This is a clear expression of municipal humility in a society known for its liberal sense of sexuality. Whatever next?

The city plan, which started five years ago, is very popular, and the beaches attract people.

I am not a Qing, but I happen to think that Sydney, and perhaps Melbourne can also be inspired by the actions of Paris and put some standards on dress etiquette.
Not on our beach.
Nudity is acceptable but within the scope of public transport and CBD.
During my trip I saw a lot of unseemly costumes.
Some of the most serious excesses are caused by men, especially in the summer.
I am referring to those who hang out in the CBD, with their bare waist, often with their bare feet and half-hanging buttocks in their pants.
On buses and trains, this untidy, ugly behavior also appears in a warlike manner.

If not, then you draw a line in a shameful place?

The code of conduct for managing school bus children to act on a bus covers "offensive or racist language, fighting, spitting, putting feet in a seat, throwing things in or throwing them out of the bus,

Although there seems to be no code of conduct
Students can be fined up to $100 if you drink coffee and other harmless things on the bus to work.
The driver has the right to allow or refuse to bring pets, surfboards or bicycles.
But searching for "dress code" on the public transport website has produced nothing.
This is obviously the same situation as you are. . .
Warning: As suggested by ezilon, the community site, inappropriate dress sense can have dramatic consequences.
In Italy, for example, if you go out in shorts or mini skirts, you will soon be labeled as an American.

We tend to take travel for granted.

But travel is not that simple for everyone.
No matter where I end up, I am always surprised to see fellow travelers who have overcome the incredible difficulties to get there.

I'm talking about laptop batteries, lithium-ion batteries.
They seem to be behind a series of mysterious fires on the plane.
Lithium for general laptops-
Ion power supply has the potential of spontaneous short circuit
Circuit and combustion in high altitude areas.
The National Transportation Safety Commission, a government agency, is currently investigating.
S. Federal Aviation Administration official William Wilken said at a recent hearing that since 1991, 60 incidents of battery fire, smoking or heat have occurred on the plane.
Most of the batteries, he says, are lithium or lithium-ion. And the U. S.
The Consumer Product Safety Board said that as many as 43 laptop fires have been reported in the country since 2001.
Lithium batteries generate electricity by releasing chemical reactions of oxygen.
This reacts with a component of the battery-organic solvent-to generate heat and thus melt the membrane of the battery.
Linda Nazar, a professor of chemistry in Canada, said in the report: "When this situation melts, everything will become a mess . ".
If you doubt the authenticity of this claim, then look at a recent meeting in Japan where a Dell laptop stole the show.
Does anyone of you have such a thing?
Update: happen again!
Will this potential danger result in a ban on laptops on aircraft?
There have been warnings about not using your laptop on your lap, which is a bit against the meaning of having a laptop I originally thought.

It is also eager to become the most unique airline in the world.
Schoppman hopes to reproduce the past pampering by treating Smintair passengers like guests at the Grand Hotel.

But given such a mature subject, the airline he proposed has made a lot of comments.

I think the flight is more enjoyable because people can't smoke just because the smell is gone and not because I have an issue with smokers.
Do it if you want.
Does Smintair really have a chance to take off?
What is the air quality on the plane?
Is the situation worse since smoking is banned because the air is now simply recycled without any fresh air input?
There is an interesting taste of this statement.

When the Australians were evacuated from the war
Torn Lebanon continues, and it may be timely to consider finding itself in trouble overseas.
My own crisis-in-
"Traffic" is a sudden medical emergency and luckily never goes in the worst direction
Such as evacuation home.
But it does provide insight and appreciation of what's happening behind the scenes.
Anyone can be injured or ill on a trip other than the act of war.
What will happen next will depend on an overriding factor;
Is there travel insurance? Your well-
Existence will also be affected by where you were at that time.
I am very lucky in this regard.
I am sick in Germany and the medical service in Germany is very good.
Otherwise, I might have a different story to tell.
For the insured, the most immediate issues are included and can be extended to emergency evacuation if needed.
The prospect of people without insurance is terrible.
In addition to destroying your travel plans, any illness or injury can also cause you a serious financial blow.
The cost of overseas medical care has increased dramatically, and the cost of repatriation may exceed $100,000!
Insurance companies issue emergency travel assistance cards with reverse

