de ninguém ler este blog, não me importo pois divirto-me a escrevê-lo e a

going to tell you why I decided to go to South Korea…</span><span lang="EN-US">

that fascinates me a lot, and after some efforts
to save some money I thought that was time to put
a foot on this continent.</span><span lang="EN-US"> </span><span lang="EN-US">As I had been in a tourism fair where I found a nice Korean lady who
told me some about her country, it was enough to convince
me almost immediately. Then I persuaded a friend (Raquel - who
also went with me to Geneva) to come with me and a few
months later I was departing.</span></span></div>

até à Coreia do Sul… A ásia é um
continente que me fascina imenso, e depois de algum esforço para juntar algum
dinheiro achei que estava na altura de pôr um pezinho neste continente. Como
tinha estado numa feira de turismo e tinha encontrado uma senhora coreana
simpática que me falou um pouco do seu país bastou para me convencer quase de
imediato. Persuadi uma amiga (Raquel – que também foi comigo a Genebra) a vir
comigo e uns meses depois estava eu de partida.</span></span></div>

largest city in the world with a population over 22 million, is
also one of the safest cities. In my subjective opinion this security is
not due to law enforcement or policy measures, but for cultural
reasons. </span><span lang="EN-US">These people are peaceful
and friendly and extremely shy. Just ask some information (if
they understand English) and emerge ashamed laughs, and when
they hear a "gamsahabnida -</span>감사 합니다 <span lang="EN-US">– thank you" appear bows and
attitudes highly polished, almost happiness to help us. These people
are able to leave everything they are doing to help us. Evidence
of this was the first contact I had in Seoul when I asked for an
address that would lead me to my guest house</span><span lang="EN-US">
</span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was a girl who was on a bus
and who spoke very good English. (I was lucky because it’s
rare) and immediately took out phone from his his
pocket acceded to the GPS and tried to show us the way. Not being
sure if the GPS would tell the truth she asked two

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; text-align: justify;">Apesar de
ser a 7ª maior cidade do mundo e com uma população de mais de 22.000.000, é
também uma das cidades mais seguras. Na minha mais subjectiva opinião esta
segurança não é devido ao policiamento ou medidas políticas mas por razões
culturais. Estas pessoas são pacíficas e amigáveis e de uma timidez extrema.
Basta pedir alguma informação (no caso de entenderam inglês) surgem risos
envergonhados ao ouvirem um “gamsahabnida – 감사합니다
-
obrigado” surgem vénias e atitudes muito polidas, quase felicidade por nos
ajudar. Estas pessoas são capazes de deixar tudo o que estão a fazer para nos
ajudar. Foi prova disto o primeiro contacto que tive em Seoul quando perguntei
por uma morada que me levaria a minha guest house. Foi a uma moça que e estava
numa paragem de autocarro e que falava muito bem inglês (tive sorte porque é
raro) e que imediatamente tirou o seu telemóvel do bolso, acedeu ao GPS e
tentou indicar-nos o caminho. Não tendo a certeza se o GPS lhe diria a verdade
perguntou a mais dois locais que ali que encontrava!</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: arial, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">This small town is big when it comes to cultural heritage of UNESCO. Filled with magnificent temples and palaces! Emphasize the palace "Anajip Pond" and the temples "Bulguksa," and "Seokgulam Grotto" which was those that I liked most. For this last prepare to climb over 2 km by dirt paths, or be smarter and take a bus that leaves her almost over (only discovered it later).</span><span style="text-align: left;"> </span><br />

Para este ultimo preparem-se para subir mais de 2Km por caminhos de terra batida, ou ser mais inteligente e apanhar um autocarro que nos deixa quase la em cima (so o descobri depois).</span><br />

I decided to do this journey in order to spend my first holidays since I’m working in my current job. So, I took some days on summer time just having in my mind two thoughts. First, I wanted to visit my friend Matteo who’s living in Bologna and second I wanted to go somewhere else where I could go to the beach and enjoy the summer. As Italy is very close to Croatia and for a long time I wanted to visit this country with more than 1500 islands, I decided to break my trip into to parts.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><br />

