Tokyo (æ±äº¬), Japan, is one of the world's greatest cities, and there's so much to do and see when you visit. From temples and shrines, to gardens and museums, you'll never run out of attractions. Out of all the things you could do, I've chosen a top 25 list for this awesome city (and just so you know food is my first choice in Tokyo)!

1. Ameya-YokochÅ (ã‚¢ãƒ¡ãƒ¤æ¨ªä¸) - A giant open air market that offers clothes, cosmetics, food, and restaurants and bars.

14. Senso-ji (é‡‘é¾å±±æµ…è‰å¯º) - Visiting this temple is one of the top things to do in Tokyo, frequented by both tourists and religious pilgrims. It's the oldest temple in Tokyo.
15. Edo-Tokyo Museum (æ±Ÿæˆ¸æ±äº¬åšç‰©é¤¨) - It looks a little like a UFO, but it's one of Tokyo's main museums, that aims to preserve the history of the city.
16. Fine Dining - Let's just face it, Tokyo is one of the best cities in the world for high class dining - atmosphere, presentation, food, it's all just stunning!
17. Akihabara Electric Town (ç§‹è‘‰åŽŸé›»æ°—è¡—) - If you love electronics and gaming, you're going to love the area of Akihabara. You'll also find those infamous maid cafes here.

24. Mount Takao (é«˜å°¾å±±) - Just 50 km from central Tokyo, this mountain is popular for climbing and is a sacred religious mountains. Makes a good day trip from Tokyo.

17 jockeys, 3 laps and 70 seconds to win one of Italy's most intense rivalries - BBC

Fri, 11 Oct 2019 04:19:06 +0000

The Palio di Siena (known locally simply as Il Palio) is a horse race that is held twice each year, on July 2 and August 16, in Siena, Italy. Ten horses and riders, bareback and dressed in the appropriate colours, represent ten of the seventeen contrade, or city wards. The Palio held on July 2 is named Palio di Provenzano, in honour of the Madonna of Provenzano, who has a church in Siena. The Palio held on August 16 is named Palio dell'Assunta, in honour of the Assumption of Mary.
A magnificent pageant, the Corteo Storico, precedes the race, which attracts visitors and spectators from around the world.
The race itself, in which the jockeys ride bareback, circles the Piazza del Campo, on which a thick layer of dirt has been laid, three times and usually lasts no more than 90 seconds. It is not uncommon for a few of the jockeys to be thrown off their horses while making the treacherous turns in the piazza, and indeed, it is not unusual to see unmounted horses finishing the race without their jockeys.
