The Sydney Opera House

"I like to be on the edge of the impossible", said John Utzon, the Danish architect who was responsible for designing the Sydney Opera House. On my recent visit to Australia I toured the world- renowned landmark. I learned that its construction and design was indeed a story of someone achieving 'the impossible', but it is also a story of dreams and relationships broken and restored.

The Sydney Opera House is a World Heritage Site because so many of the architectural methods and engineering techniques used to build it were completely new and were created expressly for its construction. Utzon's design for the building was chosen from 233 submitted, but no one, including Utzon, was really sure a structure of its kind could be built. The tiles on the outside are just one example of the innovation required. They change color depending on the amount of daylight and the temperature, so they rarely look the same. Most importantly they are self -cleaning. It took Utzon three years to design just the tiles.

Utzon devised and tested sixteen different schemes for making the famous white sails on the building's roof before he figured out how to cut them from circles of steel. 16,000 workers were required to be on site during the construction of the signature 'sails'. Utzon by the way did not call them sails. He wanted them to be abstract so each visitor to the opera house could have their own idea what they looked like. Some people say they remind them of waves, a dragon's back, seashells, or dishes in a dishwasher. I thought they looked like Marilyn Munroe's white dress in the movie Some Like It Hot when a blast of air from the subway grate blows her skirt up into the air. Whatever they remind you of, those 'sails' on the opera house roof took eight years to build.

Ten years after Utzon started work on the opera house a newly elected Australian government gave him an ultimatum. He either had to make concessions in his design and collaborate with government architects so the building could be finished more quickly, or he had to quit. Utzon resigned and the government hired others to complete his work. Utzon never went back to Sydney to see the finished opera house even though he won many of architecture's most prestigious awards for designing it.

Thirty- three years after he'd resigned someone from the opera house staff approached Utzon to apologize to him and ask for an interview. Would he be willing to let them see all his notes and drawings and would he explain his original ideas so they could be kept for posterity? Utzon accepted the apology and agreed to the interview. Now the Australian government is slowly making changes to the Opera House so that eventually it will look exactly as Utzon planned. They have already replaced concrete outer walls with banks of windows and repainted interior walls with new colors following Utzon's original plans. Utzon's son has flown to Sydney to supervise these changes. John Utzon died last year at age 90 but he died knowing that his original 'dream' for the Opera House would become a reality in the future.

Seven million people from all over the world visit the opera house each year and 350,000 take a guided tour. They learn all about how the one of kind architectural masterpiece was built. They also hear the story of how the relationship between the opera house designer and the country of Australia was broken and restored because each party was willing to be gracious and forgiving. Both of the stories are inspiring and important.

Is Thailand Safe to Visit?

As a longtime resident of Thailand I have a certain insight into whether or not Thailand is safe for visitors or those wishing to stay longer term.

There are usually multiple instances of unsafe activities going on in the country at any chosen time. I will review the major areas where foreigners need to take extra precautions to stay safe during their stay.

Bangkok, the Capital of Thailand, is ground zero for political movements. The country has not seen stability politically in a very long time. Some would say it was never stable in modern times. Currently there are red shirt groups and yellow shirt groups that are in opposition. The military sometimes gets involved and stages military coups - and there is always fighting - sometimes lethal as groups confront each other, and attempt to change the power structure that exists. This is a constant struggle and matters little who happens to be in power at the moment, there is always unrest in Bangkok.

The problems are compounded when police and military are called on to preserve order in the streets... sometimes the hand is heavy and they end up killing protestors. This does not help the situation and it can escalate from there.

As a visitor to Thailand you would not want to be spending your vacation or any time at all in Bangkok when there are bombs going off and military and/or police in the streets to control the demonstrations. It is just a very bad idea. It is not safe and you will not have a good time. If all you are coming to Thailand for is to spend time in Bangkok, choose a time when there is peace in the country or at least a small risk of violence letting loose.

