Daniel Antônio recommends: English Bay.

- ENGLISH BAY -

 

       I'd lived in Canada for 1 year and it has been the best experience in my life. In the beginning it was pretty hard to adapt but I got used to their culture easily.

 

       The days that I was homesick or sad about something else I used to go to English Bay. It is one of the famous beachs in Vancouver - Canada. Going there and sitting on the green grass just to see the dead waves in the ocean makes us thoughtful and calm. The atmosphere is tranquil, people are polite and they don´t care about what are you doing. You can see all kind of people doing all kind of things, like a old ladie riding her rollerblades to a young student boy sleeping over the sand.

 

       The view is amazing. and the wonderful thing about the sunset in the summer is that It sunsets at 10:00 p.m, I couldn't beleving when my friends told me but when the summer came out I was there in front of the ocean watching that perfect and unbelievable moment.

 

       On weekends some young talented guys (singers, wizzers, comedians,etc) usually go there just to show everyone what they can do, and when they realize there is a huge public watching them performing.

 

       If you like to be conected with nature and if you like tranquil and relaxed places you must go there one day and see how wonderful this place is.

 

 

PS:. You must try the mexican hot-dogs that they sell around the beach, It is so tasty and you can make your own hot-dogs using their ingredientes;

Abram Recommends: Las Ramblas

Las Ramblas is an interesting area in Barcelona that attracts thousands of visitors every day.  A number of things make Las Ramblas a favorite of both tourists and locals.  The wide streets, for example, are lined with trees and picturesque buildings that are hundreds of years old.  In many places, the ground is decorated with colorful tiles and mosaics.  Las Ramblas is also known for its lively and festive atmosphere.  Diverse groups of performers from all over the world fill the streets.  Day and night, the area is alive with people singing and dancing and artists selling their goods.  And finally, near Las Ramblas is one of Barcelona's largest produce markets: La Boqueria.  It's the perfect place to pick up a snack.

Las Ramblas has something for everyone, but the streets can be crowded with tourists, particularly in the summer.  Parts of Las Ramblas can also be a bit seedy at night.  Although it's best to avoid this area after dark, overall Las Ramblas is a safe and entertaining area of the city.  I highly recommend it!
