Places Like No Other

 There are many places with a unique flavour to them (not just the food!), across the world. Here are a few in my list. All these I have visited at least once.

Japan as a country is unique in many ways. They are extremely polite, and cellphones are not used in most public places. Efficiency is prized, and trains and buses run on time.

Greece. The islands are a unique mix of Mediterranean blue and homes in white. 

Sri Lanka. Emerald isle indeed. Very beautiful, friendly people.

Vietnam. Hard working people, and one of the fastest growing economies, with good reason. After all, they beat the U.S. in a war earlier.

Ladakh is a cold mountain/desert with great views, and I haven't seen anything like it anywhere. My daughter visited again to do a course at Sonam Wangchuk's place, and got to see some Ice Stupas too, used to store water.

Coonoor, Darjeeling.. Tea gardens are the unique thing in both.

Yellowstone National Park..Very large, diverse, with Host springs, geysers, Buffalo (American variety) and lots more

Bryce Canyon- amazing sight, unforgettable. Grand Canyon too.

Las Vegas. Mayanagari in a desert. Unique, heady feeling that makes you bet big at the casinos..one almost empathises with the Pandavas.