Despite of being an attractive city with a lot of history and culture, it’s still a non-touristic city. I realized that Bologna wasn’t made thinking about tourism, I mean, they don’t want to show that everything is perfect, clean and pretty for people notice, but they just want have a nice place to live an enjoyable life. A good thing of not being a too much touristic is the cost of living, I mean the regular prices in cafés, restaurants, stores, etc. is not too high compared with others Italian cities with identical size. It was a good choice for begin a journey.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLmOLhTYnuTYjfW_i-VAs_rCjPEt6x8GAuK2QNxYg2XzovKlghfpfpVrgSr0Pofnw_NnMMfLnB-HmTfZXcnw_wK8xtiLhdskPOiIhb76ZnKgtVzgvZCgO7aFE3zzd0f6WQHVXiJSY5qQxK/s1600/CIMG0922.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLmOLhTYnuTYjfW_i-VAs_rCjPEt6x8GAuK2QNxYg2XzovKlghfpfpVrgSr0Pofnw_NnMMfLnB-HmTfZXcnw_wK8xtiLhdskPOiIhb76ZnKgtVzgvZCgO7aFE3zzd0f6WQHVXiJSY5qQxK/s200/CIMG0922.JPG" width="200" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinVXA6nxCH1b81sWcmoICFPm098vuQ5RKUdvqFox1L4X64hi0qlOUfhksTX8vZan4ZjuNJKUPGShBjnKQDUn6Z3wBPWcwXwH6IlnK5ce9-NlMv5BF3b9KEAC3KjFfnVM8rIEah9m1hf-iq/s1600/CIMG0925.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinVXA6nxCH1b81sWcmoICFPm098vuQ5RKUdvqFox1L4X64hi0qlOUfhksTX8vZan4ZjuNJKUPGShBjnKQDUn6Z3wBPWcwXwH6IlnK5ce9-NlMv5BF3b9KEAC3KjFfnVM8rIEah9m1hf-iq/s200/CIMG0925.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">By ferry I left Italy and arrived, during the sunrising time in…</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">…<b>ZADAR<o:p></o:p></b></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Well, my first stop in Croatia and for sure a good choice. This city on the Adriatic sea is the center of Zadar county and the wider northern Dalmatia region. The promontory on wich the old city stands used to be separated from the main land by a deep moat which has since become and landfill.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Sometimes, this city and region is described as a land of divine inspiration. I must agree with that. No one can deny that is a land of singular natural beauty. This claim is best borne out by its numerous national parks.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">An amazing particularity of this city is the sea organ which is an architectural structure where the sea can play by itself. On sunset time, the orange sun gives your reflex to the sea while you can listen the music from the sea organ and enjoy the mix of colors becoming from a kind of lightly floor (similar to a dance floor from the 80’s). This was the main reason for Alfred Hicthcock once said that in Zadar you can enjoy the most beautiful sunset in the entire world. I haven’t been in the whole world, but until now I agree with you Alfred.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Apart of the natural beauty which this city has to show, it’s also full of history. Zadar gained its urban structure in Roman times. During the time of Julius Ceasar and Emperor Augustus the town was fortified and the city walls with towers and gates were built. Inside the ancient town, a medieval town had developed with a series of churches and monasteries being built. During the middle ages, Zadar fully gained an urban aspect, which has been kept until today.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">So, I fully consider that city as an romantic destination for couples in love.

