Yes, it's very old, actually. It was renovated in the 11th century, but it is older
than that. At that time, Spain was occupied by the Moor s, Muslims from North
Africa. So that's where the Arabic name comes from.

Matt is visiting his sister Nina, who has been working on a project in Prague
for several months.
Matt
These buildings are so beautiful, it feels like they all came out of a fairy tale.
And the cathedrals with their long spires are simply mesmerizing. By the way,
I saw some pictures of Prague Castle. Can you take me there?
Nina
Slow down, Matt. You’ve just come here; we have plenty of time to visit
everything. First, I want to show you something really amazing. Behold, the
most beautiful clock in the world, the Prague Astronomical Clock, the pride of
the city!

Oh, wow! It looks incredible. But it seems complicated. How do you tell time?

Well, these represent four things that were despised during the period the
clock was built. They are Vanity, Greed, Death, and Infidels. These figures
move at the strike of every hour. And below, we have The Astronomer, The
Chronicler, The Philosopher and an Angel.

Then I should definitely take you to the Great Gardens. They are the finest
gardens in Japan. We should go and visit at least one of them.
David
That would be great! What are they like? Could you describe them for me?
Daisuke
Of course! Let’s start with Kenroku Garden. It has the oldest water fountain in
Japan. There's also a two-legged stone lantern, which has become a well-
known symbol of Kenroku. And another interesting feature is the Flying
Geese Bridge, which is made of eleven red stones laid out in a way that will
remind you of flying geese.

How interesting! So there's a pond there? I love ponds! Does it have carp? I
believe it’s called koi, right?

things to see; there's a tea house - the oldest building in the garden, the statue
of the 12th emperor of Japan, and also a pagoda.

I'd really love to see all that! I know that there are many principles to follow
when designing a Japanese garden.
Daisuke
Yes, speaking of that, the name Kenroku refers to the six characteristics that
an ideal garden should have.
David
So in a sense, it is a perfect garden. And what about the other two?
Daisuke
The other two are Koraku Garden, or “garden of pleasure after”, and Kairaku
Garden. The latter basically led to the development of public parks. Initially ,
it was a private garden, but it was then opened to the public. That's why
Kairaku actually means “to be enjoyed with others”.
David
And what about Koraku? It has a strange name.

The name is related to the idea that a leader should prioritize the needs of
other people before their own. Anyway, all three are important cultural sites.

Everyone knows that buying plane tickets at the last minute can be very
expensive. But did you know that buying them as soon as they become
available usually isn't the cheapest option?
Travel website CheapAir.com looked at 917 million airfares sold in the US.
They wanted to answer the question, "When is the best time to buy my airline
ticket?"
The study found that in 2017, on average, the best time to buy a domestic
flight within the US was 70 days in advance. That's longer than in 2016, when
they found that 54 days in advance was the best time to buy.
The study recommended checking domestic flight prices b etween four months
and three weeks before the date of travel. During this time, the average ticket
was within five percent of the lowest possible price.
Most flights can be booked as early as 11 months before the date of travel.
However, the study found that domestic US flights booked between six and 11
months in advance were on average $50 more expensive than the lowest
possible price. Flights booked less than a week in advance were $208 more
expensive on average.
Interestingly, the average ticket changed price 62 times between becoming

available and the actual date of travel. That's about once every five to six
days. Each time, the price went up or down by an average of about $36.
For international travel, the best time to buy was less clear as i t changed a lot
depending on the destination. But "the most important rule is ... obvious,"
says Jeff Klee, CEO of CheapAir. "Don’t wait until the last minute, as that
rarely works out."

The right seat on a flight can make the difference between a good and bad
journey. But what do you do if you can't get the seat you want?
First, check again online before you fly, or try calling the airline. Some seats
may have become available since you bought your ticket.
If that doesn’t work, try changing seats at the gate right before you board.
You could even ask for an upgrade, although these are usually only given to
frequent flyers.
Your last chance to change seats is on the plane. "Most flight attendants don’t
mind if passengers change seats," says Michael, a flight attendant on a US
airline.
285
However, even if there are empty seats, don't just take one – sit in your own
seat until the doors close and wait to see if another passenger sits in it.
If the seat you want is far away, politely ask a flight attendant if you can have
it – they may save it for you if someone else asks for it. But don't expect to
get a seat by the emergency exit: most airlines charge extr a for these seats,
and flight attendants don't think it's fair to let people move there for free.
If the seat you want is beside you, don't change until you're sure nobody else
is coming, or ask the passenger if they mind changing when they arrive.
Passengers in middle seats are more likely to trade if you offer them a window
or aisle seat.

Last year, 258 million people lived abroad. In 2017, the countries with the
most people living overseas were India, Mexico, and Russia. And the most
popular destination countries for people moving abroad were the US, Saudi
Arabia, and Germany.
People move abroad for many reasons. Some peopl e leave their home
countries for love, or for better jobs and living conditions. Others run away
from violence or war.
Businesspeople might hope to make contacts in other countries or improve

their communication skills. Students may move abroad to study a t a university
or language school. And some people just like to have new experiences.
In March 2018, research from Rice University in Houston, Texas, showed that
people who lived abroad had a stronger sense of who they were – a clearer
“sense of self.”
The study showed that living abroad helped people think about their values
and decide what was important to them, instead of believing what their family
and friends taught them to believe.
290
The study also showed that this effect was stronger among people wh o lived in
one foreign country for a long time. The effect was weaker among people who
visited many countries for a short time.
So if you want to “find yourself” through travel, put down your tourist guide

