Where are the most affordable places to travel in Europe?

18:13 | Labels:

That depends on your definition of affordable, almost everywere in Europe you can travel without braking the bank (even to places like Paris), the key is to try to save money on accomodation (which is normally the biggest expense), still if you are looking for new places to visit, these would be my favorites:

  • Prague, I know very turistic but is still affordable in many ways since it isn't a euro country yet.
  • Krakow (I insist this is one of the best keep secrets in Europe) less crowded than prague and cheap because is not Euro yet, also is a student city therefore you will find better prices on almost everything there.
  • Budapest, it feels bigger that Prague but also has the great hospitality of Prague and other Eastern Europe places and is affordable for the same reason above, is not Euro yet.
  • Brasov in Romania, the place is reachable with flights on wizzair, is very affordable since is not Euro yet, and the city is just Beutiful and small and the people is amazing.
For more western Europe
  • Berlin: Is more a student city so is surprisingly affordable for a place in a developed country such as Germany.
  • Lyon: this is one of the best cities in France to travel, is well known for its great food, is affordable, has many places to visit and if you go at the beguinning of December you can catch the Fete de Lumiere which is their main event.
Again my main suggestion is to try to save on accomodation mainly by couchsurfing that way you will not breaking the bank almost anywhere you go.

What are the best places in Europe to visit in Spring?

18:10 | Labels:

There's no real answer to this question I'm afraid. Pretty much all of Europe is fabulous in the Spring. To cut things down, and really make the most of Spring (wearing light clothing, enjoying the outdoors), you could maybe focus on areas that are typically miserable during the Winter or uncomfortably hot in the Summer. For early Spring, Southern Europe - Madrid, Rome, Athens - is fantastic. For late Spring, London, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin have all defrosted and are all gems. You can't really go wrong!

Do people in China like cupcakes?

17:50 | Labels:

First, you should really be asking:
Do people in China know what cupcakes are?

There are many cake-like desserts in China that are shaped in the form of a muffin or a cupcake.
However, what Americans consider cupcakes-- fluffy and moist cakes in a paper cup with frosting piled as high as the cupcake itself--is rare sighting in China.
So the "Sprinkles" and "Kara cupcakes" cult phenomenon does not exist in China.

Why?
Because most Chinese households do not have a conventional oven.
So most baked goods--cupcakes, cookies, cakes, quickbreads, lasagna, casseroles--either do not exist or are bought from the store.

Why do some people love cupcakes?

I love cupcakes for the following reasons:
  • Because the cake to frosting ratio is more even than that of regular cake. I hate eating cake when i wind up with too much icing overpowering the flavor of the cake.  this rarely happens with cupcakes.
  • They come in single serve proportions. No serving utensils required, just unwrap and eat.
  • They come in many flavors, but you don't have to commit to one. If you order a cake, you get one flavor. Or, you can order multiple flavors of cupcakes and get the same amount of dessert.
  • Because I have fond associations from my childhood. Cupcakes tended to accompany in-school celebrations of people's birthdays, and therefore signified an unusual and special treat.  Through pavlovian training, I still feel unreasonably delighted and lucky to get a cupcake.
