Trip to Japan

Tokyo is Japan's capital and the country's largest city. Also one of Japan's 47 prefectures, but is called a metropolis (to) rather than a prefecture (ken). The metropolis of Tokyo consists of 23 city wards (ku), 26 cities, 5 towns and 8 villages, including the Izu and Ogasawara Islands, several small Pacific Islands in the south of Japan's main island Honshu.


I had the pleasure to visit many places such as Shinjuku which is one of the 23 wards of Tokyo but the name commonly refers just to the large entertainment, business and shopping area around Shinjuku Station. Shinjuku Station is Japan's busiest railway station. Shinjuku' is the home to many of Tokyo's tallest buildings, including several premier hotels and the Metropolitan Government Office.


The current Imperial Palace (Kokyo) and the residence of Japan's Imperial Family is located on the former site of Edo Castle, a large park area surrounded by moats and massive stone walls in the center of Tokyo, a short walk from Tokyo station. From Kokyo Gaien, the large plaza in front of the Imperial Palace, visitors can view the Nijubashi, two bridges that form an entrance to the inner palace grounds. The stone bridge in front is called Meganebashi (Eyeglass Bridge) for its looks. The bridge in the back was formerly a wooden bridge with two levels, from which the name Nijubashi (Double Bridge) is derived.

Tokyo Tower - 333 meters, is 13 meters taller than its model, the Eiffel Tower of Paris, and the world's tallest self-supporting steel tower. It was completed in the year 1958 as a symbol for Japan's rebirth as a major economic power, and serves as a television and radio broadcast antenna and tourist attraction.

Mount Fuji (Fujisan) is with 3776 meters Japan's highest mountain. It is not surprising that the nearly perfectly shaped volcano has been worshipped as a sacred mountain and experienced big popularity among artists and common people. Mount Fuji is a dormant volcano, which erupted most recently in 1708. It stands on the border between Yamanashi and Shizuoka Prefectures and can be seen from Tokyo and Yokohama on clear days.

If you have the opportunity to visit Japan I am sure you will have an unforgettable experience. I did and would love to go back one day again.

Build Your Family Kingdom

Building a happy marriage should also include the idea of building a “family kingdom.”

There is an old saying: “A man’s home is his castle.” This analogy should apply to his entire family, where he is the king, his wife the beloved queen, and his children the royal princes and princesses who need training to fulfill their future responsibilities.
So the parents enthusiastically work together to ensure that these future leaders are carefully nurtured, guided, disciplined and trained for the important roles they must play in years to come.

The intelligent and joyous blending of these two concepts in marriage—the open and loving union of the bodies, hearts and minds of the married couple, and the creation of the vital “family kingdom”—can and should produce an opportunity and an atmosphere where men and women can find complete fulfillment. This fulfillment is pictured by the Psalmist:
“Blessed is every one who fears the LORD, who walks in His ways.... Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine in the very heart of your house, your children like olive plants all around your table” (Psalm 128:1-3).

Once you fully grasp these concepts relating to the meaning and purpose of marriage, why not set about building your marriage and your home around them?

Instead of the husband and wife being bored and disinterested in sharing each other’s thoughts, both should be vitally interested in the miniature “family kingdom” which, together, they are energetically building. There should be a purposeful common interest in teaching and improving their home and their financial position and in planning for the future—their future.

For in a truly happy marriage, it is not “my house,” “my car,” or even “my paycheck.” Rather, the attitude should be “our house, our income, our future.”

Trip To Paris, FRANCE


Paris - Called with famous title "City of Lights” is no exaggeration a multi-faceted jewel of a European city! With overwhelming beauty of its art and architecture and culture you are going to be amaze at every turn. The Metro connects the entire city in minutes with the Louvre, the Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame Cathedral, The Eiffel Tower, Sacre Coeur; the treasures created by Renoir, Monet, Cezanne, Gauguin, Matisse; the artistry of its chefs, and the fruits of French vineyards; the retreats to cozy cafes, bistros and elegant restaurants - the romance of it all! This very walk-able city also offers an excellent public transportation system. We loved it!

The Law Of Attraction – Very Inspirational...

Each one of us on this earth has it the ability to lead and inspire others. Sometimes our works feels small and insignificant but remember, a small ripple can gain momentum… and build a current that is insurmountable.
Begin with one small step. Don`t let others stand in your way. Walk your own path.
Some may laugh. So what but many will follow. Don`t ever give up!
