Although Zanzibar is recognized internationally as a land of romance, the archipelago is also a premier cultural safari destination in East Africa. Cultural safaris to Zanzibar cover important areas around this island including the streets of the old stone town, the house of wonders, peoples palace, Dr Livingstones house and the Arab fort among others.

The archipelago and its people have their own unique history and culture, influenced by the traders and invaders over the centuries; from the Portuguese, Omani Arabs to English. The result of this fusion of different ethnic groups has resulted in interesting cultural events such as Sauti za Busara, Zanzibar International Film Festival and Mwaka Kogwa ” the celebration of the Persian New Year.

Sauti za busara festivals, literally meaning sounds of wisdom, are held every February in Zanzibar stone town’s old fort. The event is arguably the best music event in Swahili speaking East Africa. During the festivals, Stone Town’s old fort comes very much alive. Performers at the event include taarab artists, bongo flava (a very popular East African music genre)stars, drumming troupes, and ngoma dancers.

Apart from just being very popular with the local population, Sauti za Busara is also one of the key highlights of Zanzibar’s bid to market itself as a top destination for cultural tourism. Many international visitors attend the event, which also gives the local artists a rare chance to interact with each other and exchange ideas, learn new things, and try out their creativity. During the sixth edition of the event, held from 12th to 17th February 2009, performing artists came from various parts of the world including Europe, Australia, and West Africa.

The other cultural event in Zanzibar is the Zanzibar international film festival (ZIFF), held every July. It is the largest cultural festival in East Africa, presenting an amazing variety of international music and dance, art exhibitions, theater arts, film and video. The film festival had its 10th anniversary in 2007.

Every year, the crowd that attends ZIFF gets bigger and bigger as its international reputation grows. The festival presents a unique chance to promote cultural understanding of Indian ocean dhow countries of Tanzania, Oman and India.

It is in the village of Makunduchi that another major cultural festival is held, that is the celebration of the Persian new year. Mwaka Kogwa festivities are colorful and full of pomp, fun, and rituals. Men participate in mock fights conducted with banana stems while women dress in their best attire and sing love songs, and songs about family and life in general. The mock fights signify doing away with any past disputes.

The highlight of the Mwaka Kogwa festival is the traditional burning of a hut – said to signify the passing of the old year and the start of the new. This ritual is thought to ensure the safety of the village in case of fire during the year and to purge evil from the people and the land. After the fire and fighting there is song, dance, drumming and feasting. Hospitality is extended to all people as the locals believe that any villager without a guest will be the recipient of bad luck and the party goes on till dawn.

As a result of the mentioned cultural events, Zanzibar Island has gained international fame as a center for African culture. Visitors to Zanzibar can get there by sea and by air. Some of the international airlines that operate scheduled flights to Zanzibar include Ethiopian Airlines, KLM (in partnership with Kenya Airways), Gulf Air, and Air Mauritius. Scheduled and domestic flights from Dar es Salaam are also available. From Dar es Salaam, visitors can also take a short boat trip to Zanzibar.

Seychelles archipelago is one of the most popular destinations in Africa. Seychelles, comprising 115 granitic and coralline islands in the Indian Ocean, is especially popular among visitors seeking for serene luxury vacation or honeymoon destinations in Africa.

Placed 4 degrees south of the Equator, between 480 km and 1600 km off the coast of East Africa, Seychelles is home to some of the most uncrowded and picturesque beaches in the world. These beaches include Anse Source d’Argent the famous beach on La Digue that is framed by impressive granite rocks, Anse Cocos on the eastern coast of La Digue – accessible only by foot and Anse La Reunion placed along its shore on The La Digue Island (the fourth largest island in Seychelles). Other beaches are Anse Patates lying on the northern most tip of the La Digue, Anse a la Mouche situated on the south western coast of Mahe, Anse Union, and Anse Forbans among many others.

La Digue, Praslin, and Mahe Islands form the cultural heart of Seychelles. The many other remaining islands extend in a gleaming arc towards the East African coast, and are often referred to as the outer islands. Among these outer Islands, only Alphonse and Desroches have accommodation facilities for tourists. Over the years, travelers undertaking holiday tours in Seychelles mostly visit either Mahe, La Digue, or Praslin Islands.

