1        A combination of accommodation and transport, a camper van is a great way to get around. You can spend your holiday at your own pace and enjoy some quality time with your family. As you are in charge of the driving, you can choose your own routes. But perhaps the best thing of all is having your own conveniences on board to make your trip easier.

2        If you fancy the idea of getting away from the congestion in the city and would like to experience what life used to be like in the past, then come and join us at ‘River Farm’. We are an organic farm that does more than just grow vegetables! We also educate the population about the environment. We seek gardeners who are available this summer. Benefits include a weekly salary, private housing and a beautiful, relaxing environment.

3        You will be met at Beijing International Airport by one of our representatives and taken to your accommodation. The following morning we will commence our journey to Simatai by luxury coach, where your adventure will begin. Please, make sure yoy have comfortable shoes as the Great Wall, like a great dragon, winds up and down!

4        It was an unbelievable experience – the scenery so white and yet there were varieties of white I had never seen before. The giant icebergs we sailed past were almost close enough to touch; the penguins and seals ignored our presence and continued their usual business. And in the far distance I caught sight of a whale. Amazing!

5        Inside the diving cage my knees began to shake. Then, as if out of nowhere, the great white shark appeared. Brought by the smell of the sardines, it circled near me, its razor-sharp teeth just centimetres away. Its powerful body shook the boat before it descended back into the depths of the ocean.

6        Can you imagine going on a journey and not knowing where you are going to go? Perhaps you would like to take a risk or leave the decision to someone/something else? Then all you need is a dice. Throw it and decide where to turn – odd numbers mean turn left, even turn right. You never know what surprises lie ahead!

7        Yoga is a journey of discovery where we learn to value ourselves and understand who we are. The practice of yoga is said to improve a person’s health and well-being. Its aim is to bring together our material, physical, mental, intellectual and spiritual levels so that we feel at peace with ourselves.

1        Belgium has always had a lot more than the faceless administrative buildings that you

can see in the outskirts of its capital, Brussels. A number of beautiful historic cities

and Brussels itself offer impressive architecture, lively nightlife, first-rate restaurants

and numerous other attractions for visitors. Today, the old-fashioned idea of 'boring

Belgium' has been well and truly forgotten, as more and more people discover its very

individual charms for themselves.

2        Nature in Belgium is varied. The rivers and hills of the Ardennes in the southeast

contrast sharply with the rolling plains which make up much of the northern and

western countryside. The most notable features are the great forest near the frontier

with Germany and Luxembourg and the wide, sandy beaches of the northern coast.

3        It is easy both to enter and to travel around pocket-sized Belgium which is divided

into the Dutch-speaking north and the French-speaking south. Officially the Belgians

speak Dutch, French and German. Dutch is slightly more widely spoken than French,

and German is spoken the least. The Belgians, living in the north, will often prefer to

answer visitors in English rather than French, even if the visitor's French is good.

4        Belgium has a wide range of hotels from 5-star luxury to small family pensions and

inns. In some regions of the country, farm holidays are available. There visitors can

(for a small cost) participate in the daily work of the farm. There are plenty of

opportunities to rent furnished villas, flats, rooms, or bungalows for a holiday period.

These holiday houses and flats are comfortable and well-equipped.

5        The Belgian style of cooking is similar to French, based on meat and seafood. Each

region in Belgium has its own special dish. Butter, cream, beer and wine are

generously used in cooking. The Belgians are keen on their food, and the country is

very well supplied with excellent restaurants to suit all budgets. The perfect evening out

here involves a delicious meal, and the restaurants and cafes are busy at all times of the

week.

6        As well as being one of the best cities in the world for eating out (both for its high quality

and range), Brussels has a very active and varied nightlife. It has 10 theatres which

produce plays in both Dutch and French. There are also dozens of cinemas, numerous

discos and many night-time cafes in Brussels. Elsewhere, the nightlife choices depend

on the size of the town, but there is no shortage of fun to be had in any of the major

cities.

7        There is a good system of underground trains, trams and buses in all the major towns

and cities. In addition, Belgium's waterways offer a pleasant way to enjoy the country.

Visitors can take a one-hour cruise around the canals of Bruges (sometimes described as

the Venice of the North) or an extended cruise along the rivers and canals linking the

major cities of Belgium and the Netherlands.
