whats that one thing we love the most? parties and games. maguluf has a number of places where you can have fun and interact. there are bars where people play drinking games and other sorts. another are bars where people can dance and have fun with there friends. swimming pools are also a big part of the night life as there have foam parties where people dance and interact in a world of foam.
there's that one thing that all people do to have a fun; some more than others and thats thrill seeking. here you can go bunjy jumping and have a superb once in a life time experience with all your friends. another is banana boating an old ride that is done for enjoyment, thrill and achievement. jet ski's are very popular in magaluf and it also is a quick, fun and exhilarating way to have pleasure
what a the most important part of the holiday? the beach. the beach is a place you can sunbath and get a tan and just relax and have a good time or you can go for something abit more physical with beach volley ball and interact and make new friends. and that one other thing-the sea. the sea is where you can call of and swim into the crystal clear waters into an aqau marine adventures.

Dear Friend,
I would propose for our upcoming holiday that we venture off to Rome. "the eternal city". "why"? you might ask well:
Rome has had its fair shares of history as its on of the leading cities in Europe which surrounds itself on the timeline on events which changed the world. The roman empire , Julias Ceaser,etc. These are just some of the great things to have been Bred in Rome.
As well as offering a huge history Rome also is made out of this history as The Colosseum, The Trevi Fountain and the pantheon are all world renowned places which are located in this history enriched city. If we get tired its a 45 minute trip to the beach to cool off. How about that 2for 1 the best a city can offer. Rome is in europe and in fact its in driving distance. I used to have a cousin who lived in rome and now lives in Calafornia and she said it was the best city ever Furthermore rome offers some of the worlds most renowned foods in the whole word Pasta, Pizza, Spaghetti, all of these foods designate in this city.
We could take a cruise from our hotel to the roma stadium and maybee we could spot francescco totti who is a great football player who dosent ever want to join another team other than r
in addition we can check out the clubs and parties to see what rome has to offer. Whattaya Say?
Thanks, Reply over email

Dear Pierrè,
ReplyDeleteI honestly think that we should take a vacation to the Amazon Rainforest. Wait! Before you ask why, I am going to ask you a question! Why do you want to travel to a typical holiday destination such as ‘France’ or ‘Spain’? I mean Pierrè, get real! Be different! Be unique! Be GREEN! Moreover, did you know that the Amazon Rainforest constitutes half of the total rainforest of the Earth? The Amazon Rainforest is one of the most remarkable, out-of-the-ordinary places on this planet as well as a most generous gift from our Lord. So instead of wasting it, we should visit it and see its beauty for ourselves!
First and foremost, the Amazon is by far the most adventurous place on this planet. Imagine how many experiences there are that we still haven’t taken part in! For example, look how gripping Ray Meir’s documentaries are. Wouldn’t you just love to join the enthralling, exciting and enchanting activities that take place in the regions of the magical Amazon Rainforest? Furthermore, imagine all of the poison antidotes we can observe and take note of.
Imagine how much knowledge we could gain whilst enjoying ourselves! In addition we would know how to react to emergency situations concerning toxic substances if God forbid we were ever involved in one! Also, I bet you that you were not aware that almost every medicine contains an element that originates from the amazing Amazon territory. The amount of substances that come to use from the regions of the Amazon Rainforest is absolutely gob-smacking, and if we visit the Amazon, we could learn what substances cause diseases that are known to be un-curable and hard to treat.
Another factor that I would like to remind you of is the contrary difference of scene from the beautiful, breath-taking, peaceful forest, to the polluted, noisy atmosphere of the city life we are both used to. Life runs perfectly smooth and burden-less in the Amazon, compared to what we have to go through every single day. Not to mention, the change of environment, such as the bright greenery and pure, fresh air are aspects that refine many peoples’ character by allowing them to develop into more positive, optimistic, high-hoping humans.
Next, I would like to explain the wondrous wildlife and their domains. Almost 30% of the world’s species are said to be living in the depths of the rainforest. This includes the majestic wildcats and jaguars, the slyest of snakes, the glamorous of birds, (some as large as half of a human) and also the mischievous monkeys. However there is an endless amount of interesting creatures, some of which are yet to be discovered and observed. But beware of the slaughterer! The poisonous dart-frog is so minute and almost thought of by some as insignificant, until it strikes! The dart-frog has poison enough to kill 100 people! This creation that I have zoomed in on ever so slightly is only one of the adrenalin-pumping animals of the approximately 800 species that lurk somewhere in the depth of the Amazon, as there are many yet to be discovered and revealed along with some of the unknown rivers in which deadly species lay hidden amongst the lagoons. Might I add that one of the most gorgeous mammals is a member of the Amazon itself, in the undiscovered rivers? The name of this attractive creation is the pink river dolphin. But Pierrè, there is so much more regarding this topic, so allow me to enlighten you further...
Saffáh Alors On-Danse Dániel ;)
...Who has the honour of living there? What a spectacular feeling it would be to meet face-to-face with the natives of the Amazon. That itself would be an experience to treasure and which many others would adore to behold. Picture learning the basic vocabulary of their mother-tongue and being able to relay that on your CV. Yes Pierrè we all know how you desperately attempt to elevate your CV and ‘first-hand-knowledge’. On the other hand, we could taste their food and decide whether we prefer their starters, main-meals or desserts. Think of all the tropical fruits they get to indulge upon, in which we have an opportunity to join them at! And Pierrè, believe it or not, we may even get try out the coconut drinks that we watch holiday-lovers treat themselves to on national television! And just to add the cherry on the cake, we could dress up as Native Amazonians and wear the grass skirts and everything!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of grass skirts, I wonder deeply how the great Amazonians spend their Friday nights? Just visualize learning their techniques of climbing trees at the speed of spider-monkeys! I marvel at the thought of them playing a bizarre round of hide-and-seek! But on the serious note, I wonder how the Amazonians keep their life full of events and activities, and I think that there is only one way of finding out...
...to go and visit the tropical Amazon Rainforest personally! And what’s more, I’m planning on dragging you along, so that you may discover and unleash the Amazonian from within you!
I hope to hear from you soon rather than later.
Yours Faithfully,
Saffáh Alors On-Danse Dániel ;)

