A travel blog dedicated to Tourist attractions & The Best Food
Recipes in there.....
I want to travel for the rest of my life..............
Let me start with an example. The scene: a gift shop at
the Jewish Museum in Berlin. It’s almost completely free of tacky souvenirs,
and instead full of meaningful books, DVDs and other informative materials
about Jewish culture and history, which befit this truly fascinating museum. As
I stand near the counter browsing a shelf of novels, an English-speaking
tourist runs in.
“Excuse me, where’s the book that everybody buys?” she
shouts in the general direction of the two shop assistants, who are both
serving customers. Being mid-conversation with said polite customers, they
don’t respond immediately.
“Oh, so you don’t speak English? Where’s someone who
speaks English?” says the
rushing tourist.
One of the transactions has just finished, so a shop
assistant tells her, “I speak English, how can I help you?”
“I just want the book that everybody buys. I don’t have
time to look. My tour bus is waiting outside,” the tourist says loudly.
The shop assistant manages a weak smile and reaches up to
a shelf behind the counter. Taking down three or four books, she briefly
explains the contents.
“But which one does everybody buy?” repeats
the woman. Not getting an answer quickly enough, she throws her hands in the
air and says,
“Forget it, I don’t have time now,” and
runs back out of the shop.
No tricky guess that these actions — and they’re real, I
watched them open-mouthed — are those of a tourist, in fact of the worst kind
of tourist. But if you want to be a traveler rather than a tourist — to me,
that means experiencing a country and its culture from the inside, rather than
simply taking pictures of it as it passes by your tour bus window — it just
takes a little bit of effort.
Travel is the movement of people between relatively distant
geographical locations,
and can involve travel by foot,bicycle, automobile, train, boat, airplane, or other means, with or without
luggage, and can be one way or round trip.Travel can also include relatively
short stays between successive movements.
The origin of the word "travel" is most likely
lost to history. The term "travel" may originate from the Old French word travail. According
to the Merriam Webster dictionary, the first known use of the word travel was
in the 14th century. It also states that the word comes from Middle
English travailen, travelen (which means to torment, labor,
strive, journey) and earlier from Old French travailler (which means
to work strenuously, toil). In English we still occasionally use the
words travail andtravails, which mean struggle. According to Simon
Winchester in his book The Best Travelers' Tales (2004), the words travel and
travail both share an even more ancient root: a Roman instrument of torture
called the tripalium (in Latin it means "three stakes", as in to
impale). This link reflects the extreme difficulty of travel in ancient times.
Also note the torturous connotation of the word "travailler." Today,
travel may or may not be much easier depending upon the destination you choose
(i.e., Mt. Everest,
the Amazon
rainforest), how you plan to get there (tour bus, cruise ship, or oxcart), and whether or not you decide to
"rough it . "There's a big
difference between simply being a tourist and being a true world
traveler," notes travel writer Michael Kasum. This is, however, a
contested distinction as academic work on the cultures and sociology of travel
has noted
“I don't want to be in some big beautiful place that
nobody want me, because I play the blues."
Traditional food
However, let's take at these traditional foods that
I hope most residents have enjoyed at least once.Traditional food refers
to foods and dishes that
are passed through generations and
also refers to foods consumed over the long-term duration of civilization that have been passed
through generations. Traditional foods and dishes are traditional in nature, and may have a
historic precedent in a national dish,regional cuisine or
local cuisine. Traditional foods and beverages
may be produced as homemade, by restaurants and small manufacturers, and by
large food processing plant facilities.
Some traditional foods have geographical indications and traditional specialities
in the European Uniondesignations per European Union schemes
of geographical
indications and traditional specialties: Protected
designation of origin (PDO), Protected
geographical indication (PGI) and Traditional specialities guaranteed(TSG).
These standards serve to promote and protect names of quality agricultural
products and foodstuffs.
Some traditional Foods That Will Change our
Life Forever
Taste your way through
places and find numerous gastronomic fairs, festivals and trails to taste unique local products
and dishes.
