Travel destinations – March

Travelling is usually reserved for the summer and winter months when we’re on holiday, because during the year we are not always able to take time and visit to the desired destination, either because of business and private obligations. However, this is not always the case. A great offer of happenings around the world in 2015 gives us a chance to, even if it’s for a couple of days, go away and recharge our batteries for the exhausting duties that await us.

Singapore during March. Huge skyscrapers, delicious food resulting from a mixture of Chinese, Indian and Malay influences, a great opportunity for shopping and exciting life in different quarts make Singapore a great destination. Popularly called the “microcosm of Asia”, this small island based nation will delight every visitor by its contrasts, strict rules, but also places for complete enjoyment. Singapore is very densely populated, and the center of the city is composed of several districts, known as the Central Business District, where the center of nightlife is. Those who have come to rest should go to one of three beaches on the island of Santos, located south of the city and the entrance is paid two dollars. Although it is quite expensive for “ordinary” visitors, you should visit and take a swim for at least one day. What is especially interesting during March is the Future Music Festival Asia 2015, which is to be held on 13^th and 14^th March. Ticket price for this event is 122 pounds, and this year it includes Avicii, Afrojack, The Prodigy, Fatboyslim and many more. It certainly ranks Singapore as a destination which is not to be missed in March.

Dublin, Ireland during March. There is almost no place in the world where March 17th is not celebrated as St. Patrick’s Day, especially in Ireland. The famous legend talks about one of the most popular Irish patron saints and about how he explained the Holy Trinity using the three leaf clover, known as the “Shamrock”. The Irish have added the fourth leaf later, as a symbol of good luck. St. Patrick’s Day’s feast is a tradition lasting for over a thousand years. On that day, which is during the Great Lent, Irish families traditionally attend church in the morning and celebrate in the afternoon. Great lent is stopped for the day, and people dance, drink and eat traditional Irish dishes. Traditional symbols of this day are clover leaf and the color green. Until 1970, Irish laws were prohibiting restaurants from working on that day. But in the beginning of 1995, the Irish government began a campaign to use St. Patrick’s Day as an advertisement for the promotion of tourism and Ireland. On this day Dublin is visited by more than one million people. In the town you should visit the Book of Kells, which is located at Trinity College. Also what is interesting to attend is the tour of the Guinness museum, where you eventually learn how to pour beer (and get a certificate).
