All Airline Seats Have To Be Sit Upright When Landing Or Taking Off. Why?

The US Federal Aviation Administration explains the reason to put the seats on the plan to upright position is to make evacuation in case of emergency on the plane easier and reduce injuries. Therefore, the FAA has taken this simple request into a mandatory legislation.

More air crashes occur on landing or takeoff on the ground. A study on the Boeing planes obtained 58% of dangerous accidents occurring during that time. When flight attendants make sure that the seat backs are up, which means that you do not become tangled in the chair when you are on an escape in case of emergency. No one wants to stop the evacuation process to move chairs during and after the accident.

The chair in the upright position during the take-off and landing also minimizes the possibility of accident in which your face collided with the seat in front. This is also the same with the person who sits behind. If you pull your seat up, you will also reduce the risk of head injury, impact and many more.

In addition, if crew members realize that there is an imminent accident or emergency, they will require passengers to hold positions for an emergency landing on the head that is bent forward. The British Civil Aviation Authority said that "Passengers can only change their posture easily by sitting straight. When you are in danger, you do not have to take more time to move the chair and hold your position."

When the stewardess asks you to lift the backs of seats each on the taking off plane and landing, they do not want to ruin your dream or your comfort. They just make sure you follow the rules.

If you travel long distance a lot, flying would be the best choice for you to save money and time. But every travelers who did travel by air will assure how terrible the food on the plane were. For many, a short trip on the sky will not worth to eat these terrible food. But what if you are on a long distance flight such as a 18 hour flight from New York to Taipei, living with the cookies or dried food will not be a good idea. Food on the plane is the only choice, plus it's included when you buy the ticket. 

A famous chef from New York has once shared that he used salt, pepper more than normal when he prepared the food for the First Class passengers of Singapore Airlines. He explained that the air inside the plan was very dried because of the pressure and the strong ACs. This would cause the lost of salty and sweet taste in passengers by 20%. That is why he had to use pepper, salt, and especially other herbs and spices to increase the taste. "The noise made by the engines is also cause trouble in tasting."

Most of food on the plane are made on the ground and warmed up on the plane which will make the food really dried. In order to avoid tasting these food, you can choose food that contain a lot of fat like fish and pork because they can keep the juice inside after the warming time. Do not choose food like rice or bread because it would make you lose your appertie. Also you can choose food with strong taste like sour, bitter, or salty. 

Moreover, if you want to have a perfect meal, you should prepare some spice packs, or chili sauce and bring them in your carry on bag. It would save the day if the food go unexpected.

There are lots of towns and villages around the world that are famous for their colorful structures and buildings such as the carnival city Rio De Janeiro in Brazil, or the blue city of India Jodhpur, or the magnificently bright in color Wroclaw in Poland, or the amazingly town Medellin in Guatape, Colombia.

Jessica Devnani, a talented photographer from Toronto, Canada, has traveled to this colorful town of Colombia and produced a great amount of stunning photos. "A few years ago I was backpacking through Colombia. A friend had told me that visiting the town of Guatapé was an absolute must. Once I got there, I understood why. Guatapé, a small town just outside of the country’s capital, Medellín, is quite possibly the world’s most colorful town.", she said.

With over 7 year experience in photography, Jessica can depict the colorfully and cheerfully painted town very lively and attractively. "Each building is lined with simple illustrations or patterns. Every turn of a corner had me wondering what I would come across next! There is also a rock that looks like it has literally been dropped on top of a hill, which which offers visitors a stunning 360 degree view of the surrounding scenery. Being up there really makes one appreciate just how beautiful our planet is.", she shared.

Colombia is full of hidden treasures like this. It is not at all the “dangerous, risky, unsafe” place most people think it is. I highly recommend seeing it for yourself!

Things You Should Do In Dubai

Things You Should Do In Dubai

Dubai is a beautiful city in the middle of the desert. It is amazing to see how people build this crazy city on top of sand and sand only. Besides the structures of buildings, Dubai also provides visitors with lots of other things. Let's find out!

Ski Dubai

Yes, there is an indoor ski resort in Dubai located inside the Mall of the Emirates (different mall than the Mall of Dubai)!  While it is not the biggest ski resort in the world, it is legitimate skiing and snowboarding.  There are multiple runs and amazing snow (the always keep it below freezing inside, so the snow doesn’t get crunchy).  You can rent all necessary equipment and even take lessons if you like.  While inside I totally forgot it was 117 ° F outside. The novelty of snowboarding in the middle of the desert is unreal.

Desert Safari

You can’t go to Dubai and not take a desert safari.  Quite quickly you can leave Dubai and see nothing but blowing sand dunes for miles and miles.  There are tour operators all over town selling packages.  Usually they are around $50 and include a city tour, some 4×4 dune crashing, camp fire dinner, and belly dancing.  There are also tours that feature camel riding, sand boarding, and so much more.

Jumeirah Beach Residence Walk and Dubai Marina

This is the most pristine community I have ever seen in my life.  Every single brick of every single building is meticulously placed and beautifully maintained.  This neighborhood features tons of high rise condominiums, cafes, bars, more shopping malls, beautiful hotels, beach access, and a waterway snaking through the center.  I took a water taxi down the waterway and couldn’t stop gawking at the endless amount of perfect buildings.

Old Dubai Market (Deira)

Not all of Dubai has sprouted up in the last 40 years.  If you want to see what life was like before the skyscrapers and luxurious hotels, head down to the old markets (souks).  If you want your own traditional jewelry or headscarf, this is the place to get it.  The array of textiles and spices seems endless.  Remember, if you want to buy anything negotiating a price is almost expected.

Dubai Fountains

If you have been to the Bellagio fountains in Las Vegas, then you get the idea of what the Dubai fountains are, now just make that idea a lot bigger and more grand.  These fountains are also located at the Mall of Dubai, and nightly shows feature the fountains spraying and dancing to a vast array of music.  The best part about this show is that it is free.
