Why Copenhagen? Copenhagen is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Denmark. Pretty, compact and welcoming city, especially for pedestrians and bikers and because of the beach areas in and around the city. Beaches here are classified as some of the finest and cleanest in Europe. Many of the beaches in the city have been awarded the Blue Flag which guarantees clean water of high quality. Most beaches in Copenhagen have fine sand and shallow water.

There are a number of beaches you can choose from, including:

Hellerup  beach is some 100 meters long with clear blue water and pure white sand.

Bellevue beach is usually very crowded. But you’ll love the white sand and the clear blue water.

Amager Beach Park, is the beach closest to Copenhagen.

Helgoland Baths, that was founded in 1913 is an all together different experience. Ladies entrance on one side of the charming baths and gentlemen on the other and no swimsuits. Entrance fee.

Copenhagen is located on the eastern shore of the island of Zealand and partly on the island of Amager. Copenhagen faces the resund to the east, the strait of water that separates Denmark from Sweden, and that connects the North Sea with the Baltic Sea. On the Swedish side of the sound directly across from Copenhagen, lie the towns of Malmö and Landskrona.

and also Copenhagen ia a part of the resund region, which consists of the eastern part of Zealand in Denmark and the western part of Scania in Sweden with a large network of toll-free highways and public roads connecting different municipalities of the city together and to Northern Europe. As in many other cities in Europe traffic is increasing in Copenhagen. The radial arterial roads and highways leading to the Copenhagen city center are critical congested during peak hours.

BeiHai Park, in central beijingclose to the Forbidden City, is one of the oldest and most authentically preserved imperial gardens in China.

BeiHai Park has a history of over 1,000 years. BeiHai Park has existed throughout the Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.

White Dagoba

On top of the Jade Flowery Islet, the White Dagoba was built in 1651 on the former site of the Palace in the Moon where Kublai Khan received Marco Polo. At the suggestion of a famous Tibetan lama, Emperor Shunzhi, the first emperor of the Qing Dynasty agreed to build such a Tibetan dagoba to show his belief in Buddhism and his desire for the unification among various Chinese ethnic groups. The White Dagoba was destroyed in an earthquake and reconstructed twice. Now, resting on a huge stone base, it stands 35.9 meters (about 118 feet) high and is capped by two bronze umbrella-like canopies, with 14 bronze bells hanging around them. Inside, the dagoba holds the Buddhist Scriptures, the monk’s mantle and alms bowl and two pieces of Sarira. Since the White Dagoba is the highest point in Beihai Park, it served as a vantage point with a beautiful view of the whole park.

In front of the White Dagoba is the White Dagoba Temple. There are several other buildings and halls you could visit if you have enough time. These include Zhengjue Hall, the Bell and Drum Towers, the Stone Tablets of ‘Qiongdao Chunyin’ (means the beautiful scenery of the Jade Flowery Islet in spring; inscribed by Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty) etc, all scattered on the slope of the Qionghua Islet.

Five-Dragon Pavilions

To the southwest of the Nine-Dragon Screen lies the Five-Dragon Pavilions - five connected pavilions with spires and pointed upswept eaves. From a distance, they appear together like a huge dragon. Built first in 1602 and repaired several times in Qing Dynasty, these five pavilions, half over the water, stand on the north bank of the lake opposite the Jade Flowery Islet. There are many exquisite carvings and paintings on the girders and pillars of the pavilions which make the Five-Dragon Pavilions a delightful place for the royal members in ancient China to relax and appreciate the natural beauty.

You can stand in the Five-Dragon Pavilions to see the Jade Flowery Islet with the gleaming White Dagoba standing in the exuberance of trees, flowers and various other plants. There are also many other worthwhile places to visit around the Five-Dragon Pavilions including the Heavenly King Hall, Chengguan Hall and the Temple of Little Western Skies, a famous Buddhist architecture.

Quiet Heart (Jingxin) Studio

After visiting the Eastern Shore Area, stepping westward, you will be at the Northern Shore Area. Lying to the east of this area, the Quiet Heart Studio is the most famous independent garden within Beihai Park. It was initially built in Ming Dynasty (1368 - 1644) and enlarged in Qing Dynasty. Inside the studio, there are many magnificent palaces, halls, pavilions, towers, corridors and artificial hills, numerous odd-shaped porous rocks and stones, all artistically arranged. During Qing Dynasty, some of the royal members used to rest or study here.

