China has recently reported a large oil spill in its history with an exploded crude oil pipeline exploding and sending gallons of oil into the yellow sea. The huge flames that it caused has drawn attention of environmentalists around the world towards Dalian and the reputation of this city is now at stake. Even though it is quite early to comment on the hazards because of the immediate effect of this oil slick into the marine life, the fact that it has created a lot of pollution and will require drastic measures for controlling, cannot be neglected.

As other beaches in Dalian continue their tourism and other festivals reporting that these beaches have not been infected by the slick, officials in China have started working on cleaning out the waters and trying to stop the spread of this infestation. Greenpeace China, an environmentalist group has confirmed that the spread of this oil spill has been close to 450 square kilometers and atleast one death has been reported so far due to a cleaner drowning in the crude oil covered waters. Only one resort has been reported to be shut down temporarily and other beaches have been warned of the spread.

Thailand is a nice for new couples to spend honeymoon,but,there are something both of us need to pay attention to,and here are some tips :

Be weary of people, both foreign and Thai, with elaborate hard luck stories or offers of incredible business deals. Always keep important valuables locked away in your hotel safe.

Do not carry a lot of cash on you and always keep your money and wallet in a hard to reach place. There are many pick pockets operating in Pattaya and be extra careful of groups of ladies when on a baht bus and also of the lady boys who approach you. If a lady boy comes up to you or brushes against you then the first thing you should do is check your pockets and make sure nothing is missing.

Be careful picking up freelancers especially at the late night discos as some of these girls have been known to drug a foreigner once back at his hotel and then leave with all his valuables and money.

You may want to carry around a copy of your passport, but not the original, with you.

Do not drink the tap water and avoid ice (tap water) been added to your drink in the bars.

Join the forum and try to hook up with other fellow travellers to show you the ropes and also good to have a wing man to shoot the breeze while on the ‘hunt’ for a date.

You will find that Thailand is a very tolerant country with many happy positive people who will treat you with respect and you will have a great holiday, there are still some important rules which as a visitor to a foreign land you will need to follow. Failure to do so and your dream holiday could turn into a nightmare.

Do NOT take drugs and even more important DO NOT sell drugs. If caught selling drugs you could be sentenced to death though most foreigners get 25 to 50 years jail sentences in terrible third world prisons with no possibility of parole. That is you will serve the full term of your sentence in squalid conditions even if it’s your first offense.

DO NOT make any negative comments about the Thai Royal family. The Thai king is very much loved and respected and any negative comments would result in jail time or worse beaten up by a mob.

Do NOT make negative comments about Buddha, Thai culture or traditions.

DO NOT get in an argument or fight with anyone in Thailand, especially if it a Thai man. Most Thai men are generally built smaller than us foreigners but if you get in a fight with one then irrespective of who is at fault, all Thai men within eye shot will join in and side with the Thai man and you end up trying to fight off a mob who have no problem using sticks, knifes, helmets, iron bars or anything they can lay their hands on at that moment to inflict great harm to yourself. If a Thai man creates a problem, swallow your pride, smile and walk away because if things boil over then it will never be fair fight.

Do NOT get involved in arguments or fights involving other people even if they are foreigners involved. This is true but the sad case in Pattaya that trying to help others in can result in the same people you were trying to help turning on you and you end up the victim of an assault or accused of starting the fight!

The Age of Consent in Thailand is 18. Failure to comply with this will result in severe prison sentences when caught and your face and name will be broadcast on national news channels and newspaper both in Thailand and abroad.

Do NOT overstay your visa. Failure to do so may result in jail time if you are stopped for whatever reason and found to be on an expired visa.

DO NOT Gamble. Gambling, including online gambling, is illegal in Thailand and if caught can result in hefty fines.

Take great care when renting a motorbike in Thailand. Many tourists get killed on the roads in Thailand while driving a motorbike. UK figures alone show that at least 1 British tourist is killed every other day in Thailand due to a motorbike accident. If you do decide to ride a motorbike in Thailand then always wear a helmet as required by Thai law.

The voice of the sea speaks to the soul. We have all had amazing experiences at the beach. We can never get bored of a beach vacation as it has so much to offer every time.

Almost everyone turns into a kid and enjoys on the beach side.Be it a short weekend getaway or a slightly long vacation, a beach is always a perfect destination. Friends, family and even kids can be taken along for a vacation. Unlike some decades before, there are a wide variety of entertainment options on the beach which attract more people every year. Summer and spring time vacations are mostly spent on some exotic beaches in far away islands. The physical atmosphere and the calm natural beauty help both your mind and body.

Once you decide to go on a beach vacation, it is very important to pack all your sun block sprays, creams and sun protection items. Though sun bathing and tanning are some obvious activities you will look forward to, excess exposure to sun can become harmful and hazardous to your skin. Special spa centers,parlors and aroma massage outlets give your body extra treatment and care.

Some couples also spend a little extra and chill out on the sands of private beaches. These are much secluded and free when compared to popular beaches. Many restaurants and resorts have sprung up near the beach and they provide excellent service to the visitors. They also have baby care centers to take care of your child when you are having fun on the beach.

One other major attraction of a beach holiday is the aromatic, natural tropical food. Fresh fruits, vegetables and rare sea food varieties make many foodies search for and visit beaches. Fishes are found and instantly cooked for with interesting flavors. Water sports and activities have many adventurous couples come running back to the beaches. Kayaking, rafting, sailing, surfing, snorkeling, scuba diving, parasailing, jet skiing, water skiing, wind surfing and cruising are just some of the many water sports found in many beaches. Families and friend groups flock the beaches with these wide fun options. Beaches are very affordable and enjoyable vacation options and anyone with a beach nearby can count himself lucky. Regular visits and picnics to the seaside can have your body and soul refreshed and relaxed from everyday pressure and tension.

