When one is interested in travel, it is impossible not to be in contact with foreign languages. There are many beautiful languages in the world – and unfortunately also some who did not feel right in my ears.

addition to my own Scanian tongues I speak the American version of English pretty decent and can handle myself better than most in German. I can handle the Cyrillic alphabet well enough to read signs, etc. in Russian, and although I have not studied Spanish, I have picked up enough over the years to hold a simple conversation.

But one of those dreams where I is to learn a language that “no one” can be but are still useful in the world. I myself have realized that the most intelligent choice would have been Spanish but that can be anybody else. Thailand had also been fun to be able to boast, but it falls to the alphabet consists of 76 letters, where no one is near that resemble ours. Should I learn a language, I would be able to read and write it too, not just able to speak and understand a bit.

Then I found the idea of Dutch (Netherlands). Certainly not as prevalent in the world but quite original and also somewhat similar to Swedish, at least in terms of written language.

I have a Dutch friend on facebook and when she writes, you can sometimes understand without even an effort. So here she wrote the other week: “Winter ice waanzin, half day vrijnemen voor een uur effectieve surftijd.” One need not directly be rocket scientist to understand what she means but to be sure I will still translate: “Winter is a nonsense, take charge half the day for an hour of surfing time efficient.”

So it will perhaps take an evening course in Dutch to keep your brain in shape.

Here’s a list of languages which, in my opinion, not particularly beautiful:

first British English. Their protracted diphthongs makes me crazy. It is enough to listen to Oasis to understand what I mean.

second Finnish. For me it is incomprehensible that the Finns even understand each other when they talk.

The month of November is not really a big shot weather-wise. At least not if you are on the Scanian latitudes. This time of year, the wind picked up, making the rain coming in horizontally and wetting one’s clothes no matter what kind of umbrella you have. Yes, some days it’s not even worth trying to use an umbrella. A gust of wind in the wrong direction, then you are left with the sheet itself inside out like a cone and a lot of metal ribs that look like Trees and Young Trees.

Lucky then that there are travel sites to console himself with. I saw just now at Travel Guide site that lists the world’s five best beaches. I checked the course through the list and stated that I had just been bathed in one of them. It looks to me as a healthy sign. It is good that the world is so big that you will never have been “everywhere”.

But I thought I’d actually bid on his own five-to-top list of beaches I’ve been to. To make matters more interesting I do contrary to the Travel Guide and the list starts with number five.

Not as many tourists resorts and free from any types who want to “be just like home” with food in the restaurants and the opportunity to buy at 7-Eleven. Do not move out of the hired sun bed all day is absolutely fine. There are plenty of restaurants located on the beach and the competition for customers is high, so prices are kept low. The waiters of the restaurants serve a full term and when it’s time to go home for the day, you pay what you ate and drank during the day in a lump sum.

Depending on which way the wind blows, it can sometimes be quite firmly by debris in the water. A big minus also for all the ten-year kids who are on the beaches and try to foist on us a lot of tourists mog. I happened to buy a papaya for a small girl (pigs expensive really, given that it had received four bottles of beer for the same price but I felt sorry for her) and immediately spread the rumor, which meant I had 15 kids around me within five minutes.

Rumor has it that the blind man who walks around with a guide dog and Stevie Wonder Glasses on the beach, begging for money is not really blind. Best way to check this is well to throw a toad handball against him and see if he dodges or not. Dodges he does not, I admit that the rumor is not telling the truth – and escape from the place. Handball can I download another time in this case.

To have a bath at one of the world’s most famous beaches is enough for many who need to get to Copacabana. Here you will experience the Brazilian beach life at its very best. If you want to suck in a Caipirinha or eat chicken, there are a variety of places. And it is never too far to the samba rhythms, beach volleyball or other gimmicks either.

It is crowded between Brasse chairs. In particular, shallow, it is not, and crystal clear water is hard to find anywhere else.

quiet and beautiful lagoon is hard to find. It’s no coincidence that the film “The Beach” was filmed right here. A perfect beach if you want to unwind and just relax for a few hours.

Maya Beach is located on the small of the two Phi Phi.

Earlier this month, Italy introduced more than 150 more or less under the property laws for “public safety”, which was met with surprise by both tourists and the Italian press. One of the laws applicable in Vigevano, near Milan, and forbids people to sit in the shade at the foot of a local monument, which recently was an unpleasant surprise for a local couple, who were fined? 160 each for having sat down for a moment to rest in the shade.
