Time to have an adventurous Jungle Walk!
While searching for my summer trip I came
across Borneo. Well, much in talk ‘The Rainforest of Borneo’, that is today’s
most adventurous tourist place. It is the third largest island in the world and
the only island that belongs to three separate countries.
History
behind its visibility
Ruled by the headhunters a century ago,
Borneo was once a swampy coastal area much fringed with mangrove forests and a
mountainous interior. The terrain was mostly covered with dense rainforests that
was virtually impassable and unexplored. But industrialization and emerging
biofuels market, specifically, oil palm that has highly threatened the forest
area, leaving the shadow of the legend behind.
Trip
to Borneo
Adapted to the ever-changing weather conditions, the island is solely the land of
beauty. It has one of the oldest rainforest in the world along with Amazon and
Daintree, brimming for years with thousand of species of flora and fauna. The
best way to reach is to apt to fly into Kuching in Malaysia, that is developed
and near to the borders. For a travel inside the rainforest you should necessarily
hire a guide who could serve as the host with all travel information. Every
sight and sound of the trip is captivating when you are embarking on the
adventures of the rainforest.
There are also excellent resort facilities
in Borneo that will also allow you to enjoy a wide range of sports activities,
sight seeing, educational and recreation activities, along with cool refreshing
swim in a large pool of tropical rainforest.

Lover’s Day, that's what it is called!
Ya! 14 February, Valentine’s Day, The day that emerged from the romantic walls of Rome and got widespread in many countries around the world. Falling behind the bars it was a Golden Legend of Saint Valentine, who is believed to have performed Christian weddings for soldiers who were forbidden to marry.
The expression of Love:
Before his execution, he is reported to have performed a miracle- healing Julia, the daughter of the jailer, to whom the first "valentine" card was wrote signing as "Your Valentine. The expression adopted by modern Valentine letter.

It is believed that Saint Valentine had cut hearts from parchment and gave it to the soldiers and persecuted Christian to remind the men the vows and God’s love. This gave the origin to the now widespread use of hearts on St. Valentine's Day.
Rome is now also one of those places where love lives. It is also named Roma that originated from the Italian word for love "amor" when spelled backward. The beautiful sights of the city and the unspoiled nature will take you to the drive of an amazing land. There is so much to see in this place that you need to spend at least a week and explore a few sights.
In recent years, Romania has also started celebrating Valentine's Day, even though several groups, institutions and nationalist organizations condemn the Valentine's Day for being superficial, commercialist and imported Western kitsch.
