Bucket List • Harbin Ice Festival
With temperatures that reach as low as forty below zero for nearly half of the year, Harbin (the capital and largest city of Heilongjiang Province in Northeast China) is the perfect place to hold the largest ice festival in the world. Rather than suffer through the cold, the residents of Harbin celebrate it with the annual Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival, full of exquisite and artistic ice and snow sculptures and competitions.
Don't let the freezing temperatures deter you from experiencing this remarkable view that pictures just don't do justice. You’ll be so distracted by the works and too busy experiencing the thrilling ice slides, that you'll hardly notice your teeth chattering (or so we've been told).
More than 15,000 people carve (by hand or laser) more than 4 million cubic feet of ice into a few thousand pieces all created with ice from the Songhua River, and can be viewed in four primary parks and amusement zones. Not to mention all the ice architecture created throughout the city for the winter (it's everywhere you look). It's the combination of art and science that creates the elaborate and ornate ice and snow spectacle, and also a cultural event for international exchange.
Every year, there are many ice sculpture experts, artists and fans from America, Canada, Japan, Singapore, Russia, China, etc. gathering in this city to participate ice sculpting competitions, and to communicate with each other in the ice and snow world. This 2-month festival in January and February (the coldest months in Harbin) is a must-see for families, and gives a whole new meaning to the name Winter Wonderland.
The 30th Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival will officially start on January 5, 2014 and it will be celebrated till February 28, 2014. For more information visit: http://www.icefestivalharbin.com/

Tabeso v2.1 Launch!
Version 2.1 of our app launched this week, and we are excited to announce that you can now add your own personal events in Tabeso!
Do you have an ugly Christmas sweater party that you want everyone to know about? Are you home for the holidays and want to have dinner with your closest friends? Did you randomly discover a sweet “tonight only” special at a local food spot? Tabeso is your answer.
Add and share events to your Tabeso network, and even to your Facebook or Twitter friends. If you happen to have friends or family that aren’t “in” on the social front, then that’s okay as well. You can still easily send them an email or a text about your event that will have all the same information as someone viewing the app. Tabeso is the easiest and most effective way to get the word out to the people you love (or just people in general, really) about the exciting events that fill our lives.
The truth is, there has never been a central and effective place to find all the events happening around you … no matter how big or small. Event information is spread across so many different platforms that it is impossible to discover events that you didn’t even know existed. Tabeso helps bridge that gap and connects both businesses and users in a way that it hasn’t been in the past.
Learn more about Tabeso, what we're doing, and how we're doing it at tabeso.com. You can search for events, your favorite brand, team, venue and more right there on the site! Also, Keep a lookout for contests and giveaways this week as some of our biggest enthusiasts and supporters help us spread the word about Tabeso across their various social media outlets:
Shaq The Adam Carolla Show Neff Headwear Skullcandy HOB Las Vegas Orabrush Levi Maestro Sammi Sanchez
...and more.
Thanks for the support everyone! This is just the beginning :)

Bucket List • San Diego Bay Parade of Lights
With the holiday season upon us, our schedules are probably starting to fill up with events and parties that help spread the Christmas cheer. From ugly sweater parties and ice skating to live nativities and light displays--the options are endless! One event that stuck out to us here at Tabeso--puts a different spin on the classic tradition of looking at houses covered in Christmas lights. In San Diego, the boating community decorates boats instead! This year marks the 42nd annual San Diego Bay Parade of Lights, where more than 80 lavishly decorated boats will sail around Shelter Island past Harbor Island, the Embarcadero, Seaport Village, and Ferry Landing in Coronado. The theme for the boats this year is "Big Bay Toy Parade,"and all boats that participate will be judged based on originality and their creative use of decorations depicting the theme, for a chance to win prizes.
The San Diego Bay Parade of Lights is held two consecutive Sundays each year, and will be on December 8th and the 15th this year from 5:30 to 8:00 pm.
Whether you're a participant or spectator, The Parade of Lights is a fun and festive experience for all!

We Are Thankful For...
We have had a pretty stellar year here at Tabeso, and there's a lot to be thankful for...
Just over a year ago, Tabeso was a simple idea that came about on a simple bike ride. Since then, we have gained a tremendous amount of supporters, found friends and family who believed in us enough to invest, formed a dynamic team who have accomplished the impossible, released our beta version of the app that now has over 40 thousand users, formed some huge partnerships with key players and brands in the entertainment industry, got press in publications such as The Wall Street Journal, and have an official launch to the world planned very VERY soon! Wow, what a mouthful.
As you can see, we have had a lot of awesome progress this year and we have YOU to thank. Thank you for using our product. Thank you for telling your friends. Thank you for your feedback. And most of all...thank you for believing in us. We could not be more grateful for the outrageous amount of support we have received throughout this process. It's overwhelming, really. We have some big things in the works and can't wait to see what the future holds for this little dream that has turned into a big reality.
With Love, The Tabeso Team
Bucket List • Festival Of Lights
Every second of every day there are hundreds of thousands of events going on all around the world. We at Tabeso, want to help you learn about some of these amazing events that either are (or should be) on your bucket list.
Welcome to our Bucket List...
Did you know that the lantern and floating candle festival you see in the Disney movie Tangled, is actually based on a real festival that happens every year in Thailand? We didn’t either! There are actually two festivals that happen around the same time and make for one magical celebration.
Loy Krathong (Festival of Lights) is a Thai festival that happens on the full moon night of the twelfth lunar month (mid-November) when the tide in the rivers is at its highest and the moon is at its brightest. Loy Krathong stems from Buddhist beliefs and allows participants the opportunity to pay respectful thanks to Phra Mae Khongkha, the Goddess of Water for their misdeeds against her. Traditionally Thais will float ornaments—made from loaves of bread or the bark of banana trees and are decorated with banana leaves and flowers—down the rivers symbolizing the letting go of anger, hate and negative thoughts while making positive wishes for their future.
Loy Krathong celebrations can be found all throughout Thailand, however, the celebration is especially vibrant in the Chiangmai province, as it is combined with Li Peng. While Loy Krathong entails sending candles and floating ornaments out onto rivers, Yi Peng involves releasing beautiful lanterns into the sky. There is a mass release of over 10,000 lit paper lanterns that float high into the heavens and seemingly set the sky on fire. Before launching their khom loi, many people write messages, good luck wishes and prayers on them, with the hope that their misfortunes will fly away from them.
Imagine seeing both the river and sky appear on fire at the same time! Breathtaking. Be sure you plan your next asian adventure accordingly, because this is one festival you don’t want to miss!
