Here are four beach destinations for you to take a unique vacation in the sunshine.
Zanzibar, Tanzania
Whether you’re dining at restaurants directly on the sand or listening to live music, the islands of Zanzibar are rich with culture. The Stone Town features narrow stone streets meant for bicycles. It’s a great place to buy produce and creative goods while taking in the Arabian architecture. You can sail into the sun on wooden boats, do yoga on the white sand or go diving.
Sardinia, Italy
Sardinia is well known for its natural settings—mainly the beaches and the volcanic Monte Urtigu. With boat tours, hidden beaches and valley adventures featuring flowing waterfalls, water activities are everywhere. But the island has plenty of other experiences as well. Go wine tasting, learn to bake bread or take a historical tour of local archeologic sites.
Bodrum, Turkey
For a truly unique beach experience, visit Bodrum in Turkey. The ancient city is home to historic baths, hot springs, ancient ruins and underwater archeology museums. This area is also ideal for rafting trips, sea fishing and more. There is also a lot of wildlife living on the island and in its surrounding waters.
Tenerife, Spain

【推荐3】When I first landed at Ferihegy Airport in Budapest, I had no idea what was awaiting me. I was tired when our driver picked us up, but the view of graffiti (涂鸦) written in German, Russian, and Hungarian just blew me away. As we got closer to the city, I felt like I was in a place that was magically changed through time and none in the city had noticed.
I felt as if it was a forgotten place, but it really shouldn’t be. I found that the air of Budapest was welcoming and nearly everyone was friendly. Most younger people there spoke English, but the non-English speakers were helpful in trying to explain to me that I had given them the wrong amount of forints in paying for an item. If you’re interested in shopping, there is the Mammut which is a nice sized mall on the Buda side of the Danube. The locals explained to us that we should not shop at the mall because it is expensive.
When I checked out at a great store called Jazz, I found the opposite. I got a formal gown for $ 14!!! Looking back, I’d like to go to the places where the locals shopped. I stayed at the Mohdcsi Panzi6.It was $ 50 a night and the breakfast was wonderful. Our room overlooked a garden and was on the second story of the house, where you could see the hills in the distance.
When I was there we played “futbol” with a plastic piece of tubing we found near the waste bin. Margit Island is a huge park just inside the city. A lot of activities can be found on that island, from playing football to riding around on really strange-looking bikes. If you ever decide to take a trip to Budapest, you may never want to come back.

【推荐2】Guinness World Records Set by Kids
◆The youngest club DJ
Oratilwe AJ Hlongwane likes putting in more efforts when playing music for a crowd. In 2012, he became the youngest club DJ — he was five when he played a one-hour set to 100 people at a bar in South Africa. Known in the business as DJ Arch Jnr, he broke the record previously held by a six-year-old in Japan.
◆The most viewed video game — unboxing video
Kids love watching someone unbox a new purchase — especially if it’s something they can’t get themselves. Maybe that’s why more than 25 million people have watched video websites. What’s really cool about Evan is that he usually donates most of the toys to those in need. He also uses his popular video website channel to draw people’s attention to worthy organizations for helping the poor.
◆The youngest drummer
The rules of Guinness World Record say a drummer must record a real song and be paid for his skills and that the drummer must give at least 20 concerts of 45 minutes or longer within five years. At the age of just four Julian Pavone met all those qualifications.
◆The fastest assembly (组装) of 10,000 Lego pieces and the longest Lego chain
A group of school kids in New Jersey went for their world record to increase public awareness of a fellow student Jamesy Raffone who is suffering from a rare and deadly disease.
