Peekay (PK) First Bollywood Movie Shot In Belgium

Posted on April 16, 2018 by Gopi Solia

Bollywood movies are known to be a rich affair. That’s why it is easy for filmmakers to shoot their film at locations that we have just imagined or seen in glimpses. We have seen mesmerizing snow-clad mountains of Switzerland in many Dharma Production movies. We have also seen classic Netherlands and Paris in Queen. We have seen many beautiful locations in our beloved movies. One such beautiful and rare location is Belgium. Are you guessing which movie made you virtually visit Belgium’s city, Bruges?

Well, imagine a man and a woman singing a song along the side of the Canal of Bruges wandering through the market place and then going to the Howest Campus Sint-Jorisstraat and then moving towards the beguinage. Still can’t recollect? Let’s kill the suspense; the movie is our very own Peekay or PK. The shooting has been done in such an amazing way that anybody watching the movie will fall in love with Belgium.

The picturesque shooting of the song “Chaar Kadam” from the movie Peekay was majorly shot near the Canal of Bruges and the market area. Interestingly, the centre of Bruges is known to be one of the world’s few World heritage sites as recognized by UNESCO. The Gothic architecture across the country accompanied by cobbled stoned street and building inspired by the medieval age makes the country one exquisite beauty.

Just like Bruges, Brussels is also one marvelous place to visit in Belgium. The city is home to the very famous comic series and movies called Tintin and The Smurfs. Brussels is famous for being a very art appreciative place. It has its very own comic strip and a Fine Arts museum called the Belgian Royal Fine Arts Museum. The beauty of the entire city is augmented by medieval architecture but there is also uniqueness with a contemporary building like Atomium which makes the city even more surreal. You must visit the Grand Palace, Saint Michel Cathedral, Parc du Cinquantenaire and Notre-Dame du Sablon in Brussels.

The gorgeousness of Belgium stands class apart with the Gothic architecture, the art, the trams, the culture and the most important the CHOCOLATES! The Belgian chocolates are something you just cannot miss in Belgium. I am sure, while shooting Peekay (PK), the actors must have stocked up chocolates from Belgium. You can do that too! But remember that Belgians take their chocolates very seriously, just appreciate the chocolate and stock it up. You won’t regret it. Chocolates can be the ultimate Belgian souvenir for your friends and family as well.

The Hagia Sophia of Istanbul

Posted on February 19, 2018 by Gopi Solia

Istanbul is one of the most beautiful places you will see in Turkey. Formerly known as “Constantinople”, Istanbul now has a very deep-rooted history that has led the city to have stories that make Istanbul a culturally rich city even today. The streets of Istanbul boast of the stories of the past. Not only history and culture, Istanbul is blessed in terms of geography as well. It is one unique city that happens to be in two continents at the same time. Yes! You read it right. Istanbul is the only city that lies in Asia as well as Europe geographically. With so many unique features, there’s one more reason for you to visit Istanbul. Wondering what is it? It is the majestic Hagia Sophia. Let’s know something about this architectural beauty before you book your Turkey Tour Package.

Hagia Sophia is a majestic monument which has had its own significance in the stories of Istanbul since the time it was known as Constantinople. The Hagia Sophia has been subjected to various religious differences over a long period of time until finally when the Turkey government made it a symbol of secularism and turned it into a museum.

Today, the Hagia Sophia museum embodies secularism in Turkey, but, it was originally made as the church of Holy Wisdom in the 360. Later in the 404, the church was subjected to religious immoralities and faced the same consequences in 532 A.D. As a result of many differences over a long period of time, the Hagia Sophia was turned into a Mosque in 1453. With the culturally rich and luxurious design, the Hagia Sophia became a very vital part of the stories of Istanbul. Not only that, the Hagia Sophia had become an integral part of the skyline of Istanbul. It had become a significant monument in the entire world irrespective of the religious tag that it belonged to.

While all the years of the prevalence, Hagia Sophia had become a beautiful home to various irreplaceable mosaics denoting the history of the city right from the Iconoclasm to the late ninth century. Moreover, Hagia Sophia preserves the treasure of the history of the city’s journey from Constantinople to Istanbul and beyond. Finally, in the year 1935, the government of Turkey acknowledged the art and the architectural uniqueness of the monument and declared its secularism. Thus, Hagia Sophia became a museum of national as well as international significance and stands for the art and architecture that it conserves till date.

Research and restoration continue to safeguard and develop the art of this beauty called “Hagia Sophia”. This royal beauty has featured in various movies as well. The depiction of Istanbul’s beauty in the movie ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’ and ‘Ek tha Tiger’ is marvelous. Not just this, Istanbul is dear to many artists from different corners of the world. Interestingly, Agatha Christie, the famous mystery book writer wrote her famous work ‘Murder on the orient express’ in Istanbul. Ernest Hemingway is also a great writer who considered Istanbul a great inspiration. When you visit this beautiful home of the Hagia Sophia, you will know the reason why it is a muse to many.

Midnight Sun – What Is It And Why Does It Occur?

Posted on February 9, 2018 by Gopi Solia

Scandinavia is a breathtaking land consisting of three countries namely Denmark, Norway and Sweden. These countries are located in the Northern Hemisphere. Now, what do we have to do with that? Well, the earth is an interesting place. So, let’s try to know about the amazement that the earth has brought to us from the northern hemisphere.

When we are talking about the Midnight Sun, it sounds a little paradoxical. Sun and night don’t go together in one sentence unless it is “the Sun sets and the night grows”. Well, the amazing earth defies this very premise. So, let us try to understand what is the Midnight Sun?

What is the Midnight Sun?

Midnight Sun is a phenomenon where the sun shines even during the night. This happens in the Arctic and the Antarctic circles of Earth. That means in the regions in the Northernmost and Southernmost points of the Earth; the Sun does not set for roughly 6 months of the year. Fascinating, isn’t it? Now, the northern hemisphere or the northern most point of the earth is a little more crowded as compared to the southern hemisphere. We establish this fact considering Human population and not Penguin population. The only major chunk of land in the Southern Hemisphere is Antarctica. In contrast, the Northern Hemisphere is spread over various countries like Norway, Finland, Iceland, Sweden and Canada. This means there are parts of these countries where there are days that just don’t end.

Why does this happen?

We all know that the Earth revolves around the sun and rotates on its axis. But did you know that the Earth is tilted by about 23.4° on its axis? Yes, you read that right. The Earth is tilted on its axis by 23.4°. So, when the Earth revolves around the sun, there are some regions that are exposed to the sun for several days. When the northern hemisphere is exposed to the Sun for six months, the Southern Hemisphere faces Polar nights, which means the sun just doesn’t rise there for six months.

Norway is one country where the Sun never goes below the horizon from May to July. So, for approximately 76 days, the Sun just wouldn’t budge. That’s why Norway is known as the Land of the Midnight Sun.

This is an extremely fascinating phenomenon. You must witness it at least once in a lifetime.

So, when are you booking your Scandinavia Tour Package with Flamingo Transworld?