"When traveling, you should carry the card with you, along with your ID card and insurance policy number," an ISOS spokesperson said . ".
"Obviously, we can't take action until we know about a case.
The sooner it happens, the better.
"But what if you're helpless, maybe in a coma?
I was told, "the general rule is that you get medical treatment to make sure you survive, and then worry about later costs.
With an emergency assistance card, the hospital will contact us.
"In the absence of an ID card, it is likely that the local police will be required to identify you and contact your next of kin, a process that takes time and may involve searching your local residence, contact the airline and embassy staff.
ISOS will have your doctor at the insurance company in Australia talk to the foreign doctor who is treating you.
Once your medical status and policies have been validated, ISOS can take any action necessary.
Its agents around the world can pay for medical care directly if needed, but as in my case, the possibility is much greater, the hospital will insist that you pay all your fees by credit card before leaving the hospital, and then claim after returning home.
Hospital costs of $500 a day are not uncommon in Europe, and may be higher in the United States.
This is a very good reason to travel with a fairly high credit card limit.
My insurance company had reimbursed my claim before I received the visa certificate.
You can't expect to be better than that.
Don't think it will never happen to you.
Two or three incidents per week are not so unusual, sometimes up to six, ISOS said.
So get the insurance and double check your policy before signing, especially about "pre-
Existing medical conditions ".

Their rescue follows "thorough risk assessment, including careful route reconnaissance by our security experts on the ground, as well as close contact with consular personnel and international agencies ".
There is a tricky question to think about here.
I am referring to the travel plan to take young Aboriginal people from remote communities and have them work in our swank 5 Star City hotel. Why?
Because, says malbrogh, Minister of Aboriginal Affairs, this is "the opportunity for Australia to show our first Australian, and this is exactly what visitors come here to see.
"According to this news report, the minister said that the recruits will play an important role in the main hotels as receptionists, concierge and waiters so that foreign tourists have the opportunity to meet them.
Now, while I have received these people who are willing to recruit, who will obviously be trained in hotel skills, at the same time I am also plagued by the Australian tourism training campaign.
My feelings section was stirred up by the obnoxious advice implied in the title "First Nations in the Parade" (SMH), but more by the "show" workers for the benefit of visitors
Every time I mention the word "show" to a spokesperson in the minister's office, she quickly interrupts with the phrase "you mean work for them.
That's what the government sees.
I was unable to contact TTA boss Bill Rankin yesterday for his opinion.
In the report, he rejected the plan to treat indigenous people as exhibits in the museum.
I am not alone with complex feelings.
In the relevant report above, you will find the former chairman of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Council (ATSIC), lovitja odonojo, and Joseph Elu, chairman of the Australian Aboriginal Business CouncilHow about you?
What do you think of this issue?
The more I throw, the more it's like a prickly pear, it's hard to catch it comfortably no matter how you hold it.
Bringing unsophisticated young people from remote areas to the front line of tourism is undoubtedly a radical act.
As Warren Mundine, Labor Party president, said: "If they want to recruit Aboriginal people, there are already a lot of them living in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
"Of course, they, already urban residents, will be better equipped to cope with the changes brought about by the reception of wealthy, sophisticated foreigners in terms of training?
The same amazing thing I think is the tourists.
Are they too lazy, too cold to get out of the luxury hotel?
Is such a cocoon really qualified as a tourist?
Any visitor who is interested has a great opportunity to connect directly with the "first Australian" provided they are ready to go beyond the hotel lobby.
For example, a local Aboriginal guide walks the Heritage at Royal Melbourne Botanical Garden (tel: 03 9252 2300, e-mail: visitor. centre@rbg. vic. gov. au).
Similar tours are held at two o'clock P. M. every Friday at the Royal Botanic Garden, Sydney (tel: 9231 8134, e-mail: rbgsyd. nsw. gov. au).
Both locations are very close to the hotel.

