre of Prague during the reign of The King Charles the IV. He has been a very successful king and that's why there is many structures named after him. I have been there multiple times during my life and it is spectacular. There is so many little details and you can look at it for such a long time and still find new details and things. There is a rumour that bread and eggs have been added to the cement mixture and that's why it survived so many floods and catastrophes. No one is sure but i believe it. 



Restaurant - Restaurant Mlýnec. 

They cook amazing food there - typical Czech. ]]> 2021-04-25 15:31:03 UTC https://padlet.com/swilkins12/udemtasistourism/wish/1456444447 Rebecca Tate rebetate2 https://padlet.com/swilkins12/udemtasistourism/wish/1458088844 Place: Pécs, Hungary 

Pécs is a beautiful cultural city in southern Hungary close to the Croatian border. It has a really diverse culture and beautiful architecture from all over Europe. It's known for it's Cathedral and Early Christian Mausoleum and is a great place to go if you are interested in history. The city itself is also very vibrant and has a lot of galleries and shops which are interesting things to see and do. I would recommend going to the 
Csontváry Museum which is dedicated to the Hungarian artist Kosztka Csontváry and has a lot of beautiful work. A lot of the cafes and restaurants there are really good places to eat and offer traditional Hungarian food. I would recommend trying Gulyás which is a famous Hungarian meat stew.
