Summer evokes different feelings and memories in

people’s hearts and minds, from commonly known summer at-

tributes like sea, sun, beach-volleyball with friends in the after-

noon and painting the town red at some open-air night-club, to

very unusual ones, for example a month of hitchhiking in the

Crimean mountains, without any sign of civilization, just you and the nature, or ex-

ploring the dense rainforest in South America, it doesn’t matter how you prefer

spending your vacation, summer is definitely the time of adventures, new revela-

tions or of re-discovery of the old ones.

If you say the word ‘summer’ to me, the first association that comes to

my mind at the moment is Paris. About two years ago I was lucky to see it in

its whole luxury and exquisiteness, and the best time for that is definitely sum-

mer. It was a European bus-tour around several countries. The inception of

this miraculous journey was Czech Republic, and it was already my second

visit to Prague, so I had an opportunity once again to eyeball one of the most

gorgeous cities in the world. Next stop was the Bavarian-to-the-core city of

Nurnberg in Germany, where you can know the world-famous Bavarian cui-

sine first hand.

By the way it conquered my heart too, and my stomach, of course. After

Nurnberg we travelled to a very quiet and cosy town of Luxemburg, which ap-

peared to be, in spite of all my misconceptions, also a very beautiful one.

Eventually, after spending a few hours there we headed for the actual target

of our trip, Paris. On arriving there we had a bus tour around the city-centre, and,

actually, it was good that we could sit because just when I saw the contours of the

real Notre-Dame de Paris, I nearly passed out. The next day in the morning we had

a walking tour where we could look more closely at this incredible cathedral and, of

course, a number of other places of great historical interest. One more remarkable

place is Versailles, it was unbelievable to imagine that centuries ago the greatest

kings of France stood at the same spot as you are.

This day we also visited Louvre and Montmartre. After that we had a

lift at the Eiffel tower and had the opportunity to admire this magnificent city

from the bird’s flight.

But still, the most memorable place in Paris for me is Disneyland. Every-

thing we see in Disney cartoons comes to real in this place, all these fairyland

streets, gardens and parks, together with fairytale creatures contribute to the impres-

sion that wonders do happen. On our way back home we had stops in different

small towns of Germany, Czech Republic and Poland. Incredible as it may seem,

but after Paris it all came as blank and plain.

To sum up, I would like to say that travelling not only broadens peo-

ple’s outlook, but also helps to shed light on some new sides of yours, new im-

pressions, feelings, that you’ve never had before. This is definitely one of the

means of achieving success for somebody who is in a constant search for them-

selves.

Summertime is the best period of a year. It always brings new emo-

tions and adventures. Once my friend said “every summer has a story” so here is his

Italian spicy story. Guys, my dear students, enjoy these 3 months to the full, thanks

for a very prolific year of hard work hope to see you soon!

A beautiful day of backpacking through Venice was coming to a close when

my buddy Mark and I decided it was time to head to the train station. Our plan was

to be in Florence by 9:00PM, grab some pizza, drink some wine, and then head to

our hostel. Unfortunately there weren't any trains heading directly to Florence, so

Mark asked at a help station how to get there.

"Well, where do we go Mark?" "Uh... Bologni or something.""We're

going to a town named after a meat?""Just check the train boards, it sounds

something like that and it leaves at 5:15."

Well lo' and behold, there it was, Bulloni! Except it was leaving at 5:10,

not 5:15, and we only had a couple minutes to make it! We ran to the train and

made it just in time, and there were even a few booths left available.

An hour or two later, the train conductor stopped by to see our tickets and

find out where we were going. "We're headed to Venice." Blank stare. "Venezia.".

"You're going the opposite direction.""Well we're going to Bulloni for a

connecting train."He stared at us like we were idiots. "I think you wanted Bologne.

Oops. By the time we got off the train and found one headed in the

proper direction, it was getting late and the number of trains was dwindling.

Around 10PM we found ourselves back in Venice. Around 2AM we pulled into

Bologne. And about 3AM, a short, portly Italian man entered our cabin, gave

us some creepy glances, and then commenced what can only be described as a

cacophony of noise sounding vaguely like a rabbit being sucked slowly through

a two inch hole. Two hours later, we took our first steps in Florence. We stayed

there for one day.

So this is how my friends made their way to an adventurous summer voca-

tion. That always puts smile on my face and I want to encourage you to pull off this

summer cause that’s 3 months without books and teachers, 92 days of total freedom,

2208 hours of complete and warm happiness 13 8480 minutes of satisfaction and

good weather and on balance 7948800 brightest seconds you can have this year. Get

a buzz out of this summer. Making memories changing life!

And make no mistake I was not in the league of its admirers despite the

fact that I have never been there. However, my curiosity eventually got a better

side of me and decided to give it a go. So, things panned out in the most sensation-

al way!

