TALKING ABOUT MY OWN COUNTRY



Brazil was inhabited solely by indigenous people, mainly of the Tupi and Guarani ethnic groups. Settling by the Portuguese began late in the 16th century.
Brazilian are reputedly one of the most hospitable people in the world and foreigners are usually treated with respect and often with true admiration.
Almost the entire coast is lined with fabulous beaches, and the beach lifestyle is a big party of Brazilian culture, Nowhere is that more true than in Rio de Janeiro, with its laidback, fli-flop-flooted lifestyle and famous beaches like Ipanema and Copacabana.
The Northeast has jewes like Praia do Futuro, Boa Vista, Porto de Galinhas and Morro de Sao Paulo which bring in throngs of travellers, particular Europeans. In the South, weekend revelers flock to Ilha do Mel or Balneario Camboriu, while the 42 beaches of Santa Catarina Island draw in thousands os Argentina tourists every year. Hundreds more beaches lie ready to be explored as well.

BRAZIL CARNIVAL


 The biggest party in the world takes places across the country every year, lasting almost a week in February or early March. It is celebrated in a wide variety of ways, from the giants boneco masks of Olinda and the trios elétricos of Salvador to the massive samba parades of Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo. For a relatively more subdued atmosphere, check out the university-style street party of Ouro Preto or the sporty beach party at Ilha do Mel.

Argentina


Argentina is one of the biggest countries in the world that is said to be the "land of six continents" all in one. The best idea may be to devote a vacation to each region in order to enjoy the most of it. You can travel from deep in the rainforest taking pictures of exotic animals and plants, to watching opera in at the Buenos Aires the capital of Argentina.

Places to go in Buenos Aires:
Shop San Telmo, La Recoleta, Mar del Plata.

San Telmo in Buenos Aires to shop amongst vibrant colors, exotic boutiques and cobble stone streets. If your feet still have energy, then take off your walking shoes and put on your dancing shoes to enjoy the vibrant life of the tango.
Or if you just want to rest, relax at one of the world's best opera houses named Teatro Colon.

Other places you may enjoy are the La Recoleta, a famous Argentina cemetery where aristocracy and military officials are buried including Juan Peron, several presidents and wealthy characters.

BALI




Bali is a land that seems to have a magnet at its very heart. It is a feeling that is difficult to understand unless experienced but once visited you are surely compelled to come back and you may even want to stay forever, such is its pull. Maybe its Bali’s beauty, maybe the friendly people, or maybe even the influence from spirits that certainly abide in this place. 
Bali's capital city is Denpasar.

Population 3 million people increasing.

The majority of Balinese practice the Hindu religion which they call Agama Hindu Dharma, Religion of the Hindu Doctrin.

AMAZING THAILAND




Thailand is often referred to as a golden land, not because there is precious metal buried underground but because the country gives off a certain lustre, be it the fertile rice fields of the central plains, white sandy beaches or the warm hospitality of its citizenry.


Visit Thailand for me was more than wonderful.
Rich culture, delicious food, nice weather, beautiful beaches, easy going lifestyle, really good beer, and above all the biggest magnet of Thailand is Thai people who created those charms.

Places to visit there: Phi Phi Island, Big Buddha Hill, Patong Beach, Thai Boxing (Muay Thai).

Penguin Island WA


To get up close to Little Penguins and other incredible wildlife, visit Penguin Island just off the coast of Perth.
This small island is home to one of the largest colonies of Little Penguins in the State. It’s also a popular place for swimming, snorkelling, diving and picnicking.
You can go penguin watching at the Penguin Experience Island Discovery Centre where the animals are fed each day during the season. The island plays an important part in the marine environment of Shoalwater Islands Marine Park.





The penguins that live here were either rejected by their mothers as chicks, and raised by wildlife carers or nursed back to health after injury.
On Penguin Island you’ll also see a big variety of seabirds, many of which are rarely found on the mainland. There’re walk trails and boardwalks around the island to ensure no breeding areas are disturbed.

PINNACLES WA


The extraordinary ancient rock formations that make up the Pinnacles are located about a three-hour drive north of Perth near the coastal town of Cervantes.
Regarded as one of Australia's most unique landscapes, these incredible limestone spiers rise eerily out of the sand, some several metres tall. You can get up close to the Pinnacles on a scenic drive and walk trail that includes an amazing lookout over the Nambung National Park. It's believed the Pinnacles were created millions of years ago as seashells were broken down into sand and then eroded by water and wind.
The Pinnacles Desert Discovery, an interpretive centre has displays that provide an insight into the natural processes that formed the amazing pinnacle structures as well as information on the biodiversity of the park.
The Pinnacles are easy to access by car or you can take a coach or four wheel drive tour from Perth.
