Locatestreet: the random location game Top 10 Hilarious Travel Stories If you travel extensively, you should have a few essentials: a carry-on bag that fits into the overhead bin, a valid passport, all the required inoculations, a pair of comfortable walking shoes, and perhaps most important of all, a sense of humor. The ability to laugh at one's predicament comes in handy when you're confronted with the absurd situations every globetrotting adventurer faces sooner or later: lost luggage that keeps arriving at whatever destination you've just left, unpalatable menu items, bizarre local customs, and the occasional encounter with a fanatically officious, deeply suspicious border guard in a country where you don't speak the language. But rest assured that it could be even worse -- or at least more amusing. Travelers long have regaled their friends with tales of road weirdness. Travel stories have provided comic fodder for writers from Homer to Mark Twain. 10: Now This Is Packing Light 9: When Insults Are a Sign of Affection "Joola?" "I like rice?

All of the free interactive activities that are available | Online Games and Quizzes | Bradley's English School Jayce White | Travel Bug's Travel Blog In the humorous travel anthology “Not So Funny When It Happened,” Australian writer Jayce White recalls a trip to Zimbabwe in which he was awakened one morning in his humble accommodations — a round thatched hut at Victoria Falls — by an infernal uproar. A troop of baboons ran amok outside “swinging from light poles, and bashing out industrial dance beats on garbage lids and barbeque amenities.” Oddly, White’s companions slept right through the noise, so he was the only one awake when “a baboon the size of an adult wookie” demonstrated his ability to turn a doorknob, burst into the room, and nonchalantly pulled up a chair at the dinner table, inches away from the bed where White was lying, and began to chow down on the travelers’ leftovers from dinner.

Comprendre le “Bloody Sunday” à Derry, en musique et films | TRAVEL AND FILM Vous connaissez tous cette chanson si célèbre « Sunday, Bloody Sunday » de U2, mais savez-vous bien de quoi elle parle et ce que Bono raconte dans ses paroles ? L’histoire du Bloody Sunday = dimanche sanglant Le 30 janvier 1972, à Derry en Ulster alors que les catholiques d’Irlande du Nord manifestent encore pour l’égalité avec les protestants, les parachutistes britanniques ouvrent le feu sur une foule totalement pacifique de 20 000 personnes, faisant 14 morts et autant de blessés, parmi eux beaucoup n’avaient que 17 ans. Les manifestants ne s’attendaient pas à cela ayant eu l’assurance que l’IRA ne sèmerait pas le trouble ce jour-là. Ils manifestaient pour leur droits civils, pour obtenir le droit de vote comme les protestants car à l’époque il fallait être propriétaires pour pouvoir voter, or la plupart des catholiques n’étaient pas propriétaires de leur logement. Ils luttaient aussi contre l’incarcération sans procès de personnes soupçonnées d’attentats. mural du bloody sunday
