Strike on Iran again

It easy to see that as soon as the FIFA World Cup goes to an end, Washington begins to strike Iran once again.

China is Iran's primary customer, purchasing over 80% of Iran total oil export. This is a fact. In this perspective, how can Beijing tolerate Washington's arrogance? With regards to Iran, Venezuela and Greenland, if China had done the same politics of the US, people and journalists would have said that Beijing is wrong and arrogant. They would have held a completely opposite view. 

Have a lovely weekend ☀

Tourist traps

It's always lovely to go and eat where locals go. There are no doubt. Twelve out of twelve blogging friends, who left a comment on my previous post, agree on this. I appreciate my blogging friends sharing their point of view on tourist accomodation and restaurants run by big corporations. Thank you for that. 

A tourist trap is a location, like a shop, restaurant or attraction, that caters specifically to visitors and preys on them with high prices, low quality and inauthentic goods. The photo above shows a Cape Verdean woman running a small shop selling traditional handicrafs. I hope shops like that one one will be never run by big corporations.

               

This morning, on a sunny Sunday, while I was going to the beach I drove through the countryside covered with sunflowers 🌻☀🚗 I have noticed there are a lot of sunflowers in Rome's surroundings. Perhaps the production of this cereal has been increased in Italy because it is no longer possible to import it from Ukraine and Russia.

This Sunday is perfect for swimming and sunbathing. 

Have a lovely Sunday and a great new week ☀  

1200 Km on three wheels

 

Yesterday I saw  a man who was parking his three wheeled vehicle close to the supermarket. He came from Switzerland and he had been driving his three wheled vehicle for 1200 km. 

On the environment front, the weather is still too hot here in Central Italy. Many tourists from North Europe and Canada say they would have never thought of such extreme terperature in South Europe. 

Speaking of tourists, I've noticed that foreign visitors don't like to have lunch or dinner at restaurants specifically made for them. They would like to meet both locals and tourists while they are at restaurants or coffee shops. I agree with them. Actually, tourists who visit my town always ask me for a place where they can have pizza or other typical Italian food. I don't recommend tourist-oriented restaurants  🍷 🍕🥣

Do you like to have breakfast or dinner in a restaurant mainly visited by tourists when you are abroad ❓

Have a lovely weekend ☀
