[www.keralites.net] The Comprehensive Guide To Making The Perfect Travel Budget

 

The Comprehensive Guide To Making The Perfect Travel Budget! To make sure that the vacation you've been planning all year round actually turns out to be as good as your Instagram feed, you need to plan and budget your trip wisely. Even the dreamiest of vacations can turn horrific, and if you aren't the first-born of a billionaire, your budgeting matters. Whether you're staying in a 5-star suite or bunking with others as you backpack across Europe, you need to make sure you're getting the most for your money. Here are some travel and budgeting tips that you should always remember before planning a vacation. So once you have finally found a place you wish to explore... 1. Apply for a passport/visa If you are one of the lucky few who already has a visa and a passport sorted out, great. But if not, we suggest you do this first because it generally takes some time for all the paperwork to be sorted out and trust me, you do not want the headache of not knowing what's happening till the last minute. If you don't have much time in your hands but still wish to travel abroad, visit a place where you can obtain a visa on arrival. 2. Make a transportation budget The second step applies to all. Always, always have a fool-proof transportation budget. Choose a mode of transport. If you have to fly, look for the cheapest return tickets. Using public transportation is one of the most budget-friendly ways to travel. Do a bit of research on the place you're travelling to and set aside an approximate budget for it. Do not forget to factor in the taxi rides from the airport to the hotel. Also, if you're planning a road trip around the country, find the best way to commute. You might need to find the cost of renting a vehicle and add to the budget. 3. Budget your accommodation Depending on where you're going and who you're going with, figure out the lodging scenario. Decide what kind of an accommodation you're looking for, whether it's a hotel, motel, lodge, guest house or an AirBnB-like arrangement. Budget your stay accordingly. Also, always remember to read the reviews of the place itself and the area around. Be sure to multiply the number of nights you'll be there. Even if you don't end up staying at the place, you'll still get a better idea of the lodging costs in and around the area. 4. Some say you should budget your food as well. This is a hard thing to do. Particularly hard for a foodie like me. Having restraints on food is really hard for me but not going overboard is important. Have a budget set for each meal. This will also vary, of course. An average meal in Europe will be more expensive than South East Asia. One way of keeping a tab on your food is to look for accommodation that offers a complimentary breakfast. 5. An activity budget This is where researching your destination actually makes a lot of sense. Look for fun things to do. If you just plan to visit museums, art galleries and other historical monuments it might not make a difference. But if you plan to do more adventurous things like sky diving, bungee jumping, scuba diving etc, you need to make a budget for it. Many adventure sports companies offer combo deals which end up being cheaper than usual. Shopping is another way to spend all your money. Make sure you take note of all these things. Whatever you do, do not end up making these silly mistakes -  1. Not having a long enough window between connecting flights Always have a window of an hour and a half between connecting flights. People often miss this out and end up missing their flights or misplacing their luggage. Both of which are not only expensive but also highly annoying. Experts say 45 minutes is also fine, but even that is cutting it too fine. If you're relying on your airline to make sure this doesn't turn into a problem, you're trusting them too much. 2. Not applying for your paperwork in advance We have mentioned this one before and we will say it again. Always apply for your paperwork well in advance. In fact, you should only book your tickets after you've been cleared to fly. A lot of times people end up cancelling their tickets because their visa didn't get sanctioned. Which is great if you're an airline owner, not so much if you're a budget traveller. 3. Underestimating the distance between places It's a major bummer if you end up realising that your hotel is actually in the middle of nowhere miles away from where the action actually is. Let's say you visit a hot place. You might want to catch a little siesta back in your room before heading out for the evening. That's not possible if your hotel is in the suburbs. Don't just look at what the cheapest place is, also look at what's happening around. 4. Trying to do too much in a single trip There's not a lot to add to this really but just because you're travelling to Europe doesn't mean you end up visiting every country there. Spend some time, make it a memorable experience, not just a checkbox that you need to tick off your list. Always remember - Research, review, compare, repeat.

