Summer sale is finally here! I am thinking of going for a shopping escapade but I just can't do it right now. Next month will be an expensive month for me because I will be touring Europe again. A friend from the United States is coming and wants to tour Europe with me also.

Let me just share this image taken when I went shopping at The Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. I am quite sure that some business owners here are offering the best franchise opportunities anywhere in the U.S. and maybe around the world also. I am trying to remember what did I bought in this hotel. That red small bag I am carrying contains something that I can't remember. The shopping that I had in Las Vegas last 2008 was so far the most expensive one that I ever did in my life. I hope to visit it again one day.

One of the famous free shows in Las Vegas is The Sirens of TI. It is a free nightly show provided by the Treasure Island Hotel in Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. The show focuses around a group of sensual and tempting Sirens engaging with a band of renegade pirates. The Sirens of TI show replaced the previous "Battle of Buccaneer Bay' show that was geared towards a younger audience.

Below is an image taken in front of TI hotel where this show usually takes place.

It is more than two years now since I visited Disneyland, California with my sister and relatives. That was a very memorable moment in my life especially seeing and experiencing it for the first time. We did not bring briefcases during our visit but packbags and sling bags. It is easier to carry. Here is the World of Disney shop taken during our visit last June 6, 2008. More images to come next time. Have a great weekend ahead!

World of Disney is a chain of specialty retail stores owned and operated by Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, a division of The Walt Disney Company.

Currently there are three locations. The first opened October 2, 1996 in the Marketplace area of Downtown Disney at Florida's Walt Disney World Resort. At approximately 51,000 square feet (4,700 m2) of retail space, it is said to offer the largest selection of Disney character merchandise in the world, according to the company. A 2006 renovation added a small princess-themed salon called Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, plus a new children's merchandise area inspired by Pirates of the Caribbean and Stitch. A second, slightly smaller version opened in 2001 in the Downtown Disney district of the Disneyland Resort in California. This is the one you see in the image here!

Do you know that Arc de Triomphe or Arch of Triumph in Paris, France has also a replica in Las Vegas, Nevada? It is located in front of Paris Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. It is about 2/3 size from the original.

Here is a picture of the Arc de Triomphe taken during my vacation in Las Vegas last 2008.

FIFA game in Africa is almost ending. The last game played between Spain and Netherlands just ended half an hour ago. Congratulations to Spain for winning the World Cup! Now let's go to
Texas Stadium to watch some shows. Actually it was not me who watch a show in this stadium but my sister.

Actually the picture I have here was taken in Las Vegas when we watched the Ringling Bros B&B Circus last June 2008. I forgot where did my brother-in-law bought the ticket. If I am not mistaken, it might be in Ticketamerica.com . This show was quite a breath-taking one. I truly enjoyed it especially the stunts they made.

There are still a lot of shows that I want to see in Vegas. I am thankful that I was able to watch some like the Red Piano concert of Elton John. There are also a lot of places and cities that I wish to visit like the Heinz Field. I hope next time again. Lastly, for those who are searching for
Super Bowl Tickets, you might want to visit Ticketamerica.com. They simply have everything for all your ticket needs. Grab your seats before it's too late! Have fun watching the show!

This is a special post here tonight!
It is always too hot during the past weeks until now. The soil in our garden are getting very dry that we need to water it everyday. I guess we will be paying more water bills this year. lol! It is my fault because I love flowers and plants. It is not a problem anyway because hubby never complains. He said that when it makes me happy, then go and let it be! wink!

Don't you know that it is time for strawberry now? The strawberries in our garden are not growing good the past days. It is just too hot. My first harvest were quite big ones. Now I only got smaller ones. I guess if I can eat strawberries everyday and try to avoid meat and rice, I don't need to take anymore fat loss diet pill. Sometimes I can't imagine how did it happened that I already gained a lot of excess pounds during my seven years of living in Europe. I can only give you a concrete answer! I love to cook and eat. lol! What a bad habit of me.

The first picture here were the first strawberries that I harvested from our garden. It is very fresh, sweet and delicious. The strawberry kiosk like below was taken last year as we were on our way for sightseeing to Landshut in Bavaria, Germany.
we just happened to pass-by this strawberry field where you can pick and buy strawberries.