Pack your shorts, beach wear and tons of sun screen lotions and hit the road.

Given this fact, it’s time to cherish what little time we have left to enjoy summer and book a sightseeing tour. Because there are so many places to go on one of our package tours, I’ve decided to let you in on some of  more popular tours as we wind down the warm summer months:

Take a sightseeing tour in San Francisco and enjoy a spectacular view from Fisherman’s Wharf where you’ll get a chance to sample some of the finest seafood on the planet. Want some advice? Try the clam chowder in a bread bowl and top it off with a delicious shrimp salad sandwich. Then head on over and see the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island, where some of the nation’s most notorious criminals once resided and more.

Well don’t go onto the titles, we are not talking about the literal venomous snakes that you would be served as a cuisine when getting onto a tour of Bali. Actually snake fruit is one of the tropical fruits found in Bali, often the most delicious one. It is named as snake fruit because it’s covered with scales, red- brownish in color, which look like snake skin from a distance and is always the oddest looking fruit you’ll ever come across.

The Salak is basically a fruit which is just about the size of a ripe fig and the shape of the salak is also quite similar to it. However, it is round and has a discrete tip which has to be held and peeled off to remove the edible pulp of the fruit. The interior of the fruit has three lobes with a large seed that is unpalatable. One would definitely find the lobes similar to the peeled garlic cloves.

Salak plant needs high temperature and humidity throughout the year and also high and continuous water requirement. Due to this requirements, Salak plantations in Bali are concentrated in central and east Bali especially Karangesm Regency, especially in the southern slope of the region.

Los Roques Island is amongst the very best of the best of the Caribbean islands, located 160kms north of the central coast of Venezuela. It consists of 40 coral islands sprinkled along with hundreds of smaller islets, sandbanks and flat sandy cays. The Los Roques archipelago comprises of a great variety of beaches, with regards to rock formations and types of sand.

The isolated Los Roques archipelago encompasses 340 islands and is surrounded by about 2kms or 1.2 miles of a range of over 250 coral reefs. With numerous beaches, the place is a haven for tourists to put their feet up and savor the sun and sand in style. Perfect for fishing, diving and snorkeling, Los Roques is a place waiting to be discovered.

Primarily, a bone fishery, Los Roques also provides great opportunities for snook, baby tarpon and permit during certain times of the year. Furthermore, it is place renowned for its small wade able flats which present wonderful fishing prospects for decent sized tailing fish and for the beach fishing where the bonefish lie, just off the beaches in order to raid the baitfish. With the option of operating the traditional Pinero boats or their keys-type, flat skiffs, they can access water and hence a variety of species and types of fishing which a Pinero cannot such as stalking schools, pods, or singles.

In the Los Roques archipelago, time has almost reached a stand-still, its natural beauty sustained, wild and exotic, surrounded by a special magic that enraptures everyone including its homegrown people and their way of living. The islands are famous for their diversity of marine fauna including parrotfish, red snapper, dolphin, octopus, shark, barracuda, and the almost-extinct queen conch.

Los Roques Island is practically unknown to the tourists, more than ever when compared with its well-marketed neighbors, Bonaire and Curacao. It is one of the few virgin paradises left in the Caribbean, offering an isolated Caribbean, with sea birds, and several beaches bathed by crystal clear waters, turquoise color, beckoning for a quick dip, after a nice walk under the radiant sun on the almost surreally white sand.

To rest and recover from the stroll on the beachside, you can find a cozy nook, where, besides relaxation and attention to the tourists, you can embark on an excursion in small fishing boats to inhabited islets. However, to maintain the extremely natural environment of Los Roques there are no big hotel chains, so as to preserve the natural beauty of the place. Its varied and interesting fishing combined with a prolific birdlife, good quality lodging, and a serene island atmosphere that will remain etched in the mind for a long, long time, makes the lengthy trip worthwhile.

This mini micro bikini is technically a one-piece swimsuit with the heart of a bikini. From the front you see a slingshot style bikini that ties halter style around her neck with strings. The strings travel down her chest and widen to cover her boobs displaying her amazing cleavage. Then they come together to form a “V” just below her belly button.

As the bikini travels between her legs to form the back it turns into a classic bikini bottom with strings that wrap back around front to tie securely. It sounds pretty complicated so luckily you can just look at the pictures.

A quick look at the sexy pictures of the busty bikini model shows how this unique mini micro bikini looks like a slingshot one-piece from the front and a topless one piece from the back. It’s fun to keep them guessing

Mexico has turned into a city which is witnessing lots of hygiene as well as environmental problem as the air and water in the city have really gotten polluted. The levels of pollution have risen above the normal ones and can prove to be really harmful and are already taking tolls at the health of individuals there.

If you happen to be a tourist who would love to get a dip at the pacific coast at Mexico, you would probably want to read a bit further.

If you are concerned with the quality of the beach water at the beach you’re about to visit, then it is recommended that you contact the tourism department for beach water reports and avoid swimming in questionable waters.

Many beaches along the Pacific coast of Baja California are not suitable for swimming. Red beach flags are clear indications that you must not swim, but under varied systems in use in Baja, so are yellow, green and blue flags. The only real go-ahead sign is a white flag – and even then, remember there are no lifeguards – and often beaches may not be marked at all. Do not interpret the absence of a beach flag to mean conditions are safe.
