Jaisalmer or known as the golden city of India is a city in the Indian state of Rajasthan, located 575 kilometers (357 mi) west of the state capital Jaipur. The town stands on a ridge of yellowish sandstone and is crowned by the ancient Jaisalmer Fort. This fort contains a royal palace and several ornate Jain temples. Many of the houses and temples of both the fort and of the town below, are built of finely sculptured sandstone. The town lies in the heart of the Thar Desert (the Great Indian Desert) and has a population, including the residents of the fort, of about 78,000. It is the administrative headquarters of Jaisalmer District. Jaisalmer was once the capital of Jaisalmer State.

Cost Breakdown!

1 usd = 70 rupees

Amritsar - Jalandhar- Lalghar- Jaisalmer (train) : 4 usd/ 280 rupees
room no ac per night: 1 USD/ 70 Rupees! (I booked my night in "The Wanderlust Guesthouse". There are many cheap rooms and it's not consistent sometimes they go up high it really depends on the season and the marketing of the property.
water= 20 rupees
food per meal cost - 1usd and above; depending on your taste and choice
Jaisalmer or the desert safari package tour including a camel ride, one night in the desert with food and jeepney ride - starts from 1500 rupees but I am with my friends so we try to bargain it until we only pay 125o rupees each.


7 things you must to see/s or do/s in Jaisalmer, India

1. Try the Lassi outside of the fort 
-okay you can have a normal lassi or with extra kick high :P



2. The Fort
- This is where people usually go first. This is where you can see the palace, the Jainism temple, the small road with markets, the viewpoint to see the overlooking and can be also the sunset and yes the bats attached to the big arc door of the fort.




3. Get a room, it's cheap! At least you give yourself a fancy night at an affordable price! With ac cost more but not that much too.



This is where I stayed I lost my room pics but I promised its clean and nice!


4. Camel Ride in Sand Dunes
- this is part of the tour package we get! Totally scary at first but definitely you will enjoy later being so high and enjoying the sun starting to set! That is definitely a lovely time of my life to just feel how beautiful the world is.







5. Eat some cookies!
- this is good with friends! It is like alcohol it makes me sleep so easy! I kinda miss all the milky way view but I can still remember how amazing I was looking to the sky at the moment.

6. Old abandoned village
- they said it is one of the oldest village in Jaisalmer, a lovely golden building (not real gold but yellow bricks that maks it golden especially when the sunlight hits on the bricks)






7. Enjoy watching the Milky Way when you sleep in the desert!
- You can write your name and your crush name by the stars! Stars are a lot! You cannot count them all and I even saw some meteors! Just one of the best nights of my life!

Brazil is such a huge country with 8.516 million km² . To picture out how big Brazil is down below shows how massive it is. Brazil is a combination of countries packed in one massive land. Also, Brazil is the only Latin America country that do not speak Spanish but Portuguese. It is remarkably interesting diverse country that I stayed for 10 months, yes almost a year. To name some of the interesting facts: 1.        If you want hot and completely hot for the entire year – go to North. 2.        If you want four seasons – go to South! 3.        Carnival is more celebrated in compare to Christmas or New Year 4.        They pronounce H if the word starts with like Rio de Janeiro must be pronounce as Hio de Janeiro 5.        Every state has different an amazing to offer 6.        All faces, colors and races – you can find there 7.        They do not have natural calamities at all so the only problem is some people like robber and killer or with guns 8.        Amazon h

Along the way after I decided to expose myself in traveling I discover that there is another way to live in this life- not only, get a stable job, getting married, and build a family. We all knew that life is really uncertain- am I dying? I do not know- that is the ironic in this life because we do not know unfortunately. I know I am 24 years old, not married, not stable but what I am doing is what I want to do before I die, so I hope you respect my last wish. I do not want to think that I have so much time to waste to spend before it is too late. Do I miss my family and all the people I loved and left?- Yes of course.   Bangkok Thailand, 2015 What am I doing is one way to keep them updated. I want to inspire others  that in this life- you don't have to follow of what others told you to do but do it because that makes you happy.

What exactly I always here while working in here (I mean my part time job now), Hi I am a cashier of a 24/6 convenience store and my shift is every TTH from 7pm to 7 am. True that our price is higher compare to other store but what we differ from them is we serve 24/6, meaning it is what exactly explains why our price is higher a bit. Also, the panel or the supplier is not on time so we buy some products in bulk to the big distributor store that is at the same time located in the same area as we are. When customer shares her/ his experience and they ask you what will you do if u are them. Supposedly u don't care but customer tell you u are mean and bitch if u dont care. I just experience it awhile ago, i have no voice and the customer is blah blah and he ask me and i just look at him and smile- i tell you he just said after, "the cashier is so mean"... Hahahah well base in my current status, I don't care, i got no voice lol. You feel it? Agggh! Same here! Especially t
