One of my favorite places that I would really like to go is Los Angeles. Why? Because, in Los Angeles they have the famous Hollywood Walk of Fame! If you are a foreigners from other country, I suggested you guys to go Hollywood. A lot of people said that, the prices there is very expensive but hey it is once a lifetime and you might not going to have this chances anymore.

Well, Los Angeles is very famous because of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. What is Hollywood Walk of Fame actually? Good question, Hollywood Walk of Fame is actually a signature to the famous people or celebrities, such as Taylor Swift, Demi Lovato, Marilyn Monroe and etc.

The stars are permanent public monuments to achievement in the entertainment industry, bearing the names of mix actors, musicians, directors, producers, musical and theatrical groups, fictional characters and others. For an example, they even had Mickey Mouse Walk of Fame! This is because Mickey Mouse was one of the most iconic character among Disney character and also the first one that Mr Disney has ever created back in those days.

As a person who really loves and passionate about music, I put myself in that position where one day I would continue my Diploma there. Well, it sounded ridiculous isn't it? Well, I can dream right? Even though it is somehow impossible to achieve it.

In Juilliard School, they offered you three courses which is Dance, Music and Drama.

Music Division

Alright, enough with the Sakura bloom spring-moment-time. When we say about Japan, we know that they have Disneyland and Tokyo Disney Sea. The reason why I chose Japan it is because it is suitable for young children that have wild dreams and it is not only focus on children but also adults. WHY? Because adults once too experienced their childhood moments when they were young.

Welcome to India

Hello everyone. Like I promised before in my first post that I said I will post a lot about the 15 wishlist places that you must visit. Well, the first place that I have chosen is, India but yes people the main focus is Taj Mahal and Wonderland Theme Park in India. I will give you a slightly details about India's famous attraction which is Taj Mahal.

Standing majestically on the banks of River Yamuna, the Taj Mahal is synonymous to love and romance. The name "Taj Mahal" was derived from the name of Shah Jahan's wife, Mumtaz Mahal, and means "Crown Palace". The purity of the white marble, the exquisite ornamentation, precious gemstones used and its picturesque location, all make a visit to the Taj Mahal gain a place amongst the most sought-after tours in the world. However, until you know the love story behind the construction of the Taj Mahal, the beauty of the same would not enliven in your heart and mind and instead would come up as just another beautiful building/monument. It is the love behind this outstanding monument that has given a life to this monument. Come and explore the visceral charisma that it emanates

At the brink of dawn when the first rays of the sun hits the dome of this epic monument, it radiates like a heavenly abode, cloaked in bright golden. And then at dusk, basking in the glory of moon, it shines like a perfectly carved diamond; appearing as if straight owwut of some magical tale, leaving the viewers awestruck by its sense of grandeur. Nothing short of an architectural marvel, no wonder it stands proud at being one of the Seven Wonders of the World. And the rich beauty of this visual spectacle turns visceral when one hears the story behind it. The story of Taj Mahal!

Taj Mahal, "the epitome of love", is "a monument of immeasurable beauty". The beauty of this magnificent monument is such that it is beyond the scope of words. The thoughts that come into the mind while watching the Taj Mahal of Agra is not just its phenomenal beauty, but the immense love which was the reason behind its construction. Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan got this monument constructed in the memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal, with whom he fell in love at the first sight. Ironically, the very first sight of the Taj Mahal, the epitome of love and romance, also leaves visitors mesmerized and perpetually enthralled.