Another area that is often times not safe - and currently it is not, is the deep south. Muslim separatists in the southern Thailand provinces have waged a violent campaign against both Thai Buddhist and Thai Muslim believers that have not joined their radical organization. There have been approximately 3,000 deaths in the south over the past few years, though no foreigners are known to have been killed yet. Thailand tourism officials do not recommend that foreigners visit these southernmost provinces and you would be wise to limit your travels to the other provinces.

Natural disasters like the devastating tsunami of 2004 have the potential to re-occur any time, though the chances are apparently not high that a similar even will recur in Thailand anytime soon.

Pattaya, Patong Beach, Patpong, and other tourist filled areas can be bad news at night. There are robberies and assaults that occur nightly, but if you are not one of the ones bar-fining girls or ladyboys for a night of fun in your room you will probably be OK. There are a number of things you should know about Thai culture - which goes well beyond this article. In my last paragraph of this article I will give you another resource that will help you immensely.

Is Pattaya safe? Sometimes. Is Patong Beach safe? More often than Pattaya, yes. Is Patpong safe? Not so safe in general, no I would not consider it safe.

Your mileage may vary during your trip if you plan on availing yourself of the adult carnival of fun in Thailand. You may well find yourself beat up and in the hospital or you might have a perfectly safe time, despite indulging in outrageous nighttime activities. It is hard for me to give a blanket statement about whether Thailand is safe for all people because all people are different.

The last time anyone ventured a guess there were approximately 100,000 foreigners living in Thailand as long-term expats here for more than vacation. During a typical year when there is not much political fighting in Bangkok there are over 12 million foreign tourists per year enjoying the country. Very few of them have a problem with their physical safety while they are here. Most of them take some precautions. Many of them are frequent visitors.

Visiting or staying in Thailand can be dangerous or it can be relatively safe and enjoyable. Probably the biggest factor in the equation is you. If you are the type that looks for trouble or does not try hard to avoid trouble you might find it in Thailand. If you do not have any experience in the country you will probably be doing yourself a substantial favor by researching more about Thai culture and the experiences of foreigners in the country.




If you're considering a trip to Thailand and are concerned about safety during your stay, there is an informational article I just published at my main Thailand-focused site, www.ThaiBlackBook.com that will supplement the information you learned here. The name of this Thailand informational article is, "Is Thailand Safe to Visit?"

Asian Dating - Facts About Thai Women

The most popular Thai dating websites are:

Thai Matches, Thai Love Links, Foreign Ladies, Thai Darling, Sweet Singles, Thai Kisses, Blossoms, Thai Singles Online, Love Awake, Thai Websites.

Statistics of internet dating in Thailand:

Currently (2010) there are no any reliable statistics about dating online with Thai women. Most of the Asian dating sites provide "statistics" which are ads only and nothing more. One thing is certain: the percentage of marriages between Thai women and western men is perhaps the highest of all Asian countries.

Facts about Thai people:

* Almost every Thailand girl wants to marry a "farang". "Farang" means "white man" in Thai.
* Marriages between Asian men and white women are extremely rare.
* Thai culture is perhaps one of the most liberal on the Earth as to the sexual issues.
* Thai girls are usually completely dedicated to their partner or husband, in a much higher degree than women from western countries.
* Cultural differences between Thailand and western countries are huge. Dating with a Thailand girl is somehow dating with the Asian culture itself.
* Most of them people speak English. Their English vocabulary is usually poor.
* Their education system is very different from our. Do not expect the same level of knowledge about the world.
* In most situations they are peaceful and joyful. They don't like any kind of conflicts. Their culture is extremely gentle.
* Thailand is a very bureaucratic country. Prepare yourself to complicated and time consuming procedures for getting married, setting a company, buying a house or finding a job.
* There is one, but probably the most important, good news. If you find a wife in Thailand you are a lucky chap. This is a personal, not objective opinion: there is no country like Thailand. There are no women as Asian women. This is a real paradise.

