Travel - 15 August 2007

I've won a luxury European weekend break for two - woohoo! It's all expenses paid and includes a 5* hotel, posh meal and spending money.

There's a small choice of destinations but I've narrowed it down to two: Venice or Barcelona. Which would you recommend and why?

Unfortunately I have to take the wife with me, so no begging to come along please ;-)

Thanks!

On 11 May, 1964, six Turkish Cypriots were kidnapped from work, home etc., taken to a place called Protaras, near Famagusta in Cyprus. They were shot dead and buried in a well. Their families waited for decades. They had children, little babies, who do not remember their fathers. After 43 years their bones were found. After DNA tests, identified and given to their families. One of those daughters who was 7 months old at the time happens to be my best friend. I was at the funeral this morning.
I believe Tasos Papadopoulos knew all about this and was at least partly responsible for it. Does he feel any pain or guilt?
Similar events are taking place on both sides of Cyprus. Isn't it enough that people have suffered such pain? When are we going to learn to live together?

get married a couple of months before wedding night? I think it's called 'Kateb Etab??'

One friend tried explaining to me but I didnt really get it.. Why do you officially get married but not move in together.. and do they sleep together or do they wait for wedding night?

My friend told me that the religious ones dont even touch till wedding night... question is why? if they're already officially married?! I'm clueless!!

If you must move outside of the city where you live in now, and assuming that Metro Manila is not an option, where would you live? Why this choice?

Or is it worse than it was last year. I am talking even in minute degrees, so there is no "just the same" option.

Why do you say so?

Ok, so I was just in Israel for a little over a month! I came on the Taglit-Birthright trip and then stayed there longer with my brother! I LOVED Israel and cannot wait to come back!
I want to spend my whole summer there next year and possibly make aliyah there in a few years.
Another idea I had was to go to school there next year and see if I like it. But that costs a lot of money!
Does anyone know how I can find out about the school programs to study there?
And how can I make aliyah there myself, considering I am only 18 years old!
Please help!!!
Toda!

Hi. I plan to backpack through Europe, and I am always inspired by those who had successfully gone on those trips and returned home safely.

I would like to understand, do I personally book hostels in the individual cities/countries that I wish to explore, via websites?

No matter what beautification programs are put in place, the shanties by the railways just totally negate the urban facelift initiatives.

Should the shanties be demolished, even at great political cost?

This time, I am not asking about faith. This question is PURELY on the basis of aesthetics, architecture, historical significance, uniqueness, or maybe even size. Only churches in the Philippines, please.

I have my favorites - - - Miag ao, Paoay (Ilocos Norte), and Majayjay (Laguna) Which ones are yours?

I noticed that very few Filipinos now go to church.

Do you go REGULARLY? Catholic, Christian , which church?

No one passes judgment on anyone's beliefs. I am just curious just how many YAPpers actually go to church.
