Rome to discover: cycling routes

April 22, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

There are many paths you can travel in this way, some of which allow you to explore lesser known areas of the city m, equally striking and in particular allow to visit parks and green areas which other minds would walk farther to reach and perhaps would eventually stand aside and not taken into consideration as travel destinations, or even stages. A nice idea is to get into town by public transport such as buses or trains, then rent a bicycle with which to enjoy walks and visits unusual monuments. An interesting route is the one that provides the route of the various bike paths that are not readily available within the city or those that cross the Tiber from the banks, which in spring are real dives in nature (although they the defect of not being used when river water levels rise because they are completely submerged). 

The proposed route is 16 miles but given the numerous works and sustainable you can do is not tiring at all, rather it shows full of ideas and things to see. In addition, the route is slightly downhill with a slip between the level and river and road and winds through sections of bike path, whether made by the famous Sanpietrini and some sudden, quick motion and still be covered in a safe manner, with the slightly uneven road however, all well marked with appropriate directions. This course is very interesting because it provides a particular point of view of the city compared to how you visit and you observe that the usual way from the bottom. 

Starting from Ponte Milvio the numerous tracts of newly built bike path lets you pedal to the banks of the Tiber, which allow you to stay in close contact with nature, water and away from traffic noise and all of its tracks as we are talking about are below street level, a privileged point of view, therefore, that allows us to capture the details that would otherwise go unnoticed and sidelined from the great architectural and artistic works of the eternal city. Is in fact reached the prestigious embankments of the Tiber from Ponte Milvio beyond the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Foro Italico and then go through the Tiber by Michelangelo and pass the Ponte Cavour. You will enter the most interesting section is rich in monuments of the entire route that allows you to see Castel S. Angelo and the Vatican. Continuing in the track marked by cobblestone bridge goes Vittorio Emanuele and you can walk along the slopes of the Gianicolo. Crossing the Piazza Sisto you can access Trilussa Tiber Island where they land and then the boats that cross the River. From there, the bike path leads to Portaportese before reaching the viaduct Eur Magliana and reach the station in the same neighborhood.

A Word On Foreign Languages

April 22, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

English is the official language of tourism and business. So by knowing English you can get by just about anywhere in the world quite well.

Many airport, hotel and tour agency employees are required to speak English. Most tours are available in the local language and in English. English is spoken almost everywhere in the world by at least some level even if at a basic one.

Trying to communicate without speaking the language can be frustrating, but with patience something will be worked out. You can use pictures, hand gestures and nods to communicate and you can always point to words in the dictionary.

You don’t need to learn the language of every place that you’re going to visit. English is usually enough, but sometimes it would be to your advantage to learn at least a few of the most common words in the local language.

Adventurer, explorer and linguist Sir Richard Francis Burton developed a system that helped him learn how to communicate in foreign, even complex languages, in as little as 30 days. He realized that most languages use only about 500 to 1,000 of the same words over and over again. After learning the most used words of the language, basic grammar and some phrases, he was able to speak and understand 90% of the used language.

To learn a foreign language quickly buy a book that has compiled 1,000 or so of the language’s most useful words. Also buy a book on basic grammar and phrases.

Daily, write down new words and phrases on index cards with their translation on the back of the card. Study these cards and include time to study basic grammar. Keep these cards with you and at odd moments during the day review them. Aim to learn 25 new words/phrases each day.

Once you know a few hundred words pick up a publication in the language that uses basic reading skills. Read it out loud to help with pronunciation and underscore with a pen every word you don’t understand. Look these words up in a language dictionary and write them down on your index cards for later review.

Listen to tapes, radio or television programs in the language of study. If you know people who speak the language practice talking to them. Start thinking in the language. Replace words in English with words in the foreign language.

Follow this method everyday and in a month’s time you will know at least 750 words, some phrases and you’ll have an understanding of basic grammar. You will be able to communicate on a basic, but effective level. At this point your progress will become rapid.

The green spaces of Ragusa

April 22, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

A city like Ragusa can offer much to its visitors. The first thing that comes to your mind when people speak about a Sicilian city is probably the sea. Sicily is an island, and it is surrounded by the sea, or better to say by seas. Wherever you go on the coasts of Sicily, you can be sure you will find a wonderful sea to immerge yourself in and to relax. And the province of Ragusa makes no exception, on the contrary: last year Marina di Ragusa was awarded as the best beach of Italy. What else comes to your mind when you think about this beautiful Italian region? Its monuments, perhaps: cities like Palermo and Catania are well-known all over the world for its monuments and buildings, but in all the Sicilian cities there are treasures to discover and interesting sites to visit. In Ragusa, just to make an example, there are many monuments that are part of the UNESCO world heritage. And what about food? In Sicily there are so many typical products and dishes to taste, that you really risk to get fat after spending a holiday in this region! Once again the city of Ragusa is an excellent example in this sense: many typical products that you can taste in this city are safeguarded by the European Union, and Ragusa is also ranked among the first thirty Italian cities in the chart of high quality food and wine. Some of the special products of this area, like honey and Modica chocolate, are famous all over the world.