[www.keralites.net] Include More Apples in Your Diet for These Health Reasons

 

Here's Why Apples Are So Good For You! We all know that old saying: "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." But have you ever wondered why that is? How can one apple a day bring about significant health benefits? If you have, then you'll be glad to read this article. From strengthening the immune system, to preventing cancerous growths and losing weight, say hello to your apple a day!   How do apples help us?   Important research published in 2008 by the German cancer research center showed that apples offer a significant health advantage. Those that ate one or more apples each day were shown to be healthier than those in the control group that ate no apples at all. They were found to have less risk of mouth cancer, larynx cancer, breast cancer, intestinal cancer, kidney cancer and ovarian cancer. These findings corroborate new research conducted at Cornell University, which showed that apple peel has strong antioxidant properties. These properties mean that apple peel is a powerful inhibitor of breast cancer cells. Researchers found that the higher the concentration of apples, the lower the concentration of cancerous cells. Cancerous growths are uncontrollable cell growths that independently spread throughout the body. The growths are based on three principle levels. The first stage causes mutations in cell DNA. The second is when the growth becomes malignant and grows faster. And, in third, it metastasizes and spreads throughout the body. In the event of a cancerous growth, apples aren't only used as antioxidants - they also improve immune system function, which helps clean out the growths in their early stages. In addition to boosting the immune system and fighting cancerous growths, apples also help control the levels of cholesterol and sugar in the blood, prevent heart disease and improve mouth hygiene. The fact that they contain more than 80% water and a long line of essential vitamins, makes them one of the healthiest foods available The secret? Nutritional Fiber   Apples are considered a vital source of nutritional fiber. Eating one apple a day (with peel) can award us about 4.4 grams of nutritional fiber, which is a fifth of our recommended daily amount. Nutritional fibers are nutrients found in foods that come from plants, and have a very important role in stimulating digestive system function. Since they are not digested and taken apart in the body, they sate our hunger for a longer period of time. Extensive research has shown that those that do not get their recommended daily amount (at least 25 grams a day), deny themselves a host of health benefits. In addition, the researchers found that consuming these fibers is quite an effective method of losing weight. The secret is in the chewing. Drinking apple juice will not give you the same health benefits as eating an apple will. A study conducted in China found that chewing can help the body regulate the amount of calories it absorbs from food. What does this have to do with apples?   Everything. Apples are a terrific source of nutritional fiber, especially a group of fibers called Pectin. This is a group of complex carbohydrates that regulates our bowels, improves good cholesterol and has powerful antioxidant and antibacterial properties. Researchers from UCLA have shown that consuming pectin instead of regular fiber doubles the time it takes the stomach to empty from one hour to two, meaning that we don't feel hungry for a longer time. In fact, a recent research paper titled: "Weight Loss Associated with a Daily Intake of Three Apples or Three Pears among Overweight Women", showed that women who were overweight and were instructed to eat an apple or pear before each meal lost significant weight just by doing so. The women in the experiment were asked to eat regularly and just add the apple before the meal. What happened was that the apples and fibers crowded the stomach, increased the feeling of being full, and made the body absorb less calories. Other sources of nutritional fiber are: pears, peaches, peas, carrots, seeds, nuts, peel of fruits and vegetables, legumes, whole grains, oats and whole wheat. But apples offer many more advantages. So if you want to: Lose weight, eat one apple a day. Strengthen your immune system, eat one apple a day. Control the level of cholesterol, eat one apple a day. Prevent the spread of cancerous cells, eat one apple a day!

[www.keralites.net] These 14 Ancient Theaters are a Sight to Behold

 

