Here’s a great guide on how to enjoy Oktoberfest if it’s your first time.
| You race a mob of lads in leather shorts to find a seat in the packed, wooden tent. A busty barmaid whams down an enormous glass of beer. You drink to the cry of Prost! and get ready to do it again. Then you stroll outside and jump on the roller-coaster. |
| You’re pushed, pulled, stretched and slammed and decide this would have been a better idea before the beer! |
| Feeling hungry now? Nothing a plate of pork knuckles wouldn’t fix. Easy to fill your belly here, if you’ve got the coin for it. The sun goes down and you head back inside. |
| You start swinging your drink and singing along to the sound of oom-pah music. Soon you’re dancing on the benches with a dozen friendly locals. |

Here’s a surfer paradise in Mozambique, Africa.
| Mozambique is a paradise for surfers who crave adventure, with dirt roads, tropical to subtropical climate, wildlife and the thrill of surfing uncrowded epic breaks. It is located on the south east coast of Africa and is best known for its magnificent beaches, abundant seafood, spectacular diving and waves going off everywhere! |
| The Mozambique locals speak Portuguese and are always smiling, welcoming and friendly. This surprised me because it is a third world country which was devastated by war and floods. Malaria is an ongoing epidemic (make sure you take anti malaria medication). Happiness surrounded by such poverty is humbling; it opens ones mind to new ways of thinking, perceiving and accepting. |

Here’s a good review of the best nude beaches in the world, knock yourself out.
| What good is a Garden of Eden type Paradise if you can’t enjoy it Adam and Eve style? Fortunately, the authorities in charge of Makena State Park, on the island of Maui, understand that – and the locals appreciate the tourism dollars naturist travelers bring. |
| No less beautiful than Big Beach, Little Beach is kept clean and sociable by the Friends of Little Beach/Maui Sunseekers, who also sponsor nude half-day cruises several times a year. littlebeachmaui.com |

Here’s some more cool info on Chiang Mai, Thailand. I heard the smog is getting really bad in that area though.
 Chiang Mai is Thailand’s northern version of Bangkok. It’s the second largest city in Thailand and is the gateway to the jungles and cities of the north. Once a quiet little village, the city has morphed in the last ten years into a major business and tourist center. Large amounts of westerners began flocking here for jungle treks and a quite mountain setting but the crowds kept increasing and with it the locals flocking to make money off them. Chiang Mai now has a population of 500,000. |

Here’s a good read for you travelers going to Washington D.C.
|
All directions start with “The Beltway“…which has no beginning and no end, just one continuous loop that locals believe is somehow clarified by an “inner” and “outer loop” designation, which makes no sense to ANYONE outside the area.
|
The morning rush hour is from 5:00 to 11:00 a.m. The evening rush hour is from 1:00 to 8:00 p.m. During the summer, Friday’s rush hour starts  Thursday morning as residents head to the beach. Construction, lane closures and emergency preparedness drills occur during all other hours.

If you actually stop at a yellow light, you will be either rear-ended or shot at. If you not to stop for a red light, smile for the $100 red light photo ticket you will receive courtesy of the District’s DMV.

Here’s an abandened resort that looks good enough to stay in without the resort workers.
The locals say the area is now haunted….. This explains why the area was abandoned. But what a great design!
See for yourself. . . if you dare!! :