While visiting these famous and interesting places in Beihai Park, you could have a meal and rest in Fangshan Restaurant located at the northern shore of the lake. This restaurant was started in 1925 by a cook who formerly worked in the Qing court, so the food there is said to be of delicious imperial flavor.

Besides these places of interest in Beihai Park, there are plenty of exhibitions to see. These include the yearly exhibition of water lilies and other water plants in the Botanical Garden, the exhibition of peonies, and varied picture shows, making Beihai Park not only the center of history and culture in Beijing, but also the center of ecological and natural beauty. Now, an ancient but modern Beihai Park welcomes you from all over the world.

Andrew Gibson asked:


Albania is one of the first Christian countries of Europe. As a result it is the original place of the Western European civilization. Albania is located on the eastern shores of the Adriatic Sea, with Serbia to the north, Macedonia to the east and Greece in the south. You can say it is a little bigger than Maryland. It is around 100 km from Italy from the Strait of Otranto. Albanian nun Mother Teresa is no doubt the most famous Albanian women in the world of today.

It is worth discovering Albania which many people consider the last concealed corner of Europe. The mountains here are a breathtaking setting to a rugged coastline. It has got a very rich architectural inheritance as a result of 2,000 years of rule by the Greeks, Romans, Italians and Turks. It makes a wonderful holiday spot with its Mediterranean climate and warm people. You can find a daily link by ferry from the port of Durras to Bari, Italy.

The per capita income of Albania is maybe the lowest in Europe. However it is improving with its economic integration into European Union markets. Many holiday makers rent holiday villas and find them a great way to spend their vacations in Albania.

You will need a passport for your holiday with a validity of six months or more. You don’t need a visa; an entry stamp will be issued at the point of entry which is valid for a stay of up to 90 days for a fee of ten Euros. You can get more information at the Albania Embassy for the most current visa information.

It is generally the people who live nearby are the ones who prefer to visit Albania than to go on a holiday to a country they don’t know much about. Every year thousands of holiday makers make day-trips from Corfu to see the extraordinary archaeological complex at Butrint. People who have visited Italy a number of times can make a trip to Albania.

But there is just no reason you can not make Albania your main holiday destination. The country is full of interesting things to see and places to visit, and the best part is it remains unspoilt by tourism. In case you are planning a trip to Albania, it will be a good idea to visit Tirana. The museums in the capital city have the best of the country’s archaeological and historical inheritance. You will also be able to travel all over the country from hare.

You may find the major roads in Albania in a very poor shape but are being improved as the economy grows. There are buses through out the day between major cities and they are a good way of exploring this wonderful country.

Albania has beautiful old cities, lovely beaches, spectacular mountains, and fascinating archaeological sites. Its people are loyal and hospitable, its flora and fauna varied and rare, and its food and wine are delicious. The place is stunning and cheap, people are friendly and Southern Albania is breathtaking. Many holiday makers to Albania choose to rent holiday villas and use them as a base to explore this great country.

PattayaNewbie asked:


Pattaya is located on the eastern shore of the Gulf of Thailand approximately 150km from Bangkok and 125km Bangkok’s international airport. Travel time from the airport is one and a half hours. The road is good now that roadworks are nearly completed.

 

Pattaya was a small fishing village until US serviceman began arriving on R&R breaks from the Vietnam War via the nearby U-Tapao airport. With their arrival the bar scene that is present today began to develop.

 

Pattaya ladies come in all shapes and personalities. You are sure to find one (every night) to your liking.

 

Pattaya ladies go either long time (LT) or short time (ST.) This basically refers to the length of time that she goes with you for.

 

Typically ST is about one or two hours. It is more or less equivalent to what you would get from the working girls at home. In this time you can *** once or twice or maybe more if you are lucky. If you are in a ST bar they will have rooms available for this purpose. If elsewhere you will need to go back to your hotel with her or find a ST room at further expense to you.

