With the busy summer months starting to come to a close, October is an ideal time to look for a cheap holiday to Greece. Prices will be coming down, but the temperature will still be fairly hot, and if you’re just looking for a relaxing rest on a beach, or a nice cruise with various ancient sights to see, this is a great time to go to Greece which is the perfect place to plan your holidays. It is a beautiful country characterised by its mountainous landscapes, its incredible weather, its many islands, its long sandy beaches and more.

Holiday in Greece is the dream of a lifetime for many people, as shown by surveys conducted in different countries around the world. And  I heard that  Greece is the most beautiful and romantic place for lovers from some people who traveled all over the word .The most beautiful sight in Greece may be the Aegean Sea.

The beaches of Rhodes are among the most beautiful of the Aegean Sea. Some with white pebbles, others with sand, these beaches have lead in the North of the island to the building of sunny seaside resorts, along the Triante Bay on the West coast or the Bays of Rhodes and Kallithéas, on the East coast. The most famous and beautiful of all the beaches is unquestionably Tsampika, on the East coast, a few miles from Kolymbia. Overlooked by the monastery, nested more than 300 metres above the sea, it has an admirable turquoise transparent lagoon, worthy of the most beautiful Caribbean beaches.

The Greek countryside is also ideal for new types of tourism, ecology tourism (ecotourism) , geotourism and active tourism that addresses to nature lovers and includes practicing various types of activities, such as visiting mineral areas, protected areas but also canoeing, river trekking and rafting in the deep rivers, mountain biking, rock climbing, jeep tours, horse riding or just some walking and bird watching in the steep mountains and the Greek National Parks. However, we should always make sure that our activities do not disturb but protect the environment.

Your vacations in Greece will definitely stay in your mind for many years to come! It is easy to reach Greece by all means of transport and getting around within the country’s limit is equally easy.

Are You A Climbing Fan?

rock-climbing
Rock climbing was recognized as an elegant, civilized, high-level sports and leisure activities. With the continuous development of social economy,and  people’s living standard rising, the movement is gradually being more accepted and loved by young people.
If you come to China and as a climbing fan, you can not miss Yang shuo, the best place for climbing.The heavily-eroded limestone offers wonderful settings as well as a wide range of hand and foot holds. The sheer variety that is available is enough to tempt any climber here, and many do find it hard to leave again.

There are several rock-climbing operators in town. Standards vary and it is worth getting local advice, especially if you are a total beginner. At least ask about about qualifications and take a look at how the equipment is stored. Ropes are your lifeline, and should be treated with total respect at all times. Walk away if you see these tossed casually on the floor. You should be provided with a helmet, and should wear it, especially at the bottom of the crag where loose bits of stone tend to get knocked down.

Becoming a mountain climbing guide requires a serious amount of training and experience.
1.Climb regularly. Go mountain climbing and skiing as often as you can on many different ranges. The more experience you can garner, the easier it is to take the necessary guide exams.
2.Take a mountaineering course. Some guide services such as Alpine Ascents International lead classes, or take courses the American Mountain Guides Association offers.

3.Receive certification from the American Mountain Guides Association (AMGA) and the International Federation of Mountain Guides Associations by enrolling in courses and passing the necessary exams.

 4.Seek employment with guide services, or become an individual mountain climbing guide. Some may not like the more restricted atmosphere working for a guide service, or the lower pay. It is up to the individual.
5.Read books on teaching. Develop some routines and exercises that you are comfortable with. You’ll need them to work with your clients and to evaluate their skills.

 6.Prepare to spend time with people from many different walks of life. Be patient, supportive and make the client feel a part of the mountain climbing expedition, not simply a person on the end of a rope.

 

Do You Want a Global Travel?

Tags:

Traveling around the world  is my dream, as well as most of the people. Before global traveling, you must be sure that you have enough money and time. Then, you need prepare for your tirp as follows:

Book the tickets and hotel:
Airline ticket prices vary more or less as tickets are sold, thus it is highly unlikely that you will ever pay the same price for an airline ticket as the same person next to you (unless you booked your tickets at the same time). Indeed, you may even be paying twice as much for the same seat depending upon when you purchase your ticket.

Each airline works on a yield management system which is used to calculate an airfare based on the season, local events, competition, time of the year and so on. The demand for a particular flight route at one of these times is then calculated into a percentage of airfares available. Using figures from previous similar circumstances, i.e. the same time last year, the airfare is calculated based upon the natural demand that should arise.

In short the earlier you book the better the price you are likely to get, though sometimes it is possible to get cheaper flights after the earliest possible time to book, simply because the metrics used to calculate the original price have changed, for example if England did not make the World Cup Finals – so now there will be a lower demand for England fans booking tickets to fly to the World Cup Finals.

Budget
This tend to be the first question asked by all backpackers, as budget defines not only the destinations you visit but also how long you will be able to travel for.

The most important thing to ensure is that you have sufficient leverage in your budget to accommodate unexpected expenses and any expenses that you may incur while you are away such as storage, mortgage payments or rent and utility bills.

Find Out if You Need Visas. Call the embassy of the countries you are going to visit to see if you need a visa to enter or go to www.passportsandvisas.com. Visas expire, so you may need to get one at an embassy while you are on the road. Stay informed; it is not uncommon for a country to suddenly decide that U.S. citizens need a visa to enter when they didn’t need one a month ago. You may need a multiple-entry visa, especially in Africa, if you take a train from one country to visit another country but have to return to the first country to fly out. You will also need a visa for every country the train passes through even if you don’t get off the train.

