<p>When you have the option to work from anywhere in the world the next question is or should be where do you go? To save you time with crunching numbers and overthinking back and forth we picked locations based on these key factors.</p>

<ol>
	<li><strong>Safety - </strong>&nbsp;Before moving to a new city, it is important to know how safe it is for expats. For this, we took a look into other people&#39;s experiences and respected and authoritative sources to determine which are the safest digital nomad cities in the world.</li>
	<li><strong>Culture -</strong> One of the biggest reasons to travel is to discover a new culture. Some of the cities in this list are known to attract tourists from around the world to experience living in their customs and festivals.</li>
	<li><strong>Accessibility -</strong> What makes a city digital nomad-friendly are the facilities that are available to make the city accessible to others. This means having a well-developed infrastructure and English translation for signs and shops wherever needed. In addition to this facilities for the specially abled or those travelling with family or pets are a major positive.</li>
	<li><strong>Economy -</strong> One of the major factors when considering a place to visit is the economy of that country. It&rsquo;s important to determine the inflation and expenses that could occur when staying there.</li>
	<li><strong>Diversity -</strong> &nbsp;Usually travellers prefer a city that is more diverse in terms of its residents. This helps them in seeking communities in case of any issues they face.</li>

<h2>Facts About San Francisco - The Top Ones</h2>

<h4>Here&rsquo;s taking a look at some exciting facts about San Francisco:</h4>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h3><strong>1. Golden Gate Park outstrips Central Park</strong></h3>

<p>It may come as a surprise to many people. Yet, it is true! The Golden Gate Park is bigger than the more famous Central Park in NYC. The latter covers 778 acres while the former covers a mega 1017 acres. It is a fact that few people know about one of the city&rsquo;s famous landmarks. Talk of an oasis of green and they have it in the heart of San Francisco!</p>

<h3><strong>2. The City has its Own Fog</strong></h3>

<p>As hilarious as it sounds, San Francisco has its own fog. And it has a name- Karl. They have been calling it Karl for years now. The locals use this name for the infamous fog. The origins are still unclear; many believe it came from the Big Fish movie in 2003. The movie had a giant named Karl. Many others believe it has been Karl for several decades. Today, Karl has an Instagram page with thousands of followers! It happens only in San Francisco.</p>

<h3><strong>3. The Chinese Fortune Cookie was Born Here</strong></h3>

<p>San Francisco is its birthplace. Makoto Hagiwara invented it in the late 1890s here. He was a Japanese immigrant to the city. The cookie was a big draw at the Tea Garden, Golden Gate Park. When in San Francisco, you can consider visiting Chinatown. It is home to the Ross Alley fortune cookie manufacturing unit. You can watch the making process and have a swell time. You can also buy them mint-fresh afterwards.</p>

<h3><strong>4. The Sea Lions Arrived After 1989</strong></h3>

<p>Many people believe that they are permanent natives. The fact is that they only came after 1989. They have been at Pier 39 in Fisherman&rsquo;s Wharf ever since. The reasons are still unknown. The 1989 earthquake may have driven the shift. Businesses on the wharf were earlier averse to them. Yet, they are now big tourist attractions in spite of their loud noises.</p>

<h3>&nbsp;</h3>

<h3><strong>5. Imagine a Black &amp; Golden Bridge</strong></h3>

<p>The Golden Gate Bridge could have been golden and black. It would have been the same as many bridges in the early-20th century. The current bright hue was an accident. Irving Morrow, the consulting architect for the bridge holds responsibility. He saw the eye-catching red hue of the primer coat on some steel portions. He finally managed to convince the authorities about it. He also talked of how the red-orangish hue would be fitting for several reasons. He pictured it against the fog, sky and hills. Morrow&rsquo;s imagination made the bridge what it is today.</p>

<h3><strong>6. North America&rsquo;s Oldest Chinatown</strong></h3>

<p>San Francisco has North America&rsquo;s oldest <a href="https://www.thesqua.re/san-francisco/chinatown/serviced-apartments">Chinatown</a>. Founded in 1848, this Chinatown covers a mile in its length. It is the second biggest Chinatown outside the Asian continent. A trip here is a must for all travelers to San Francisco.</p>

<h3><strong>7. The City has 50+ Hills</strong></h3>

<p>San Francisco has lovely hilly terrain as most people know. Yet, many people feel that there are 7-9 hills here. The city actually has 50+ hills with names. Some of the famous ones include Nob Hill and Russian Hill. You can also check out the Telegraph Hill. Other hills which are not well-known include Tank Hill and Golden Mine Hill. The Excelsior Heights zone is also worth visiting.</p>