Mahe, measuring 28 km long and 8 km wide, is the principal island of Seychelles and the home to the Mahe International Airport. Praslin is the second popular island in Seychelles, renowned for the legendary Coco-de-mer nut that grow on ancient giant palms in the wondrous Vallee de Mai Forest. Praslin is located 44 km to the north east of Mahe and it features exquisite beaches such as Anse Boudin, Anse Georgette, Anse Lazio, Anse La Farine, Anse Possession, Anse Matelot, Grand Anse, Anse Volbert, Anse Kerlan. On the other hand, time seems to stand still on La Digue where on-carts hold sway on the paths to the dream beach of Anse La Source d’Argent.

International arrivals are received at the Mahe International Airport – the hub of Air Seychelles. Air Seychelles is the national airline of the Republic of Seychelles. The airline connects Mahe with 4 European Capitals and 3 major cities around the Indian Ocean on a weekly basis. Air Seychelles also operates numerous inter island flights every day. Although there is a helicopter service between Mahe, the main island, Silhouette, Fregate and North Island, flights can also be arranged by Seychelles hotels on request.

Seychelles attractions go beyond its world renowned beaches. The legendary Vallee de Mai, the Ile Coco Marine National Park, Aride Island, Curieuse Island, and Aldabra are just some of the attractions visitors can enjoy in the Seychelles Islands. Two of these are UNESCO World Heritage sites i.e. the Vallee de Mai (considered by some people to have been the Garden of Eden), and the Aldabra (the largest raised atoll in the world). Aride Island is a breeding site for seabirds and hosts ten species of endemic birds including Brush Warblers, Magpie Robins, and Fodies. As such, Aride is regarded as one of the most important nature reserves in the world.

Seychelles Islands have a tropical climate. Between the months of October and March, during the North West trade winds, the weather is warm and humid and the sea generally calm. Visitors to the Islands can move around relatively easily with the aid of the self explanatory map of Seychelles.

Although traditional baby shower games never fail and are always a success, new baby shower games are emerging and spreading across the United States. These cool, unconventional activities are different than the classics but with all the fun and more. If you are aiming for a hip, edgier baby shower with a twist from the classic, all-American baby shower, include a few of these new, trendy games that are sure to be a hit at your shower.

The “Dirty Diaper” game is one of the most clever and unusual, yet surprisingly sweet games out there. For this game, fold white cloth napkins or square pieces of white fabric into small diapers. Inside one of these mini diapers, place an unwrapped Hersheys kiss or any other chocolate bonbon. Fasten all the diapers with a baby diaper safety pin.

When guests arrive to the baby shower, hand one mini baby diaper to each person. Tell the guests to keep them closed and to not open them until instructed to do so. Then, when the time comes for all your games and activities, tell your guests that one of them has a dirty diaper. Tell them to open the diapers all at once, and whoever has the “dirty diaper,” or the chocolate bonbon inside of their diaper, wins a prize.

Another game with a meaning is the “umbilical cord.” For this game, you will need two spools of string or yarn, and two spoons. Choose volunteers and set up two or more teams of about eight to ten people. Attach each spoon to the tip of each string or yarn. The point of the game is to pass the “umbilical cord” through all the members of each team, by passing the string in through the neck seam and out through the opening of the skirt of each team player. This is very humorous, as you can imagine. The first team that passes the cord through all of the members wins.

A game that is becoming increasingly popular among baby showers is “Guess Whos Baby Picture?” For this game, make sure to tell guests on the invitations, and remind them before the shower, to bring in a baby picture of themselves when they were infants. Number each picture and put them up on a big bulletin board. During the games and activities session of your baby shower, give each guest a paper and pens or pencils. Have each paper numbered with the amount of pictures posted on the bulletin board.

When the game begins, tell the guests to fill in the numbers on the paper with the names of the people who they believe correspond to the baby picture. For example, if I think that baby picture #1 corresponds to Katie, I would write “Katie” after the number one on my paper. The guest that has highest number of right answers wins the challenge. If there is more than one guest with the same highest number of right answers, issue a tiebreaker.

