In Guillin (China) had one of the highest points in the use of language , when a fellow traveler trying to speak English, asked a shopkeeper" How much the nidou? "to buy a bird's nest that was hanging in his shop (in the middle of the forest).

But obviously it was not the only case. Phrases like" one the east and one the other "or" iu sai jau mach "were commonly used by many of us.

The basic vocabulary of traveler should include: Cheaper
  • please!
  • so much expensive for me!
  • boarding pass check in
  • / check out
  • place over bucking
  • available?
  • someplace to access Internet?

Nummular Eczema In Football

Back home (URUGUAY)

Montevideo - Uruguay, 07.10.1998

me off the plane and arrived at another city. Another trip destination.

from the sky, the airport looked like a small house, off the plane and they get on a bus to get to the arrivals building. In the street the traffic is crazy, and the cars start off with the yellow light. The Taxis do not have the amount, but a chip rate that is queried in a list. Buses in the city to stop the driver download to buy cigarettes. In the corners juggle poor children asking for money to passers.

seems that we again to the Third World, the city is old but not so in Europe. The buildings are tall, but do not reach the height of New York. Everything seems to move at a slow pace as in Asia, but not so many people, not slanted eyes and no animals in the street (except for some dogs, horses and carts that collect garbage). Kathmandu

is not, nor Varanasi. Nor is Beijing or Bangkok. It looks like a European city, mixing styles, Italian, English, Portuguese and English. Rambla is Barcelona but it is not, endless beaches without the Riviera. Gently undulating territory, not the Swiss mountains and the rivers of Interlaken.

There has been some impressive buildings like the Parliament or a palace in the heart. Also the old city, the old train station, and modern telecommunications tower. Manicured squares, large green parks and the warm sun of the sunset over the coast.

no longer charge the camera, or a passport. Repeat the same bed for several nights. I do not need a guide or a map. Language is not a problem, and I stopped being a passing tourist. I went

home, the dulce de leche, the roast, the promenade, friends, family. I went back to Montevideo.

Herpes In The The Pubic Hair Region

The Big Apple (USA) Bachelor

New York - USA, 2/10/1998

are five days in New York , which coincide with my last five days of travel.

Entry to USA was strange, because in the control of migration did not like too much to have so many stamps from Arab countries in the passport, and did not understand as a student could be traveling the world for 6 months.

made the mistake of not answering a question from form of customs (they did not understand) and I went to the baggage check. The officer repeated all the questions that had already made the man of migration, and now wanted me to disarm my backpack. Imagine that with so many months of travel, that was impossible to close, so I told him that if he opened it, he'd have to close. Looked both ways and let me pass.

traveled in the Big Apple its typical places: the Empire State Building (excellent view of the city - if they go up for night forget to take good pictures), the Madison Square Garden ( Instead of the biggest events ), the theaters of Broadway (which are centrally sale of tickets in a large office), the Church of San Patricio , and a finite building ( Flatiron Building) in a corner which always appears in the movies. We were in

Twin Towers (World Trade Center ) in Chinatown the Brooklyn Bridge of the Statue of Liberty , and Wall Street held ( NY Stock Exchange).

A little culture with Museum of Modern Art (MoMA ) And the Metropolitan , referring to the international level.

The Central Park really giant, according to the city: the buildings are tall, very long and wide streets, the huge advertising billboards, and transit chaotic (high noise pollution). And the American flag everywhere.

when boarding the bus not expect the driver will lead the word, and bring change just because you have to pull the four 25-cent coins into a funnel, and no other way to pay the ticket. The underground not convey much security, so avoid using it at night. It's like something out of a movie vapor coming from the sewers of the Metro.

morning we walked towards the Central Park went against the grain of people moving into the financial center, and it was crazy. The city has more than 8 million inhabitants, and in the metropolitan area are nearly 22 million people.

When visiting San Francisco are more marginalized than poverty, but here are two things. People who are outside society and others who really need money.