The Venetian Resort Hotel is one of the luxury hotels in Las Vegas, Nevada. It is located between Harrah's and The Palazzo in Las Vegas Strip, Paradise, Nevada. One of the sights I love in this hotel is the waterfall in it. I never had a boring moment in Las Vegas. It is simply because it is a place full of entertainment and fun. Don't you know that I bought some vitamins in Vegas. I brought some with me back to Europe because it is quite cheap there. Sad to say, I found out that one bottle of Vitamin B-Complex got expired since last year. I just found it out today and will throw it as soon as I can.

Here is the waterfall inside The Venetian Hotel. Please bear in mind that I personally took all the pictures in this site, unless otherwise stated. Have a wonderful weekend.

I am trying to remember one of the sights I love in Las Vegas Strip. I love to watch the dancing water show or the Fountain of Bellagio in this city. Below are some information and the image I took during my visit last 2008.

The Fountains of Bellagio is a vast, choreographed water feature with performances set to light and music. The performances take place in front of the Bellagio hotel and are visible from numerous vantage points on the Strip, both from the street and neighboring structures. The show takes place every 30 minutes in the afternoons and early evenings, and every 15 minutes from 8 p.m. to midnight. Before a water show starts, the nozzles break the water surface and the lights illuminating the hotel tower turn to a purple hue (usually), or red-white-and-blue for certain music. Shows may be cancelled without warning because of wind, although shows usually run with less power in face of wind. A single show may be skipped to avoid interference with a planned event. The fountain display is choreographed to various pieces of music, including songs by Andrea Bocelli, Frank Sinatra, and Gene Kelly.

Songs Featured: One (from A Chorus Line), Hoe-Down, Simple Gifts, Singin' in the Rain, Rondine al Nido, Luck Be A Lady, Winter Games, Hey, Big Spender, Con Te Partiro (Time to Say Goodbye), Hallelujah Chorus, Carol of the Bells, O Holy Night, It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas, The Most Wonderful Time of the Year, We Need a Little Christmas, Sleigh Ride, Santa Baby, Your Song, God Bless The USA, Star Spangled Banner, Pink Panther, My Heart Will Go On, Fly Me to the Moon, This Kiss, Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Gayneh Suite, Overture and All That Jazz, Exstasy of Gold, and Viva Las Vegas.

My cousin from Las Vegas keeps on asking me the past months when am I going back to Las Vegas. I can't visit Vegas this year because next month another Europe adventure is coming. Fremont Street is the second famous street in Las Vegas next to Las Vegas Strip. Wow a lot of Las Vegas words in here! There is always fun and enjoyment in this street. In fact, everyday! I also saw a lot of sexy women here. I am wondering if they are taking apidexin or other diet pills to maintain their slim body. I even have a picture of one of the performers in this street. That was cool! She was expecting a tip after I pose with her. I guess I gave $5.00 only for that pose. Here I am in Fremont Street. That was truly an enjoyable moment of my life!

This is one of the sights I wish to visit in America and Canada, the Niagara Falls. Thanks to Michelle G. for sharing this image. She took this image during her vacation in Canada. Feel free to read below about this famous falls.
The Niagara Falls are voluminous waterfalls on the Niagara River, straddling the international border between the Canadian province of Ontario and the U.S. state of New York. The falls are 17 miles (27 km) north-northwest of Buffalo, New York and 75 miles (120 km) south-southeast of Toronto, Ontario, between the twin cities of Niagara Falls, Ontario, and Niagara Falls, New York.

Niagara Falls is composed of two major sections separated by Goat Island: Horseshoe Falls, the majority of which--two-thirds according to the US Geological Survey--lies on the Canadian side of the border, and American Falls on the American side. The smaller Bridal Veil Falls are also located on the American side, separated from the main falls by Luna Island.

Niagara Falls were formed when glaciers receded at the end of the Wisconsin glaciation (the last ice age), and water from the newly formed Great Lakes carved a path through the Niagara Escarpment en route to the Atlantic Ocean. While not exceptionally high, the Niagara Falls are very wide. More than 6 million cubic feet (168,000 m³) of water falls over the crest line every minute in high flow,[2] and almost 4 million cubic feet (110,000 m³) on average. It is the most powerful waterfall in North America. more about Niagara Falls
