Licking Berlin

9 June, 2010 - 22:47 — Ed

Berlin is a huge, vibrant city. It has more than enough distractions for every kind of tourist, and really does seem to have something to do at any time of night.
But the best thing about Berlin is that its history is pressed so firmly into your face that you could lick it. And, with Germany's famous purity laws in effect, you won't pick up any nasties in the process*

For example, I decided to meander between Kreuzberg and Warschauer Strasse, and I stumbled across some beautiful gardens following the course of the old Luisenstädtischer Canal. While this doesn't immediately scream "History!" at you, it turns out that this canal was 1st started in 1852, but the project was abandoned then restarted several times due to the upheaval that Europe was experiencing (2 World Wars, being just part of this). At some point the canal was filled in and provided the foundation for part of the length of the Berlin wall.

Africa a destination of aid or haven of investment opportunities

1 June, 2010 - 04:05 — africanskillexchange

Africa if not misrepresented then underrespresented and as it  is now it has been relegated to the corner of the globe. This Era of globalisation is repositioning Africa as haven of investment opportunities. In the area of Eco tourism the continent has a huge potential , there are several mouth watering opportunities for destiantion marketing companies, travel agents , young international interns and volunteers can explore the possibilities abound in this marvellous continent.  Unidentified philosophy said:'' to discover new oceans you must lose sight of the usual shores''. and again if the only tool you have in your hand is hamer you will see every problem as a nail. its better to see something once than to hear it hundred times, come to Africa and see opportunities , you would be glad you did.

Why a bike?

7 February, 2010 - 22:17 — Ruanpos

READ MY BLOG AT www.exploresa.wordpress.com

I’ve been wanting to write this post for a while now because it’s been one of those questions that I’m asked every time I tell the story. Why do you want to ride 9000km with a cycle? The usual answer is – it’s not about cycling its about the story… but today on my training ride to the Vaal Dam I realized that it is about the bike as well.
