Holiday checklists are not just something for the excessively fastidious amongst us, they are a basic necessity. Planning a holiday can be on par with planning a bank job in terms of unforeseen eventualities and overall complexity. The more law-abiding of us will hopefully have had more experience in the former and so should have some prior knowledge of those unforeseen aspects. You should not , therefore, feel like a bespectacled librarian...more
For most of my life I have been fascinated with other languages. I recall being somewhat excited about the prospect of studying a language in High School, but the end result was a great disappointment. In two years of study of the Spanish language we barely knew anything past finding out about names, telling about going to the movies, or asking where the bathroom is. In two years we had done little more than cover the basics and in the final...more

So the other day I was looking for apartments for rent and I came across an ad for cheap holidays apartments in Aya Napa. Intrigued, I started looking a little close and found that Aya Napa is actually a section of the island of Cyprus in the Mediterranean. It's supposed to be an absolutely lovely place to visit and spend time in. One of the places that sounds particularly cool in Aya Napa was the famous water park. Located just outside the city, but accessible by taxi, it is supposed to be one of the best in the world and certainly one of the biggest in the area. Tourists and the locals will mix here since everyone comes in order to get the incredible adrenaline rush of going on the death defying rides. It can get a little loud and crowded though, so if you want some quiet, it's probably best to go to the beach, but if you want that rush that comes from living on a knife edge, you should definitely go for it. I certainly plan to. The place is supposed to be pretty easy to find, located near Nissi Road. And of course if you don't have a car, like I said, just take a taxi. And not to worry, there are lifeguards on duty everywhere at the park, so you needn't be too concerned while...more
