At the same time the architects managed to keep the main thing – the spirit of a bygone era.

From the perspective of Europeans, it looks disgusting: the pavements are dozens and even hundreds of open shelves, trolleys, which are piled up with tons of food from the fat-like tapeworms noodles to fried cockroaches and scorpions. It seems that there reigns of terrible sanitary conditions, and insects are bred themselves. However, it is not so: in Thai streets are almost no more dangerous than in European cafes.

Thais have a cult of purity and they are paying much attention to personal hygiene. Traders are pretty neat, and severity of food often plays the role of antiseptic. Everything is cooked from fresh ingredients: the climate dictates the conditions – vegetables, fruits, meat and fish spoil quickly, and thus do not stay until the next day. So be sure: the street food is no worse than a restaurant one, and even fresher than it. Another advantage of such a meal: a lavish dinner is mere only a couple of dollars.

The main argument for such a “fast food” is that the Thais, regardless of age, marital status are eating on the street. Among this quick movement of the plates you can meet residents not only in modest means of clothes, but neat clerks, and even certain gentlemen dressed up fine wearing fabulously expensive watch on his hand. So let’s say that tourist are not going to be some kind of exception.

True, there is one problem – to understand what lies before you on the counter. The traders understand English only in the capital, and thus it is unlikely to have that much of free time to learn thousands of names of dishes. Therefore, the easiest way: just show the seller a finger at all that you want to try. And this is another advantage of the street in comparison with the restaurant, where, at best, you will be brought a menu with pictures. And so that at least some understand what is being sold on Thai streets. And now we are going to share our Thai cuisine knowledge with you.

Rice

What kind of Asian food without rice! If you really have plans to dive into the tasting Thai dishes, please be sure to get a bowl with simple boiled rice, which will help you to bind other dishes if they turn out to be unexpectedly sharp. On the streets you will find quite a few dishes, reminiscent of risotto. Especially popular is the rice with chicken and pork. And be sure to buy rice baked in banana leaves and filled with its fragrance. In appearance it is a bit like Asian dolma dish – having somewhat dark-green envelopes. Leaves themselves are not for eating!

Soup

What is that odd cloudy liquid pouring from the huge boilers? Those are real Thai soups: chicken, shrimp, mushrooms – all in coconut milk, with fish sauce and lemongrass. Why not to try this unique simultaneously sharp and sour soup which simply attracts with the pleasant splendor? But make sure to be able to get them through your throat: these soups are very sharp.

Noodles

In Thailand, there are countless types of noodles: large and small, egg and rice, dry and in the broth, which remind us the usual soup noodles- at least according to their appearance. The sellers usually collect the noodles and then add ingredients of your choice: slices of shrimp, pork, bamboo shoots. And then everything is being cooked with the help of a special boiling process.

Salads

Let’s say that the Thai traders are specialized in giving up a list of various salads. One of the trays must be devoted to salads. The ambience here is exotic: particularly tasty salad of papaya with fibers pomelo, shrimps and peanuts, and a salad of young bamboo.

Seafood

In addition to rice with shrimps and other marine reptiles, one can often see the whole fish carcass, which is covered with large crystals of salt and roasted on charcoal. One of the strangest food – squid, which is being passed through special rollers. Caution! These dishes are very salty.

Barbecue

Proponents of hygiene can celebrate it: the magnificent heat treatment to all kinds of barbecue on wooden skewers and kebabs is guaranteed. Usually on skewers they string up chicken, beef and mutton. However, at times to find out more detail of what is being cooked among the list of meat food, can not be done without the knowledge of Thai dialect. So it is the case when you can rely only your own eyes and surely intuition.

Fruit

Thailand is full of fruit. Counters are bursting with ripe mango, pineapple, watermelon, rambutan, mangosteens, papayas and passion fruit. You just need to poke a finger at the one you like and right before your eyes the fruit will be cleaned and then be sent into the blender or juicer. Of course, those who are terrified of contagion can buy fruit peeled and washed with boiled water, but even many tourists, relying on their own experience, do not do so.

Insects

Most Europeans are ready to eat insects, just dying of starvation or for big win in the reality show. But, in fact, this food is no different from the usual chicken or beef to us, but it has more protein and less fat. If you plan to start up with some kind of exotics you should start with the larvae of silkworms. They are soft and thus in the mouth they feel similar to oysters, and the taste is just like lentils. Did you decide to go for water cockroaches or beetles, predaceous diving beetles? And I do not fear: they pre-overdone-fried, and therefore completely tasteless and crackle in the language, like an egg shell.

