There’s a city bursting with energy, lights, culture and people—it’s surprisingly neither New York, Tokyo nor Singapore. This city is in a country you wouldn’t expect, the world’s 2nd largest metropolitan area, 4th largest metropolitan economy, Asia’s most livable city and the city ranked first in technological readiness in the world. South Korea’s Seoul is one of tourism’s hidden gems. This megacity does not disappoint tourists from all over the world—maybe partly due to the
EasyJet, a European low-cost airliner, is changing the aviation game yet again. Except this time, it’s not in the way you would expect. No, they didn’t create a new airplane, lower their prices or design new features for their low-cost planes. To mark their 20th anniversary, they revamped their flight attendant’s uniforms—and in a big, cool and bright way. EasyJet was created in 1995, aiming to be a low-cost, all-economy airline based in Britain’s London Luton Airport Their air

Why not go to Dubai? After being named New Years Eve’s trendiest destination in 2015, being home to the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa—the world’s only 7 star hotel and the world’s 22nd most expensive city in the world, there’s no reason not to hop on a plane and take a vacation in this fascinating city.

Especially because those new taco and champagne emojis could come in handy if you are ever staying at the New York-based Aloft Hotel. Yes, you heard right. emoji room service is here to save the 21st century.
