Niagara Falls - travel guide and information

Niagara Falls is right on the US and Canada border (there is
actually a Canadian falls plus an American falls)but they are
both viewed best from the Canadian side of the border. the
horseshoes falls on the Canadian side is big one.

About 90% of the water going over the Falls goes over the
horseshoe falls. Both of the falls are lit up at night and
this can be very dramatic. Here's some sample shots:
http://www.travellerspoint.com/photos/stream/photoID/51452/

If you plan to travel only to Canada (and not to the US),
then you should fly into Toronto (Canada's largest city)
and drive the approximately 1,1/2 to 2 hours to get to the
falls. Didn't get a ticket but about 1/3rd of those driving
the route did.

If you are going to the US then you can actually fly into
Buffalo which is just 15 minutes from the falls. There is
also a bridge (the "Rainbow" Bridge) that you can go across
from the US to Canada (or vice-versa) but of course, you need
to have a US visa in that case.

The falls themselves are quite unique and interesting to view,
the surrounding city-not so much. There are just tons of run-
down tourist attractions on the main road leading into the falls
area and while there is a very nice park right next to the falls,
there are really no hotels to stay at that give a great view of
the falls. Stay a few blocks inland and things will be much
cheaper anyway. There is an interesting tour of the power plant
here (on the Canadian side) that also discusses the falls. The
most interesting thing to do while here is to take the "Maid of
the Mist" tour, which is where you get in a boat and ride right
up to the bottom of the horseshoes falls (you do get wet but they
give you a giant raincoat and a hat to wear when you get on the
boat). This tour leaves only from the Canadian side.

On both the Canadian and New York side of the falls, there are
some wineries in the vicinity.While they in no way rival any
California, French, or Chilean/Argentinian wines, they do
serve some interesting sweet white wines that are at least
somewhat worth your attention.Like I said, though, go easy on
the drinking of alcohol because of all the speed traps.

This is a very well known honeymoon destination mostly for those
living in the eastern part of the US. Personally, I don't understand
the big attraction, because I know a whole lot of places with better
nightlife and a greater variety of more dramatic natural sights but
then I guess when you are on your honeymoon, you aren't leaving the
hotel room that much to see or participate in the nightlife or local
sight.

Best or worst travel experiences in hotel

when I was travelling to cox's bazar bay

in bangladesh,i stayed in a hotel near the
bay.I could feel the sound of wave during
whole night and during whole day.It was a
great hotel.one night I slept and was in a
dream,all the windows was almost open but not
fully open.the breeze was coming,my dream was
like I was walking in heaven garden and a
cute girl was also walking in the garden and
I approached to her and she walked away.

in my two days staying in the hotel,I had
a experience which i will never forget.
I stayed at fifth floor.I was using lift to
go to first floor(I don't like to use serie).
It was evening time.
I stepped in the lift room and there was no one
with me.getting in the lift room i pressed
the ground floor button so that lift stops in
ground floor.the lift door closed automatically
and lift was heading downward but within some
seconds electricity gone and lift stopped.
there was no light in the lift and
unfortunately my mobile was not with me
because i was just going to a shop nearby
the hotel.I did not know in which floor the
lift stopped.I did not see anything in the lift.
the moment i felt like i am in a prison,I am
died.also i felt like i am in the dark sky
alone!!.after 2 minutes,I could not bear the
moment and shouted for help by doing sound
on the lift door with my hand.in a moment someone
with a rod opened the lift door.I got relief.
I was like a bird in the sky-free.

what was your best of worst hotel experience?

visits there.after entering the factory we
hired a guide and a car to visit every part of
the factory.it was a dangerous tour because there
were many risks in this factory because of
various chemicals and gases.so we did not
get out of the car while visiting the different
part of the factory.the guide described every
parts one by one while we were passing those
parts by car.we saw where core of the cement
is created and where they are mixed with other
chemicals.A lots of technology were used for
that.unbelivable technologies.no one can
imagine until viewed.at last we visited a place
where rocks are gathered from india by
wires.a incredible view.

to go there u have to go chatak sub district of
sunamganj district by bus or train.then

chatak cement factory - travel story,guide from bangladesh

There are two big cement factory in
chatak sub district of sunamganj district.
one is known as lafarge cement factory
where cement is produced by dry process
and the other is known as normal cement
factory.

I posted my experience on lafarge cement
factory.now i will write my journey to
the other cement factory.I have a relative
in chatak.I with my family went there and
planned to visit the cement factory.

at morning we went there and the manager
received us with warmly welcome.Its a big
area.first we saw a big pipe where
materials are passed by wind method.then
we saw a storage where materials are
mixed by a shaft which is run by motor.
a lot of energy is needed to run the motor.

then we went to another big storage where
chemicals and mud is mixed by a motor.the
storage was at top and huge in size.

after that we went a place where mixed
chemicals are burned with fire.we couldn't
reach the burning place because of heat.

the cement is produced by breaking those
burned chemicals and mixing finally with
a chemical.

It's a huge process for producing cement.no
one can imagine how much energy is consumed
and how much working is going on there until
visits there.to reach there and for guide contact me.

what to take when travelling,travelling light,travel checklist,travel guide

Going to travel is a great thing and
traveller's must not forget to take
necessary things with them.this is
necessary because if you take necessary
things with you then while travelling
you are tension free.the most common
things that traveller's takes with them
are - bag,camera,water,food,sufficient
money.these things vary with
long distance travelling to small distance
travelling,how long the travelling is?other factors.


when I went to visit lafarge cement factory
which was very near from my relatives house,
I took with me only a bottle of water,tissue
papers,and some money.but when i was
visiting maynamati buddhist bihar which was
too far from my home,the things was with
me are-money,bag,food,camera,clothes,water
for 1 day visit.
