The red houses village
Have you ever been in red houses village? A village might always not remind us of green color and grass smell, in a trip to Abyaneh(a village in Iran), color was the first thing that attracted my attention. All the houses and walls even the temples were red, because the soil contained iron. One of seventh incredible Iran’s villages with people in different colored costumes that still today dress and make their houses like their ancestors to preserve their traditions.
A 22 kilometer narrow paved road from Kashan(a city in Iran) to Abyaneh, every kilometer far from the city we were, tens of kilometers closer to the village, tranquility and & we were. It was quite in the middle of spring and despite the fact that in Tehran we hadn’t got much rain, there had been just two or three dry days, and also the day we were there was a stunning rainy day, in the blink of a eye it turned to a sunny day and a fantastic rainbow which I’d been waiting to see for more than fifteen years in Tehran’s sky made a memorable day for me.
A gallant and placid man with some bread in his hand who treated us with great amiability was the first villager that I saw there, without knowing us, he started talking about the village and showing us around, of course after offering bread, after a short walk we saw some women with ruddy cheeks selling homemade sundried fruit, fruit paste and special traditional scarves which they all wearing the same, to respect them we bought some delicious sundried fruit.
Another different surprising thing is about different occasions , specially Ashora, when they all gather in the village even their young children , who are mostly educated and live or study in cities , also wear costumes and have a very special mourning for imam Hussein , which attracts a lot of tourists who are seeking something out of ordinary .
If I go there once more, I’d like to be there in fall, to see the whole village even the trees in warm colors. I’d never forget its friendly and extrovert people, fantastic views, and the breezy weather.

Lunar New Year is a great holiday which give me time to do many things. I may have time to read, to enjoy music, to chat and have drink with friends, to get around the town, to visit relatives and to watch movies with boyfriends. Those things are hard for me to do in my studying time. On the new year’s days, there are many interesting activities for me to join. If you have chance, come and you’ll see!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Hello every bodies,
I am Sath. It is pleasure for me to share some ideas on the best holiday in my life.
First of all, I apologise to you all who get difficulty on understanding about my English written.
I have been to Angkor Wat where is a place for tourists from around the wolrd. It is located in the northeast province of country namely Siem Reap province. It impresses precisely to me when I hear about Siem Reap province. Let me translate the word of Siem Reap. Siem was a nation which was called in the past. Reap is a Khmer word actually and it is mean that DISAPPEAR OR LOSE. It was very proud of Cambodian in this province in the past. Now it becomes a famous place to show their beauty of ancient temple and scenery.
I went there with my family. It was very nice holiday because it was the first time for all my family members. All people in my family were happy and enjoyed with many temples. It was a good view of mountains and temples especially the sunset at the Bak Kheng mountain. I saw many tourists from various contries.
It made me fresh and never forget this day.
2nd May 2008 at 4:40 pm

3rd May 2008 at 4:57 am
the best vacation which i spend was for 12 days in sydney. it has nothing to do with city or the beaches over there but the countryside in new south wales. after a very long period i had those relaxaed days with love of my life. as i am working, eating, studying and sleeping from last one year. their was nothing adventurous left in my life but spending time with loved ones without ant sort of burden on your shoulders is such a relief from hectic life. it was awesome time and i must thank that one person for this holiday.