Nairobi famous Landmarks Africa Kenya-Top Nairobi Kenya Spots & Places

Nairobi attractions and places to stay

Nairobi is the largest city in East Africa. It began as a shanty town depot of the East African Railroad in 1899. In a little over 90 years it has become one of the major cities of modern Africa and a headquarters of the United Nations. It is a vibrant and growing city-a mosaic of many races and cultures.

Most of the many tourists to Kenya only spend about one or two nights in Nairobi. There are several places to visit and places to eat in Nairobi. The main attractions of a Nairobi vacation safari are listed below. From a variety of sight seeing options, the below are recommended;

The Nairobi National game park

(11,300hectares). the Nairobi park is not far from the city center, but gives you a real bush experience. You'll see the most game except elephant. This is possibly your best chance of seeing rhino. Stay in your vehicle. This is by far the most favoured Nairobi attraction spot.

Tourist time in Nairobi is also spent shopping-searching out Kenyan mementos and gifts to take home. There are soapstone carvings, wonderful ethnic jewelry, many wooden carvings, colorful cloth kanga and kikoi. Most hotels have souvenir shops. African Heritage shops (downtown and on the airport road) have a broad selection and good displays.

If you are more adventurous, try the block of small blue duka across the road from the Nairobi city market building. Leave behind your valuables, but take your humor, patience and bargaining skills and have fun. Downtown Nairobi is full of souvenir shops. Farther out in the suburbs are Utamaduni (up market craft centre) and Kazuri beads (original ceramics) in Karen, and the craft Market and undugu (co-op store) in the Westlands area.

Cheap Holidays in Pattaya, Thailand

When is the best time to come to Pattaya on Holiday?

Pattaya something for everyone and at all times of the year. Most people from the West, Europe and North America tend to come to holiday in Pattaya form the months of November to Late February March (High season). The weather is normally cooler and sunny. The beaches are full as are the bars and everyone is having a good time including the hoteliers and property renters.

When you come on holiday to Pattaya, let's face it. It's a cheap holiday compared to where you live and the weathers warm and the people friendly.

But have you considered just how much cheaper your holiday would be if you came in low season? How much more extra would you have to enjoy yourself?

Consider for a moment what is cheaper and the savings you can make. The cost of the flight at least 15% less in low season.

Hotel accommodation. Again big savings to be made. In low season it's not unusual to see hotels offering rooms at 40% below the high season rate.

Property rental owners also reduce there rental rates in Pattaya considerably compared to the rental rates in high season. An example of this: View Talay 5. In high season the average rental is between 19,000Baht up to as high as 35,000Baht for a 48sqm studio apartment. That's a lot of money! In low season you can rent in View Talay 5 from 14,000Baht with sea views. I won't tell the % savings as I'm sure you can see for yourself.

View Talay 2. High season rental from: 15,000 to 28,000Baht for a 37sqm studio room.

Low season, from 8,000 to 14,000Baht and plenty in between these prices

One more thing! When renting your much more likely to get the condo or villa you want. Unlike in high season. If you haven't booked you holiday home by late August you may well have problems finding what your looking for and at the price you want to pay.

So when is the best time to come on holiday to Pattaya Thailand?

Well Dates worth considering. April. Ok it's hot but you have Songkran the water festival to cool you down. If you've never experienced Songkran in Pattaya before then you must come, if only once in your life. Warning!! You will get very, very wet! Prices can still be high in this month as everyone tries to take advantage before low season proper arrives.

May, June and some of July can be too hot for someone on holiday in Pattaya. Middle of July to the end of October is good. The weather is not so hot. In fact its close to the same as in high season. Yes it will rain, as this time of year is also the monsoon season in Thailand. BUT. Pattaya is not like the rest of Thailand. It does not rain for weeks and weeks may be every other day for a couple of hours which cools things off nicely. Then you can go weeks with out any rain. Remember it can rain in high season too!

