| How expensive is it to travel the world? At the moment, I'm only 15, but I'd really love to travel the world. I'm not planning to go until after I've been to uni so it is a long way off. My dad used to work on a luxury cruise ship for 5 years so he travelled the world a number of times. I would love to travel to areas of the world that I've never been to, but the cost seems too high. I want to go to: China Japan Singapore Malaysia Australia New Zealand Brazil Mexico USA Canada I would plan on staying in each country for about 1 week and would like to plan my trip within events eg Chinese New Year, Christmas in Canada etc. I will go with about 4 other people but only be paying for myself. Obviously, I realise that this would be very expensive, so I don't have to go to every country all in one trip. I could do the Asia, North+South America and Oceania trips in 3 separate holidays. Questions: So, going by today's economy, how much do you think it would cost? I plan to create iPhone apps in my own time as I've already had success and make a fair bit of money. If I make £25,000 per year for 3 years at uni and save what I don't spend on rent, electric, gas etc would I have enough money? Do you have any tips? What sort of insurance would I need? Basically, anything you know about travelling the world. If you have any useful links, that'll help too. Thanks!

With a job then, you would have health coverage, travel paid, and get a salary. Usually you would need to become a specialist in your field, so that you are hired as a problem solver in your field. Or you could go the education route, Or you could get into embassy work. Best to learn a second language and study geography and history, so you have some clue about what is going on, and where things are, lol |

speech help!!!!!pele?
i have to do a speech on pele so here it is Pele was a very famous football/soccer player who was born on the 23rd of October 1940. Pele grew up in a very poor family in Tres Coracos, Brazil. Pele is just a nickname for Edson Arantes Do Nascimento which is why he was given this nickname since he has such a long name. Growing up his parents and friends called him ‘Dico’. He first learned the game football from his dad ‘Dondinho’ who was a centre forward until his career came to an end with a fractured leg. Pele began playing when he was a young boy for a local minor team, when he wasn’t playing he was shining shoes for pennies. He was first discovered at age 11 by one of the countries premier players, Waldemar de Brito. Waldemar took Pele to Sao Paulo and said, ‘This boy will be the greatest player in the world’. He was right! Pele had an immediate impact, in his first game he scored a goal right away at age 16! Pele went on to four world cups with his national team Brazil. Pele was an average sized man but blessed with speed, balance, excellent vision, being able to control a ball superbly, being able to shoot powerfully and accurately with either foot and head. Some wealthy European clubs offered large amounts of money to sign the young Brazilian but the government of Brazil declared him an official national treasure to prevent him being transferred out of the country. Pele said ‘My father was a footballer who once scored 5 goals in a single game all with his head, a record I was never able to beat’. Pele’s statistics are astounding scoring 1,280 goals in 1,360 games second to Arthur Friedenreich who scored 1,329 goals. Pele holds the record for hat tricks scoring 92 in his career. His statistics are even more mind blowing compared to today’s players who struggle to score 30 goals in a season. Pele played for Santos for most of his career retired and then came out of retirement to play for the New york cosmos. Pele in many ways was a complete athlete, with superb skill and agility he could dribble around defenders with ease. Many people regard pele as the best ever player to live. When pele came out of retirement to play for the New york cosmos he became the highest ever paid player but he said he did not do it for the money but to make football truly popular in the United states. Pele, whose nickname does not mean anything, became a Brazilian national hero and was also known as Perola Negra (Black Pearl). His best season was 1958, when he scored 139 times. When pele was young he played with a sock stuffed with newspaper or a coconut as a ball. It took him twelve years to save up enough money to by a real ball. When Pele was at school he was expelled in grade 4 for skipping school to play football in a nearby park. Since he was so poor the only other type of entertainment was to play street football in his neighbour hood with a coconut and bare feet. FINISHED FOR NOW having some trouble adding some more information to this as it only goes for 2:10 min but i need it to be around 3 min im 13 years old so yes i know it aint top quality stuff but what do you expect? any help and corrections i can add plus 50 seconds more.