Last summer I went to the US for 3 months to take part in Work and Travel programme. From the trip, I realized a lot of things: America is not a utopia (there are plenty of homeless people on the streets, somewhere like downtown). Also, the relatives that I thought, at first, they might be helpful or welcomed me when I visited them but in fact, it didn’t work out in that way as I expected and that the complete strangers will help you the best they can, people like Nike staff. One more thing I learnt that there are still many many good people out there, (although it is said American people are very practical): the supportive managers in Nike store, the generous customers who are ready to share their Disney World tickets with me, or just simply a cheerful smile from the worldwide customers who are from different countries around the world, especially from South of America and Britain. I have to say that I never met so many nice people at the same time like that. and I still remember what Shamu said during the firework in Sea World: “Good friend is here when you need the most”. I always remember that and I would suggest you to go to Sea World if you ever visit Orlando. You know, people who are from the UK have a funny accent ;). (maybe I’m used to hearing American accent) Wow, during the time I worked for Nike, come to think of it, I wasn’t the best employee of the year (although every week, I looked up the noteboard but I never saw my name in the 5 best cashier of the week :((. and as the cashier I made the most mistakes, and then I realize something is that “do not fear or repeat mistakes”. I still remember that even the last day I worked there, I made Nike lose money and it was about $175 dollars or something and it was a mistake, there was a customer (British accent, I think) came to the store to buy clothes and he paid by debit card. The transaction hadn’t gone through and I was waiting for the computer to response and the receipt didn’t come out and when I looked back, the customer thought he already paid the money so he already left. And when the manager knew it, they called me into the office and rewound the video they recorded and watched, after that, they told me to be more careful the next time and they didn’t scolded me or asked me to pay back the money. I was startled and this was the life time lesson. I couldn’t sorry enough for the mistakes I made and they just said, everyone makes mistakes so don’t worry, just focus on the customer service. I still felt guilty until now. It was my fault. If talking about mistakes, I made thousands of mistakes when working there, something like the thief went to another store to steal things and came to our store to return it to get money. I nearly gave him the $500 dollars but at that time, I thought it was a big amount of money so I’d got to have the manager’s approval. And guess what, when they checked the barcodes on the trainers, they knew those pairs of shoes were stolen from another store. Of course, the stealer has to leave the shoes at the store and went. They didn’t arrest him because there was no evidence to do so. To be honest, I’m not so sporty but I like the way Nike works and now I start liking sport clothes ;P. now I know how to read a pair of trainers to see what they are for; running, lifestyle… or if the T-shirts are dry-fit or something like that. It was a learning experience. Besides Florida , I also visited some other states like: Virginia , Pennsylvania , and California . This is a good year for me, one of my dreams already came true: visiting Disney World, Universal Studios, Hollywood , Beverly Hills , Independence Halls, Liberty Bells,…. So I hope everyone also has a chance like this to visit places and learn new things. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes because from them, you learn a lot of things, more than others do ;).

The best vacation I have had was going to Hawaii for eleven days. What wonderful, amazing vacation! Every thing I saw and eat there was new for me. Everybody is very friendly there. You hear all day long ” ALOHA “. It is hi and goobye there. As soon as you arrive at the airport somebody comes and say “aloha” and put in your neck a big beautiful neckless made with local real flowers. The beaches are beautiful, one where I went the sand is totally black, can you believe that! The Volcano Park is speechless, you can see the lava coming smoothly and walk around some holes with the real steem, it is very hot!
I went to a “lual” for 300 people, it is a big dinner party with Hawaiians dancing their local dance and with special, local and delicious food. I loved evevery single day over there, I’ll come back.

The best vacation I ever had was back in the 1980’s, when we were doing very good as a family. Those days blessed us with many superb things, and so we got the chance to travel around this country and enjoy both landscapes and some cultural traits that are really good.
Besides, I was a teenager and so life was full of dreams and pursuits. That added flavor to the events.
I don’t forget about those days since nowadays things are far different, and trials have been hovering around for a long time.

hello,everyone. After the examination of postgraduate ,i took a short trip by myself. I went a beautiful place called FengHuang(its chinese name,i don’t know how to translate into English) .I don’t know how to express my emotion when i got there,surprise,happy, amazing? Well, it owns the unrivalled scenery .For example , the lake are as clear as crystal. On the one side of it stands a row of log houses, and the other side ,there is a lot of little shops where deals many commodities with national features .

