While Austin may be the capital of Texas, it is actually only the state’s fourth largest city, and is located on the banks of the Colorado River. Austin is also the country’s fastest growing city in the period between the 2010 census and the 2017 census. The city has been the state’s capital since 1839 and was named after Stephen F. Austin, who helped to lead Texas’ uprising against Mexican rule, who went on to be the secretary of state for the independent nation of Texas in the 1830s. Today Austin balances its long history with the thriving alternative culture in the city.

Portland is the largest city in Oregon, and is a place that is famous for the spectacular scenery of the area and for its vibrant and lively cultural scene, with plenty of live music and arts venues around the city. Although it is quite a large city for the region with a population of around 600,000, it is still relatively small compared with the rest of the country, which gives it a more welcoming small city atmosphere, while local authorities have worked to engender this atmosphere in the city.

The city grew and developed as it lay at the confluence of two important trading rivers, and was also close to the end of the Oregon Trail which saw thousands of people emigrate west in the nineteenth century. The timber industry grew to employ many people in the area, while these large rivers also made the area a transport hub

This historic Texan city is often considered to be the home of Texan liberty as it is where the Battle of the Alamo was fought. The city has grown rather a lot since it was founded in the eighteenth century, and is now the third largest city in Texas, and is among the largest cities in the country. Some of the earliest history in the city is seen in the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park, which is a part of the Spanish attempt to settle and control this area of Texas from the seventeenth century onwards. This is a great place to visit, offering a blend of history, culture and the wealth of different attractions to enjoy as well.

You may be stunned to read this, but after living in Germany for 4 years, I have discovered that Germans do things differently than you do in the United States and the situation with a German kitchen when you are buying or renting a house there is just one of them — but it is a big one.

When you buy or rent a home in Germany, you should have no expectation that a modern German kitchen is included.  There is a room that you could use as a kitchen.  That room may have a few old cabinets and a sink, but mostly, it will be a completely empty room with electrical outlets and plumbing hook-ups (at least you know where the sink is supposed to go I guess.)

Ummmm, weren’t there supposed to be appliances there?

Yes, your “kitchen” will most likely have nothing at all in

Liberation Day

An important day for the Dutch, this was the day when the city and the country as a whole were freed from the firm grip of the Germans. This is significant for most, if not all Dutch because of how the entire country was nearly decimated when the opposition lived in its streets. This basically marks the end of the

New Zealand is a destination for many things, like rugby and beautiful scenery. But can the country become known as a sporting destination as well? The groundwork has certainly been laid for New Zealand to become one of the destinations that are synonymous with fun, but could it ever live up to the likes of Las Vegas or Macau in terms of fame and appeal?

In terms of the laws in New Zealand, there are definitely some things that have interfered with the country’s potential in this respect. Chief among those issues is the fact that there are very few locations operating in the country, with the Gambling Act 2003 designed to control the growth of gaming, arguably with an intent to ensure there isn’t an establishment on every street corner like you would see in Las Vegas.

There is also an interesting situation that has developed with sports speculation in

Las Vegas is one of the most recognizable cities in the world, known for its bright lights and endless opportunities to make and lose money. That’s not to mention the many celebrity residences and popular cinematic depictions of the city. However, some facts about Vegas will intrigue and surprise, given that they undercut the city’s popular mystique. Read on to find out.

Vegas isn’t actually Vegas

Most of Las Vegas’ most iconic landmarks (much of the Las Vegas Strip, including the famous welcome sign) are in fact situated in Paradise, an unincorporated town to the south of the actual Las Vegas’ city limits. The area also plays host to McCarran International Airport and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

Of course, this wouldn’t be very sexy to prospective tourists so it’s not really mentioned and further obscured by the fact that the ZIP codes that serve Paradise are assigned
