Kids Europe Italy Discovery Journal (Plastic Comb)
May 26, 2009 by Destination Guide
Filed under Travel Italy Guides
Product Description
The Kids Europe Italy Discovery Journal updated for 2006 is a guidebook to Italy for kids only. If you are traveling to Italy with children, they will love seeing the country from the perspective of what the unusual, weird or exciting. Educational insights into art and history are offered and there is a strong focus on appreciating the culture and Italy of today. There is so much to enjoy: food, drama, and a unique approach to life that makes Italy special. The author uncovers the goofy, mysterious and strange aspects of history and art — things that penetrate the attention of kids. Most guide books focus on churches and museums which can be monumentally boring to children. This little guide and journal can make the sites fun and can open up new pleasures to the whole family. The Italy Discovery Journal is not a standalone guidebook, but a personal guide and journal for kids 6-16 traveling in Italy.

Visiting Switzerland
May 3, 2009 by Destination Guide
Filed under Where To Go & What To See
Switzerland, or officially called Swiss Confederation, is uniquely positioned in Europe. It lies at the crossroads of several different routes which explains why the country’s three main languages are German, Italian, and Romansch. French is also widely spoken in the western portions of the country and English is prevalent throughout. There is no official language in Switzerland, even though it is a very modern country. It is ranked in the top of all living standards. Religious freedom is a guarantee in the Swedish world. Boasting a very high per capita income level might explain one of the highest computer and internet usage rates in the world.
Switzerland dwellers are almost 100 percent insured unlike other countries in the world. Currently the population is about 7.3 million people, but only grows a mere one percent per year. Religiously, the Swiss categorize themselves as Roman Catholic by 42 percent, Muslim at 4.3 percent, Protestant at 33 percent, and others by 5.4 percent. Lastly no religion comes in at at 11 percent so everyone who visits can be comfortable expressing their own religious belief.
The Helvetic Celts were the first to settle in Switzerland and later came under rule by the Roman Empire. Throughout that period major cities like Geneva, Basel, and Zurich flourished as major commerce hubs. After the fall of the Roman Empire, Switzerland was ruled by many different groups, and then later came back under control of the pope under the Roman Catholic Church. On August 1, 1291 three families agreed to a joint rule pact which they pledged joint defense and peace, and is celebrated as Nations Day. Over the next several hundred years Switzerland pursued land through military actions. Then Switzerland was defeated by the French and Venetians. They rebuked expansion policies and the foundation of Swiss Neutrality was born and remains today.
Citizens of Switzerland go by the name “Swiss” and have a very weak federal government. Even with the weak government, the states called Cantons have effective lawmakers and govern themselves quite efficiently. The Swiss thrive in life and many other areas. Switzerland has a very rich history of religious battles and government rule. Those who visit Switzerland may find some intriguing facts with a little research.
Although Switzerland is rich in culture and history; it is the cities, people, and scenery that attract most visitors. Snow skiing, mountain climbing, and touring the cities are some favorite passtimes of many visitors. From the soaring peaks to the beautiful cities, Switzerland is a truly magical place and should be on the agenda of any traveler. Give Switzerland a visit; you never know what adventure awaits you.
