Internet Travel

The internet is merely fifteen or so years old, if it were human it would be adolescent, not yet educated and nowhere near grown up.

We do business with traditional companies that have celebrated their centenary and we think they are old…in internet terms, five years is old. To those of you who are over fifty and went to school when perhaps slide rules were the order of the day, perhaps lucky enough to be allowed to use a calculator toward the end of your school years….you will appreciate what has happened over recent times.

After Divorce - From Couple To Un-couple

If you are over 25 years of age, and undergoing a separation or divorce, you may feel the negative impact from being an “un-couple” in a world which embraces “couples only”. Before you were separated or divorced, a big night out for you and your husband may have consisted of dinner and a movie, with your married friends. Welcome to the “un-couple” world, where you are the “odd man out”, and perhaps unbalanced without your former partner and just plain lonely.

Shopping In Barcelona

St. Joseph Market is one of, if not the most popular markets in town. It is best known as Mercat de la Boqueria. Opened originally in 1836, it is a roofed Catalan market with interesting architecture and atmosphere, not to mention a wonderful variety of products to choose from. Here you will find reasonably priced food, flowers and handmade stuff.

If you’re traveling with children, be sure to hit up the central sidewalk of Las Ramblas Ave, almost in front of La Boqueria market. There you will see many street stalls selling all sorts of small animals from birds to lizards to hamsters and dogs. Many locals say this is quite like an American petting zoo.

The Most Amazing Variety Of Marine Life In Palau

Situated east of Philippines, the islands of Palau are a rare oasis in the Pacific Ocean. Palau’s waters life is one of the richest and the weather is beneficial so it is a great destination when it comes to scuba diving. The only major problem is that you may go scuba diving in Palau and get to meet more divers than marine life. The Japanese have few locations where they are allowed to practice scuba diving so they are usually crowded; Palau is one of them. This is why you should go for scuba diving in Palau in a period when it is less visited if you want to enjoy the beauty that lies in those waters.

Are You In The Race?

My watch runs fast. In spite of the jeweler telling me that it runs perfectly, I know that its hands spin around the dial when I’m not looking.

Time seemed to pass very slowly when I was a child. The week before we went to the circus seemed at least a month long.

When my grandmother complained about time going too fast, I thought she was a bit daft. I thought she was the best grandmother in the world, but a bit daft. I don’t anymore.

Breaks In Airport Security - 4 Stories

Some may think that after so many controls and improvement in airline security the situation is completely under control. It should, as long as some of my friends have been taken apart when arriving to the US for a register, or simply have been delayed for inspection of their bags.

Hey, I’m not blind, they really don’t look like terrorists! In any case, far from being everything running properly with so much security, things couldn’t be worse in some occasions. Here I want to introduce you to some documented studies in which bypassing airline security was made in US airports. Of course, only for educational interests!