Homework Help - 3 Answers Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions : 1 : "Pele is just a nickname for Edson Arantes Do Nascimento which is why he was given this nickname since he has such a long name. Growing up his parents and friends called him ‘Dico’." This football star's given name is Edson Arantes Do Nascimento. Having such a long name provided him many nicknames, including Dico and Pele "Pele began playing when he was a young boy for a local minor team, when he wasn’t playing he was shining shoes for pennies" As a young boy, he was employed as a shoe-shine boy, earning only pennies for his services. In his spare time, he would play football, and he was discovered . . . . "He was right!" This would soon prove to be true (new paragraph) "Pele had an immediate impact, in his first game he scored a goal right away at age 16! " During his very first professional game at the age of sixteen, Pele scored a goal right away. "Some wealthy European clubs offered large amounts of money to sign the young Brazilian but the government of Brazil declared him an official national treasure to prevent him being transferred out of the country." Brazil declared Pele to be a national treasure, preventing his transfer to wealthy european football clubs. "Pele’s statistics are astounding scoring 1,280 goals in 1,360 games second to Arthur Friedenreich who scored 1,329 goals." Pele's statistics are astounding; second only to the great Arthur Friedenreich, with a final tally of 1280 goals in 1360 games; even more so when compared to the football players of today who struggle to earn 30 goals in a season. you need to work on the organization of your essay. it is very erratic and difficult to edit. -shane garst of america 2 : It seems almost finish. You could organize it just a little more. You can organize it chronologically. Anything to do when he was young should be in the beginning not in the beginning and then again in the end. Then just stop redoing it and just practice your presentation. Maybe have a nice picture of Pele to show and a picture of him in game action. If you can wear the type of uniform they wear in the game and carry the ball with you, that would really be creative! Good Luck! 3 : I assume you are going to read all this out so I wont correct your grammar becasue you'll do that yourself tommorrow. The only crticisim I would make is the order in which you provide certain types of information. That is; - put the bit about Pele meaning nothing up the top where you are discussing his nicknames. - put the bit about how he practised as a kid somewhere up near the top so that as you read the story unfolds rather then doubles back for information about the early years. - be a bit careful about using words that are lifted about of books. There is nothing wrong with saying his stats were "astounding" if that is your real words but they sound like you took them out of a book. Also the phrase "Pele in many ways". Just rephrase in your own words if you nicked the idea. Good Luck! |

Why are Americans so boring?
Why are Americans so boring?
Its like say if Greece or Brazil or Italia were to win the World Cup, the whole country will shutdown for a week and celebrate with friends family nite life popping til sunrise whether Monday or Saturday...With American sports they "state" wins and they considered "world" champs the clap with a lil fireworks and go home and the next day its business as usual stuck in traffic...ZzZzZz...I find American life to be more about money making rather than passion and pride and nationalism! ...Also same thing goes with their weddings. They do not know how to feast drink and party til sunrise. Wedding ends like at 10pm...What a surprise coming here...see ya!

why are you so fascinated if americans are boring. you sure know an awful lot about american life. youre really an american yourself aren't you lol. oh and weddings at 10 because for the bride and groom thats when the real party begins
3 :
Because Americans are not that interested in Soccer. If our team wins the Super Bowl, or NBA finals though, it's another story. It's not "nationalism" like in other countries because we compete against ourselves, we have more state and city pride.

LOL Very very true. I know why because I am a middle eastern living in America and I can see what the differences are in terms of culture. First of all, America has WAY too many laws. EVERY fcuking thing is illegal in this country. You can get arrested for singing outside if people don't want you to do it (don't believe me? I have links, just ask). Everything is illegal here. There is no way people could party in the streets or shout all loud or do anything FUN because everything is illegal. Bars close early, you can't smoke anywhere, you can't be loud outside, you can't gather more than 20 people outside without the police coming. Second of all, Americans can often have a lazy mentality where they just live vicariously through their TVs. Rather than actually participating in something, most Americans just watch it on TV. Third of all, Americans want instant gratification. If something exciting happens, they want to miss the event and then watch only the HIGHLIGHTS of the event on TV or somewhere like that. They are only interested in HIGHLIGHTS of things and not the actual event. Fourth of all, Americans tend to have smaller families than we do overseas. American families are small and conservative and their weddings aren't such a big deal like they are overseas. Smaller families = smaller weddings. Americans are different. But it is their culture. Everyone's culture is different!

I don't think that makes Americans boring; it just makes Americans more responsible. There's a time and place to play.
