Israele
Pilgrims to the Holy River Jordan where Jesus Christ was baptized could find the place of their pilgrimage closed from the Israelian part.
The reason is the high pollution of the river with pesticides and industrial wastes and the possibility to meet swimming bombs and other explosive objects.The river Jordan is on the 3 place among the most visiting Christian Holy places after the temple of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem and Nativity church in Bethlehem and is visited by 100 ooo persons for christening every year.
Israele invested great sums to improve it's part of the river.

Catalonia
If you dreamed to visit corrida, you have to be in a hurry to book your trip. The Parlament of Catalonia decided to forbid it from 2012.
Because it was the great -if not the main- tourist attraction and the great industry for the region, they have to adopt something similar but without killing the animals, I think.
good info on Catalonia. tx.
ReplyDeleteDo you want to visit corrida? I would like to visit the jumps over the bulls better. I don't like to see that somebody tortures or kills animals.
ReplyDeletewhat a great post idea, a short weekly update would be so useful!
ReplyDeleteHi, Emily, I'm working to have it, and more informative. Hope to launch the project shortly.
