Travel destination recommendations

Koh Samui, Thailand

Koh Samui, which means clean island, is the third largest island in Thailand. As its name suggests, it is an impressive place with clean, clear emerald sea. It is said to be a good island to experience water sports because the sea has good conditions for enjoying marine sports. It is a resort where you can feel a little safe even if you are not good at swimming. There is no direct flight to Koh Samui, so you can arrive by domestic flight from Bangkok for about an hour. It takes about 6~7 hours in total. However, it is an island worth it. Although it is a resort, if you go near Chaweng Beach, you can enjoy a city trip with fancy resorts and open-air cafes. In addition, there are famous places where you can feel Thai traditions, such as the Big Buddha Temple, so you can feel a variety of atmospheres.

Kota Kinabalu

August, when you can enjoy cool breezes and clear skies, is the best time to travel to Kota Kinabalu, one of the world's top three sunset spots. Kota Kinabalu is a travel destination that can be reached by a 5-hour flight from Incheon, and is perfect for a short summer vacation. In addition to enjoying the beautiful sunset, you can also enjoy a rich vacation by staying at a resort hotel with a swimming pool at a low price, and you can also go on various island tours departing from Jesselton Point. In addition, if you plan a night market and firefly tour at night, you can create memories without getting bored during your trip, so don't miss this.

Don't forget to spend a romantic time lying on the wide beach of Bali and watching the sunset.

Mongolia

Vast grasslands, clear skies filled with stars, and desolate deserts! If you want to see special landscapes you’ve never seen before, head to Mongolia this summer. Since Mongolia’s winter is not open to travel due to the cold wave that hits below -40 degrees Celsius, June to August is the best time to travel to Mongolia, and it’s also the only time. Mongolian travel usually starts and ends in Ulaanbaatar, and from Ulaanbaatar, you can travel to the Gobi Desert, where you can see the stars in the sky, Lake Khovsgol, where you can experience Mongolia’s traditional culture, and Chenghe, where you can enjoy outdoor hot springs amidst vast natural scenery. In the case of Mongolia, since the tour schedule is long and the distances between attractions are far, it is recommended to plan your travel itinerary relatively generously.

Edinburgh, England

There is a place where you can enjoy the festival atmosphere throughout the entire city throughout August. It is Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland and the northern part of England. Edinburgh is the representative tourist city of England after London, and Edinburgh in August in particular is a travel destination that always attracts attention from travelers from all over the world. The reason is that the Fringe Festival, which is called the best art festival on earth, is held for three weeks in August. During the Fringe Festival, more than 3,000 teams perform a total of more than 50,000 performances throughout the city, and you will hear passionate cheers wherever you walk. You can see performances of various genres such as music, dance, comedy, and jazz, so please refer to it and enjoy the festival.

Yellowknife, Canada

How about making dreamy memories this summer by looking at the mysterious Aurora? Summer is generally known as a time when it is difficult to see the Aurora. However, Yellowknife, Canada is different. Yellowknife is a place where you can see the Aurora not only in winter but also from mid-August to early October, and Yellowknife in August has the special feature of being able to see the Aurora reflected on the unfrozen lake. In addition, Yellowknife has an old town and museum where you can experience the unique culture of the northern region of the Earth, and there are also restaurants and cafes lined up on the streets, so you can enjoy a cultural and gourmet tour during the day as well.

Marina Bay, Singapore

Marina Bay in Singapore is considered one of the most beautiful night views in the Orient. While warm-weather vacation spots are usually located along the beach, this is a place where you can enjoy a very urban vacation. It is full of hotels with spectacular views, shopping malls with a variety of fashion flagship stores, and restaurants. In particular, when you travel to Singapore, you can see the Merlion statue, which frequently appears on travel broadcasts and blogs. And July is also a time when you can enjoy special sales. You may be able to get the item you really like while walking around the shopping malls during the sale period from May to July. Oh, and if you are looking for accommodations, check out the information on three Singapore hotels with great swimming pools below.

Copenhagen, Denmark

Copenhagen in July is cool like late autumn in Korea. The average daily low is 13 degrees and the high is 20 degrees, so you can enjoy your trip without being too cold or too hot, which is why I recommend it even more. Like most Northern European countries, there is a high percentage of green space, so you can see parks wherever you go, and there are many beautiful museums and art galleries. As the weather is good in July, there are many music festivals. If your schedule allows, don't miss the night jazz concerts held on Friday and Saturday nights. As a country that values the environment, there is also a lot of interest in recycling fashion. It might be meaningful to buy clothes made of eco-friendly materials.

Hokkaido, Japan

Anyone who has been to Japan in the summer will probably shake their head. Japan is very humid, so if you travel in the summer, you will sweat a lot. However, Hokkaido is a little different. Hokkaido boasts beautiful scenery in the summer, so it is worth enduring the heat even if it is a little hot. In the summer, purple lavender flowers bloom in full bloom. The pretty flower fields, blue sky, and floating clouds create a beautiful scene. You can't help but take a picture of your life. The Sapporo Beer Festival and Jazz Festival are also held in the city center, so you can make even more happy memories.

Apple loses €13 billion tax bill in Irish EU court

Apple loses EU court battle over €13 billion Irish tax bill The ruling will give a boost to the European Commission’s efforts to crack down on ‘sweetheart’ tax deals. Business Live - Latest updates Jane Croft Tuesday 10 September 2024 13.25 BST Share Apple has lost its €13 billion (£11 billion) Irish tax dispute with Brussels. The decision will bolster the European Commission’s efforts to crack down on “preferential” tax deals that favour multinationals. The long-awaited ruling by the European Court of Justice (ECJ) follows years of legal battles over whether the European Commission was right to demand that Apple repay €13 billion in “illegal” tax breaks it paid to the iPhone maker in 2016, claiming they gave the iPhone maker an unfair advantage. The ECJ overturned Apple's lower court victory and upheld the Commission's 2016 decision that Ireland had provided Apple with unlawful assistance in relation to the tax treatment of its profits generated outside the US, which Ireland must now recoup.

Galaxy Book 4 Edge review: Samsung notebook delivers great performance but lacks battery life

The Samsung Galaxy Book 4 Edge proves that Arm-based PCs can deliver performance that can challenge the best. It’s fast, quiet, and stays on top of its performance even when unplugged. Intel or AMD-based laptops can’t quite manage that. But it falls short of its promise of long battery life. With an eight-hour battery life, it’s only about on par with Intel machines that are known to consume more power, and falls far short of Apple’s MacBooks, which last up to twice as long. The screen is great, the keyboard is decent, and the old-school trackpad is awesome. The machine is certainly thin and light, especially the 16-inch version we tested. The design, however, is a bit boring. The Galaxy Book 4 Edge is a decent machine, but it’s not a great machine. If you’re not a Samsung enthusiast and can’t take advantage of the company’s broader ecosystem of Galaxy phones and earbuds, there are better Copilot+ PC options for a similar price.
