The Traveller

Hello and welcome to this site, The Traveller. This site is about places to visit, like a travel agency. I've been on neopets for quite awhile now and have had many sites in the past the usual, review, graphichs and so on. One day I thought there are many other people the same age (18) or older than me and the idea for this site came to me. It will give a description of places around the world to visit and top things to do/see while there. This helps people who want to travel or who are travelling find unique places to visit.

America

America also known as the new world is one of the most popluar countries with 50 states of travel goodness. America's most well known and travelled to destinations are, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and Las Vagas. With many intesesting and unique locations America is one of the top tourist destination.

1. New York:

The Empire State building is on the top of the to see list. This building is New Yorks tallest structure with 102 floors. Rather than just stand outside and at the bottom of the building there is a tour of the building and takes you up to the 86th or 102nd viewing deck for a breath taking view.

Grand Central Terminal, a walk inside New Yorks illustrious past. There is more to do than you think. Take a look at the celestial ceiling mural, check out the Whispering Gallery and explore the "secret" elevated passageways for a spectacular view of the concourse.

Japan

1. Tokyo:

If you happen to be in Tokyo during one of the three grand tournaments — 15-day events in January, May and September — you can catch some of the action at Ryogoku Kokugikan, Tokyo's National Sumo Hall. Bouts, scheduled throughout the day, usually last for just a few intense seconds (bodies lock, twist, ripple, drop) with a lot of posturing (stretching, stomping, salt-tossing) in between. Try to be inside the arena at the start of a new round, when the rikishi parade into the arena wearing ceremonial aprons over their loincloths, and sometimes a former champion demonstrates some classic moves.

Dedicated to the late 19th-century emperor who opened Japan to the West, Tokyo's most famous Shinto shrine is wonderfully serene and austere, not colorful or flashy like other Asian places of worship, and is less of a tourist trap than Senso-ji, the big Buddhist temple across town in Asakusa. The 40-foot-high (12-meter) torii gate at the entrance to the 200-acre park is made of 1,500-year-old cypress, and there's a second one like it closer to the shrine itself.

China

1. Beijing:

Panjiayuan antique market is Beijing's most famous antique market, situated west of Panjiayuan bridge and south of the east third ring road. All manner of antiques are on sale on the thousands of market stalls. Paintings, calligraphy, ceramics, jade, furniture, coins, army surplus, "cultural revolution" (1966-76) memorabilia, Buddhist artifacts and much, much more. If you are not an expert, simply wandering around the 40,000 plus stalls is just as much fun!

One of China's most famous exports is the myriad forms of kung fu. Meaning "attainment through effort", kung fu is a western umbrella term that covers many martial arts. See many of them performed by the Shaolin-trained monks who play-fight their way through a mazy plotline filled with impressive stunts such as snapping iron bars over their heads in The Legend of Kung Fu at the Red Theatre - a Vegas-style show with English subtitles.

Korea

1. Seoul:

Mountains ring Seoul and one of the best to climb is Bugaksan, the peak behind the President's pad, Cheongwadae or Blue House. Several trailheads take hikers through reconstructed 15th-century gates and along Seoul's ancient fortress wall. From the top of the 342-m (112-ft.) ascent, you'll get a commanding view of the capital.

Every foreigner who comes to Seoul gravitates to this gritty expat-friendly neighborhood near the main U.S. Army base. Itaewon is choc-a-block with bars, clubs, restaurants and shops selling everything from reproduction Korean furniture and tailored suits to jewelry and Korean pottery.

A walk along this 5.8-km (3.6-mile) stream is almost as good as a spa for clearing one's mind or rethinking a deal. While it's just off Sejongro, one of the busiest boulevards in Seoul, Cheonggyecheon is remarkably quiet because the stream is more than 15 ft. (4.6 m) below street level and feels a little like a dugout. You can take an organized walking tour (register online in advance) or stroll alone.

Australia

1. Gold Coast:

Whether you're 6 or 60, if you are on the Gold Coast, you have to have a go at surfing. There are plenty of schools to choose from and most will promise to get you upright and riding in a day. Go on, do it, imagine the home video once it's over.

This half day tour features a cruise through the Gold Coast canals where you will be able to checkout some multi million dollar properties followed by a whale watching tour. See Humpback Whales, Bottlenose Dolphins and giant loggerhead turtles on this fantastic cruise

Experience fun for the whole family with one day entry into Dreamworld. You'll enjoy thrilling attractions and shows including Imax Theatre, Flowrider, Screamworld, Nickelodeon Central, several family rides catering for small children and much much more. Australia's favorite family park, Dreamworld Theme Park Gold Coast

England

1. London:

It is impossible not to be drawn in by the (often grisly) history of the Tower of London. See the spot where Anne Boleyn was beheaded, the infamous White Tower where Richard III imprisoned his young nephews, and, of course, the Crown Jewels, still proudly in place despite the best efforts of Colonel Blood in 1671. It's well worth employing a Yeoman Warder as your guide – they're often as entertaining as they are informative.

Part of the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, the Royal Observatory is home to the National Meridian Line. This line officially separates East from West at Longitude 0º and is known as the 'Prime Meridian'. It also represents the official centre of world time – Greenwich Mean Time. By placing your feet on either side of the line, you can stand in both the eastern and western hemispheres simultaneously. The Observatory also has a cutting-edge planetarium, some of the oldest timekeepers in the world, and the UK's largest refracting telescope.

Canada

1. Toronto:

CN tower is located on the north shore of lake Ontario_ and is one of the tallest buildings in Toronto, Ontario_ Standing at a height of 1,815 feet. It is a major tourist attraction that includes observation decks, a revolving restaurant and an entertainment complex.