How rude are we?
If you believe in a global survey that claims that Sydney people are far less polite than our cousins in Auckland and far less rude than New Yorkers, it seems bad.
This is not good news for the new state's tourism industry as it is trying to attract more foreign tourists.
Melbourne was not investigated.
I want to know if it will score better or worse than zhinny.
I have had an impolite experience on both sides.
Polite in both ways.
What do you think is the rudest city in Australia?
When Reader's Digest wants to expose the world's most rude cities, it sends journalists into the main cities of 35 countries to investigate local politeness with three specific tests.
Then, Sydney's polite city ranking dropped on the 23rd, which made us equal to the fashionable Milanese.
Australia's largest cities are more polite than Bangkok, Hong Kong or the Slovak capital Ljubljana, but far less civilized than Auckland (seventh place) or London, Paris and Johannesburg (15 th ).
I happen to know that through personal experience, the streets of Sydney are more civilized than the streets of Joburg.
Putting anything down on the busy streets of Joe Burgess, especially something of value, is likely to be caught soon.
In the bustling Bangkok, I was rudely pushed down the sidewalk to face the possibility of tuk dying!
I haven't had this situation here yet.
While I admit that Aucklanders may be more polite than Sydney people, I strongly doubt whether the French clerk will show the courtesy they deserve.
I always think they work, but they are concise and more important than anything else.
If the busy shop assistant doesn't express thanks, does that mean all the locals are lovely ly?
Will it make us all frown if we don't help a clumsy person?
I don't think so.
The tests used only show the abstract's fragile grasp of modern civil reality.
For example, I was told that it was polite for a man to open the door for a lady. . . .
But that was the last century!
I recently did this stunt on a young city worker.
She dodged with a look of panic and distrust, and then chose another exit.
Nowadays, people do it for themselves. . .
Is it worth Sydney's rudeness?
Let's listen to the most rude behavior you 've ever suffered or seen on your trip.
No better than Alice.
Located in the middle or from anywhere, actually in the middle
Alice Springs is Australia's navel, east, west, north and south.
From the rest of the country, you can get as much as you can, occupying a "territory" in the sense of geography and metaphor ".
It would be a bit disappointing to find that Alice did not reach the stereotype of the border town where life became rough, original and ready.
Alice has these pure qualities, and the exquisite appearance around the Todd Mall.
The day I arrived at the Sunday market, the mall was in full swing, a miniature version of the city's suburban market, with a clear twist in central Australia.
The only Aboriginal artwork sold was sold by an elderly white man from Victoria who told me that he first came to work in the "territory" 28 years ago and has been here since then, now a "caretaker" of an Aboriginal artist who wants me to buy his simple painting.
I bought some hot Florida brains.
The born vendor chatted for a moment with the small town of Krier Milton Blanche.
Dressed in costume clothes, he strolled around the market with a Golden Bell, adding a little uncoordinated color to the local area.
More food stalls are piled up on the table with homemade jam and jam, a variety of knitwear, bush hats, hiking socks, cotton shirts and a range of amateur crafts, including beautifully decorated
I retired to Bojangles Saloon, a spacious swill bin with quirky decor that promises to attract visitors passing.
Worn-out desert boots were nailed to the ceiling.
Along a wall, there is a huge glass box, shared by a skeleton, spanning a motorcycle, and three winding giant snakes, one of which looks greedily as it seeks an escape route
The camera keeps a roaming eye on everything.
We sat at the big table, drinking beer and eating a few free peanuts hidden in a huge bucket at the door.
Bar meals are an important part of "territorial Tucker.
Witness the scene through these different salon webcams.
Another Alice idol is the orlandes steakhouse.
The back room table was occupied by a large group of teenage American students from Virginia, most of them girls, who performed the serenade by a young Australian male guitarist.
The highlight of the evening is to burn their ass on the back pocket of the jeans, or to be exact, the initials at the inland station are scorched. . .
Souvenirs to go!
It is not a flat scene around the town.
At the Todd Mall, the alley is said to be the best food in town.
From the platform of the Highlands or Bojangles, this is undoubtedly a big step.
Menu of French bistro, Spanish tapas and wood mix-
In addition to a huge wine list and the attitude of the big city, pizza was fried.
