EVERYTHING YOU...

Really never wanted to know about traveling. Or that travel guides never tell you.

Restaurant

Passers-by watch the plates of people dining.

Every restaurant owner in the world knows this.

Hence, if you are not sitting at the window or on the terrace, it might happen that your tapa or fish is just a tad smaller than that of other guests.

The Mediterranean

Is the biggest toilet in the world. Just think of what you yourself flush away on a daily basis, from sprays to shaving foam to coca cola, and then multiply that with a population of 300 million living around the Mediterranean.

Enjoy your swim. In the Atlantic! Or start promoting bio-degradable products only!

Morocco Rêveries

Morocco is not the "country that makes the soul grow".

It is a country with a big marketing budget and marketing companies targeting the high end of the market.

It is a country, a real one, in the midst of exploding Globalisation, and that is exciting and beautiful enough. Nobody ever came back home with a larger soul.

Andalusia rêveries

Only starting from the 1950's people and towns had enough money to paint houses white.

No, "the white villages" of Andalusia do not bring you back to very old days.

Also names such as Costa del Sol or Costa Blanca were conconted by the government of Tourism in the 1960's.



Negotiating

In many reliable shops in the Souks an honest price can be half the one that is started with.

Bid lower than half, and then gently go higher again, so that nobody looses face.

However, there are many highly honest sales people, no matter just how harsh the competition around them can be, as well as more and more sellers that just use a fixed rate.

Don't let travel guides make you crazy.

CousCous

The nicest couscous comes with a bit of a sauce of raisins. It makes all the difference between nice... and delicious.

Self-Service

In restaurants of industrial All-Inclusive Hotels revenue management rules.

Cheap products that stuff you most quickly lay in the beginning of the queue.

Cockroaches

It is assumed that every single person on earth is never further than 10 meters / 33 ft away from either a cockroach either a rat. And that goes from Tokyo to the cleanest urbanisation.

A clean hotel is a hotel that can give you the impression that this is not the case.

Internet and Traveling

Up to 2005 Transport was responsible for the largest chunk of usage of energy and resources.

Nowadays it has been overtaken by Internet usage.

So instead of one big responsible we know have two of them - so using the Internet to find information for your travel...

Backpackers

Why are even the lowest budget backpacking travelers so welcome?

You'd think they are hardly a contribution to the survival of the tourist industry?

But the backpacker of today is often a student and better off than many others of the same age... and there for the doctor and golf player of tomorrow.

So yes, backpacker, your budget of 10€ per day does not matter - as long as you hint that you'll be a businessman tomorrow.