ReplyDeleteintro- say what country I want to go
p1- talk about why I am against my 'friend's' idea of going to France
p2- whats so good about the place
p3- what can we do
p4- whats there to eat
Dear Friend,
I would like to talk to you about our forthcoming holiday that we've been waiting for. First of all, I've been thinking that it's the best to go to a country that we've never really experienced before: Thailand.
As you can see,in England, there isn't many restaurant or shops that sells Thailand's properties;which really lowered our opportunity of knowing how nice Thailand could be; therefore we should go there instead of going to France, where we already acknowledge how France would be like since we have many, and many shops and French restaurants in England.
'What's so good about Thailand?' you might ask. I'll tell you what's so good about it. Thailand, which is located in a hot area in the world,would really give us a great chance to explore many elegant,fascinating and famous places,and also we could do more activities without getting worried about the whether being windy,rainy or whatsoever!
What's better than having a chill day on the beach relaxing and getting a nice tan in the sunshine? I've heard that 70% of the tourists would more likely to go to a beach more than anything else in Thailand. If you prefer something more excited and mind blowing, then there's kite boarding and skydiving and bunjy jump available too! We could also rent a mini boat and chill out and enjoy the fabulous view of the sea and mountains, or maybe perhaps jumping off the boat to swim in the cold crystal clear water?
Further more, we could go to a 5 star restaurant'Sirocco' which is located up high on the 63rd floor of State Tower, and allows you to see the beautiful skyline of the city Bangkok.

Dear Friend,
I don’t like your choice! I’ve been going over our holiday plan, and it’s horrendous. I don’t want to go to a place that is inadequate, drivel and twaddle - as is your taste. What gave you the thought that we should go too Romania? Well, we’re not. That’s the end of that. I want to go to a place that is inspirational, diverse and cultural, not a third world- reject. While thinking, I noticed that there was only one place in-affected by disease – Hatred – and this place is called the United States of America.
“What’s so good about the USA” you may ask, well it is the most diverse, cultural and, off significance in the world. The exhilarating cuisine is just one of the many highlights. The varieties of food never end; they bring the feeling of love, lust and luxury. And this is what makes my heart, beat in USA, as a drum beats with a band. So, what is stopping you from enduring this – to be – fantasy?
More so, the crates of culture don't come to only consist of just centuries of culinary art, but also include a luxurious way of living life. We will bask in the glory of, but the many facilities that shall be available. We will be situated in a Malabo beach house – one of the my many personal investments – were we shall change state, from twisted souls to harmonious humans.
As we embark to become on our journey, we will be attending a masquerade bash, specially invited by Kobe Brian -who I will talking about later- and his team mates. We will also be traveling to Las Vegas, a place were anything is possible and can happen, as will. And we will relish the experience like a black man and his chicken. LOL
In addition, we will be apart of an elite crew that will attend a few of the many spectacular sports the US has to offer. I know that you are a major fan of basketball, and so I have called in a favour and set up a training session with Kobe Brian. We shall be attending his personal court – in his house- were we will be staying for the week. Not only that, but I have also set us up for a private match against him and his fellow team mates. This is going to be a experience to behold and cherish.
I hope to hear form you soon,
Yours faithfully,
Akash Chhapia
