A Taste of Namibia!
January 14, 2008 By
Vibrant City of Windhoek, Namibia
Sand dune of the Kalahari Desert
Sunset in Namibia!
This is one of the youngest countries in the world; it gained independence from South Africa in 1990. I almost went to this country when I applied in becoming a missionary way back when I was in my college days but it never happen.
Anyway Namibia is known for being dry land, an evidence of that is the Namib Desert known for being one of the oldest deserts on the planet. Though Namibia is a dry place it is also home to many creature that are well adapted to hot and dry climate. Some animals don’t even drink water to survive they just get the moisture they need from plants they eat.
Namibia generally attracts eco-tourists with the majority visiting to experience the different climates and natural geographical landscapes such as the great eastern desert and plains. There are many lodges and reserves for eco-tourists to travel to and stay over. A piece of advice though the country has not yet eliminated parasites that carries malaria, sleeping sickness and dengue so be prepared. Ask your tourist physician for your proper vaccination or where to get any medicines that repel these diseases. That’s all for now and hope you’ll enjoy your trip!
Calling Doctor Fish!

Doctor Fish Therapy
It may feel itchy!
This is the latest buzz I’ve heard from far away Republic of Turkey.
Did you know that Turkish people have doctor fish? You’ve read it right Doctor Fish or Garra Ruffa! Even I could not believe it but there is a kind of fish in that country that heals wound due to psoriasis. They live in hot springs created by volcano vent, yup hot environment. The fishes actually eat the dead skin created from the flaking of psoriasis. It really sounds grouse but believe it after being eaten by Dr. Fishy wounds really heal. Whoa imagine how it feels when fishes feast on your skin continuity.
Scientist already made their conclusion regarding doctor fish. According to them this fishes have high calcium and protein content, a valuable minerals that helps in clotting skin lesions. The sulfur content of the spring water may also contribute to the healing process because sulfur is an antifungal mineral.
Even with the advent of modern medicine, practices like the Doctor fish therapy still plays an important role in healing psoriasis for the some Turkish people. Nice one ha.

South Africa, also known as rainbow nation, due to its ethnically diverse population. Well I have never been there but I’ve heard so much about it.
The country has so many adventure spots that is surely enjoyable. They have safaris particularly the world renowned Kruger’s National Park. This Park was established to protect the natural wonders of South Africa. They have animals that are only endemic to Africa. Lions, cheetahs, Hyena, elephants and many others are some of the great pride of this country.
Apart from the safaris the country also boosts its cool waters along the coast of Cape Town. It’s a surfer’s paradise to people who have surf boards. Accordingly the gigantic waves of this country is brought about by the Benguela Current, that is why it is home to a yearly event that draw in tourist all over the world the Billabong Pro.
Meanwhile South Africa will be the host nation for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, which will be the first time the tournament is held in Africa. It will again be the center of the world when soccer fanatics gather in South Africa to cheer for the team.

Watch TV and Travel…
December 29, 2007 By
Overlooking Ciudad de Santiago, ChileHello there everyone I’m here again to say something about my day… Well we had these long break once again but I’m kinda bored here at home. Staying at home is no longer my routine because I got used in working 9 hours a day, meaning I stay in the bank longer than in my house. Somehow I found something to keep myself busy and that is to watch TV.
I would like to share what I have seen on the cable. Have you seen the show in Discovery Travel and Living entitled “Passport to Latin America with Samantha Brown”? I recently watched the show and I was so fascinated about the places she had been in South America. On her episode she went to Santiago, Chile and mingled with the locals, people are Spanish speaking and they do have a very busy lifestyle. Accordingly Chile is the most prosperous nation in the South American continent to date, and it really show off to the people because of their modern lifestyle. Though they have the western lifestyle they are still proud of their ancestral heritage of being native Americans. Some locals built shop that displays their cultural traditions. They sell goods that are totally Indians, like spears, sombreros and even woven clothes like ponchos and many more.
Samantha also featured the scenic spots of the country, Santiago-the vibrant capital of Chile is situated on foot of the Andes giving the people nice view of the snowcapped mountains, a wonderful place to behold indeed. Waterfalls were all around the suburb and could you imagine that all water falling from these falls were actually coming from the melting snow of the mountains?. According to her it was very cold but refreshingly good. Wow I got to try those haha if it’s possible.
Meanwhile what I like most of the episode is the culinary creativity of the Chilean people. Most of the foods are mixed flavor of the European and American Indian influence. Just like the beef recipes which are so flavorful and tasty to look at. Wines are also a proud product of Chile, with rich and fertile land the country has a lot of winery which is comparable with the European counter parts.
Chile really has so many exciting things to offer, it is a wonderful place as told by Samantha Brown. From the time I saw the show I now have it in my mind that one day I could visit this country and wander as a tourist.
That’s all for now and have a blessed New Year to all! Adios!