<h3><strong>8. The City is Quite Small in Reality</strong></h3>

<p>Many visitors testify to the vastness of the city, with 7 million people. Yet, it is quite small in reality. It covers only 7 miles in both width and length. San Francisco is easier to visit at a go. You can see a lot of things in a single day here.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h3><strong>9. Alcatraz has a Non-Prison History</strong></h3>

<p>Alcatraz (pelican in the Spanish language) was different. It was a military fort before becoming a prison in 1934. Famous prisoners include Al Capone and Robert Stroud. Another famous prisoner was George Kelly. They came to Alcatraz via train. The wardens were always nervous about security. They often ended up loading the train car onto a barge. This used to take place without them unloading the prisoners and shifting them to boats!</p>

<h3><strong>10. USA&rsquo;s Biggest Japantown</strong></h3>

<p>It is not only about checking out Chinatown. San Francisco is also home to the biggest <a href="https://www.thesqua.re/san-francisco/japantown/serviced-apartments">Japantown</a> in the country. California State was once home to 43 unique such developments. Yet, after the Second World War, many of them folded up. There are only three in the USA as per reports. The oldest and biggest of them is in San Francisco. The other two Japantown developments are in Los Angeles and San Jose. You should visit Japantown for a yummy sushi meal. Go during the spring if you are here. You will love the blooming and beautiful cherry blossoms in Japantown.</p>

<h2>Bonus Fact&mdash;San Francisco had a Different Name</h2>

<p>San Francisco owes its start to European settlers. They set up their tents here, founding the city in 1776. It had a different name earlier till 1846. Before the renaming exercise, Yerba Buena was its name. It means good herb in the Spanish language. The name came from the wild mint growing around the local area.</p>

<p>If you are planning a San Francisco trip anytime soon, make sure you check all local regulations. Do your homework on flights and other bookings. Check out <a href="https://www.thesqua.re/san-francisco/serviced-apartments">furnished apartments in San Francisco</a> for your accommodation needs. You will need an apartment near tourist landmarks in the city. Choose based on the location, amenities, and the size that you desire. Book tickets to landmarks in advance; it will save you hassles later on. Remember that San Francisco is not a big city. You can cover a lot of things in a couple of days. Keep some time in hand for exploring the culinary scene of the city.</p>

<h3 id="La+Bauhinia+at+the+Shangri-La+Hotel" name="La+Bauhinia+at+the+Shangri-La+Hotel"><strong>La Bauhinia at the Shangri-La Hotel</strong></h3>

<p>Probably the most sought-after table in Paris right now is one that resides in the restaurant of the Shangri-La Hotel. It&rsquo;s a popular mixture of traditional French and Asian cuisine creating one of the best fusion tastes around.</p>

<p>Luckily, this place is open for breakfast, brunch and lunch, as well as dinner, as most companies will be trying to pip you to their post for dinner here.</p>

<h3 id="Auguste" name="Auguste"><strong>Auguste</strong></h3>

<p>With a decor that already creates the perfect atmosphere for a successful meeting, this Michelin-starred restaurant will give a great initial impression to your clients.</p>

<p>There are armchairs to relax into and their staff while attentive, are well versed at allowing your conversation to flow without interruption.</p>

<h3 id="La+Chateaubriand" name="La+Chateaubriand"><strong>La Chateaubriand</strong></h3>

<p>One of the most important restaurants in the French capital, La Chateaubriand is sometimes used as a template by up-and-coming restaurants. They can never quite reach the same heights though.</p>

<p>There&rsquo;s very little in the way of glitz and glamour, opting more for simplicity in its decoration. If you want an unusual experience it&#39;s well worth a try. You can queue up if you haven&rsquo;t made a reservation (unheard of in a top Paris restaurant), there&rsquo;s no actual menu and, most unusually, they have a wide selection of quality wine, some of which isn&rsquo;t French!</p>

<h3 id="Sola" name="Sola"><strong>Sola</strong></h3>

<p>If you want to show off your eatery expertise straight off the bat, this is the place to choose. It&rsquo;s Michelin-starred, of course, offering another French/Asian fusion although the latter in this case is Japanese.</p>

<p>The cellar location of this restaurant makes it a perfectly intimate place for a meeting without being too cramped.</p>

<h3 id="Fouquet+s" name="Fouquet+s"><strong>Fouquet&rsquo;s</strong></h3>

<p>As much a part of Paris&#39;s history as the Eiffel Tower itself, Fouquet&rsquo;s is located on the famous Champs Elys&eacute;es and has been since 1899.</p>

