Places to Visit

If you want to be a tourist, you may be easily disoriented by the non-stop advertising. A tour can be planned only to suit your personality. It is more advantageous to plan a tour suited to your culture, your readings, your background. The approach may be different. I know people with money (of course, they are never enough), and with a tremendous will to travel. They “travel” just to spend, they barely have the power to please their spirit by the beauty of nature, of art, of history, and they never will accept publicly such a thing. So, where to go in the Summer Season? In Turkey, it’s affordable and the Turks serve you right. Of course they keep you pampered, it’s money involved, and they never want to loose their “wonderful hosts” label they received in the last twenty years. There aren’t many people prouder than the Turks, and yet they are humble as resorts hosts. They respect work, they respect a service and they’re willing to learn when possible. Of course there is a great spirit of imitation and cheapness as well, there are sometimes methods which work hundred percent, a risk isn’t required. Hyatt Hotels have an international training system and they offer the same treatment in Istanbul as they offer in Los Angeles.

Kempinski is likewise. I was impressed by the rates. The rates are affordable, considering these five stars famous hotels, Hillary Clinton choose the Grand Hyatt to stay when visited Istanbul, as First Lady, a few years back. About Kempinski is more to say, in Istanbul they have a lease which involves the last Sultan’s Palace, Çirağan. But, in Istanbul one may stay with twenty five Turkish Lira per night, as well, not quite spectacular, but decent :).

I found a book who recommended a few hundred places that deserve to be seen, before they disappear. One of them is The Dead Sea, in Israel. The Dead Sea is drying up because it no longer receives enough water from the Jordan River and other sources to offset the rapid evaporation caused by Israel’s arid climate. To save the Dead Sea from going completely dry within just a few decades, a sustainable balance between water flowing in and evaporating out will have to be restored.

Another place is Mount Kilimanjaro, in Tanzania. The famous snows of Kilimanjaro are melting and may soon be gone. A combination of evaporation, too little snowfall, and internal heat from the dormant volcano have reduced the mountain’s ice and snow cover by ninety percent from historic levels—and it continues to retreat about one meter a year.

There are indeed a few hundreds of such places, and you have to manage funds like Cousteau, to put your foot on all of them, not counting a ship like Calypso. A great recommendation was somehow suggested in the beginning of this post. Visit Istanbul before it changes entirely. Dead Sea can wait. Let the Rothschilds find a solution for it. By no paying the foreign construction workers wages and with Bar Rafaelli’s image, the Israeli entrepreneurs may collect more than enough to re-create the “balance”.
