Every summer thousands of people go out in search of a great vacation. Sometimes they end up with something undesirable and other times they get what they paid for. Ask a tourist whats he looking for in a vacation destination, enjoyment and adventure are the most common answers. Here is most fantastic touristic destination I’ve been too.
Thailand
Facts
Small country in South East Asia, slightly larger than Spain, bordering Bruma and Laos from the north. This country had about 13.4 million international visitors in 2007, numbers have been thought to have grown rapidly and should be at 20 million by summer of 2011. Which will be approximately the same number of visitors a year as Mexico and Canada, second only to China in the Asia.
Things To Do
- Kite Fights, fun and easy, an activity in many Asian cultures. In Thailand this is done as a competition between Women and Men. You can watch or either participate if you can flight a kite.
- Watching Muay Thai fights. there are 100s of Muay Thai tournaments in Thailand each month, you will probably come across a few. Watching athletes trade thunderous blows with no protection is something amazing.
- With more than half of the population being Buddhists, there many temples around. Meditation is one of the most relaxing activities, sitting bear feet in a temple with thousands around you meditating is a great sight.
There many things to do in this wonderful country, wine testing tours in Bangkok, meeting the lady boys, diving with sharks(not great white sharks) and many other adventures. Can’t wait to return in a few weeks…

The colored flags in racing have a certain meaning. We always see in races, someone waving a flag that has multiple colors. There are about 7 flags, they each have a meaning. So while driving, the racer needs to remember what all these flags mean and when he sees one he needs to react to it. The first three flags have a pretty straightforward meaning that anyone with knowledge of driving rules would know. Green flag means the start of the race, Red Flag means stop for an emergency, Yellow Flag means don’t pass. Now the tougher flags, the white flag means the leaders are starting their final lap, the black flag means there was a rules infraction, a blue flag with a sideways stripe demands the racers to slow down and the last flag is the checkered one which means the race is done.

One may think that such a solid ritual would have quite an epicenter of an origin. But the truth is far from that, a baby tooth would be placed under the pillow you would place under your head, then overnight the Tooth Fairy would place money under that. But the true myth is a compilation of several stories from old European Customs. In Venice, it was the story of an old witch who would do the job of giving money for teeth. In France, it was the Virgin Mary that gave candy or money for teeth of the young. Some cults buried the tooth underground, others threw it at the sun for good luck or to please the gods. The fairy, like all other fairy was an Irish custom, so when they arrived in North America in the 19th century, the custom of the Tooth Fairy carried over.