If you can come on holiday to Pattaya between the months of July to the end of October you will find the following.

Cheaper air fairs.

Un-crowded peaceful beaches.

People pleased to see you.

Discounted prices on all forms of entertainment.

Cheaper hotel rooms in Pattaya.

Cheaper rental accommodation in Pattaya.

A better selection of everything that's on offer and at a cheaper price than in high season.

So if you'd like to save money and still have a fantastic holiday then consider coming to Pattaya in low season.




This article has been written by James Lamborn who has lived over 7 years in Pattaya and has broad based knowledge of of the property rental market in Jomtien and Pattaya. He has found out, often the hard way where to rent and where to avoid. His articles are meant to give the reader the knowledge he has gained over the years and help the reader from making some of the same mistakes he and others have made.

The Three Types of Police Force in Spain

Spain has three types of police force much to the confusion of visitors to the country. Some autonomous regions, like the Basque Country, will even have a fourth. Each has their own defined policing role, distinctive uniform and training. All three groups are armed.

The Policia Locale, or Municipal Police

Wear navy uniforms with blue shirts and are responsible for enforcing compliance with the local town or village laws. Parking, traffic control, excessive noise, neighbour problems and making sure bars and places of entertainment close on time, comply with gambling laws and similar minor offences.

They are usually accessible and helpful and are your first port of call if you have a grievance against a neighbour or business.

Those British new to Spain will sooner or later come across the word 'denuncia' and confuse this with the similar English phrase 'to denounce' meaning to make public an accusation.

In Spain the meaning is similar but does not have such strong connotations. If you wish the Policia Locale to assist you in, for instance, a problem with a neighbour's noisy dog, you will be expected to make a denuncia (complaint) before they will consider taking any action.

The Policia Nacional

Usually wear black uniform with white shirts and are responsible for dealing with most crime and with the overseeing of foreigners (extranjeros).

There will be a Policia Nacional police station in major towns and cities where foreigners needing a resident permit or other documentation will have to apply to obtain the necessary residence card or permit.

As in other countries the Policia Nacional has specialised units to deal with illegal immigration, drugs, fraud, money laundering, murder and organised crime, etc. If you are the victim of a crime you should report it to your local Policia Nacional police station.

The Guardia Civilia

Which, in General Franco's day, was the force that most foreigner visitors were aware of with their distinctive hats and green formal uniforms.

That has now changed, no longer do they stand guard at little huts a kilometre apart along the Southern coast and beaches making sure that no smuggling took place from Gibraltar and North Africa.

Nowadays you can expect the Guardia Civilia to be present in country areas where there may be a Guardia police station to deal with crimes instead of a Policia Nacional station in the smaller or outlying villages.

Among their responsibilities is to patrol the roads and motorways, mounting speed traps, random breath tests and checking that driving licenses, insurance, ITVs (MOTs) and other motoring documents are in order.

It is an offence not to have your license, insurance, etc. with you when driving. As random checks by the Guardia are fairly common, it is best to keep your motoring papers in your car and your driving licence in your wallet or purse at all times.

You may be unaware that you have committed a motoring offence until you get a fine through the post. Pay up within 10 days and you will get a 30% discount.

The Guardia will also assist you if you have a roadside breakdown.

The Guardia Civilia mount border and sea patrols and security to prevent illegal immigration, drug and other illegal activities. They are responsible for bomb disposal and other anti terrorist activities, computer crime and other hi tech law enforcement.

Nerja Holiday Destination On The Costa Del Sol

Nerja is the most eastern town on the Costa del Sol and is 55 km (about 35 miles) from Malaga. It is only 50 minutes drive from Malaga's International Airport and an hour and a half from Granada and the Sierra Nevada ski resort. Part of its beauty comes from its magnificent geographical location. Within an area of 84 square kilometres and a population of approximately 17,000, it is one of the two municipalities in the whole province of Malaga with the most protected nature parks ('Sierra Tejeda-Almijara' and the 'Maro-Cerro Gordo').