The best holiday that I’ve ever had was definitely in the spring 2007 in France. My boyfriend was there as an exchange student and I visited him for two months. We lived in Angers which was a nice, not too big city about 400km from Paris. Most awesome were all the little trips we made - to the Alps, Italy, Normandy, Paris and some smaller towns in France. It was so nice to experience a different culture and see the many sides of the country. Alps were just amazing and so was the Normandy - I love the sea and coast they have there is really touching (things that happened in the world war 2) and beautiful and stays forever in my mind. I’ll definitely go back there some day! Paris truly was a huge and romantic city and I really started to like it during our many visits we had there.
22nd November 2008 at 12:24 pm
My best holiday was in Hae island. Hae island is the island in Phuket, the beatiful beach in Thailand. I loved this holiday because I had a good laugh with my big family. There were about 25 people in this trip. We liked to see a lot of fishes under the sea and we saw beatiful corals. My family liked to play the sport. I liked to see them when they played banana boat and parachute.
24th November 2008 at 3:28 am

The best holiday for me occured when I had chance to join EC. We hold the picnic to Thai Binh province. In that time, I have no money, so after some thinkings, I decided to join with people. We experienced a lot funny things: played some games, played football, went to beach, to paddy fields, took a lot of photos, and enjoyed tasty meals. One of special things I would like to mentioned about is I traveled with everyone without money, sub-clothings, helmet, and of course motorbike, nothing at all, include money…That’s an adventure actually

I am happy to work in this company as it provides us traveling twice a year. This summer we went to hot spring in the north of this province. We went there by bus and the greenery alongside the roads was very pleasant. We ate local food, sightsaw the Buhddist temple, and walked into the valley that was full of trees and flowers.
The came the exciting moment! Descending into the hot springs. In this place, there were tens of hot springs in different sizes. They were filled Chinese herbs that was said to be good to health. You may change from one to another and afterwards you feel relaxed and comfortable. Staying in hot springs help to shake off your tiredness. Looking into the sky and contemplating was also enjoyable.
We are going to another sping site this coming Xmas and I hope the trip is exciting, too.
18th December 2008 at 11:48 am
My best holiday was last summer. I and my parents went on holiday to Quang Binh. We stayed in a resort. I can see the beach from my room. We rode bicycles around the beach. In the evening, we ate seafood in the restaurant near the sea. I slept very well. In the next morning, I get up early because I wanted to see the sun rising. It’s my best holiday.
20th December 2008 at 3:49 pm

It’s one of most important trip in my life, When I went to mountain with classmates in trip of middle school, I can’t forget my friend who injured and I had first-acid but I didn’t know how used it, exactly I was afraid of using it for first time with real cases. Our teacher learn us how can do that and tell us to be careful when climbing. I was very amazing.

Hi friend
Iám from Sudan, last January we went on a picnic with my family to place near the Nile called (ELSABLOGA) , it is small fall over the river Nile.
All the day we keep running over the small Rock there.
we are very tired when we come back home but no one complaining about that because all of us spend a very good time.
It’s a very beautiful place I like to visit it again.

The best holiday I took was to the city, Bei Dai He, which is pretty close to ocean. I growed in a big city which is the capital of my country. It is hardly to be quiet during daytime. Nor did the night with noise from traffic. I was used to see full of people around me everywhere. So the trip to Bei Dai He was really exciting to me.
After 5 hours’ trip and got off the train, I was a little bit tired. However, I was in good mood when I saw the true blue sky which was impossible to see it in my hometown because of pollution. I quickly wrapped up checkin and went out toward ocean outright. I was surprised at first sight of sea which was gigantic, profound and endless. Even the air was quite different from the city. It was very fresh with the taste of sea. I was watching the ocean for half an hour and impressed by such scene. What a beatiful view! I sit on the beach for a few hours and quite enjoyed. The sound of wave relax me deeply and get rid of my tireness instantaneouly.