Sweets

That’s really where to relax and not to fear the severity of chili, so this is a tray of sweets. Usually, Thai desserts are very nice and have delicate taste. You will meet biscuits, and candied fruit, and tiny, delicate pink, light green, lemon cakes from the bean mass with coconut milk and cooked in the same coconut milk and bananas.

If you are still afraid of germs, you will have to come to the aid of thermal treatment: buy only what is cooked over a fire in your eyes.

And the rest of Thai street food is safe. Try it out!

Holidays in Greece is firstly and foremost connected with the most beautiful island in Europe, which at least once was once a place for making out the toughest wars between those who stayed on the islands and those tribes who stayed on the mainland. Of course, islands of Greece are ideal for touring. Those pearls are the very first steps to discover the Southern part of Europe. Some of them we know very well: Crete, Corfu, Rhodes … whitewashed walls of bungalow in a quiet bay in two steps from the blue waters of the Aegean Sea, moussaka and icy white wine at dinner, gardens and swimming pools – so easy (and what else is needed for happiness?). Look here you can even find the most famous hotels in Greece. By the way, if you are interested in the best beach hotels in Greece, then know that most of them concentrated in Crete at the Bay of Mirabello in Elounda – all luxury resorts in Europe once started with the fact that there were fishing villages.

For the best way of spending your leisure here you should move straightly to a car rental and choose something practical. And then you should drive to explore the islands, because each of them is full of legends. The sea, the heat, a wonderful Greece holidays – the entire atmosphere of complete relaxation leads to idea that it’s the best time to forget about the usual skepticism. And – amazing deal! – Soon after talking with the local residents you will definitely imbue with the conviction that brought Zeus to Crete. You only need to keep up with the cheering spirit and not to get bothered by the stuff you left at home. Just keep in mind that none of the hassles can resist the feeling of being happy. It’s the best way to celebrate your July vacation.

Large yacht tours in Greece will certainly cover the island of Santorini, Patmos, Rhodes, Symi. All of this is being done with a splendid mosaic: you get a chance to get acquainted with the sacred caves and thousands of years monasteries with frescoes (as on Patmos), embankments with outlandish benches of living sponges (as Simi, the island of sponge), clubs and lounges (as in Mykonos), white maze of medieval houses Santorini(some of them are the most unusual of those that can be offered by the Greek hotels), multi-colored roofs, terraces, a little magic (this is the book of John Faulz novels “Magus”, which you should take to your trip, the effect of it can be checked out directly in Greece). There’s no doubt that Greece is the ideal offer for all those who are planning to have a wonderful “water sport” adventures and also to simply enjoy the attractive sun of the modern beaches and just to hang out in one of the night clubs together with the local youth.

Most of the islands are rather busy during the day- they can not stop hosting the large amount of cruise ships, but in the evening the tourists disappear landing to the beautiful shores to meet up the time when the sunset falls coolly to the place. At this hour, it’s much better to spend the time on the terrace of a restaurant overlooking the sea or on board – look at the sleepy island, sipping local wine and to listen up to the local conversations. Some believe that this kind of atmosphere and leisure spending makes Greece a “heeling” place especially for those who are working in rather rough conditions. They say that even a vacation which will last only 2 weeks will eliminate the internal fuss and thus getting back to the job becomes a simple duty.

The same can be said about the tours to the mainland of Greece. Carefree travel to this welcoming Mediterranean country is ideal but the pleasure becomes a thousand times more for those who will get there to discover the most interesting parts of the Greek history. The fascinating fragments of antiquity can be found everywhere here. Enter this modern country you might face up a list of places illustrated in all the history books. This includes Arts Temple of Epidaurus in the Peloponnese, “the center of the ancient world,” Delphi, where Delphic oracle prophesied around a thousand years carved into the rock monasteries of Meteora, nameless ruins of ancient amphitheatres and stadiums, many of which are still kept by the population of the modern Greece. Unfortunately the tours can reach only a small part of them thus for those who are seeking more adventures can try out to discover more places by themselves. The cities, starting with Athens, still remain the museums of antiquity in the open air, but it certainlydoes not mean that during your journey you need to forget about luxury and modernity. Are you looking for something noble, in the style of belle? I will tell you right from the beginning that some of the Greek hotels are picturesque places. This means that while in the spot you can simply feel yourself a God or Goddess as the places are not worse that most of the temples devoted to this or that God or Goddess.

Bali -island of thousand temples- is one of the smallest islands of the Malay Archipelago. It lies between the Pacific and Indian oceans, between the peninsula of Malaysia and the island of New Guinea. The islands of Java and Bali are separated by a narrow strait from eastern neighbor – the Strait of Lombok (Wallace’s line) width of 30 km.