14 Ancient Theaters of Greek Roman Antiquity! The remains of ancient Greek and Roman theaters lie scattered around the Mediterranean. The Greek theaters were huge, open-air structures constructed on hill slopes. On the other hand, Roman theaters, although heavily influenced by the Greeks, were built upon their own foundations. Theaters originated in ancient Athens where they were originally used by the Athenians to host festivals honoring Dionysus, the god of fertility and wine. These festivals often featured dramatic performances of tragedy, satyr and comedy plays. The Romans, less philosophical than the Greeks, wanted pure entertainment with lots of humor and excitement. Popular entertainment in Roman theaters included mime plays, comedies, tragedies, jugglers, acrobatics, animal fights and gladiator fights. However, the last two were more common in the Roman amphitheater. Below you can find some of the most preserved and amazing ancient theaters of Greek and Roman antiquity. 1. Taormina Greco-Roman Theater   Taormina was a small Greek colony on the east coast of Sicily. The Taormina theater was constructed by the Greeks in the 2nd century BC and was restructured and widened by the Romans. This ancient theater sits in a beautiful location which overlooks the Bay of Naxos and Mount Etna. Today it acts as the center of Taormina's international film festival. 2. Jerash Theaters   Jerash is one of the most popular archeological sites in Jordan (second only to Petra). This city's golden age came about under Roman rule and this site is now widely acknowledged as one of the best preserved Roman provincial towns in the world. Jerash contains two stunning Roman theaters. The North Theater, with a capacity of 1,600, was built in 165 AD and was mostly used as the city's council chamber. The larger South Theater was built somewhere between 90-92 AD and could hold more than 3,000 spectators. 3. Odeon of Herodes Atticus   The Odeon of Herodes Atticus, cut into the southern slope of the Athenian Acropolis, was constructed in 161 AD by Herodes Atticus (a Roman senator) in memory of his late wife. The structure was used as a theater for various plays and music concerts. It originally had a wooden roof and could hold up an audience of around 5,000 people. 4. Roman Theater of Merida   According to an inscription, the Roman Theater of Merida (situated in present-day Spain was built in 16BC by order of Agrippa, a general and close friend of emperor Augustus. This ancient theater could hold up to 6,000 spectators. This theater has undergone quite a bit of restoration, and it was restored to its current state in the 1960s-1970s. 5. Roman Theater of Amman   The Roman Theater of Amman in Jordan was built during the reign of Marcus Aurelius in the 2nd century AD. This large theater could hold an audience of around 6,000. It was cut into a hillside facing north so that the sun would never shine directly on the spectators. The theater has three tiers: one tier, closest to the action, was for the rulers, another was for the military, while a third tier was for the general public. Although the third tier was quite far from the stage, the actors could still be heard clearly thanks to the steepness of the theater. 6. Pergamum Theater   Pergamum was a Greek colony on the Aegean coast of Anatolia. Although this is one of Turkey's lesser known archaeological sites it contains a few notable structures, such as this theater. The Pergamum theater was built in the 3rd century and could hold up to 10,000 spectators. It is one of the steepest theaters in the world. 7. Theater of Side   Side is a popular resort town on the southern coast of Turkey. This city was founded by Greek settlers in the 7th century BC and, at the time, was one of the most important trade centers in the region. Sometime around 25 BC Side became part of the Roman province Galatia and it prospered through its trade of olive oil and slaves. The Theater of Side is still in fairly good condition and it could seat 15,000 to 20,000 people. 8. Theater of Sabratha   Sabratha, located in Libya, was established around 500 BC as a Phoenician trading-post and it reached its peak under Roman rule as a costal outlet for the products of the African hinterland. The Theater of Sabratha was constructed in the 2nd century AD. The structure remains largely intact thanks to reconstruction by Italian archaeologists in the 1930s. This theater had 25 entrances and could seat around 5,000 spectators. 9. Roman Theater of Orange   The Roman Theater of Orange in France is a well-preserved theater built in the 1st century AD. After the Roman Empire declined, the theater was closed by the church in 391 AD as they regarded the spectacles which took place inside as brutish and demeaning. The theater was restored in the 19th century and nowadays the Chorgeries d'Oran, a summer opera festival, takes place here. 10. Great Theater of Ephesus   The ruins of Ephesus are a popular tourist attraction located on the west coast of Turkey. This city was once famed for the Temple of Artemis, one of the seven wonders of the world, which was destroyed by a mob in 401 AD. However, the Great Theater still remains. This large theater, capable of holding up to 25,000 spectators, was originally used for drama, but during later Roman times it was used to host gladiator fights. 11. Aspendos Theater   Aspendos has one of the best preserved ancient theaters of antiquity. The Aspendos Theater, located in south-west Turkey, was built in 155 AD during the time of the Roman Empire Marcus Aurelius and could seat between 15,000 to 20,000 spectators. Since the stage area was later used as a roadside inn in Seljuk times, it was continuously maintained and restored. As a result of this continuous restoration, the Aspendos Theater has been able to survive without losing any of its original qualities. 12. Delphi Theater   Delphi was one of the most important sites in ancient Greek religion as it was home to the sanctuary and oracle of Apollo. The ancient Delphi theater in Greece was built on a hillside giving spectators a splendid view of the entire sanctuary and landscape below. It was originally built in the 4th century BC and could seat around 5,000 spectators. 13. Bosra   Situated 140 km south of Damascus in Syria, Bosra is an ancient city which was conquered by the Romans in 106 AD. The theater of Bosra was built in the 2nd century AD and could seat up to 15,000 people. This theater was one of the best preserved Roman theaters in the world. However, it has recently been damaged by the war taking place in Syria. 14. Epidaurus   The theater of Epidaurus, located in the northeast corner of the Peloponnesus in Greece, was built in the 4th century BC. This is one of the most beautiful Greek theaters in the world. Unlike with Roman theaters, the view of the lush landscape is an integral part of the theater itself. This is a 14,000 seat theater.