For starters, I loved every moment of it: Ephesus Archaeological Site,

Myra, Pmukkale, Cleopatra Pool and so on. Profound culture and heritage

hold sway in Turkey. I witnessed and became the part of the traditional mar-

riage ceremony and dancing (it took me a day to shake off my newly acquired

husband). I drank and tasted something that I could not imagine eating even

in my wildest dream. Take just one example: the goat’s horns. I guess now

you got my message))))

The customs that overwhelm this country abound. The origin of the dis-

tinctive flag of Turkey is the reflection on the pool of blood of the moon and the

star which helps to explain the blood-shed and conquests that Osman Empire had

to endure and propagate.

The only drawback that I have encountered was the distinctive Turk-

ish language which is disguised as the English one. In one restaurant I had to

talk to 5 waiters before I got the order I liked. It was a pervasive practice to

have English-Turkish conversations starting from the airport.

Thus, if you are still flirting with the idea of whether to go to Turkey or

not, do it! You are invited to wander and lose yourself in the beauty of this land.

You will be in for a treat!

20 selected towns were competing for the prestigious title of Best Europe-

an Destination 2012. After a three weeks’ period of online voting Porto is elected the

Best European Destination 2012 and wins the title ahead of 19 big European cities.

Vienna, Dubrovnik, Prague, Brussels, Berlin, Budapest, Lisbon, Flor-

ence and Edinburgh are the next best destinations for a holiday or city-trip in

2012.

Porto? The best place to travel in Europe!

With the variety of resources available Porto conquers all its visitors, from

those who want it for its history and authenticity, to the ones who seek to explore a

new, more cosmopolitan and contemporary city. Discovering Porto means discover-

ing what makes it different : the famous Port Wine, an Historical Centre designated

World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO, Museums, Enchanting parks and gardens,

fashion boutiques by national and international designers...

Porto gives you a bit of everything. Give it a try!

Vanishing Wonders With the changing ecosystem and global warming many places on the earth

are getting extinct. Among these a number of most beautiful natural places are also

in peril to disappear.

The travelers who love to explore world, are keen about the places prone to

disappear before the world ends.

Get to know about these top ten places to visit before they disappear and

plan an exciting tour to them as soon as possible. Here are Top 10 Places To Visit

Before They Disappear.

Victoria Falls The largest waterfalls of the world, Victoria Falls are situated between Zam-

bia and Zimbabwe. These falls are at a risk of getting dry due to climate changes.

Let’s plan a tour to Victoria Falls and enjoy its matchless beauty.

Sahara Desert Africa World’s largest hot desert Sahara in Africa is estimated to grow at a rate of

0.5 miles per month. It is assumed to consume all Northern Africa in years ahead.

So, don’t get late to travel to this interesting desert.

Great Barrier Reef Australia Great Barrier Reef in Australia is at biggest threat of climate change. It is

the world’s largest coral reef system that is now experiencing water pollution, rising

ocean temperatures and ocean acidification.

A trip to Great Barrier Reef Australia will really be treasure for travelers.

Today, the Petra is the most remarkable spot to visit before it disappears.

Petra Jordan Most inspiring ancient city of Jordan, Petra built inside towering rocks is also in

danger of damaging due to breathe of the visitors. The Nabataeans created these

rock-cut structures around 1200BC.

Today, the Petra is the most remarkable spot to visit before it disappears.

The Everglades USA The Everglades are 2.5 million–acre natural subtropical wetlands in the southern

U.S. state of Florida. These lands are continuously facing threat of farming and

water diversion that has reduced its size to half.

Have an ecotour to the Everglades to enjoy its beauty before it gets vanished.

The Dead Sea Jordan The sea of death or the salt sea is the deepest hyper saline lake in the world that is

filled with therapeutic minerals but is in extensive danger to disappear within next

50 years.

The Dead Sea is believed to be shrinking 13 inches per year therefore it could be

better to plan a visit to it.

Taj Mahal India Taj Mahal that unfolds the grandeur of Muslim art in India is facing the constant

risk of flooding due to located besides Yamuna River. Its precious white marble

façade is also blackening with air pollution and the interior is also weakening with

time. Almost three to four million tourists visit Taj Mahal every year to admire its

magnificence.

The Valley of Kings Egypt The Valley of Kings in Egypt is at risk to disappear within 150 to 500 years due to

humidity and fungus that is eroding the tombs gradually and also the increasing

tourism is causing more damage to the tombs at west bank of the Nile.

The Maldives The Maldives is most prone to risk of extinction due to global warming because it

is the lowest-lying country in the world. If the ice caps will melt, the sea level will

rise too much to inundate the land.

