A land so beautiful and rich with history and culture. From Edinburgh, with its magnificent castle overlooking the entire city and its surroundings, to Glasgow, for the party animal in you, to the Highlands in the North you will find a country that will take your breath away.

Explore Amsterdam by taking a canal cruise and then by visiting Amsterdam’s best museums. Amsterdam is probably the most bicycle friendly city I have ever seen and would strongly encourage you to take one for a spin around the city.

A big city with a friendly atmosphere, a place for the past to be treasured and the new to be embraced. The magic of Budapest makes it one of the most enjoyable European cities and ranked as the most livable city in Central Europe. The stunning architecture and wonderful views on banks of the Danube makes this city one with an irresistible charm. Budapest is considered as one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. The city houses a few World Heritage Sites, namely the banks of the Danube, the Buda Castle Quarter, Andrássy Avenue and the Millennium Underground railway. The first settlement in the city was Ak-Ink. It was build by the Celts before 1AD. Currently the ethnic groups residing the city are  Hungarians, Germans, Roma, Slovaks and Greeks.

Budapest has 23 districts in total; 6 are located in Buda, 16 in Pest and 1 on the Csepel Island between them. The largest medicinal bath in Europe, Széchenyi Medicinal Bath, is also located in the city.  The third largest church in Europe, Esztergom Basilica, is only 45 km away from Budapest. The first underground railway in Europe was built in Budapest, which is known as the Millennium Underground railway. A major attraction of the city is the 80 geothermal springs. Budapest also has the world’s largest thermal water cave system, second largest synagogue and third largest Parliament building. I think I will leave you with the photos for now :)

You see this in a lot of people who go endlessly to Paris when they think of France rather than exploring the hidden charms within other areas. This was a short visit to a few areas in France and took a few shots. Hope you find those photos enjoyable.

Flamenco shows have been very good entertainment over the last few years for me and this show I attended in Barcelona lately is by far the best I have seen yet. I took a couple of video clips and will leave you to enjoy them now :)

When I first started this blog a few months ago I thought it would be a blog for a few things I like. However, as time went by, the blog has branched into two completely different directions. It has become imperative to move all my tech news to another place and making an overhaul for the design and layout on http://TheChadi.com. The new blog is located at http://BrothaStyle.com and is now up and running. A few tweaks will take place over the next couple of days.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all who have supported this website and looking forward to release the new version of TheChadi.com :-)

Poble espanyol is an open-air architectural museum located on the mountain of Montjuïc in Barcelona, Spain. I don’t want to go into the history of this place but I am sure you can easily look it up if interested. Enjoy the photos :-)

There’s something magical about that place with all the beauty that’s within. I leave you with the photos.

The building of it has been ongoing since 1882 and is privately funded. Current target for its completion is 2040 but who knows if that will be met. No visit to Barcelona is complete without heading to this wonder. I leave you with the photos.