Remember, all of these new games started as an idea. Try to come up with a few clever, never before used games. Who knows, they could potentially become a hit by the end of the year!

Spain is a popular destination for many people from northern Europe that are looking for a place to get away from the cold weather of winter. Strangely enough it is just as popular during summer too as many people take their summer holidays in a country that is not too far away put is a perfect contrast to their own countries and pretty much guarantees plenty of sunshine.

So while most people may think of Spain as a place to recharge their batteries on a nice sunny beach, there is much more to the country than that.

Many Things To Do And See

Spain has a rich cultural heritage. Moorish cultural monuments have survived in many of the southern parts of Spain. The two principal Moorish pieces of architecture to see are the Alhambra and the mosque of Cordoba.

Madrid is the capital of Spain. It is located in the center of the country and has many famous attractions. Notably the Museo Prado which features some of the most famous painting you could wish to see. You can spend a whole day and even longer viewing paintings from Goya, Velzquez and Bosch. The Retiro park is another popular spot. The Plaza major is also popular with tourists. If you like football then a visit to the Bernabeu stadium is recommended.

Toledo is another popular visit if you are based in Madrid. It’s about 45 minutes on a train from Madrid. Toledo is a fortified city that features a large castle. It was famous in the middle ages for making swords and armor or knights. It is a popular day trip for tourists nowadays.

Barcelona is the second city of Spain. Barcelona is the principal city of the Catalan region. It is located on the coast but is not far from the Pyrenees so people keen on winter sports can have the best of both worlds. Skiing starts around December through till late March.

The most eye catching aspect of Barcelona is the weird architecture. It is often described as surreal as the structures appear to be melting or comprise odd shapes. The Sagrada Familia church and the park Guell created by Gaudi are the signature pieces of this style of architecture. They attract many people, both local and tourists. La Rambla is another popular focal point. It is a long pedestrianized street that caters to tourists. There are many restaurants and bars on the street or in adjoining streets. There are many street performers and other entertainers to catch your attention.

Other places to check out include Andalusia, the biggest Spanish province and the coast of this part of the country that comprises places such as Cadiz and Malaga as well as Huelva and Almeria and even Granada are truly spectacular.

There are also many islands that are part of Spain. They are popular for beach and party holidays. The Balearic islands, particularly Ibiza, are world famous as a party destination. The Canary Islands are also part of Spain, even though they are some distance form the main land. Again they are popular for tourists hoping to get a bit of sun and beach. They feature some impressive rock formations and landscapes as they are the located on dormant volcanoes.

Learning a bit of Spanish can make your stay in Spain so much better.

The famous mountain range west of Sydney Australia is called the Blue Mountains.Nowdays Sydneys urban sprawl has pushed up to the base of the edge of the mountain range near at penrith and also in the the hawkesbury areas.

The mountains officially start about 60 kilometres to the west of Sydney.The famous Blue Mountains National park starts near the western side of the Nepean River and all the way in the west to the trout laden Coxs River.

The mostly sandstone plateaus and deep gorges can descend to over 700 metres can also rise at its highest points to over 1,000 metres above sea level.Most of the Blue Mountains is listed in the Greater Blue Mountains Area World Heritage Site which consists of a conservation area a well as seven national parks.

The rugged Mountainous area also includes the City of Hawkesbury, City of Blue Mountains, and the small City of Oberon and remote western city of Lithgow which to this day is hostile country outside the city.

It is well known that there were thousands of years of habitation before white settlers moved into the area.They have left us their art as a reminder of their presence.The well known hand stencil art is in Red Hands Cave at.We have also found axe sharpening areas.

The local koori`s mainly used two different routes to move round the rugged hills and valleys.The trails were on the bilpin ridge and the other was near the present day Cox`s river.The river paths were easier and lead onwards to the farms of the kanimbla valley.

Initially, european settlers considered the sandstone mountains impossible to penetrate due to the variety of extreme weather conditions encountered as well as the thickness of the vegetative canopy.The myth of the difficulty was encouraged by the authorities in the hope of scaring the convicts away from thoughts of escaping.

