I Agree with the airline companies!!!
I think fat people should pay double.
Firstly they are fat, so they're already used to paying double, when it comes to buying food and other groceries in the supermarket.
Secondly once a really fat boy traveled next to me, and he literally invaded my seat.
I had to squeeze myself into half a seat, while he was comfortably relaxing with his headphones on, oblivious.
I believe I can fly more comfortably with the new regulation.
And fat people should pay more for more space, the same way they pay more for more food !!!
I would like to call this travel community to express your opinion regarding this subjuct....

Language is the most important tool we have !!!
It allows us to get sustenance as a child, get virtually anything we want as an adult, and grants us loads of hours of entertainment through radio, music, and TV. Here are the most important languages in the world !!! 1 ---> Mandarin Speakers: 1 billion+ As you probably know he most widely spoken language on earth is based in China, the most populated country. Beating second place English by a 2 to 1 ratio, but don?t let that full you into thinking that Mandarin is easy to learn. Speaking Mandarin can be really tough, because each word can be pronounced in four ways, a beginner will invariably have trouble distinguishing one tone from another. But if over a billion people could do it, so can you. Try saying hello! To say ?hello? in Mandarin, say ?Ni hao? (Nee HaOW). (?Hao? is pronounced as one syllable, but the tone requires that you let your voice drop midway, and then raise it again at the end.) 2 ---> English Speakers: 508 Million While English doesn?t have the most speakers, it is the official language of more countries than any other language. Its speakers hail from all around the world, including New Zealand, the U.S., Australia, England, Zimbabwe, the Caribbean, Hong Kong, South Africa, and Canada. I would tell you more about English, but you probably feel pretty comfortable with the language already. Let?s just move on to the most popular language in the world. 3 ---> Hindustani Speakers: 497 million Hindustani is the primary language of India?s crowded population, and it encompasses a huge number of dialects (of which the most commonly spoken is Hindi). While many predict that the population of India will soon surpass that of China, the prominence of English in India prevents Hindustani from surpassing the most popular language in the world. If you?re interested in learning a little Hindi, there?s a very easy way: rent an Indian movie. The film industry in India is the most prolific in the world, making thousands of action/romance/musicals every year. To say ?hello? in Hindustani, say ?Namaste? (Nah-MAH-stay). 4 ---> Spanish Speakers: 392 million Spanish is spoken in just about every South American and Central American country, not to mention Spain, Cuba, and the U.S. There is a particular interest in Spanish in the U.S., as many Latins immigrated to the states. 5 ---> Russian Speakers: 277 million Mikhail Gorbachev and Boris Yeltsin are among the millions of Russian speakers out there. Sure, we used to think of them as our Commie enemies. Now we think of them as our Commie friends. One of the six languages in the UN, Russian is spoken not only in the Mother Country, but also in Belarus, Kazakhstan, and the U.S. To say ?hello? in Russian, say ?Zdravstvuite? (ZDRAST-vet-yah). 6 ---> Arabic Speakers: 246 million Arabic is of the world?s oldest languages, Spoken in the Middle East, with speakers found in countries such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, and Egypt. Furthermore, because Arabic is the language of the Koran, millions of Moslems in other countries speak Arabic as well. So many people have a working knowledge of Arabic, in fact, that in 1974 it was made the sixth official language of the United Nations. To say ?hello? in Arabic, say ?Al salaam a?alaykum? (Ahl sah-LAHM ah ah-LAY-koom). 7 ---> Bengali Speakers: 211 million In Bangladesh, a country of 120+ million people, just about everybody speaks Bengali. And because Bangladesh is virtually surrounded by India (where the population is growing so fast !!!), the number of Bengali speakers in the world is much higher than most people would expect. To say ?hello? in Bengali, say ?Ei Je? (EYE-jay). 8 ---> Portuguese Speakers: 191 million In the 12th Century, Portugal won its independence from Spain and expanded all over the world with the help of its famous explorers like Vasco da Gama and Prince Henry the Navigator. (Good thing Henry became a navigator . . . could you imagine if a guy named ?Prince Henry the Navigator? became a florist?) Because Portugal got in so early on the exploring game, the language established itself all over the world, especially in Brazil (where it?s the national language), Macau, Angola, Venezuela, and Mozambique. To say ?hello? in Portuguese, say ?Bom dia? (bohn DEE-ah). 9 ---> Malay-Indonesian Speakers: 159 million Malay-Indonesian is spoken to your surprise in Malaysia and Indonesia. Actually, I kinda fudged the numbers on this one because there are many dialects of Malay, the most popular of which is Indonesian. But they?re all pretty much based on the same root language, which makes it the ninth most-spoken in the world. Indonesia is a fascinating place; a nation made up of over 13,000 islands it is the sixth most populated country in the world. Malaysia borders on two of the larger parts of Indonesia (including the island of Borneo), and is mostly known for its capital city of Kuala Lumpur. To say ?hello? in Indonesian, say ?Selamat pagi? (se-LA-maht PA-gee). 10 ---> French Speakers: 129 million The most romantic language in the world !!! French is spoken in tons of countries, including Belgium, Canada, Rwanda, Cameroon, and Haiti. Oh, almost forgot France too. We?re actually very lucky that French is so popular, because without it, we might have been stuck with Dutch Toast, Dutch Fries, and Dutch kissing. To say ?hello? in French, say ?Bonjour? (bone-JOOR). |

Hi, my boyfriend and I are off to Sri Lanka for the Easter holidays and are up for a bit of an adventure and some very chilled beach huts somewhere quiet. Before I buy all the guide books I thought I'd see if anyone had any tips. Does anyone know of any place that are off the beaten track by yourself? Any tips would be very welcome

I like Tenerife and found it more enjoyable than Gran Canaria. There is an aquarium on the west side in Puerto de la Cruz and shopping is all its little towns. There are the Pyramids of Gumar to see which are built along the same principles as those in Mexico and Peru. This island is jam packed with things to see and I will visit again. It can get rather cool here in the winter. If you are on a budget there are hostels. The one I stayed in only charged me for a single even though they didn't have single rooms and this was in high season. Do a little research and you will be able to have a cheap break.

Malaga is great and I have been twice. From Malaga you can catch the train to Torremolinas. There are heaps of bars, restaurants and shopping. You can go further south to Fuengirola, Marbella and Gibraltar. Dont forget to get your typhoid injections if you are going to swim in the sea. All the sewage along the coast goes direct into the sea. I'm amazed at the people who don't know this but after a storm it is very evident. There are nice little villages to visit inland and you take the train for these also and when you leave if you are flying out catch the train to the airport.

Costa Blanca is great place to spend your holidays. Best thing to do is just to hire a car and drive along the coast and experience beautiful cities like Alicante, Benidorm, Calpe and other small towns!
