Bali: The Paradise Island E-mail
Jul 20, 2010 at 08:50 PM

The island of Bali offers a vacation experience like no other. Glorious beaches, lush rainforests, luxurious villas, and a fascinating native culture make this island a true paradise for visitors.

Bali is an Indonesian island on the western end of the Lesser Sunda Islands. Its capital is the city of Denpasar in the south. Visitors tend to flock to Kuta, Sanur, and Jimbaran, all southern coastal towns, but the central town of Ubud and other parts of Bali are equally compelling. Gleaming white and black sand beaches ring the island's shores, lapped gently by the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. Rich coral reefs surround the island and allow for superb snorkeling and diving. The island rises in mountains toward its interior, and bursts with tropical flowers and trees. Bali's rainforests are home to hundreds of species of rare birds as well as monkeys, bats, wild cats, and other creatures.

The train that never stops E-mail

This is a  brilliant new Chinese train innovation - get on & off the train without the train stopping. This idea is published and demonstrated yesterday and we would like to show you the idea and concept of it.

The concept saves on the acceleration, stopping and slowing down time of the train. The bullet train is moving all the time. If there are 30 stations between Beijing and Guangzhou, just stopping and accelerating again at each station will waste both energy and time.

Calculating an average 5 min stop per station will result in a total loss of 5 min x 30 stations or 2.5 hours of train journey time!

Naturally, since the connecting cabins will move forward along the line and will need to be sent back with the returning train to avoid piling up at the end of the line. In addition, this system must be computerized in order to control the high speed involved in accelerating and stopping the connecting cabins. Nevertheless, this is a very invocative concept.

Eilat's Dolphins E-mail

A travel journey took us 3,000 Km from Amsterdam to Eilat, the southern city in Israel where we found the Dolphin riff, a magical place made for Dolphins and people, in that order.

The group of Dolphins are happily living there with their trainers, however, don't let the term trainer to delude you, there are no shows to the crowd and the dolphins do not amuse anyone unless they want to.  The only so called show is when the Dolphins are being fed. Other than that, one gets to take a pic in a dolphins group living in the riff and having active social life. The visitors can see the dolphins, swing or dive with them as long as they keep their distance and respect to the dolphins.

We thought you would like to see that for a change the humans are doing something form the dolphins.

London is one of Europe's most favorite travel destinations. People love the big city that offers everything packed in a polite British accent.

Fish & chips, shopping, bubble deck buses and polite police officers were all there when Amsterdam Spoke visited the city lately and enjoyed its rare good weather.

The reporter visiting the city could not resist and joined Sandeman's New Europe Tours that include a free tour of about three hours, covering some of London's major tourist attractions and sites.

This popular tour is highly recommended and one does learn a lot about the city. We brought you here a short video to give you a little taste of the tour.
