Cruising is a great vacation for family on a budget. The cruise cost includes almost everything from food, accommodation and transportation (to different port but not to the port of call). These lines are sent us by two beautiful Pakistani girls. Both are cousins and living in Lahore having Pandu background as they basically belongs to beautiful village of Multan. They are doing graduation in Mass communication in Lahore and love to go for trips such like Cruising. They more says there are certain expenses that are not part of the cruise fee.

1. Watch Out those Fancy Drinks
2. Portrait Picture? What pictures?
3. The Shopping Spree
4. Expense on Port of Call Day

Tips

Alright, yes maybe they did tell you about tips. But most people forget or didn’t think about adding it up until the last day. The cruise line is pretty good at providing the information of suggested tip per person per night. The tip ranges from $10-$15 per person per day. I have also heard that some cruise lines have moved to add service charges instead of tipping. So make sure to check your cruise cost before shelling out those cash at the end of your trip.

If you plan to explore, don’t forget the cost of food and transportation during the day as it does not include in your cruise cost. The ship still provided food on board but most countries have strict rule of bringing fresh food, fruit and vegetable to their countries.

Whether you are looking for an outfit for a special occasion, trendy casual wear, or perhaps a tartan berry and kilt you will get all these and more when you hit Edinburgh’s shopping streets.

If you are looking for luxury shops Louis Vuitton and Harvey Nichols are sure to satisfy. Princes Street is Edinburgh’s principal shopping thoroughfare and home to the many high street shops mentioned in London and Birmingham.

Dear readers, this picture was sent to us by Wajeha from Rawalpindi Pakistan. Wajeha told us, that she reads this blog at weekly basis. She wants to introduce herself to our readers. Wajeha tells that I am final year student of Art. I love Pakistani tradition, people very much where there they live. I am so confused to do this but as I am broadminded I have confident to do.

She shares some lines about Why Art and Music Education is Important. Wajeha says for the past ten years, public schools have had trouble funding school programs such as art class and music class. Not having at least some kind of music or art education gives kids a severe disadvantage when they enter college and the work place. In art and music classes, children learn to be creative and use other parts of their brain besides the logical part of the brain used in most school subjects. Also, studies have shown that music and art help kids in other subjects like science and math. Studies have shown, too, that art and music class can help kids gain confidence needed to succeed in school and in the professional world. Finally, in art class, students learn how to use tools like drafting chairs and drafting tables that many professionals use, such as architects and graphic designers. Therefore, it is essential that public schools make sure they get the funding they need to keep these programs alive.

The biggest attraction of Karachi is its beach. Where cool breeze flows and water remains good for swimming most of the year. Semi sent this photo when she visited one of the Karachi beaches.

Clifton Beach, on the Arabian Sea, is a beach in Clifton, Karachi, Pakistan, one of the neighborhoods of Saddar Town. The beach has attractions for families and tourists, including beachside horse and camel rides, amusement parks, restaurants, and swimming in the Arabian Sea.

At some place this coast can be sandy and smooth, on others it could be rocky and dangerous. Karachi, being a big and horizontal city, has all sorts of beaches within its ever expanding borders. There are those popular spots where every one likes to visit, like Paradise Point, Hawksbay or sea view; then there are others where only few visit, like the Pir Shams island and many other islands nearby, Russian beach behind the Steel Mill of Pakistan and Gadani.

The whole beach area of Clifton and Seaview is considered safe and peaceful even in times of political tensions.

Gadani and Manora were once popular spots but with brackish water and not much they have lost their place to above mentioned beaches.

But the most photogenic beach of Karachi, in my humble opinion, is the beach that borders Baluchistan. Unfortunately, navy has closed down that stretch of beach, for no apparent reason. But you can still view it from the Sind part of the beach. That stretch of land is called Golden beach.

And the best advantage of online course is that you can do it with very low cost. If you’re worried about how much graphic design classes cost, there is no need to be.

Seemaab more writes that initially, I have something I’d like to tell you. When you take a course of study online you must be mindful that it’s going to be more difficult than it would be in a typical classroom. It is extremely simple to put things aside, but you need to discipline yourself to a certain time in the morning or in the evening so that you can complete the classes you need for your course. There are a variety of graphic design classes that are possible online. Carrying out an online learning course can be more convenient but still help you towards your chosen career. Do a basic search with Google or another search engine, type the keywords “graphic design classes” and you will discover an exceedingly large quantity of results. It is important that you not settle for the first graphic design course you discover. Do some checking and make sure that the online graphic design classes that they offer are valid.

In the end she tells that when looking for graphic design courses online, location doesn’t have to be a factor for distance teaching. This is because you are going to be participating in Internet study not schoolroom classes. Online Graphic Design Schools offer opportunities to earn Certificates, Associates degrees, Bachelor and Master’s degrees in Graphic Design. Online Graphic Design courses are project-based and self-paced, allowing students to progress at their own pace. Well Seemaab thank you so much for your contribution and sharing really nice knowledge with us. We wish you best of luck about your future.
