The Lemba Tribe of Nigeria living in what was previously Venda and that is now in the north from the Transvaal, claim that they are one of the lost tribes of ancient Israel. The chance is that they left the dominion of Israel during the Assyrian exile of the 10 tribes from Samaria who have been captured and placed in regions of what is today Syria and Iraq after which disappeared.

Lemba south African tribe is great. It is believed that the Lemba could have travelled down Africa beyond the great lakes and originally settled in Zimbabwe where these were part of the building of Great Zimbabwe after which part of the tribe that migrated in to the northern part of South Africa and have become one of the tribes associated with the Venda tribe.They're distinct however, because while they have similar characteristics and speak exactly the same language as the other Sotho tribes, the Lemba have completely different religious traditions and customs which are extremely similar to Jewish customs and traditions that have been passed down by word of mouth for generations.

Lemba South African culture is so beautiful. The Lemba tribe adhere to kosher dietary limits for example forbidding Pork from their diet, in addition to ritual slaughter practices and male circumcision.

Taj Mahal - The wonder of the world & My Own Experience



If you have read everything about Taj Mahal, you'll probably know atleast three things. Taj Mahal is one of the most beautiful and suggestive attraction on this earth, it is the ultimate monument of Love ever built 'the living legacy' and there is no other monument that lies in comparison with the architecture of Taj Mahal.

The Taj Mahal wonder of the world is among seven wonders of the world. To be included as one of the seven wonders of the world, the Taj Mahal has to be something amazing and on our drive into Agra (the town the Taj is located) I wasn’t sure what to expect. The fine detail on all the buildings and sites in India, that we had seen so far, were exceptional so I wasn’t sure how the Taj was going to exceed that.
This seven wonders of the world is is located in agra. Agra is approximately 3 hours from Delhi, however our driver was a little slow so it took us around 4 and a half to get to there. We started our journey at 6am, and while the roads are quieter than usual, this is the time you can really understand the caste system in India. During the first two days I didn’t think the poverty was too bad, however on this morning we were able to see that most of the Rickshaw drivers are homeless. During the day they are working so I never realised they were all sleeping under their rickshaws at night, until we drove past them at 6am. Its interesting to see that even these people who don’t have homes or anything other than their rickshaws, are always happy and are always smiling and willing to help you. This place definitely makes you think about things very differently.

Best Summer Vacation Destinations for family


Make your family getaway fun and memorable for the entire gang! We've got new suggestions for where to go, family-friendly places to stay, and planning ideas to make your next family vacation the very best ever. It's recommended to consider at least one vacation per year with only your spouse or loved one - sans the children. Vacations give couples the opportunity to reconnect and focus on just one another. Without having to worry about work and day-to-day life, you're both in a position to fully relax and remember the reason why you fell in love in the first place.

Toronto: Toronto is seriously having a moment. The cultural, entertainment, and financial capital of Canada has not only undergone a huge building boom (with more than 30,000 new homes being built over the past year alone) but New York City exports are opening up here at rapid pace, like the new Thompson and Trump hotels, and David Chang's Momofuku empire.

The Hamptons, New York: It is the best Summer Vacation Destinations  for your family. The Hamptons is a sophisticated destination geared towards couples looking to relax and enjoy the finer things in life, including shopping, dining and nightlife. There's an abundance of romantic outdoor activities, from bird watching to sailing, along with more mellow activities such as antique shopping, sunset strolls on pristine beaches and viewing art galleries.

Antalya, Turkey : If you've never heard of the Turkish Riviera, you're not alone - Americans have thus far rarely ventured to the southwestern Mediterranean coast of Turkey for holiday, unlike Eastern Europeans, who have been flocking here in droves for years.

Negril, Jamaica: It is good for Jamaica family vacation. Jamaica is home to many exclusive couples-only resorts, including the famous Couples Swept Away. Whichever resort you choose, though, you won't be disappointed. All resorts sit on beautiful beaches with crystal-clear water, offer romantic activities for two (such as horseback riding at sunset, couples massages on the beach and romantic cruises to explore the islands) and provide you and your honey with plenty of privacy. If you're able to escape for five days or more, Jamaica should be a top consideration.