 

Long time is typically over-night. Some ladies may leave as early as 7am (which is not good service) or mid-afternoon. Some are very difficult to get rid of at all!! Early afternoon is about the normal time if the lady you have taken is fair.

 

Some people like only ST and some only LT but most do both. Many guys will have a ST during the day and then take a LT that night. What you do is up to you.

 

A variation on the LT is the girl friend experience (GFE.) This is LT taken to the extreme. Where LT ends and GFE starts is open to debate. You’ll know when you are in a GFE when you are with her for 24 hours every day (or near to it) and she has a stash of clothes and other things in your room.

 

There is nothing wrong with GFE and it has benefits. However it has its dangers as you and/or her may become too attached. If you don’t want this implement the ‘3 day rule.’

 

Pattaya ladies usually come from a poor rural family with a sense of obligation to provide for their families. They come to Pattaya after hearing stories of ladies coming and making lots of money. They also have heard about how ladies come and meet a rich farang to look after them and their family. Most come with the idea of marrying a nice man to release them from their obligations that are placed on them by their family.

 

Unfortunately the reality of Pattaya is rather different. Perhaps they meet a man that they think is good. He promises her many great and grand things. He goes home with the promise of coming back to marry her but she never hears from him again. Perhaps she hears and sees similar things from the ladies that she is working with.

 

The result of this is that many ladies quickly take the view that farang men are theirs to take as much money from as possible. This will suit guys who only go to Pattaya for a couple of weeks. They can just go and have fun and not have to worry too much about attachments. However, this situation is full of traps for those who are unaware of the situation. Don’t be one of those guys!

 

There is no doubt some good ladies in Pattaya but being a newbie don’t go there looking for one. The sharks are just waiting for you and they are good at what they do.

 

Interesting in learning more about Pattaya and the ladies of Pattaya? Pattaya Newbie gives information of subjects like Pattaya ladies, Pattaya bars and other general information.

Maggie Nguyo asked:


Kenya has many attractions ranging from the natural beauty of the Kenya Highlands, crowned by Mount Kenya’s icy peak, to the golden, sandy beaches on its Eastern shores, and the exotic African wildlife that can’t be found on any other continent.

Mount Kenya - The Central Highlands One of the top attractions of Kenya’s natural landscape is this extinct Volcano that rises 5,199 metres high and is located a few hundred kilometres North of the Equator. It is said that the Kikuyu god ngai resides in the mountain. Despite its proximity to the Equator, Africa’s second highest mountain has permanent glaciers at its frosty peak. The area around the mountain is the protected Mount Kenya National Park, a popular tourist destination for wildlife watchers.

Hells Gate Hells Gate is a National Park in a province of Kenya known as the Rift Valley. The park is famous for its natural geysers and hot springs. There is a gorge walk with spectacular views and plenty of wildlife viewing and bird watching opportunities throughout the area. Campsites and picnic trails litter the areas in and around the park and adventurers can take advantage of rock climbing, hiking and biking. In addition to the natural wonders of the Rift Valley, at Hells Gate you can experience another of the attractions in Kenya - the wonderful singing and dancing of the Maasai, and enjoy jewellery making demonstrations as you explore this ancient culture.

Rusinga Island In Western Kenya, at the Eastern point of Lake Victoria, is an elongated piece of land about 10 miles long known as Rusinga Island, linked to the mainland by a causeway. The ancestors of this small area fled Uganda hundreds of years ago. Today descendents of the Ugandan Suba people are farmers who raise fish, as well as staples like maize and millet. The cool breezes that blow off the waters of Lake Victoria are welcome to swimmers and boaters who enjoy Rusinga’s beautiful black sands and calm waters.

Kenyan Coast Perhaps one of the most overlooked attractions in Kenya to safari seeking tourists is the Kenyan coastline. On Kenya’s South Eastern edge, the warm waters of the Indian Ocean gently lap beautiful white sandy beaches. Here you will find the waters teeming with exotic marine life and spectacular coral reefs. Look out over the calm waters and you can almost spell the spices that linger through the centuries old trade routes with Arabia and India. Remnants of the Arab and Portuguese forts capture your imagination and hark back to medieval times when life here was tinged with the exploits of foreigners looking to make their fortunes from exporting spices, silks and exotic wares from foreign lands.