Especially on weekends, you need to book a table.
It seems to me that the bluegrass of Phil and Kay Heller is more joyful, it has a rich blackboard menu and a compact but interesting wine selection.
On any night in Alice, it would not feel complete without a little rough.
I took two photos at Sean's Irish bar, a private residence on Bath Street, and the owner just pushed the TV to the side of the lounge to make room.
Late-night customers stuffed Jamison from The Beer Cup.
A man who wants to be John Butler string the guitar strings and the hard-to-understand "lyrics.
This rather bleak situation soon became full of tension.
When I was ready to leave I saw two long
With a beard, raise your fist and prepare to fly.
There's similar confusion outside.
A police car brakes sharply.
Two policemen jumped out to fight a couple of cheering men.
Black people want to get together with someone, anyone, anytime, anywhere.
Alice is not a fairyland by night.
Despite being remote, the social calendar of Alice Springs is cluttered during the winter months.
I just missed the Doudou Festival, an annual headwear exhibition featuring thousands of handmade colored Doudou.
It is now a form of regional art.
Other unique activities of Alice Springs social rotation include Camel Cup-
Saturday-
The Alice Springs competition in August, the famous Henry at the Tode boat conference, will be held on September 16.
Alice desert festival in September and The Colwood festival in November.
Add a Legacy festival to each parade and month-
Dragon Horse Racing Cup carnival April. Go the Alice!
I visited Alice Springs as a tourist guest.
I will be in a blog next week.
Free area, no internet connection, no mobile phone, no newspaper, no TV.
It's neither the moon nor Mars, it's just inland, somewhere west of Alice Springs.
For a few days, I will be walking to the larapanta trail with some other writers and photographers from Australia and overseas.
Each of us will be assigned to produce featured articles about our hiking for a variety of different publications.
The trip was organized by the adventure travel company World travel options.
Inland for all of us will mean breaking the routine and experiencing a life without any electronic accessories that now seem to be critical to the survival of the city.
Instead, we have to respond to another device and local knowledge.
I'm really looking forward to sleeping under the stars.
My most vivid memory of inland travel is the vast night sky, which can be seen from Central Australia and anywhere else on Earth.
I am also looking forward to some physical pain, which is the result of spending too much time sitting in front of the computer, usually at the expense of outdoor sports!
I will not be able to submit daily blogs during this period, however, instead I have arranged things that I hope will draw you back to this blog site while I am away.
One day next week
I won't tell you either.
I will post a blog that includes a reader's chance to win two tickets to overseas destinations!
So keep an eye on that blog. . . .
At the same time, it would be great to hear about your best inland experience.
Once I get back to "civilization", I'll tell you what's going on as we solve the awesome space we 've never had beforenever.
Travel is the same as visiting foreign lands to explore your own backyard.
Last weekend I saw it for hours in a state north of the big city and I haven't been there before.
Thanks to the friendly locals, I saw the best place.
I'm in Clarence Town.
My friends live in a house built of wood and glass a few kilometers away from this old River settlement, with beautiful views of the surrounding forest, with several horses in the paddock, there are cats and children who run freely.
This is the life of the countryside, there are starry sky, there are silent nights, there are also the birds at the beginning of the light.
Clarence Town is adjacent to two mountains-
Top Inn Barrington-
And the coast, where I was taken.
A picnic tour between Port Stephens and a real estate gold mine called boat harbor.
Near Samurai Beach, we pulled out of RTA and stumbled along a narrow beach trail through the thick bush inside the tomarre National Park, which appeared at Rocky Point for the first time
Local people choose the location of R & R.
There is no vast beach, but there are many swimming pools and straits, and a 100-meter Island, perfect for swimming, snorkeling and scuba diving.
Although it is winter, it feels almost warm enough.
We walked up the jungle for a short distance to reach a vantage point overlooking the tomarre peninsula towards the Bay of Fingel.
From the height, we saw the jet of a humpback whale at sea, watching it move steadily in the north.
Later in the afternoon we drove to Stockton Beach, the "largest continuous moving Beach in New South Wales" with endless beaches in front, it is also the most popular game for 4-wheel drive sand pit dune SUVs and motorcycles.
