france holiday

Whats there to see in france? Theres no limit! My parents visited france earlier this year just in time to get around the city and celebrate France Independance day. There are great fireworks around the city, everywhere is packed with people and the city is alive during the night.

Many people whom i know visited places in France tells me that there is not much of night life available. It is hard to find a good place for food, places closes early except for pubs and bars. However when visiting France theres so much to do that you will definitely need that early night rest in Hotels in Paris to replenish your energy for the daylight outing! After all, visiting France is not all about just listening to the word Bonjour! isnt it?




When you visit France, you will never get bored. Expect to see magnificent buildings with cultures preserved in the cities around Paris. Not to be missed is the Eiffel tower that provides superb excellent view of the city. Its the view that will make you go WHOAAA for the rest of your trip! Not to forget, this is where Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker did the excellent fighting scenes filming of Rush Hour 3!



Then again, if you watch Mr.Bean's Holiday, you will know of this n-shaped building called Arc de Triomphe. I have no idea why but this building catches my attention immediately when watching the movie. Beautifully built and standing elegantly. A work of fine culture and engineering! amazing! After getting tired with walking around, perhaps even the historical national museum, get rest in many Paris Hotels available cheaply for your convenience!


not to forget the food and cuisine! they are of excellent quality. induldge yourself in french food definitely will keep your tastebuds going wild and makes you say YUMMY! in french if you know the word =) Be sure to carry around your friendly French dictionary! and also to get a good rest, pronounce Hôtels en Paris perfectly with your French accent =)France is a good place to be!

safe is not that safe?

im not sure if you guys have heard of this but ebay, a popular online bidding website is being attacked by hackers, and not just one of them but an entire botnet.

and its not just any attack, its a pretty sophisticated one with many changing techniques, which is hard to defend. Aladdin, a internet security company based on Israel first found out the attack that has been attacking for a few weeks and yet unnoticed. It is not just any phishing attack, it is a multi-stage attack with brutal force on ebay accounts. The attack seems to be targeting ebay UK while other geography may well be targeted as well.

With ebay holding over millions of credit card informations, personal and financial data, lets hope that it will not be leaked.

Threat employs phishing - Aladdin researchers identified cases where victims have entered their credentials in phishing sites controlled by the attackers, giving further opportunity for the attackers to quickly gain access to an even larger number of accounts. The phishing operation appears to be ongoing and continues to collect user information. Aladdin researchers have validated cases in which the botnet collected active eBay account details.
Potential UK focus - Aladdin security specialists have identified that a high percentage of the threat's efforts are targeted specifically at UK-based eBay account holders. The Trojan appears to separate its handling of accounts, distinguishing between accounts inside and outside of the United States.
"Through new infection and attack methods, this targeted threat shows that Trojans are continuing to evolve into extremely dynamic, adaptive tools for online criminals, resulting in a potentially damaging aftermath for its individual victims," said Ofer Elzam, director of product management for the Aladdin eSafe Business Unit and head of the Aladdin eSafe CSRT. "This eBay botnet attack is unique, and definitely not found through traditional security measures. Aladdin's innovative security specialists are closely monitoring this new threat and are notifying the Web sites we determine are infecting Web surfers."
eBay Botnet Attack
First discovered by the Aladdin eSafe CSRT, the first-of-its-kind threat uses a sophisticated Trojan that infects visitors of hacked Web sites worldwide. It then uses infected computers to conduct a sophisticated distributed attack on eBay accounts in an effort to steal personal financial information and potentially alter settings that can place sold items in the wrong hands. Aladdin researchers estimate the threat has gone undetected for several days and that hundreds of popular Web sites, regardless of local language or geography, could be affected and are still infecting visitors.
Continued momentum has been logged by the Aladdin eSafe CSRT, citing research gained through Aladdin's eSafe SecureSurfing solution -- a solution deployed by ISPs to block malware before it reaches their customers. The Aladdin CSRT continuously monitors online security events discovered by the SecureSurfing service in search of further details surrounding this complex threat.

so the best is not to buy anything now from ebay until they resolve the matter. i do have an account in ebay and i have bought stuffs over the past few months. Just handle your ebay bidding cravings or get your money 'poof!' eaten by them.

york York york

I LOVE NY! i always see that printed on tees and people wear that everywhere! even in HEROES first season, when the errr japanese guy who can travel through time went to NY, theres this guy wearing that teee too! However, if you do not have the superpower to return home upon reaching New York, you might as well travel to NY with Real Travel. Real Travel offers real people, real advices, real experiences and i think they forgot to add REAL FUN!

NY NY NY. getting around can be as frustrating. what more looking for New York Hotels. However always KISS on your trips. Keep it sweet and simple. Dont get too frustrated. Instead hang around the place, get to know the place. It is alright if you missed nice places that you really wanted to visit only after returning from the trip. After all, you will be on vacation only for few days not few years. So its best to get to know where and what to do there. Pre-book everything to make sure you are not missing all the fun. Of course, its best if you have friends or families over there that know the place much better.

But isnt NY just a city? Of course not. theres lots of fun where you can go shopping or even eat out. Its all up to you to explore. No place is ever boring, they are always unique.

now if only i can get vacation funds..i wanna go visit NY sometime...