<p>It is a luxurious place that seems to exhume wealth, what better location to show off your wares? A bit of interesting history is that this is the restaurant that President Sarkozy came to celebrate after his election victory.</p>

<h3 id="Breizh+Cafe" name="Breizh+Cafe"><strong>Breizh Cafe</strong></h3>

<p>You&rsquo;d be forgiven for worrying that taking your clients out for a traditional French crepe might make you look a bit downmarket. On the contrary, bring them to Breizh Caf&eacute; and you&rsquo;ll see that there&rsquo;s nothing downmarket about the crepes on offer here.</p>

<p>There are seats so don&rsquo;t fear that you&rsquo;ll be standing up trying to discuss business whilst trying to stuff a crepe in your mouth! You can even cater for different tastes. Seafood and fresh meats for the savoury lovers, rhubarb or banana cream for the sweets.</p>

<h3 id="Les+Climats" name="Les+Climats"><strong>Les Climats</strong></h3>

<p>Another of Paris&rsquo; Michelin-starred restaurants and arguably one of the best. If you want to use wine in an attempt to ease the transition of a negotiation then this is the place. There are 20,000 bottles of burgundy to choose from, as well as nearly 3,700 bottles of red and 600 bottles of white.</p>

<p>This restaurant can also accommodate large parties, in case your meeting is more like a conference.</p>

<h3 id="Maison+Blanche" name="Maison+Blanche"><strong>Maison Blanche</strong></h3>

<p>If you&rsquo;re looking for that little bit extra above and beyond the food and wine then Maison Blanche can help with this &lsquo;wow&rsquo; factor. It&rsquo;s handily situated on the busy Champs Elys&eacute;es, on the roof of the Champs Elys&eacute;es Th&eacute;&acirc;tre.</p>

<p>From this position, it offers amazing views of the Invalides, as well as unrivalled views of the Eiffel Tower.</p>

<p>An alternative option to a swanky restaurant is to cook a meal for clients for yourself. This can&rsquo;t be achieved in a pokey hotel room, of course, but it is a possibility if you&rsquo;ve opted for a rented apartment.</p>

<p>Short-term apartment rentals are fantastic value for money. <a href="https://www.thesqua.re/paris/serviced-apartments">Paris apartment rentals</a> can even be cheaper than the traditional hotel offers. There&rsquo;s certainly more to offer. Lounge, dining room, bathroom and bedroom, it could be a short-term home away from home.</p>

Singapore Hungry Ghost Festival 2023

<p>The Hungry Ghost Festival takes place in multiple Asian nations and is usually associated with Buddhist and Taoist beliefs. As per the Chinese calendar, it takes place traditionally on the 15th night of the 7th month which is sometimes called Chinese Ghost Month.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Throughout this month, it is usually believed that the spirits of deceased relatives and friends return from Heaven and Hell while visiting their descendants who are living. The latter pay their respects in a bid to absolve any suffering that might be plaguing the deceased owing to their actions in their lifetime.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Activities held include burning incense and joss paper and also offering food. The deceased are perceived as still living in this period and special meals are cooked with places set at the table for them in their respective households. The food is usually vegetarian at the Hungry Ghost Festival.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Several items are often recreated through paper-mache and then burnt as an offering for the spirits. Paper boats are released along with floating lanterns to enable spirits to use them as guides.</p>

<p><img alt="Singapore hungry ghost festival " src="https://images.thesqua.re/blog/nIoEEaJBqPkvY1dPEuYL1pGOyhGlzjWlULRaV-hbELD7BkAmw1iZZ4Uv-nK_tCBy5Y0UcNncHeGNVeonVwEENQNfIgCY-jG4rh3I6yEYtZA0XqtheMnnULYpwhPa=s580" style="height:680px; width:1024px" title="Singapore hungry ghost festival " /> <em>Singapore Hungry Ghost Festival</em></p>

<h2><strong>Hungry Ghost Festival 2023 Singapore</strong></h2>

<p>The festival is one of the key landmarks on Singapore&rsquo;s calendar and is accompanied by several events and performances. Picture Halloween in the U.S. and you can experience something similar here in Singapore.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The island follows a tradition where spirits are appeased with offerings during the rituals. The ritualistic offerings are more under control in keeping with Singapore&rsquo;s status as one of the tidiest global cities. There are big metal bins distributed across the streets in the period leading to the festival. They are designed especially for burning paper-based offerings without creating any mess.&nbsp;</p>

