While I am unsure what my "child dreams," are or how something "becomes to a personal experience," I must say that the Web site I am visiting right now DOES make Yemen sound downright AWESOME!
And so, when a kindly person asks me to write of Tourism in Middle East Asia, I have to write of Yemen. I don't feel like I have a choice. We're talkin Yemen, people. Yemen is no joke. And so I bring you copy and paste with comment! YAY!
"Since ancient times Yemen has enchanted travelers, merchants, philosophers and kings with its secrets and its wealth.
This country in the south-west corner of the Arabian Peninsula fascinates every visitor* with the variety and the contrasts of the vegetation, landscape, the architecture and the people:
Gigantic** mountains with villages like fortresses on the top of the peaks
Picturesque urban settlements with houses of clay, bricks and stone
Deserts and fertile valleys, magnificent terraces and dreamlike*** beaches
Colorful markets with the sounds, fragrances, and faces from 1001 Nights****"
* I have not seen any official study that validates this as true. Throwing out sweeping generalizations without a source is a big no no, people of Yemen. I bet there was at least one person who left Yemen thinking to himself, "I have in no way been fascinated by a single thing I have seen here!"
** Gigantic? It means realy freakin big. Also, Gigantic is a documentary profiling the band They Might Be Giants. It was directed by A.J. Schnack and released in 2002. The DVD was released in 2003.
*** Here is this reference to my dreams again. Is Freddy Krueger inside my dreams, plotting to kill me and running this Web site? Pretty likely, I would say.
**** 1001 Nights. Arabian Nights. For most of us, known as Persian: هزار و یک شب Hezār-o Yek Šab, Arabic: كتاب ألف ليلة وليلة Kitāb 'Alf Layla wa-Layla, Turkish: Bin Bir Gece Masalları, Urdu:ایک اور ہزار راتین ولی کتب Hazar Aur Eik Ratein Wahli Kitab, Hebrew: אלף לילה ולילה), Bulgarian: Приказки от хиляда и една нощ (also know as "Sheheresada's stories" Приказки на Шехерезада
Or, for you people that aren't quite on my level, the thingamajig that brought us Aladdin. So, yes, Yemen is somehow responsible for "A Whole New World." But don't hold that against Yemen. Visit Yemen. Fulfill your child-dreams.

Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o lucro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. (If he will be possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll I thankful, bye friend).

Great posts! I wish I could stick with the 5 minute rule.
How about 5 min. on why certain bloggers blog what they do.
See if you can figure me out...