You can also ride camels in the dunes.
Yes, we see more humpback whales going out to sea.
This is hardly news for many readers.
But this short break is a healthy reminder to me that when traveling involves simple pleasures that are close to home, travel is sometimes the freshest and best.
Once a refuge in the chaos of busy airports, the airline lounge was originally designed to give senior passengers a more enjoyable flight experience.
But nowadays, many lounges are often too busy and crowded for real comfort.
The lounge of the airline is considered valuable
Add bonus to elite customers.
But now, in order to enjoy their facilities, you don't need to fly first class or business class or even on a regular basis.
WiFi, free tea and coffee, food and drinks, newspapers and magazines, you can simply buy and use.
The top flight lounge also offers hot meals, showers, and sometimes even massages.
After paying the initial joining fee, the annual cost of lounge members can be as low as $350 to $390, an amount that the average commercial flyer does not consider too high.
There are those lounges, just to any non-members a one-
Cost per visit.
The end result was "lounge crush", which upset many regular passengers, especially when they found that there was no space available or that there were no snacks left and that both tea and coffee were exhausted, even worse, there is no beer in the "bar!
This is a situation similar to the frequent flyer program.
In the early days when they became members, there were great benefits.
Everyone is a registered frequent flyer now, or it looks like this, and member benefits are greatly diluted.
For example, try to make sure the reward flight you want when you want it!
Despite the airline's complaints about overcrowding, the airline still attaches great importance to the lounge.
Virgin Blue recently announced that it will offer an upgrade of $2 million for its lounge (formerly known as a blue room, but now simply called a lounge.
The upgrade highlights how much VB wants to attract business customers.
However, the lounge is one of the $30 single rooms available
Use the pass and annual membership.
Virgin Blue hopes that its revamped facilities, coupled with its speed flyer program, will help it take third place in the corporate and business travel markets.
Currently, it has three lounges in Australia and plans to open its fourth lounge in Adelaide.
This hardly represents the competition of Qantas, whose members have access to 250 Qantas, partner airlines and related lounges around the world.
You can easily imagine this crush in some of the global partner lounges!
My best airline lounge experience is probably at Cathay Pacific Tower in Hong Kong.
Facing the hours between flights, I was able to take a shower and shave, relax on a good red drink, read the newspaper or watch the game --
Screen TV and then enjoy a nourishing sitting
Dine at the business class lounge noodle bar.
This comfort does make time fly away.
Take a look at what you think of these Lounge reviews.
The airline lounge only works when the guest is really open, which is not always the case.
Earlier this year, my friends flew to Auckland via Melbourne on British Airways's premium flight, where they arrived at dawn.
After a long flight from Monaco through Paris and Singapore, they are eager to freshen up before boarding for New Zealand. No such luck.
In a shameful display, Tullamarine lounge was shut down throughout the transition, showing a complete lack of customer service.
There are many articles and speeches about backpacker's spending power and the booming youth tourism market.
How about a word for older global travelers?
People don't stop traveling because they are older.
On the contrary.
Mature travelers, especially those who retire, use the extra time in their hands and re-explore the world in a new way, at different speeds, with experienced eyes.
It won't slow them down.
Broadband is their first call port.
Australia's leading premium travel site recently asked its newsletter subscribers how to plan their trip.
Travel agencies were still used by 27% of respondents.
The remaining 73% plan and book the itinerary online.
It is true that this is a relatively small survey, but the results are interesting.
"Our users travel frequently and for a long time," said Kaye Fallick, senior director . ".
"They told us that the standard way to book flights and accommodation now is online.
A critical point has been reached.
Tourism should know that a generation of travelers are online.
"The mature traveler is attracted to the Internet because they have easy access to a wide range of options and are able to find cheaper deals, says farick.
It is also important that they have control over their travel plans.
Take this view of the elderly as a penny --
Pinch the gray nomads.