My best holidays were at the end of December, in New York. It was the first time for me that I left my continent to go to the states. My friends were with me and we had decided to enjoy the New Year on Times Squares. Unfortunately, it was so cold that we left for an other place at 7.00 pm…But we were inside of a bar and people danced on the music. Party was there too. I visited the MOSAM, the biggest museum of art I have never seen! I queued during around two hours to take the elevator of the Empire State Building but the view was beautiful! I ate in Chinatown in a little restaurant. I was suprised to see that most adds showed Chinese people only. We can really think we are in China. Another thing which surprised me was the tax on all: food, clothes, CD and so on. The tax is not included in the price. It’s not like that in my country. I slept in a youngth international hostel. It was not very comfortable but there were lots of young people of everywhere and it was interesting to speak with them! We can discover the differences between our coutries in that way.I loved to do shopping in New York, there were so much fashion shops! Lost of creators unknown opened their store too. People there believe in their dreams. Some left all behind them to try to realise their dream. I am also a dreamer. It’s for that I like this city! Don’t tell me my dream is impossible. Because nothing is impossible! And New York reminded me that!

My best holiday trip was to Jog falls in 2007 with 2 of my friends and my sister.The whole trip was really amazing and became a life time memory for me.We started at around 9:00 pm from my sister’s place in bangalore.We reached Majestic by 9:40.The bus complex is fully crowded .People are moving hurrily here and there.One strange thing I observed in Karnataka R.T.C was the bus conductors were standing at the front door of the bus and asking people around to get into the bus.There was a huge competetions between the buses for the passengers.We reached jog falls by 6:00Am.We asked the conductor about the places to visit in Jogfalls.The moment i stepped down from the bus I saw a big valley in just 2 feet away.There was a small protective wall and there was a view point.
The view from the view point was really amazing .There was fog everywhere and I could see the falls from there .There is greenery everywhere and its really a lot more beautiful than what i have imagined.I have taken some pictures there and there is tea stall where we enquired for the hotels to stay.All the hotels were booked and only one youth hostel was available for half day.Actually we planned to stay that night in jog falls.But unfortunately we could not get any accomadation.We have taken that room and finished our bath and got ready by 8:00 AM and started.It was drizzling out side .We walked for about half an hour and reached a hotel.We had idly and started.We reached the nearest view point and enquired about going to the water falls.The people over there suggested that the view will be good from the view ponit only and reaching the falls is very difficult.So we took a auto to visit the the highest peak .By the time we reach there it was raining so heavily that we could not see the person next to us.So we enjoyed the rain.We spent half an hour there We returned .
On the way we stopped at a place where there was hanging bridge.We enjoyed so much .In the rain fall we four were dancing ,running ,jumping on the hanging bridge and also we have taken some pictures and then started to the place where the falls are starting.There are total four falls raju ,rani and 2 more.Raju is the biggest fall of all the falls.Its asia’s second highest fall .I still remember people are looking down from the falls to see the end point.I was very scared and I decided not to see .But my sister and my friends forced me to see that.I just laid own the hill and then slowly crawled to the place from where i could see the end point.It was an astounding experience for me which i can not forget in my life.We spent there for 1 hour and we ate pineapples with salt sprinkled and muri chat .We all were shivering.We were totally drenched and in the rain .We returned back to the youth hostel and vacated the hostel and taken our luggages.We have taken a coak oom and kept our luggage there .It was 1 PM.Our bus was at 8Pm.We reached the steps to go down to reach the end point of the water falls.
The way to reach that point was with full of stones and steps will be for the 1/4 th of the way.It took 2 hours for us reach the end point.In the way there were some vendors selling lemon soda and water packets.Some steps are slippery as water is flowing on them .We four had to to hold our hands to get down.Finally we reached the place and the roar of the water fall is very high.We were in knee deep water and we had to walk for half an hour in the knee deep water to reach the place.Thestones in the water are slippery and we werwe falling down for evry on minute.The water flow is increaseing and none of us know swimming.There we met a group of 15 boys of 16yrs age.They helped us to reach the place.I can say the place is one of the best places in the world.It is one of the miracles created by nature .It was a very pleasant experience.We spent there for 1 hour and returned back.We were all exhausted by th time we reach the peak.We were all hungry .We went to a small shop near by where a lady is preparing bread omlettes.We had them .And we reached the bus stop by 7:30

