The Internet has made huge numbers of great deals on last minute travel greatly available to people across the world, making a quick and easy weekend trip a viable option, instead of something more out of a romance movie.
Last Minute Travel in the Shrinking World
April 30th, 2010Internet Tourists
April 30th, 2010Tourist attractions can take many forms, but very few expected Boo the Ninja Dog to become as much of a tourist attraction as he has. And yet, in Kyoto, Japan, tourists have come running to see the 9-year-old Pekinese in his ninja costume, complete with a sword strapped to his back. Boo the Ninja Dog roams the city unhindered, and tourists often set out with the goal of finding him in the city. He has been seen in such varied places as the grounds of Kiyomizudera temple, or Nijo Castle, according to Chieko Hara of asahi.com. Both of these sites are major tourist attractions; obviously, Boo knows how to play to his tourist audience well.
