- Don’t you leave Tunisia before buying your friends and family Tunisian crochets of all shapes and colors! - Do make sure to drink between 1 and 3 liters of water a day while in Egypt; after all, it’s a desert! - Don’t miss the Mauritius shopping arcades that offer you clothes, fabrics, jewelry, books and other products, sometimes at duty-free prices. - As cliché as it is, don’t ever be late in Germany, people won’t understand! - Don’t take your favorite doll with you to Cuba on New Year’s Eve! It will be burned to symbolize a new beginning!
PACKING TIPS AND TRICKS:
- To Spain, you most definitely should pack goggles to participate in La Tomatina festival! - To Cape Town, all you need to pack is your party clothes! - To Greece, bring your washcloth with you because most hotels don’t provide them. - Ladies, to Singapore, bring your best dresses and high-heel shoes, the country likes fashionistas! - To Italy, make sure to pack shoes that fit various terrains and that will work with different clothing. - To Morocco, you certainly need a scarf. - To Vietnam, you most definitely should pack mosquito repellent. - While traveling to London you must think about the weather and pack warm clothes with an umbrella. - To Turkey, we suggest you take an empty bag with you for the cotton clothing that you will buy.

FRANCE “Age doesn’t matter unless you are cheese or wine!” And a trip to France doesn’t culminate unless you taste its cheese and wine! One bite and a sip of the food and drink of the gods would help narrow the mystery of this certain je ne sais quoi that makes France so captivating! A tour in the Loire Valley, a look at the Eiffel Tour and a walk on the Champs Elysees would all have a different appeal when mixed with Paris’s finest treat to the taste. Come to think of it again, not only is it a treat to the mind, but to the body as well. With the hundreds of benefits that French wine and cheese have on our health, maybe the saying should become “Age does matter unless you eat cheese and wine”!

With more than 1,500 different types of beer, Germany ranks second in worldwide beer consumption per person. Okay! So, you know by now that an order in a restaurant is not going to be as easy as you thought.

Germany has more than 300 types of bread which makes it possible for you to savor one different taste every single day throughout a full year. Well, given that this country has embraced the likes of Beethoven, Goethe and Bach, maybe we should all reconsider the choices we make to quench our thirst and hunger! Cheers!

MALAYSIA No need to pack any other footwear! You can leave to the airport with what you are already wearing. After all, you will have to take your shoes off before entering a Malaysian home or even shops. So, the only time you would need your sandals, or maybe tennis shoes, would be while rafting, river cruising and cave exploring – all of which are opportunities never to be missed in Malaysia! Another site you wouldn’t want to step into barefooted is the diverse forests that cover two-thirds of the country and are believed to be more than 130 million years old. You definitely don’t want to step on the world’s largest flowers with no protection! Who knows? They might bite! 40

MAURITIUS It is every translator’s nightmare…and every tourist’s dream. No matter your language, you are most probably to find someone in Mauritius with the same dictionary.

In other words, the only creatures who might find it hard to understand anything you say probably belong to the marine life that you are surely to meet when you take the oneof-a-kind submarine tour offered in Mauritius. Fun is a universal language, true! But in this modern Babel, you will experience fun in whole new levels…and tongues! 44

Tea time! Whether you are having a business deal or making a casual visit, any time in Morocco is tea time.

Traditionally served three times, tea in Morocco is said to be as bitter as life the first time, as strong as love the second time and as gentle as death the third time. However, after strolling through the blue streets of Chefchaouen, steaming in a traditional Moroccan Hammam and contemplating the enchanting Majorelle Gardens in Marrakech, we know for a fact that every sip of tea will taste as sweet as Morocco itself! 50

The Nepalese say “opportunities come but do not linger”! We say “mountains come but do not linger”! No, it’s not a mistake! We literally mean “mountains”… more specifically the most extraordinary mountains in the whole wide world; i.e. none other than the Himalayas. This youngest mountain range covering more than 75% of the Nepal is actually geologically alive! With their southern front moving approximately 20 mm every year, it is estimated that in 10 million years, the Himalayas will have moved 1,500 km into Asia! Now, we know 10 million years is a long way to go. Still though, we wouldn’t want to miss the chance of exploring the most geographically rich land on earth. So, come on! Better early than late!

Now, you might head to Oman in the hopes of unearthing the riches of this once-wealthy frankincense trade center. But instead, with a day tour in the enchanting forts of Nizwa, a sightseeing ride in the fascinating Muscat City and an unparalleled safari in the Eastern Hajar Mountains, you will end up with an invaluable cultural wealth that the historical gold-paved streets of Ubar wouldn’t compare to! 54

Careful not to get caught in the encierro though! While it might be fun to watch the bulls run through the streets of Spain as the matadors guide them to the bull ring, you might risk angering one of them and losing many more teeth than Ratoncito can compensate for! 60

Who said “words are all you have to take someone’s heart away”? In Tunisia, a bouquet of Jasmine is more than enough to do the trick! Jasmines, for Tunisians, speak much louder than words, where an odorless winter flower conveys the message of dissatisfaction while from a Jasmine dressed in white emanates the scent of love. As for those of you still looking for the one-and-only, wearing a Jasmine on your left ear translates to: “I am single and ready to mingle!” So, put your dictionary aside; no need to learn Arabic.