Venice Venice, known as “City of Water” or “The Floating City” has been sinking slowly

but the rising sea levels have worsened the situation. Floods also keep hitting the

Venice making visitors wonder that how long it would stay over water.

The research conducted by Art Glenberg from Arizona University spells out

that your own conscience can be influenced by a number of simple exercises. Take

just one example, if during the conversation you are holding a cup of warm coffee or

tea you become more emotional and open. So, if you need your audience to favour

you, offer them some refreshments! Here are a number of tricks to aid you to gain a

better footing in life.

Goal 1: to look more confident The recipe: place yourself in an armchair with one hand on the arm of the

chair and the other on the back. Keep your legs crossed and hold an upright back.

Really, the more space you take, the more likely is that you will send a mes-

sage of confidence and poise. There was conducted a very simply experiment to vali-

date this theory. The various rank employees were seated in the room and a panel of

outsiders had to identify the hierarchy of this organisation. All observers in unison

selected the cleaner, who had an above-mentioned posture, as a General Manager!

Goal 2: to prevent a scandal The recipe: Nod your head as if you are agreeing with something.

Indeed, this is a very calming gesture that will pacify your opponent in no

time and will ease his/her frustration and impatience even if you are not going to give

any ground away.

Goal 3: brainstorming The recipe: Hold an edge of the table with only your thumb on top of it.

Make an effort as if you are going to lift it.

Such a gesture activates the part of your brain responsible for the creative

thinking and kick starts the generation of the ideas. Vice versa, if you press the table

downside, you automatically switch off your ingenuity.

Goal 4: to concentrate The recipe: Doodle. This simple exercise that is frowned upon in schools and

universities fosters attention spans and helps to digest the received information. Sci-

entists have proved that doodling betters your concentration on 30%.

Goal 5: to cope with a problem or the task The recipe: Make a few steps backwards

The experiment showed that people who were offered some test took a few

steps backwards and received much better results following this pattern. Scientists

believe that this action activates the brain as it urges it to see a full picture.

I guess that knowing this basic stuff you can afford to negotiate your fu-

ture and overcome any bumps on the road.

Gemini (22 May – 22 June)

You may consider yourselves happy-go-lucky favourites of fortune –

as if in fairy tale all your wishes will come to fruition, all life situa-

tions will twist in your favour and money will be dogging you! The

first and foremost is to take advantage of such generosity.

Cancer ( 22 June—22 July)

Devote the beginning of the summer to taking care of your own happi-

ness. It looks as if you will be made an irresistible offer and every-

thing will hang just on your: “Yes!”

Leo (22July—22 August)

Start your summer with vacations. The stars aligned the way that

your productivity is much to be desired, so don’t let your efforts go

down the drain – explore the seaside!

Virgo (22 August – 22 September)

June gives ample opportunities to pamper yourselves. However, start-

ing from the beginning of July, the time of indulgence will be over

and you will work by the sweat of the brow and will even make good

money!

Libra (22 September – 22 October)

My advice is to combine long-expected holidays with acquisition of

new knowledge and aesthetic satisfaction. The outcome of the trip can

be a long-term romantic involvement with the foreigner, the founda-

tion for which will be underpinned by common understanding and

interests.

Scorpio (22 October- 22 November)

The first half of the summer will keep you from having any rest: all

efforts have to be channelled at the development of your own busi-

ness. To your credit, you will be able to set everything the way that all




Go

.Sagittarius (22 November – 22 December)

Don’t rush into holiday-making as you will be busy with setting on the

right path your personal life. Venus will not only favour you in finding

your partner but will also help in fortifying your relationships. The main

thing is not to let it go. Travelling will do you good too but preferably to

the home seas!

Capricorn (22 December – 22 January)

To accomplish the aim you set for yourselves, you will have to undergo a

lot of tedious and monotonous work. Nevertheless, the settlement of

professional queries will not prevent you from success in the personal

life. There is even a possibility of a looming work romance

Aquarius (22 January – 22 February)

Commit yourself to creativity this summer. It is high time you wrote,

composed or painted something even if you have never had a fixation

on this before. In July there is a likelihood of appearance in your life of

a person you will have to care for the rest of your life!

Pisces (22 February – 22March)

You will kick start your summer with love frustrations and will end it

with a new crush. You will manage to feel a kaleidoscopic amount of

emotions just throughout these three months.

Aries (22 March – 22 April)

The best part of the summer will be spent in a fuss and rush. You will

have new meetings, acquaintances and many promises. On balance, you

will not have a single minute to spare.

Taurus (22 April – 22 May)

To make good money you will have to do some elbow grease. Even if

you are not too willing to do it, you will be left no other choice but to

comply. Think about how you can go on a shopping spree afterwards.