Certainly , there are so many probelm you need to learn, you can surf the internet to ask  people who experience for advice. It is very  important and useful to make a detailed traveling plan.

Health Advice for Autumn Diet

Tags: ,

While the long-waited coolness accompanies it, fall also brings unpleasant weather. The atmosphere is drier, cloudy days are more frequent, and there is a greater difference in temperature between morning and evening. Because the Lungs are most sensitive during autumn, this is a time to focus on preventing or responding to colds, coughs, sore throat, and the like.

As an old Chinese saying goes, “a bowl of porridge in the morning and a bowl of soup in the evening help people through autumn days.” It’s good advice to follow.

The summer heat weakens the body’s digestive functions, and when autumn comes, the intestines become more vulnerable to bacteria. Because the Lungs are especially sensitive during the autumn months, it’s a good idea to minimize the amount of spicy food you eat, to avoid irritating them. As a result, your Lungs will be less vulnerable to pathogens.

Eat daikon radish, lotus root, and miso soup. Eat fewer summer vegetables, and switch to autumn vegetables like squash, broccoli, and cauliflower. Eat more root vegetables like carrots, onions, potatoes, and beets. Avoid spicy foods, and as always, too many refined sweets. Autumn is also seafood season. Crabs, shrimp and lobsters are all irresistible. Containing an abundance in protein and low fat, seafood is good for people’s health. Just make sure the seafood is fresh.

Balance is Key
Strive to balance your diet so that it includes some vegetables, some fruit, some grain, and a handful of moderately spicy foods.

When the fall comes, more and more problems with skin come together. Because of the big difference of temperature between the day and night. So the resistance to decline, coupled with the fall of the air humidity was significantly lower than in the summer, experts advise should be noted that the scientific method of skin care.

For the health and beauty, you’d better follow the tips below to take care of your skin in Autumn.

Hydrate!  Just because it’s not hot, doesn’t mean your body doesn’t require the same amount of hydration.  You don’t breathe less oxygen at the change of seasons, do you?  Be sure to drink enough water to keep your skin hydrated.  Dehydrated skin looks dry, tired and may be prone to more wrinkling. 

Take more vitamins:The old saying ‘you are what you eat’ could not be more true. Whilst bad eating habits may not show overnight it has a cumulative effect on our body and skin. In summer months the skin tends to take on a more improved texture and glow. Sunshine provides us with a photogenic source of vitamin D – not found commonly in foods. The sun also helps relieve symptoms of SAD -Seasonal Affective Disorder -  which can cause lethargy and depression, so make sure you get out and about on sunny autumn days and enjoy and good vitamin D dose.

Moisturize! Topical moisture is just as important as hydrating the skin from the inside.    The best time to moisturize your skin is right after a bath or a shower – the skin has absorbed some of the water from the bath and is ready to have that moisture “sealed in”.  Try a natural oil such as virgin coconut oil, shea butter or avocado oil for all over moisture. 

Eat healthy! Autumn is the best time to visit your farmer’s market for fall fruits and vegetables such as pumpkin, yams, avocado, apples and pears.  You can mash the avocado up for a great facial mask too!Take care of your skin this fall – keep it hydrated, moisturized, and above all eat healthy foods.  The skin is the largest organ of the body and should be treated with care, naturally.

What should be eaten in Autumn? I will tell you in next article.

Travel to The Heaven Lake-Sayram Lake

sayram-lake

Sayram Lake (Sailimu Hu), north of Yining, is a beautiful, large lake area. It is a perfect place to go hiking or riding. The land around Sayram Lake stretches green and vast, overflowing with vigor.

Located in the Bortala Mongol Autonomous Prefecture between the Junggar Desert and the city of Ili, Sayram Lake is the largest and highest alpine lake in Xinjiang. On a high plateau ringed by formidable snow peaks is the Sayram Lake grassland, where graze the herds of differing Mongol and Kazak clans. Surrounded by verdant pastures and snow capped lofty peaks above the timberline, stepped on densely wooded forests, the lake area will definitely consume you rolls of films. The large lake area is also a great place for hiking or riding. There is also a ruin at the other side of the lake and it is a place where the Mongolian Emperor Chenkisikan called his army there.

There is a touching love story about Sayram Lake. It is said that the lake was composed of the tears of a couple of Kazak young lovers. A beautiful girl and a young man were deeply in love. One day, a cruel devil was captivated by the girl’s beauty. He captured the girl and confined her to his residence. The girl took a chance to escape, but the devil found out very soon and went after the girl. She was forced to jump into an abyss. Later, her boyfriend heard of this and he was so sad that he jumped into the abyss to be reunited with his lover. Their painful tears flooded into the abyss and formed Sayram Lake.

The scenery is quite varied in four seasons. In winter, the cold wind stirs a boundless wave which splashes the bank, and the mist can even hide the snow-capped mountains. In spring, the mountain slope is covered with a green blanket dotted with colored blooming flowers. Summer and autumn are the best seasons to travel to Sayram Lake. The water in the lake is very peaceful, and the lake surface is as smooth as a mirror. From late July to early August, the Mongolian people celebrate the ‘Nadam Fair’. Kazaks also join in the festival, during which horse-racing, wrestling and folk songs and dance are performed.