Plitvice Lakes National Park is included in the UNESCO list of World Natural Heritage sites and represents a phenomenon of Krast hydrography. The blue of the water is unmistakable and the location of the 16 lakes and thousands of waterfalls seems to have been designed with a ruler as setsquare. Framing this impressive picture is a dense and lush wood, home to bears, lynxes and other rare species.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The 16 lakes are known for their waterfalls and ongoing biodynamic process of tufa formation under specific ecological and hydrological conditions. This process consists in porous carbonate rock formation by the sedimentation of calcium carbonate from water. It builds barriers, sills and other forms in Karst rivers and streams. This process is constant, happening every time. Over time, the water changes its course, leaving some barriers dry but stimulating tufa growth in other places.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 4.8pt;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #b45f06;"> Among a thousand reasons that could make me visit this city. I must confess that this choice came by chance. I wanted to spend a four day’s weekend, somewhere with two friends (Teresa and Raquel). Then I checked on easyjet website which the cheapest direct flight from Lisbon! I found Geneva! Sounds good! </span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #b45f06;"> Geneva is the second-most-populous city in Switzerland and is the most populous city of Romandie, the French-speaking part of Switzerland. Situated where the Rhone exits Lake Geneva, it is the capital of the Republic and Canton of Geneva. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #b45f06;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> Geneva is a global city, a financial centre, and a worldwide centre for diplomacy and the most important UN international co-operation centre with New York thanks to the presence of numerous international organizations, including the headquarters of many of the agencies of the United Nations and the Red Cross. It is also the place where the Geneva Conventions were signed, which chiefly concern the treatment of wartime non-combatants and prisoners of war. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Geneva has been described as the third European financial centre after London and Zurich, and the world's eighth most important financial centre by the Global Financial Centres Index. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #b45f06;"> Geneva has the third-highest quality of life of any city in the world. The city has been referred to as the world's most compact metropolis and the "Peace Capital.”</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #b45f06;"> I have to say that this city is a bit expensive for who didn’t want to spend much money. Actually, Geneva was ranked as the fourth most expensive city in the world. Even the food is expensive, but we always have supermarkets where you can buy and cook for ourselves if we want to make it cheaper. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #b45f06;"> On the other hand, this city is very welcoming to tourists. Normally, your accommodation place offers a free card for public transport during the time you’re staying in the city (nice, isn’t it?). Even if you don’t have this card, you can always rent a bike for free and walk around the city which is well prepared for bike drivers.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #b45f06;"> My first propose of this trip was to relax, so I spend my days walking around quietly, enjoying the boating on the lake and listening the street musicians playing in public pianos scattered throughout the city.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTlOyk6TQqdFTp9PkhkQplJsU6XATz0wZPe1rhyl9S17v25O0zDSi7zLPDDOD2mWRlbep30InSi6kvlyWfok7mbLq8Y78Db2QoVGqMnAQF1LyVgBVofdCkB5_ivlyT9k_13sBFCbg6O-qi/s1600/P6110018.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTlOyk6TQqdFTp9PkhkQplJsU6XATz0wZPe1rhyl9S17v25O0zDSi7zLPDDOD2mWRlbep30InSi6kvlyWfok7mbLq8Y78Db2QoVGqMnAQF1LyVgBVofdCkB5_ivlyT9k_13sBFCbg6O-qi/s200/P6110018.JPG" width="200" /></a></div> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrRs0-JUgvzMk7MpzgOVK3wNo5q-hLtxKYuleXBEhOpTm9krH7HznLGET7Nx-M_NwvoyCMIftYUYxmXig94sPsbx5ydr1C940hGbT-kh3QkqPpBUTRpPIEn5veTLax9mer29gcODtjbO4g/s1600/P6110025.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrRs0-JUgvzMk7MpzgOVK3wNo5q-hLtxKYuleXBEhOpTm9krH7HznLGET7Nx-M_NwvoyCMIftYUYxmXig94sPsbx5ydr1C940hGbT-kh3QkqPpBUTRpPIEn5veTLax9mer29gcODtjbO4g/s320/P6110025.JPG" width="320" /></a><br />

Then we and Pedro’s sister (Patricia Pina) departed for an adventure in North Africa. The initial trip plan has included just Marrakech, but being in Morocco, woke up the desire of going a bit farther. So, we decide to go until the Sahara desert doors! The itinerary consisted depart from Marrakech to Zagora, crossing the Atlas Mountains by the largest canyons in the country for a journey of 354Km and more than six hours by car.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib-BxDSP4BPAWyADU6ZeZBW4bERc50AmF0u9DPEaAWY5NWWYnw_VoNM0Uu9BqhgBxrVj8V7u7f5y_5C-IvQ0baMy8ww-jbFhWU2XMi1p6iL6VCRSkLomJWQTi5yFtxDQ96ovaWEvi9YOYd/s1600/CIMG0862.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #b45f06;"><img border="0" height="431" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib-BxDSP4BPAWyADU6ZeZBW4bERc50AmF0u9DPEaAWY5NWWYnw_VoNM0Uu9BqhgBxrVj8V7u7f5y_5C-IvQ0baMy8ww-jbFhWU2XMi1p6iL6VCRSkLomJWQTi5yFtxDQ96ovaWEvi9YOYd/s640/CIMG0862.JPG" width="640" /></span></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #b45f06;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Although we like the idea of renting our own car, the time was short and for this reason, we decided to join a tour already organized. The road is relatively good, but there are some sections with a twisting design that require a careful driving, and for that we had Rashid, our driver, who has an unorthodox driving and talking on the mobil phone, he was carrying us on a mix of charm for the landscapes where we were going through and adrenaline for the possibility of crashing into another car or falling down from a scarp.</span></span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8gQiVunwpKoX5fClXhgTDgYZnSnwkvwqxmQZQZWKAzEoiJX00U_65Q5eE9ACp2xuxUsSoGVOcjJ0pm9Jdxe4Tyu7JaqZclT_RbVQxSt-5dvELd_MsB_r7neaDzGxkqkIDMkbGiGuwI1A9/s1600/CIMG0867.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #b45f06; font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8gQiVunwpKoX5fClXhgTDgYZnSnwkvwqxmQZQZWKAzEoiJX00U_65Q5eE9ACp2xuxUsSoGVOcjJ0pm9Jdxe4Tyu7JaqZclT_RbVQxSt-5dvELd_MsB_r7neaDzGxkqkIDMkbGiGuwI1A9/s200/CIMG0867.JPG" width="200" /></span></a></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTu-ARhwNDtHE9-GnUpnD9SMGpOMyRvi4G6xqgYfA0OnT05hDmCZfDCvLSyHFwMvpPzn7i484ZHAWpJnI81KWwbhVdKU9SI9fdUkoSYMJGF695Rgn5B0yQMm9C-tqgtEHbZ_TGnziuP7bx/s1600/CIMG0869.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #b45f06; font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTu-ARhwNDtHE9-GnUpnD9SMGpOMyRvi4G6xqgYfA0OnT05hDmCZfDCvLSyHFwMvpPzn7i484ZHAWpJnI81KWwbhVdKU9SI9fdUkoSYMJGF695Rgn5B0yQMm9C-tqgtEHbZ_TGnziuP7bx/s320/CIMG0869.JPG" width="320" /></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #b45f06; font-size: large;"> </span></span><br />

