It has been months since I went for a quick vacation in South California but I never got the time to share my dining experiences during my visit. One of the exciting places I was able to try during my trip is Kula Revolving Sushi Bar in San Diego.  Kula (or Kura) is a revolving restaurant chain with over 400 locations in Japan, 8 locations in Taiwan, and 14 locations in the United States.  We arrived at the restaurant right after noon and the place is already packed, with a queue waiting outside. We waited for an hour, but we didn't mind because it was orderly and chairs are provided outside the door.  There are sushi choices in the conveyor belt that a person can possibly try. All sushi in the conveyor belt cost $2.25 per plate. If you finish up to 15 plates, you get a free item from Kula. :) Special dishes can be ordered via the tablet on the table, and is served through the special conveyor belt.

India is home to some of the most beautiful and interesting coastal areas in all of Asia. In particular, it’s the Konkan Coast – a stretch of land on the western side of the country, bordering the Arabian Sea – that tends to draw a lot of tourists as they pass through the country. Below are some of the specific reasons you should put this coastal area on your travel list. Janjira 1. You’ll See Ancient Forts Many students around the world learn that in ancient times, India was known as a particularly well-defended nation. Indeed, the Western world learns that Alexander the Great conquered everything in his path on his rampage to the East, until he reached the edges of India and was repelled! It is perhaps fitting with these histories that the Konkan Coast is actually littered with picturesque and fascinating old forts. The best of them is toward the northern end of the region.
