| Oh, I’ve heard too many myths about hospitality… However, this article almost made me believe in Georgians’ warmth, as the author claims to have gotten its first taste within a half hour of arrival. Read about old and new churches, great food, a lot of history, and awesome people – in other words, my next destination to see!

| Visiting Paradise |

| I’ve always wanted to visit a place like this, where it seems like you can’t look anywhere without seeing birds and bumping into exotic animals or "paradise" type beaches you find in movies. The drivers are pretty wild in Costa Rica, but who cares? It’s a stunning place, and no wonder some people never came back after going there as tourists!

| Oooooo! This is a great description of a formidable visit to France, including the splitting and roasting of a whole pig. Ha-Ha!!! With lots of fun and good quality pictures, BTW. A completely different lifestyle and culture.

| A bunch of boy-scouts to Hungary |

| Why would one during a hot summer go on a trip to Hungary and not Turkey, or Crimea? Anyway, if you chose not to go to the seaside, you still can sun-bathe on a lake beach for a day of two and even ride the banana or jet-sky, like this bunch did on the Tisza lake. But there is a lot to see and enjoy, spiced up with the experience of camping.

| From Hungary to allover Romania to Spain |

realtravel.com) |
| This is a pretty long, but very entertaining account on a bike tour from Hungary trough it’s awesome Budapest, then crisscrossing all over Romania’s old cities and beautiful landscapes and ending up in the gorgeous city of Sevilla, Spain. All this filled with many pleasant and less pleasant surprises, like the robbery at the Turkish baths and more.

| Tokyo and Yokohama |

| This article really made me think how come in a place as big as Tokyo is, 90% of the streets in have no names. It’s quite a challenge to find places like the fish market, the Kabuki Theatre, the Sensoji Temple, which is said to be the oldest in Tokyo, and my favorite part – to go to a Japanese football game. Miriam Nadel made it through, could you?

| Title: Ukraine Travelogue - Kiev Village |

| Looking like a tourist can be dangerous, while in Ukraine. You risk getting fooled by taxi drivers, but you’ll forget about it when you wake up in the beautiful Ukrainian countryside, surrounded by windmills, traditional churches, and old looking houses. I must agree to this article’s author: I could easily imagine being quite happy there.

| The Coolest Hotel in Canada - January 2003 |
| Submitted by roxy on
2006-11-17 01:37:03 (via
www.xenophilia.net) |
| I didn’t know Canada had the kind of hotel, where you get a huge block of ice instead of a bed, and you’re beverages are served in a glass made entirely of ice, as well. I’m surprised this article’s author actually got some sleep in such conditions, but I bet she was even more surprised to find her tooth paste frozen solid in the morning!

| Limska Draga Bike Tour |
| Submitted by cleo on
2006-11-17 01:25:41 (via
www.trekearth.com) |
| This looks like a bicycle tour in the country side of Croatia. I found it attractive: kazuns (small, round shepherd shelters) along the road, the picturesque town of Tinjan with macadam roads, the ascending and descending cart-roads on the slopes of the beautiful Limska Draga valley. Hmm… so many different roads!

| My Trip to Holland |

| Holland – a flat country with a constant wind, legendary old and now modern wind-mills and numerous canals with bascule bridges. I also enjoyed learning about the finest Dutch cigars, the remarkable Erasmus Bridge – hope to see it one day, and more.