<p>You will find food left in several places in Singapore. Some dishes may even be left hanging on trees or at the foot of trees for instance. The concerts make it more enjoyable for visitors. The concept behind this is that the spirits will like settling down for a good performance after having their fill of delicious offerings.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Several big tents come up along residential localities like Any Mo Kio and Yishun along with tourist spots. Enjoy vibrant dinners and entertainment options galore. The traditional form encompasses an extensive Chinese opera with legends of gods, goddesses and battles going beyond this realm.</p>

<p>The entertainment part of the celebrations is also called <em>Getai</em>. Other attractions include singers, dancers, and stand-up comedy shows. Just remember not to take anybody&rsquo;s seat.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Some parts of Singapore witness more contemporary celebrations with big stages, LED lighting, lasers, DJ performances and modern Mandarin pop concerts.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="Making The Most Of Your Weekends In Paris" src="https://images.thesqua.re/blog/uploads/2023/07/10/making-the-most-of-your-weekends-in-paris.webp" style="height:470px; width:780px" /></p>

<p>If you&rsquo;re having an extended stay in Paris, it&rsquo;s not difficult to find things to do. &nbsp;It&rsquo;s a capital city, it&rsquo;s literally teeming with possibilities but if you&rsquo;re working during the week and can only enjoy yourself at weekends then it can be difficult to choose how best to spend your time.</p>

<p>First things first. &nbsp;Get a self catering apartment in Paris that&rsquo;s as close to the action as you can be. &nbsp;Thesqua.re offers <a href="https://www.thesqua.re/paris/serviced-apartments">serviced accommodation</a> right in the heart of Paris so you can ensure you can cram in as much as possible during your stay.</p>

<p>The Eiffel Tower is a great place to start. &nbsp;Seems a little bit obvious but you&rsquo;d be surprised at the number of people who are content to picture the iconic structure from a distance rather than climb it.</p>

<p><a href="https://images.thesqua.re/blog/eiffel-tower-and-fountains.jpg"><img alt="eiffel tower and fountains" src="https://images.thesqua.re/blog/eiffel-tower-and-fountains.jpg" style="height:1079px; width:1920px" /></a></p>

<p>It&rsquo;s true, the queues to access the summit can be rather large, especially in peak season, but there is a rather sneaky way to bypass them.</p>

<p>Book a one hour tour where you will be accompanied by a host telling you about the tower in your own language. &nbsp;Not a fan of guided tours? &nbsp;You will be once you get fast track access to the second level, skipping all the queues at the base. &nbsp;Once you complete the tour on the second level you&rsquo;re free to explore the summit at your leisure.</p>

<p><a href="https://images.thesqua.re/blog/Paris_arc_de_Triomphe_place_de_lEtoile_la_nuit.jpg"><img alt="Triomphe" src="https://images.thesqua.re/blog/P5n5iYTL9RUm34SAFSFmqsW6OxoGS49rHebJjL14kKECzXcIa_jdBTW-rKtj1lLk_zS286EI_bLP6u_NLA6s0hP7jVKmc16ODulVPj57fv3--BQ" /></a></p>

<p>There&rsquo;s a similar trick for the Arc de Triomphe too. &nbsp;Book in advance and get a mobile ticket which will give you direct entry, ahead of any queues!</p>

<p>An unusual but must be seen attraction has to be the Catacombs of Paris. &nbsp;In 1774, a rather gruesome overflow incident occurred at one of Paris&rsquo;s overcrowded cemeteries. &nbsp;A wall collapsed revealing a horrific sight and afterwards a solution was sought to ensure it wouldn&rsquo;t happen again.</p>

<p>Bodies started to be buried underneath Paris in an old stone mine, six million of them to be exact, the tomb was then sealed and remained largely forgotten about until it was opened to the public in 1874. The tomb however, is only a small part of the many miles of catacombs.</p>

<p>Paris certainly has an inordinate number of museums and galleries, but what is the must see one? &nbsp;The Louvre, of course! &nbsp;It&rsquo;s impressive to look at from the outside with its glass pyramid, but inside &nbsp;it&rsquo;s one of the world&rsquo;s largest museums. &nbsp;Ensure you leave a whole day to view it, or at the very least half a day as you will need to stand in a queue for quite a while.</p>

<p>It&rsquo;ll be worth it though, the Mona Lisa, possibly the world&rsquo;s most famous artefact, resides here.</p>

<p>If you tire of wandering the city and are looking for somewhere to spend some quiet time, the Jardin du Luxembourg has to be one of the most beautiful and enjoyable attractions. &nbsp;Take a picnic, relax in the chairs and put your feet up before heading on to the next exciting attraction.</p>
