World (15)

Traveling in the last minute could be inconvenient: you have to pack up a great deal of clothes to get to that you want to go, however you need only a little time to make sure that you pack your clothes well and you don't miss anything or forget any necessities and toiletries.

You should get your tickets, have a ready schedule of all of the things that you might be supposed to do ? and book an inn without having to spend big money on using a last minute trip. A great deal of travel agencies and hotels know this tendency of folks to do things on the last minute, and so they promptly up their rates to be able to get more money beyond last minute travelers.

Strategies that you can avoid this, however, regardless if you are anticipating plenty of last minute travel, or you're already within the fray and looking for a accommodations in. there will be no dearth of discounts specifically if you are in a tourist friendly city, where a lot of hotels can not wait to acquire clients or customers regardless of what time of the year, no matter how long it took to get making the booking.

One method to avoid ever getting bad rates is always to actually speak to your travel agent beforehand and request for discount rates for hotels in case the day comes once you actually need those reductions for some last second travel. Your agent may have contacts at some hotels, possibly at some hotel chains that may extend their professional services abroad, so you can talk to your tour operator about what minute rates are good even before you need them.

An additional way to get good discount hotels for eleventh hour travel is usually to do last minute travel during non-peak months in a certain country or location. Of course this looks counter intuitive, but when you suddenly need to go on a vacation and would like to go immediately, and you are at a non-peak time, next the can be a wonderful means for you to spend less, and by simply going within a time when all hotels will have discounts anyway.

Still another way is to book your last minute hotel stay online. You will find many online reductions for hotel bookings in the first place, and last second bookings might have some special discounts attached to them providing you are not bumping facing a hotel that carries a lot of guests on its reservations list. It's also possible to access hotels online through kiosks inside your international or local airport, and if you're at the airport and awaiting your flight, or if you have downtime between packing sessions, it is possible to go online and quickly build your bookings.

Lastly, if you're already at a location and it's really the last minute, locate a hostel or pension house first. In this way, you can spend the night time or the first two nights in a decent location, keep yourself safe and sleeping soundly, then get to see the sights while searching for a hotel. That knows? You may actually like your cheaper lodgings, particularly when you're following your sights continuously and will spend more time outside in comparison to!

when i was in school, i used to study religion. it was a crappy class, because of the pointless hour we were spending. learning again and again about orthodoxy -cuz this is what it actually was, not something interesting <for example religion's history>.religion can be a very interesting subject if you know how to put it in the eyes of your audience. religious dogma is a philosophy, and, if you don't have any clue of other types of philosophies, is pointless to call others ignorant.

anyway, there was this time when the teacher managed to create a more vivid reaction from my fellow colleagues, as i am naturally half asleep and the other half somewhere in the cosmos of my own imagination, and i was pretty much the same at that time. she <the teacher> put the question:"what will you do if today, at 7pm jesus will come on Earth?". no reaction, of course. she told us to write the answer on paper. i can't recall my own answer, but, probably i was hungry at the moment and, as 7 pm was close, i said i'll eat some maccaroni and cheese, or whatever my mum was kind enough to provide. others, ze believers, said they go to greet him<with capital h on their papers>, others that they won't be at home at that time, because the bus will still be taking them home, so jesus better find another hour to pop on Earth. etc.

the teacher seemed unhappy with our answers. what? what's wrong with macaroni? than she takes a deep breath and say:"if jesus comes on Earth again, it means THE END OF THE WORLD, dummies!" oh. shit! we're such ignorants!the end is coming and we are still on the bus?

of course, that's not the way the things really happen. well, not literally. thinking at the fact that this planet is bursting into curses against us, in its own way, and we continuously ignore the signals, it's pretty low for the human being who claim they're smarter and more capable than the rest of the fauna and flora we share the world with, to keep stretching the borders of cheeky behavior against our own home.

and we are indeed more capable. no other specie sabotaged themselves like we did. and still do.

so when the glaciers are melting, polar bears start disappearing, it's the end of the world dummies!

I know I said I was going to talk about cultural diversity, but first I want to bring up an important info I just received...From January 25th thru the 29th, Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul is going to be hosting the World Social Forum 2010 (http://www.forumsocialmundial.org.br/).This is the sixth time Brazil hosts this event, receiving social initiatives from all over the world aiming at promoting and fomenting social, democratic, participative actions.This years the cultural panels at the WSF will be focused on the discussion about creative cities, perphery culture, independent culture or free culture.In Brazil, cultural policy has taken a swerve since 2003 in the discussion of culture as a key element for development. Culture is understood as a threefold phenomenon: culture as a key element for democracy and citizenship, culture as an economic activity and culture as a simbolic expression. Therefore, culture is regarded as a key issue for social sustainable development, rather than simply "beaux-arts"... culture is recognized as a simbolic expression that has a fundamental role in building a democratic, non-violent, collaborative community.. instead of promoting culture in central locations, in buildings and arenas designed espeacially for that purpose, Brazil focus on the decentralization and universal access giving space to the fruition of periphery cultural movements and collaborative social networks and independent or free cultural initiatives.Of course these creative cities and periphery cultural phenomena are just starting in Brazil and are far from being equally distributed in the brazilian territory. they are in fact concentrated in some cities and they do develop a great work in building social networks with collaborative methods.This Forum will receive many of these intiatives, some of them from Porto Alegre and the surrounding areas, and other from all over the country and the world, in order to discuss culture and cultural policy aiming at the development of a collaborative agenda for the social development.This is a website of Pontos de Cultura - cultural spots (http://www.cultura.gov.br/cultura_viva/?cat=4), which are some of this periphery initiatives, I was talking about..that's it for now!www.elewiit.com.br
