AOE: A little journey to Daulatabad fort.

Daulatabad fort, 2011.
Hello, How are you doing? As you can see from the picture above, I'm not gonna share about Sydney here but India. There are so many differentiation between those two. If Sydney uses their high-technology to support their attractions, India uses their own nature and temples as their attractions with ordinary support, I mean the transportation is not that high-technology generally. The picture above was taken in Daulatabad fort, India in 2011. I and my friends experience something quite amazing.

Daulatabad fort is a 14th-century fort city in Maharashtra, India. It is about 16 kilometers northwest of Aurangabad. You could take a bus from Aurangabad to the fort like pictures below. It spent approximately an hour and it was very cheap like below 50 rupees (2011).

The bus that can take you to the fort.
The bus from the inside. It was comfort enough to take this bus.
As I told you before, the transportations in India are not that high-tech generally even though New Delhi has a Metro (underground train) that I think is good enough. But, it is not matter if the transportations are high-tech enough or not as long as we have a passion to travel and as long as the attractions are undoubtedly amazing. It is cheap though. So, now I want to show you some pictures of Daulatabad fort. Here they are.


















We looked around in the fort. It is pretty big enough to be explored. We took a walk for couple hours inside it. There are also white monkeys around it. You could take a picture with the monkeys but be careful because they used to take our bag for food. By the way, I succeed to do it and I did it with their king! Why do I know that it was the king? Because it was the biggest monkey among the others. Here is the picture.


And one more thing, when we was looking around inside the fort, suddenly a bunch of local people gathered and asked us especially my friend from Bulgaria, Katya, to take a picture with them. We was shocked and laughed at Katya because of it. Maybe the reason was Katya was the only one non-Asian tourist among us. Haha.. Forgive us, Katya.


So, How is it? Is it worth enough considering the ordinary transportation as I told you? Is is worth enough to be in your list?

AOE: Bondi beach vs Manly beach.

As the most people know that Sydney has a lot of beaches, here I want to compare 2 of the most famous beaches in Sydney that I visited previously. They are Bondi beach and Manly beach. Tourist mostly have those two on their itinerary list. Those beaches are great though.

On comparing those two, I will show you some pictures I personally took. I am not going to judge one of them as better beach over the other. So here they are.

Bondi beach

















Manly Beach
















For your information, when I was in Bondi beach, the weather was cloudy and windy. That's why those Bondi beach photos seem very silent. And when I was in Manly beach, the weather was sunny. That's why so many people went to Manly as we can look in the photos. Those beaches have their own charm definitely. People go surfing on both beaches. So, Which do you think is better?