A released former convict, John p Wilson, is now believed by many historians to have actually been the first white man to have managed to crossed the Blue Mountains.He also lived with local koori`s and came back in 1797.He is the forgotten man in Australian history books.

J.P.Wilson descriptions of the wild areas he supposedly visited later proved correct to explorers but he was never offically recognised at the time due to perceived class distinctions and the realistic desire of the authorities at the time who did not want to give convicts any hope of escape.Wilson was murdered by koori`s after stealing a local women.

When you are trying to get a good feel for what a summer camp is like it is a good idea to check out the Summer camp Blog. Here are just a few things you might find at Swift Nature Camp’s Blog.

Expect to capsize and swim occasionally when paddling a canoe, kayak or raft – it’s part of the sport! But when you hit the water unexpectedly, even strong swimmers need a lifejacket, also known as a personal flotation device (PFD). It allows you to concentrate on doing what’s needed to execute a self rescue and will allow you to assist others. Nearly 70% of all drownings involving canoes, kayaks or rafts might have been avoided if the victim had been wearing a lifejacket!

When thinking about a Minnesota children’s summer camp think about Swift Nature Camp. We are only a few short hours from Minneapolis and many of our campers are from Minnesota. For others, Minneapolis and St Paul, the largest cities in Minnesota is where our campers fly in from all around the world. Some parent even plan a little vacation in the city of Minneapolis. It’s diverse and grand with many exciting things to do and see, including the world famous Mall of America. The great variety of food and entertainment alone are well worth visiting this great city to take advantage of. So make sure to plan enough time to visit the city when you bring your child to resident camp this summer. You may even plan on seeing some of our local campers form Minneapolis.

Catching frogs from camps own beaver pond is a huge camp sport at Swift Nature Camp. it is a challenge too. The big Bull Frogs put up a big battle to free them selves. We even have a favorite bull from the biggest meanest frog of them all JIMBO. Yes he is our mascot and is pictured on this page. Catching frogs is one of favorite things to do at this children’s summer camp. One of the best hunting spots is the lamp poles at night. You see the frogs come up from the pond at night looking for food and all the bugs hanging around the light will do just fine. One might wonder are you eating all these favorite catches. Nope they gan spend on night up at the Nature Center Zoo where they hang with the other animals anc catches then its back to where they were caught at. Next summer, join us for some serious frog catching.

Horses! Enough said. Today’s children often have their first interactions with a horse at summer camp. For most of us living the urban dream it is hard to have enough time in a day or space to own a horse. Yet at camp, children have the opportunity to get back to our American roots and have a relationship with a horse. Yes, a relationship! Horses have personalities, even more so than your family dog. Because they can do so much more, carry you through the woods on trails to places campers have never seen before. Our goal at Swift Nature Camp is to help children build this relationship while understanding basic horse care while learning how to ride.

We at Swift realize the importance that campers feel special while at camp. That is why we have created a special First Timer program for children who have never been to camp. Our goal is to help children feel self confident while quite possibly being your child’s first extended time away from home. We do this by having extra staff on hand for each and every camper needs. We are extremely proud of the fact that during Discovery Camp we limit each cabin size to only 8 campers with 2 staff members. That’s only 72 campers (ages 6-12) and 26 staff members ! We also have an Orientation Day, when campers not only get a tour of the camp, complete with a visit to the Health Center and the Mail Box, but also go to each activity area learning about safety in that activity. Within the cabin our staff works hard to promote a nurturing and harmonious friendships. This starts with a Respect List for all to agree to and sign and each night ends with a bedtime story. Due to the fact that all campers are new to this camp they are all on equal ground right from the start. We encourages each child to learn independence in a safe, age appropriate non-competitive environment. Our twelve day program is the perfect length of time for your first time camper to gain autonomy, leaving their homesickness behind, and feeling comfortable with their new-found independence. For many campers the greatest lesson camp teaches is that they can leave home, return days later and very few things will have changed, especially your love for them. Swift Nature Camp’s Discovery Program is the perfect match for any camper that’s a little concerned about leaving home for the first time. Read More at DISCOVERY CAMP.

