In the heart of Thailand, approximately 80 km north of the capital, Bangkok, is the country's historic center, Ayutthaya. In the past it was a powerful Thai commercial and cultural center, today it is a somewhat forgotten but undoubtedly noteworthy place. The city was the capital of Thai people for 417 years. When getting to know the province with the same name, it is also worth tasting the local specialties. One of them is Roti Sai Mai, an Asian cotton candy wrapped in thin pancakes. Another culinary curiosity is a dessert made of sesame, sugar, beans and rice, which can be bought in portions - it is available in most stores.

If someone gets cold at the mere sight outside the window, let him think about the frosty Siberia and imagine skiers in swimming trunks coming down the slopes. Time for bikini skiing!. Skiing or snowboarding is associated with sport performed at low temperatures, not to mention the cold.

Christmas is the time millions of people around the world are waiting for. It is also a time when a special person takes the attention of many children. This is Santa Claus, who lives in Rovaniemi on a daily basis. There is probably no better time to describe Santa's Village than the end of December. Located on the Arctic Circle, Rovaniemi seems to us, Poles, infinitely far away. So far that some people doubt the existence of a smiling good-natured bearded man in red clothes. And wrongly, because it is enough to write a letter to get an answer in an envelope with a stamp from Lapland. Sometimes you have to wait a few months for her, but Saint is very busy. He does not lack jobs all year round, despite the help of elves, dwarfs and trolls. And of course the reindeer.

Recently intimate, today it is one of the largest centers in Switzerland. The charming Arosa is a health resort for tuberculosis patients and a tempting place with 225 km of great ski runs. If someone is planning to spend a week or two-week skiing holiday, he will probably consider large resorts, "merry-go-rounds" and resorts offering hundreds of kilometers of ski slopes. However, if he only has a short weekend at his disposal, paradoxically, he has more choices. Why? Since in such a situation it is unlikely that you will be able to check all the slopes of large resorts, so you may also consider going to a smaller, more intimate resort. He has a chance to fall in love with small but picturesque towns, not as crowded as crowded and fashionable resorts. He can also find a golden mean and go to a resort placed at the center of the list of famous mountain resorts. A good choice in this case is Arosa - a Swiss resort located in the canton of Graubünden, in the Rhaetian Alps, a few hours' drive south of Zurich.

At the point where Europe and Africa meet, we can start or end the adventure with the exotic. Tangier awaits us, the gateway to a hot continent, separated from Europe by the sea by 14 km. During our trip around Morocco, we will drink a tea with mint cooling the body in many places. However, if we would like to drink very sweet and strong coffee, we should visit Tangier. The city is at the same time the gate through which we enter the country and the center where we say goodbye to it. Sitting at a table overlooking the Strait of Gibraltar, we can admire the contours of the Spanish coast outlined in the distance. We are only 14 km away from Europe by the sea.

Thanks to Christmas markets, winter in the city does not have to be boring, and December time does not have to be filled only with waiting for Christmas Eve. You can feel the holiday atmosphere much earlier. Many people are irritated by the quick exchange of candles for Christmas trees and baubles, which takes place in supermarkets practically in front of our eyes. As soon as November takes the place of October, the shops can hear the lively notes of Christmas hits, and the closer to the second half of December, the more often we hear Christmas carols instead of famous songs. However, there is something that subtly introduces a festive mood, not in the interiors of shopping malls, but in the open air. These are Christmas fairs organized each year in many Polish cities.