Mountain Lake (the largest Batur and Bro are of volcanic origin) is fed by rivers flowing from the central and southern parts of the island, and countless irrigate rice fields. On the island of Bali there are 2 main volcanoes – Agung (3142 m) and Batur (1717 m). They ensure the fertility of the island (disgorged their ash has high content of minerals). Active volcanoes in Bali are considered to be a constant threat, although the last eruption was more than 30 years ago. The capital of Bali is Denpasar. The time is not being shifted here, so you better be careful when counting out the time to call back home.

Diversity of the landscapes of this little island is amazing. It even feels like there’s something mysterious in it. The lush tropical vegetation, rice fields, terraces, palm groves – in the south and next to it there are mountain lakes and rivers, and nearby, on the Bukit Badung peninsula, – the eternal drought. The north of the island can be characterized by black lava beaches. As to the west there are impenetrable forests, to the east – a stern and barren landscape.

Water recreation lovers just need to visit the southern part of Bali and visit Kuta, Legyan, Seminyak, Dzhinbaran, Sanur, Nusa Dua. Among the lovers of art the most popular place is Ubud. The most famous temples are Pura Taman Ayun, Pura Tanah Lot, Pura Lahuri Batukayev, Pura Tirtha Empul, Pura Besakih and Goa lavas. For the lovers of rock music it is worth to visit Hard Rock Hotel Bali – the first sea-rock resort in the world. Holidays in Bali will be remembered to you for a long time.

In Bali there are 2 periods – during the rainy season and drought period. This is caused by monsoon winds. From November to March, north-west monsoon brings rain, and humidity rises sometimes up to 95%. Location near the equator provides a single temperature of 30C all year round, and in the mountains is colder than – 10C and below. In Bali there is no way that the rain poured down all day or several days in a row.

Since the invasion Javanese Bali established caste system. At the top of the hierarchy – Brahmins (priests), then Sutro (highest known) and vesya (warriors). These three castes is 3% of Balinese Hindus, organized under the title trivangsa, the rest are called Sudras or Jaba (commoners). On the island of Bali lives a small population of Chinese. In some villages Bali Aga (original inhabitants of the island) live separately, trying to maintain their foundations.

Official language of the island is Indonesian. Native language of the inhabitants – Bali, and is divided into two dialects – upper-bali and down-bali.

Bali can be called out to be the safeguard of Hinduism. The local Hindu community is the largest community which situates outside India. But the local religion is far from its roots and an Indian who came to Bali, will find the savage, rather than co-religionists. Religion indudharma finally formed in the tenth century, when the Princess of Java married the King of Bali, under the influence of animism (belief in the spirituality of nature) and the traditional worship of ancestors. The adherents of this religion consider themselves to be 94% of the Balinese people.

To explore the culinary culture of the island of Bali have to go to varong- tables of the bar, where the cabinet is set with specific dishes and curtains made of bamboo, limiting the space. Meals are served on plates with appliances (sticks are being used only by local Chinese). The dishes vary from the simplest one up to the extravagant and delicious, but prices are relatively low for both of the versions. The thing is that the food is mostly made of the local ingredients here, which are considered to have relatively low prices.

Rumah poppy – varong with actual walls is the indispensable component of the Balinese and Indonesian culture. Traditional dishes of Balinese cuisine are rather difficult to prepare, so you can enjoy them only on specific holidays, but the dishes are typical of the other islands are served in almost every restaurant: chicken soup (soto ayam), steamed vegetables with peanut sauce (gado-gado).Some popular dishes here are related to the Chinese cuisine, but those are less acute: various vegetable mixes, fried noodles.

In contrast to the Muslim areas of Indonesia in Bali they eat pork, and suckling pig – a festive meal, like a duck, cooked in banana leaves. The last dish is something worth of trying for sure. And the best is that June-July period is when all of this is being served quite often.

It’s kind of hard to imagine but the alcohol drinks are something rare here. The locals usually serve the food with some water or hot tea. What’s the reason for that? Who knows? Most likely the locals enjoy the very sober way of life or maybe that’s because of the Muslim population surrounding the place. On the island of Bali there are only few little vineyards which make wine exclusively for tourists. Worth a try rice wine or rice and palm vodka, though those can not be found in all of the places and are typical only for the “tourist” type of bars.

For dessert, you can always select something fresh and local. There’s a wide range of tropical fruits: Salak, rambutan, durian and much more, which have heavenly wonderful smell and taste fantastic.
