You will feel time goes slowly when you see the narrow but tidy street, the fairy tale like log cabin and the kind and friendly smile on the faces of local people. If you believe that having a travel is to get rid of all the shackles in life, the Evian Town can help you forget everything.

At 5:00 am, the day in Evian town is coming. Wandering near the Raymond Lake, you can see some sailing boats and barges moving slowly far away and there are some swans and mallard nearby.

Going along the quiet road, you can see flowers everywhere, standing on both sides of the narrow and clean street, near the tidy grassplot, hanged on the nice log cabin, gathering in front of the gentler sculpture. The independent small houses on the mountainside seem as the work of the famous master, with delicacy. The worker operating the cropper would stop his work to kindly say "Bonjour" to you. Once in a while in the early morning, you can see the children riding the bike in the big garden, free from all anxieties, as if people should live in the free space like this.

If I am asked to advise the most beautiful place in Russia, I think Siberia doesn't decline to shoulder a responsibility. This vast land is like a grand painting full of Russian style. Once upon a time, I went to the cold Siberia for work. The city of Irkutsk that time did not give me a good impression. But all changed when I went there again last year.

 

Irkutsk, the second largest city of Siberia area, is called "heart of Siberia". This city plays many roles such as the research base, penal colony, the city for rushing for gold and so on, in its about three hundred and fifty years history. It is near the Baikal Lake and is the distributing center for passenger transport and freight by the Siberia railway. There are also many important industry establishment and scientific research. The local people always say proudly,” you have never been to Siberia if you have never been to Irkutsk."

 

If Irkutsk is a heart, then the rivers run through it are its blood vessels. Angara River as its main artery goes through the city. Angara river goes from Baikal Lake and then forms a big lake bay called Irkutsk sea where there are mild climate and pleasing scenery. Here is a story: there is a huge stone in the exit of the water of Baikal Lake. Near the lake lived a brave man called Baikal with his beautiful daughter called Angara. Baikal loved her daughter very much, is also very strict with her. One day, Angara and a young man called Yenisei fell in love with each other, but Baikal did not allow that firmly. Angara had no choice but to leave home when her father was sleeping like a dog. After Baikal woke by a sudden, he threw the huge stone in order to turn back the way by which his daughter went.  Angara had been away from here many miles. The stone stands here from then on.

 

There is white snow every where for the season reason when I get here many years ago. The sunshine is warm and the river is calm when I come here another time. This river area is so wide that it deserves its reputation-the daughter of Baikal Lake, graceful and flowing. There are wild flowers all over near the lake in summer while there are red leaves all over in autumn. Here is a ideal place for the local people to have a holiday.

Dean Martin had the right idea when he fondly sang the tune about Napoli. One of the many cities located in the south-west portion of Italy, it is found of Campania. Irrespective of Campania. No matter what village you stumble upon in the area, Campania is completely one of the most heavenly places to see in Italy. The view is surprising and you will feel like you stumbled right onto a country Italian postcard.

The land of Campania is made of majestic hills, cliffs coated with Italian dwellings and some of the most fruitful valleys and land in Europe. Grape vineyards in all sizes and shapes and styles found in the region and do quite well thanks to the delicious soil that calls Campania home. The result's an abundant harvest of world-class wine. If you're a holiday maker seeing Campania for the 1st time, the best way to do so is by driving the coast. The coast is downright surprising with the immaculate shoreline. Vividly colored sunsets cast shadows of pink and orange which bounce off the Mediterranean and onto the encompassing hamlets. Life moves a little slower in these cliff villages, which only attracts the holiday makers even more.

The cuisine out of Campania is famous. Today, you can get pizzas stuffed with pineapple, ham, mushrooms, spinach, or anything more that lights up your taste receptors. In all the places to see in Italy, the food you run into will most likely have come from Campania. This region produced such amazing tasting cuisine, the rest of Italy adopted them as their own. Pastas adorned with rich tomato based sauces are customarily made right at home with their famous San Marzano tomatoes. Try walking through one of Campania's open air markets to sample some local grown produce. Figs, apricots and citrus of all varieties are turned out all over the region. You will relish waking up the following morning with the Sea breeze floating through your room prompting you to a day of sailing or fishing. Shopping is a pleasure as the goods out of these hamlets are usually handcrafted and extremely unique. At the end, places to see in Italy dim in comparison to these towns dotted along the Amalfi coast. When most travellers head to Italy, they straight away go to the main tourist spots like Rome, Florence and Venice. Though tasty in their own right, the region of Campania is where Italy's true beauty lies. When planning your places to see in Italy, do not forget to add Campania to your list!

When speaking of potatoes, people always consider that they are so common that they are not worthy to talk about. But in the German's eyes, the potatoes are so excellent food. The German have a special love to the potatoes. The potatoes always help the German solve all kinds of problems every time they meet. 

 

The potatoes museum in Munich is one of the three potatoes museums in Germany. This museum collects thousands of potatoes that come from all over the world. Besides the yellow potatoes, there are also the purple, black and red potatoes while they are in different shapes such as round, pine cone, moon, strip and so on.

 

The museum shows people the potatoes history and some kinds of delicious potatoes food by the way of paintings and sculpts. It is said that the potatoes are not popular when they are introduced into Europe because people say that they are the food for the nation which is uncultivated and conquered and can cause lepra and the noble Europeans never eat tuber food like that. The change of the attitude of Germany people to potatoes must owe to king of Fridrikh in Prussia. In the middle of 18th century, murrain and nature disaster strike Germany which result in total crop failure and lots of death for hunger. In this time, king of Fridrikh remember the potatoes which are easy to plant and can live lovely without careful care. He first vouchsafes the potatoes a royal reputation by letting the royal female leaguers wearing the potatoes flowers. Then, he asks the soldiers to plant many potatoes and send the most picked army, returning when night, to protect them when the potatoes pullulate. As a result, the curious peasants steal the potatoes by night. Generally, the planting of potatoes are popular. Up to now, you can see the potatoes are always putting in front of the grave which is in sans souci of Potsdam in Germany of king of Fridrikh.

 

Recently, the finance crisis befalls again. The diligent and saving German begin to eat potatoes again. There are many kinds of potato food such as potato powder, potato stripe, potato bolus, and potato rack and potato cake. In a word, there is everything about potatoes one expects to find in the supermarket in Germany. There are also some new things coming up about potatoes: potato hotel, travel service about potatoes, potato monument. In the state of below Saksun, when a young man and a young woman are in love, they would give a potato to each other because the potatoes are as precious as love to the local people.
