But, actually, Australia is washed by 3 oceans. Australian capital is entitled Canberra. Australia is an incredibly large country, it has everything: mountains, desert areas, fertile regions etc. Population of this country is rather large 21 million. If to turn to etymology, Australia is a Latin-word, and it can be interpreted as “South Land”. The territorial division of Australia is rather interesting, it comprises of 6 states, 2 mainland territories and some other areas and each “piece of a land” has its own authorities.

On the pages of this Travel Blog you have already got acquainted with Thailand, its location and some interesting information about this Paradise Country. But, recently I found out, that a famous movie with Leonardo DiCaprio “Beach” was filmed there. On Phi Phi Island. It is a real Paradise on the Earth, white sand beaches, warm and gentle water of the tide. It is amazing that Leo was there too.

 

This video is a perfect one, like no other it shows natural beauty of this region and reminds us, that everything can look ideal and astonishing even without a people’s intruding! The Islands look deserted and uninhabited, they seem untouched, the water is so clear and fresh, it was an ideal place for the movie “Beach”. Thailand itself is very popular among the tourists, but I think this movie add some popularity to it!

My friend told that the name of excursion is “Phi Phi Island Maya Beach Leonardo DiCaprio”, may be one day it will be called in the honour of Leonardo!

Also, while talking about Russian tea ceremony we can name a special double-teapot, one serves a tea-packet. Tea is put there and another is a some kind of reservoir. As a rule, the Russians prefer black strong tea to green tea, they drink it with such a herb, as mint.

Recently there were named best places for tea-drinking. Namely, The Dorchester Hotel got Top London Afternoon Tea Award 2007 as one of the most appropriate places for tea-drinking. Why?

In July and November there are monsoons in Thailand. This period is also called a “rainy season”. After such level of precipitations it is easily to presuppose that from February to March the weather is dry and warm. By the way, it is the best time to visit Thailand. It is not a secret that the largest amount of tourists came in August and in winter. If you hate crowds and adore low-season rates, come there in spring, June and in the first-half of autumn.

These houses are integral part of any house, because spirits attracts positive energy and good luck. they make people healthier and wealthier.

Very important rule – place of your spirit house installation must be carefully planned even before building a new house. If in the course of time, you decide to change your house – make it bigger or smaller, the same changes have to be implied to your spirit house.