It's not clear when the first peanuts were served on a flight, but Southwest
Airlines made them famous.
Southwest began flying in 1971 as the world's first low -cost airline. It offered
"peanut fares" – flights so cheap they "cost peanuts." So to help make their
point and save money, Southwest didn't serve meals: it only served peanuts.
Until 1978, US airline ticket prices were controlled by the government. But
once that changed, airlines wanted to reduce costs so they could lower prices.
294
Some chose to serve simpler food, and peanuts – which are cheap and last a
long time – were a popular choice.
After the September 11 terrorist attacks in 2001, many airlines lost money and
meals became even smaller. Some airlines even started making people pay for
their peanuts.
Around the same time, deadly peanut allergies were becoming more common
in the US. People with severe peanut allergies can die from just breathing in
the dust from peanuts, so airlines created special policies for people with
peanut allergies. Some airlines let them board early to clean their seats, or
created areas where nobody was allowed to eat pe anuts. Other airlines stopped
serving peanuts altogether.
Southwest still served more than 106 million packages of peanuts in 2017. But
in 2018, a nine-year-old boy had a severe reaction to them on a Southwest
flight. The boy survived, but Southwest decided to stop serving peanuts on
August 1.
A few US airlines, such as Delta, continue to serve peanuts. Others, like

United and American Airlines, have stopped. However, since other passengers
may still bring peanuts on board, and some meals may include nuts , no airline
can say for sure that its flights will be completely peanut -free.

An Expedia survey found that 90 percent of people say going barefoot on a
flight is bad etiquette. If you do want to take your shoes off, consider putting
on a clean pair of socks just before you fly.
2. Talking to someone who wants to be left alone

Expedia also found that nine out of 10 Americans want to be left alone when
they fly. Sixty-nine percent said they’d rather sleep than talk to the person
beside them.
3. Taking the middle armrests

298
Passengers in window seats can rest against the wall , and passengers in aisle
seats can stretch out their legs. So passengers in the middle seat should always
get two armrests.
4. Reclining your seat too far

Etiquette expert Lizzie Post says you should avoid reclining your seat all the
way back. If you do recline your seat, first check if the person behind you has
a child or a laptop, and let them know you’ll be reclining.
If the person in front of you reclines their seat too far, Post says it’s OK to ask
them to pull it up, but ask in a friendly way. Howev er, she says it’s better to
stay quiet than to start an argument on the plane.
Other etiquette mistakes include taking smelly food on the plane, not covering
your mouth when you cough, and being rude to airline staff.

On October 11, Singapore Airlines broke the record for the world’s longest
commercial flight. The flight from Singapore to Newark, New Jersey, travels
16,700 kilometers in about 19 hours.
There are no economy seats on the flight – just premium economy and
business class seats. Most travel writers recommend flying business or first
class for long-haul flights, but how do you survive if you can’t afford to
upgrade?
A common fear for long-haul travelers is blood clots. Many people bel ieve
that sitting for a long time may slow blood circulation and increase your
chances of getting a blood clot.
For this reason, you should wear loose clothing, drink lots of water, and try to
walk around and stretch often.
What else can travelers do to make long flights more comfortable? Here are
seven more tips from travel writers:
1. Book your seat early.

2. Bring a travel pillow, an eye mask, and earplugs.
3. Don’t keep luggage at your feet.
4. Wear comfortable socks.
5. Bring a laptop, tablet, or phone for entertainment.

6. Bring a small case with headphones, a charger, your passport and a pen,
and always keep it with you.
7. Bring extra snacks.
Different travel experts have different opinions, of course. Travel writer

Rio De Janeiro: An Unmissable Bucket List Destination
For anyone with the 'travel bug', Rio de Janerio, Brazil, is an unmissable
bucket list destination.
But no trip to Rio is complete without visiting these famous locations:
1. Copacabana
With one of the longest coastlines in the world, Brazil has no shortage of
beautiful beaches, but none are more iconic than Rio's Copacabana. With 4
kilometers of golden sand flanked by luxury apartments and hotels,
Copacabana is the perfect place to work on your tan whil e taking in the sights
and sounds of Brazil's second largest city.
Unsurprisingly, soccer is played regularly on Copacabana beach, but it's not

unusual to see locals also playing "footvolley" - a version of volleyball in
which players aren't allowed to use their hands.
An estimated 2 million people visit Copacabana every year to watch Rio's

famed New Year's Eve fireworks display, making it one of the largest in the
world.
2. Christ the Redeemer
Towering over central Rio atop Corcovado mountain, Chris t the Redeemer
attracts almost 800,000 visitors every year. Completed in 1931, the statue's
construction was funded primarily by Brazil's Catholic community and is
estimated to have cost the equivalent of $3.2 million in today's currency.
A small chapel was built below the statue in 2006 to celebrate its 75th
anniversary, meaning it's now possible to get married looking out over Rio's
many peaks and beaches.
3. Sugarloaf Mountain
This 396 meter quartz and granite monolith was declared a UNESCO World
Heritage Site in 2012 and is extremely popular with rock climbers.
Since opening in 1912, Sugarloaf cable car has carried over 35 million
passengers. Boasting a jewelry store as well as multiple bars and restaurants,
306
Sugarloaf's summit offers stunning panoramic views of the city. It is also one
of the best places in the country to sample Brazil's national cocktail, the
Caipirinha.
