     Don"t go to Kauai. Go to any of the other Hawaiian Islands --- Maui, Lanai, the Big Island --- but
leave Kauai for us. The weather on Kauai is so unpredictable (不可预测的) that sometimes it rains
all day --- in fact, it"s the second-wettest spot on the earth. Yes, there are giant double rainbows all
the time, and the sunlight through the clouds is magical. But if you are not interested in these, go
somewhere else. You just can"t control the nature on Kauai, and who wants to surrender (屈服) to
the nature when you could be at a fine hotel, lying in a comfortable chair next to a swimming pool,
with food served upon request?
       So what if Kauai produces surf champions the way Texas produces cowboys?Most of its 300
white-sand beaches are unmarked. Unless you connect with the local people, the hidden spots are
hard to find. While Hanalei is the most beautiful town you"ve ever dreamed of, you can forget about
discos and clubs. Worse, it doesn"t have one single four-star restaurant. What it does have is the
original drive-through places where you pass by a rambutan tree (红毛丹树), and pick a piece of fruit.
       Shopping in Kauai? Forget it --- unless you are interested in shell necklaces and beautifully carved
wood bowls. Kauai is not about pampering. It"s about going natural and finding the nature within you.
It"s a do-it-yourself place that offers walking along the coast, diving and swimming in the Pacific Ocean,
and lying on the beach.
    Don"t go to Kauai unless you have a lot of time, because there"s only one road, which can be slightly
dull. It winds through the beautiful scenery of waterfalls, rivers flowing into the ocean, and taro (芋头)
fields. You have no choice but to look at everything, because the speed limit is 35 m.p.h.
       If you"re not interested in color, don"t bother with Kauai, because that"s what you get --- red roads,
blue oceans, and a hundred different shades of green. It"s like diving on land. Many people on Kauai
believe that this is Lemuria --- a lost island in the Atlantic. Can you imagine? Those Hawaiians, surfers,
New Agars, and people who love nature and beauty and want a different quality of life --- what do they
know, anyway? Forget about it --- you"re not going to like it. Go somewhere else. Leave Kauai for us.

the human soul for thousands of years and there are those who still treasure its magnificence. If you

these happy few. Excellence in poetry is mysterious, but a quest(探索) worth pursuing. In our
courses, you will learn to control sound, structure, line, word, theme etc. into well-crafted poems
and you will improve your precision by experimenting with various time-honored forms. You will also
learn how and where to market your work.

Garden Route, South Africa
     Take in fresh sea air in this beautiful coastal setting as you cruise the famous Garden Route
in the Western Cape in South Africa. A wildlife break is a must, as is enjoying great meal stops
along the route. There are wildlife reserves throughout the Graden Route National Park you can
swing into and spend a sleepy morning in a car looking for giraffes and lions. And just over your
shoulder in the big blue there are whales to be watched (if the season is right).
     Top tip: Add a trip to the Eastern Cape to your Garden Route trip. It is much less known than
the Western Cape and full of great landscapes. The gas station is occasionally seen.
Great Ocean Road, Australia
     Sweep along this dramatic coastal road in Austrlia with views of the Southern Ocean from
Geelong to Portland, in Victoria, and you won"t regret it. Anyone who has driven it just can"t stop
talking about it, and with good reason. There"re loads to see and plenty of great stops. There"s
whale-watching here too, and other natural life. And to top it all, there"ll be plenty of good old
Aussie kindness and welcome when you pull in for lunch or a coffee stop.
     Top tip: Rent an open-top car so you can really drink in that sea air.
Stelvio Pass, Italy
     If you like snake-like paths and mountain passes, you"ll love this. Stelvio in Italy. The mountain
slopes stretch away on either side of the road, with snow-topped peaks within sight. There"s a great
view down the pass. And from the top, it"s just a short sweep away from the Swiss border, so if you
are gripped by mountain road driving, you can drive from here down to Swiss ski resort of Davos.
Stelvio has 48 hairpins(急弯) on the north side and 12 on the descent(陡坡) to Bormio, so this route
is not recommended for new drivers, or those with a fear of heights. This descent is often featured in
the Giro d"Italia, the Italian version of the Tour de France, so you may have glimpsed it on the television.
     Top Tip: Take some Swiss Francs as well as some Euros, so you can make the trip a cross-border
experience.

A. Stelvio Pass, Italy and Garden Route, South Africa.

A. it"s more winding and challenging
B. it"s safe and more suitable for new drivers
