The Travelling Psychologist Series 2 - Down in Kampala

Introduction:

Your first site of Uganda is usually Entebbe airport in the far south of the country lying close to Lake Victoria. I had prepared so many documents at the visa office in Beijing (where I travelled from) yellow fever certification, bank statements, photocopies of various forms.

I was so disappointed if she had known the sweat and tears getting all that together in China before I came, surely she would just look to make me feel better?

Top 5 Things To Do In Derry In Northern Ireland

1. The Walls

The Walls surrounding the old city of Derry were built between 1614 and 1619. Remarkably, they remain almost perfectly preserved. They were built by the London-based businessmen responsible for the Plantation of Derry to defend the city from the local Irish rebels. A number of sieges against Derry took place, the biggest of which was in 1689. However, the Walls stood firm and were never breached, an honor very few cities in Europe can claim. It is this fact that earned Derry the nickname, The Maiden City.

Tourism Committees and Why Your Town Needs One

We all know that the trade deficit of the United States is not good. When we trade with other countries, we need to make sure that they are buying something from us as well, or that we are doing triangular trade where we buy something from one country, they buy something from somewhere else, and those people in that third location turn around and buy stuff from us. That keeps the money flowing in the global economy, and it's good for jobs, good for industry, it is good for inefficiency and free-markets. It prevents scarcity, helps to feed the world, and does wonders for international relations.