If the girls have their Barbie, then the boy’s ultimate version will be the Transformers. I remember the glorifying feeling these toys have on me every time I see them in my room or even just in cartoons. Seldom will you meet people who dont know about them and the ever-fascinating characters.

1. Optimus Prime

He is depicted as a heroic, brave and compassionate character and has a strong sense of justice and righteousness. The original Optimus Prime transforms into a cab over semi truck then truck’s cab transforms into the robot mode of Prime himself, equipped with vast strength and armed with a laser rifle. Did you know that he’s name in Japan is Convoy?

2. Bumblebee

Of all the Transformers characters, Bumblebee is my favorite. Not only that he is adorably bad-ass but his prowess in Espionage proves to be perfect to his size (compared to other big transformers). Of all his transforming modes, The Volkswagen Beetle has been the most popular and my personal favorite too. And who could forget that unforgettable motto of his: “The least likely can be the most dangerous.”

3. Megatron

He is the worst guy of all in the Transformer universe. He is very powerful and utterly ruthless. His imposing robot form is dominated by his primary weapon – his arm-mounted fusion cannon and is best seen in his Jet form that does not only look slick but poses great danger because of speed and weapon’s attack capabilities up in the air.

4. Wheeljack

Wheeljack is the scientist of the Autobot forces. The weapons and gadgets, while invented for the benefit the Autobot, often bring great danger and introduce unpredictable elements into critical situations. Wheeljack is the most accomplished driver (while in car mode) among the Autobots and enjoys displaying his skill level through various road stunts.

5. Jazz

Jazz is the cool, stylish, and very competent member of the Autobots. He is the head of Special Operations and assigns the most dangerous assignments to himself. Jazz’s can adapt pretty well to whatever environment he finds himself in for he effortlessly tunes in to the local culture, assimilating and improvising, and making creative command decisions.

Psychologists pay all due attention to family life. A family unit is the most important unit as far as the demographic structure of any country?s population is concerned. It is important that we retain the structure of the family unit as such. Most of the countries and cultures existing in this world promote family life and family as a unit. Family life can be easily declared as the most important part of any one?s social life. Family life is important as it helps shaping you as a person.

The experiences you have with your family determine what kind of a human being you will be when you grow up. In today?s world family life is even more important. It is not cushy to make your kids learn to be responsible in the fast pace of life which we experience today. When you are a part of the family you automatically learn to be responsible for other family members. You learn to share whatever you have with the others. You feel the affection and love which only your family can give you. In this era family life is thus even more important.

Although in different regions of the world the family ties are apparently a bit different but in fact the ties are almost alike. The way we feel for our family members is the same no matter what part of the world we belong to. All these points establish that the family life is very important and all the people belonging to a family must place in their best to make their experience with their family even better.

People do get angry at each other when they are living together. They may sometimes disagree with each other. Such incidents must not be neglected as these minor incidents can result in a rift between the family members. To protect the strength of your family ties is your duty. In some situations parents have to bear the anger of their kids. The kids in general and especially those who are in growing age are sometimes very difficult to be handled. There may be more than one reason for your kids to get annoyed. As they are not very mature they behave in a very childlike manner. At this point the parents have to behave very maturely to handle the problems of their kids.

If you act properly you will be able to save your family. Otherwise it is very much possible that your kids may become distant. They may not interact with you if you are not able to make them trust you. Now this is your responsibility to provide them the well needed trust. Children of different ages can get annoyed at their parents due to different reasons. A kid may fight with his parents because he or she does not have the super bicycle a friend has. If he is a school-going boy he may get angry because he thinks he is not getting enough pocket money to spend, while his friends are richer than he is.

Now these are very silly reasons from an adult?s point of view. But the kids do react strangely when it comes to such small matters which look very big to them at that time. Being the parent you need to solve the issue with them. Being understanding does not mean that you provide your children with each and every thing they want to get or you allow them to do whatever they want to. They are immature and their anger is not permanent. Your role in this situation is to handle the anger of your kids in a positive frame of mind. The best way is to talk to them about it. If you discuss things with your kids they will feel closer to you and will react accordingly.
