One stop for London Restaurants, Bars, Hotels, Events and more

Qype is a website that gives information about Restaurants, Bars, Hotels, Events and more on London. Whether it be Shopping, Eating / Drinking, Arts or anything else that you are interested in. The site will show you where to find the best places and deals. It's easy to navigate and use, as all information is categorized for easy access. They even have an application on iPhone.

Take the restaurants london as example, you can read the users review and rating. You can see the location of the restaurants on map. They may also have some recommendation by the restaurant itself to tell you what is the best food to try. If you don't like it, you can see what is nearby also. Your recently viewed and searched will be recorded, so that you can always find what you have read about last time.

As for the pubs london, you may take a look at the users uploaded photo before you decide which to go. Some sample photos are shown above. But if there is a video so that you can see it and listen to the music, it would be much better.

Qype allows users to search for and read trusted reviews about a venue or experience and, with the launch of Qype Radar, users can read and add reviews on their phone and use the application as a personal sat-nav to their chosen location. And if you are business owners, I am sure you will be benefit if you get yourself listed in the directory.

Hope to see more of such services available at other cities or country, as it really simplified your life. Especially to a tourists, you can easily get a good food that mostly recommended by the local by just reading the reviews. Some more this is most updated, no need you bring along a booklet which may already expired or have the restaurant shifted.

The Japanese Naked Festival

What a strange festival. But anyway, different country different religion got their own tradition, so Japan got this Naked Festival. Seems like is a kind of offering to the god.


I always like Japan, they got a good mixture of tradition and modern, very unique. Those traditional is very traditional, and yet the modern is very modern, and both mix well.

How African sell eggs

Ever wonder how African sell their eggs? Well, they do it in a special way that you never see. They "wear" the egg on their egg! Take a look!

Just kidding, I think they are not selling eggs, maybe got some parade or carnival. But wearing those on head, really got to be very careful. Or maybe those are just empty egg case.