This city is an oasis in every sense and was in the past (XI century) a beacon for the Almoravids (monk-soldiers discharged from nomadic groups from the Sahara) in the trade caravans traveling through the dry desert and the Atlas Mountains covered by snow. Marrakesh may be the third most important city in Morocco following the Casablanca and Rabat, but their palaces, luxury riads and palm trees throughout the city exert a powerful fascination. </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #b45f06; font-size: large;"><br />

Everything converges to the Jemaa el Fna square where you can find musicians, dancers, healers, storytellers, and so on... Still inside the medina there are the Souks, which are nothing less than a maze of shadows and lights, colors and flavors, sounds and smells that invite us to join into the frenetic rhythm of the crowd. In order of truly participate in the life of the souks, it's crucial following a ritual: <span style="text-transform: uppercase;">HAGGLE</span>!! Haggle the price is almost an obligation, the discussion often ends on a cordial or even friendly conversation and should be done with a smile on the face. Although of being something that I don't enjoy to do, this adds some value to the acquisition. In terms of criminality, I don’t think this was a dangerous city. The danger consist of not being rammed by any person, motorcycle, car, bike, donkey or any other animal, because they all move simultaneously in a common area in all directions. Marrakech is a frenetic city that is not ideal to relax, but perfect to escape from the routine.</span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrQ5dUP6lI4gEvO2FTcFP81lhnC6uP7bR1YKjOyXD56iR-6yd7MSBVECL3VPmZdpKc6xJ53_kegiFrkENUTnwhrwmq921Tl4R4UeS-zizK5eaNRHvo7MjV_oLvp5Ln5rZr9ZkhtKKgjM3-/s1600/CIMG0903.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrQ5dUP6lI4gEvO2FTcFP81lhnC6uP7bR1YKjOyXD56iR-6yd7MSBVECL3VPmZdpKc6xJ53_kegiFrkENUTnwhrwmq921Tl4R4UeS-zizK5eaNRHvo7MjV_oLvp5Ln5rZr9ZkhtKKgjM3-/s320/CIMG0903.JPG" width="320" /></a></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

This village is the best preserved of all, thanks to its popularity between the film directors. It has already done several films including Lawrence of Arabia, The Last Temptation of Christ, the Mummy, Gladiator, Prince of Persia etc. .. Part of the attraction of this village lies in its location on the descent of a slope beside the river Ouarzazate and for still being inhabited by 10 families.</span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #b45f06;"><span lang="EN-US"><br />

One of the most unusual traditions of dining is Georgian table, which is also a way of socialising with friends and family. The head of the table is known as Tamada. He also conducts the highly philosophical toasts (That is amazing, believe me!), and makes sure that everyone is enjoying themselves.

I met Lola in Estonia during ERASMUS time, and the next summer she and other french friend (Iris Charlotte) that I also met in Estonia have decided to visit me! (I obliged them!).