Protected by the 'Sierra' mountains from the winds of the north and bordered by the Mediterranean Sea, Nerja enjoys an exceptional subtropical all year round climate.

From a tradition of fishing and agriculture, the primary economic activity of today is tourism. Because Nerja still conserves its culture, and together with its beaches, cliffs and mountains, it is one of the more popular destinations for many people looking to have a closer contact with nature; not forgetting, of course, the fairs, traditional festivities and nightlife that the town has to offer.

Nerja boasts 16 kilometres of beaches with powdery sand and sparkling clear water. All major water sports are available here, including water skiing, scuba diving and sailing. There are plenty of restaurants and cafes here to choose from, and the visitor can hire a horse-drawn carriage to explore the most romantic corner of the town. It is said that Nerja has about 600 tapas bars, cafes and restaurants and as such will suit all tastes and pockets.

Flanked by a dramatic Sierra Almijara mountain range to the east, the town has fortunately managed to avoid being blighted by the concrete high-rise scenario, which has been the inevitable result of the tourist boom in some of the coastal resorts. The old quarter of the town is still virtually unchanged with narrow, winding streets, whitewashed houses with wrought iron terraces overflowing with geraniums and borganvillea.

The heart of Nerja is its spectacular Balcon de Europa, the "Balcony of Europe". It is a magnificent promenade along the edge of a towering cliff, which once the site of the great Moorish castle. There are sweeping panoramic views of the Mediterranean and of the small coves and beaches below, against an awesome backdrop of hazy mountain scenery.

The town's monuments include the 17th century Church of El Salvador, in a style, which is a charming mixture of baroque and Moorish, or Mudejar, and the beautiful Gardens of Capistrano Playa, which descend to Burriana Beach.

Nerja's most spectacular attraction is undoubtedly its fascinating caves, located just three kilometres from the centre of town. They include archaeological treasures such as paintings over 20,000 years old and other pre-historic remains. One of the enormous natural caverns has been transformed into a concert hall, where many performances are staged during the summer.




Alan has been visiting Nerja since 1982 and invites you to visit Andalucia Villas ( http://www.andalucianvillasltd.com ) for renting holiday villas in the Nerja area of Andalucia. Villa Management and Sales information for visitors to Nerja.

Many international organizations including UNESCO, the ICC and the OECD, also have offices in Paris.

What You Should Know About a Thai Bar Girl

Going to the Asian country of Thailand is a treat all in itself. Thailand has something for every kind of traveler. It has breathing scenery, historic sacred temples, and for us guys: Thai bar girls.

A Thai bar girl is just waiting for men from the Western part of the world to come along. Many of them want money, but most of them want respect - something they don't get from Thai men. Because of their reputation for getting down and dirty, many Western guys think that they can just come to Thailand, scoop up a Thai bar girl and take her home - no questions asked. And while hooking up with a Thai girl isn't the hardest thing to do, it does require a little more effort than that.

The first thing you should do when you see a Thai bar girl that you like is to make eye contact with her. This will let her know that you are interested. Then flash a big, flirtatious grin at her. Thai girls are almost constantly smiling and they love it when you give them attention. After you all are smiling at each other, give her a chance to make her way over to where you're at.

Don't say anything rude or out of the way. Remember that Thai bar girls crave respect. Act reserved and polite. Offer her your business card or buy her a drink. Do not touch her. Public displays of affection are not nearly as acceptable in Thailand as they are in other countries. Keep your hands off until the two of you are alone - and trust me, if you play your cards right, you will get her alone.

Once you have let her know you'd like to get to know her better, if you have respected your boundaries in public, chances are high that she will let you take her home. There she will give you luxurious massages and cook delectable Thai food for you... among other things.