It’s pleasant to know that someone is interested in Hanoi - my home - our capital where i always want to come back whenever i have vacation.
You can find a lot of interesting around the old streets where so many foods, restaurants are along with and I bet that most of tourists stay in HN eat a very famous PHO (beef noodles), CHA CA (fish fry) and…:) oww..im hungry…
As well as in the art galleries, souvenirs shop we will be tempted by vietnamese craft-things in Hanoi.
Offcouse it doesn’t has much supper-market but we will have more fresher and cheaper if go to local markets (are placed around the city).
Parks are small so don’t go there in rush-hours otherwise you might enjoy fresh air when you walk in, the 2 line of trees with, the streets in green Hanoi.

My best holyday was last December. I went to a farm near to Medellin-Colombia-(my city), the name of the town is Sopetran.
This town is hot, and every farm has a swimming pool. In this farm you can take the sun and burn your skin, so my skin is white and I put some cream to take the sun, and in a few days my color change.
My daughter loved the swimmingpool, she could stay all day inside, but the sun was very hard and she is a baby, for that reason she only can go into the swimming early in the morning.
I stay with all my family and we celebrated THE NEW YEAR dancing, and drinking Aguardiente (this is a tipical licor in my country)
Many relatives stayed with us, and we had a good time.
But all had to finish, and our vacations finished on January 2nd, we had to return home

I have been very happy at the first time I took an overseas holiday in Thailand.
Everything looks strange for me. There are alot of huge super market with many things for us to choice. The flea market is also attracting, we can bargin the price without any inconvenience from the owner shoppers.The sexy show also attracted me alot, I like it very much.
If having any chance to come to Thailand again, the sexy show is the first thing I never miss.

Best Holiday
The best holiday i’ve ever taken was that once traveling Hangzhou.
It was on an early Autumn of 2007. Our family decided go on a small trip to a city near Shanghai. Our plan was go Hangzhou to see around the beautiful views and have some fun.
Arriving at 10am on a saturday morning, the first thing we did was finding a hotel put down our baggages near the West lake. From here we went to Linying temple climbed the mountain and visited the temple, then went to Duanqiao a bridge with an old legends. We had lunch in a small restaurant near the west lake, the local cuisines are very delicious. After lunch break, we taked some pictures & visited some small souvenir shops. Time goes by fast. The landscape lights on the streets & mountains were all light up. We took a sightseeing boat enjoyed the night scenes & music fountain. One beautiful day was ended.
The second day we visited the the Yue temple. The statue stand in the temple in all his majesty. After we went to the silk market. We saw a lots of silk procucts like silk umbrella, scarves, garments… Finally my parents felt exhausted. My sister and i then went to a local foods shop, which sell the famous green tea. We bought some green tea and found some different kind of tea like jasmine tea. Then bought the train ticket home.The feelling to look out the window of the train was i hoped to stay for one more day. These experiences i will never forget and i’m looking forward to the next trip to Hangzhou.

A best vacation, it must be with the one you like and me too. That was a day in march 14th ,I went to madagui,Lam Dong with my university’s friends. It was the first I went so far by moto myself, we came that around ten o’clock , it’s cool and so differ from the weather at HCM city, it made me feel good .In that trip, I don’t join any of common activities ,i came along with some friends and take a look around to find interested things, but in the end …^^ I spend most of time with just one person for only one thing, walked along all the street we could find , talked about anything and took some picture…sometime we fought, went away and then tried to find each other on that night under the full star sky, not to consider, this will follow us and not to forget. The time went so fast when I were with that person.
In that time , i didn’t realize how much I care about him, but this kind of feeling bloomed slowly in my heart. Even now , I don’t know for sure what is this feeling, may I call it Love or just like but I know for sure that trip is best vacation that I’ve ever had in my life .

I think that best holiday is this holiday which you enjoy every our,every minutes.
more people prefer to spend their holidays with friends and playing games going walks,telling stories and laughter them.
On the other hand I enjoy my holiday to be alone with my wife and my daughter.I relax reading books,walking on the beach,looking the sunsets and etc.
