You’re finally on vacation! You have been planning this trip to Spain for over a year. You’re excited! The last thing on your mind is being a victim of a crime, right?

WRONG!

Unfortunately, we are living in a world where we MUST anticipate the unfortunate.

When you are in a foreign country, such as Spain, you must ALWAYS be aware of your surroundings. Understandably, constantly being on guard is not such a fun way to spend a holiday, but in the long run, being safe is ALWAYS better than being sorry. Think about it this way: Who wants to remember their vacation for “losing” a favorite ring or a substantial amount of money?

Vacations SHOULD be FUN – and memorable for things other than being a victim of a crime.

Fortunately, there are ways to have fun and to be safe!

It’s important to remember that not everybody gets mugged while on vacation, but bad things sometimes do happen, so the following are some suggestions on how to handle yourself while visiting Spain:

A centrally-located hotel can be both a blessing and a curse. The good news, of course, is the fact that you are in the center of a major city, such as Madrid or Barcelona. All the famous sites and attractions are at arm’s reach! The bad news: Most of the shady characters mingle in tourist centers, and are ready to reach inside your pockets! These thieves usually work in groups. For example, one might distract you by “accidentally” stepping on your foot, and while he is “apologizing” his partner is swiftly going through your pockets. Another popular method to distract you is to a have a “dog” bite the back of your leg. As you turn around to see what is going on, the “doggy owner’s” buddy robs you. Also, beware of anyone who offers you a flower or a colorful handkerchief. Again, this con artist is attempting to trick you into not paying attention to your surroundings, and is prepared to swipe some of your money. Never lose track of where you are, and who is around you. Enjoy the sights! But also keep an eye out for trouble. Some of the more targeted cities (and areas) include the aforementioned Madrid (near the Prado Museum, Atocha Train Station, the Royal Palace, Puerta Del Sol and in Plaza Mayor), Barcelona (Las Ramblas, the Gothic Quarter, Parc Güell, near the Picasso Museum, and Plaza Real), Cordoba, and Granada.

Another thing to remember is to ALWAYS leave your valuables locked in the hotel’s safe. Do not carry too much cash, and limit yourself to only one credit card. Also, make several copies of important documents, such as your passport, and keep these copies stored at different locations: one in your suitcase, another in the safe, and yet another one at home. In the unfortunate event that you are mugged, your valuables, and most importantly your passport will be safe and sound. If you are carrying cash, make sure you keep it in a security pouch or a money belt underneath your clothes. Never keep money in a back pocket or in an easily-accessible purse. Do not leave your purse sitting on a table while you eat, or hanging from the back of your chair. Your purse should always be on your body. Otherwise, you become a prime target of a purse snatcher – be it on foot or on a motorcycle. And please avoid wearing too much jewelry! These thieves will not care if they tear your earrings off with your ear attached!

Whenever possible avoid public transportation and take a cab instead. Metros and buses are major fairgrounds for pickpockets. Where there is a crowd, there is a good chance that confusion may arise, and this makes for a perfect opportunity for a pickpocket to go to work.

Beware of anyone who behaves oddly around you. Sure you may appear paranoid, but wouldn’t you rather be paranoid than victimized? Pickpockets and muggers seek out the vulnerable. If you look like you are aware of your surroundings, nobody will attempt to mess with you!

These suggestions are not meant to scare anyone. You ARE supposed to have a good time while visiting Spain, but a little preparation and caution will go a long way, and you are bound to truly have a memorable vacation!

Most popularly known for its Art Deco Historic District and its lovely beaches, Miami Beach is more than just a place to work on your tan and soak in some stunning architecture. In the popular South Beach area, shopping takes center stage with everything from common clothing chains and unique boutiques, where you can pick up some clothes no else can copy, to art galleries and jewelry stores for those who cannot fit anymore outfits into their overstuffed closets. While there are four main shopping areas where you can pick up a few goodies, the one to definitely peruse is the Collins Avenue/Washington Avenue for its extensive offering of designer duds and one-of-a-kind boutiques.

The Fall/Winter Paris Prêt-a-Porter Fashion Week is the most prominent trade event for the fashion industry, when Fall fashions are rolled-out as a season preview for the world’s biggest retail buyers who’re scrambling to place their orders for fashion, handbags, jewelry, shoes, hats and cosmetics. Unlike other large industry convention hall tradeshows, Fashion Week is orchestrated citywide at some of Paris’ most prominent points of interest.

This year from February 25th to March 4th, top designers and fashion design students staged fashion extravaganzas ranging from the pinnacle of good taste to the surreal. Among the selected sites, were the Louvre, Jardin des Tuileries, Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Musée de l’Homme, le Champs-Elysee, le Tour Montparnasse, place du Trocadéro, Théâtre du Châtelet, and La Sorbonne.

Winter Paris Fashion Week 2007 took place February 26 through March 4, and featured everyone who’s anyone in the designer world, including long-time Parisian favorites Chanel, Dior, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Christian Lacroix and Givenchy.

Ah, the drama! Aside from the expected eccentric styles and surreal shows, more than a few eyebrows raised when an animal rights protestor stormed the catwalk nude in response to this year’s apparent return to use of fur as a luxury material.

London designer Stella McCartney (daughter of Beatle Paul McCartney), then made headlines for her “fur-free” show, showcasing warm alternatives to fur, with models clad in taffetas, satins, knitwear and cashmere.

Emanuel Ungaro’s Peter Dundas got everyone ready to hit the discos with his collection designed to celebrate night clubbing. Decked-out in plenty of bling and leather, the models strutted and slinked down the runway.

The most controversial show of the week had to be that of Viktor & Rolf. Dutch design partners Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren, are renowned for elaborate, wildly-imaginative shows. This year, they invented awkward contraptions that the models had to balance delicately, which were fitted with lighting and music as a kind of “personal fashion show.” The designs were somewhat gothic, reminding one of the movie Van Helsing. The poor models were also required to were stylized wooden clogs, which clip-clopped loudly as they paraded carefully down the runway.

Expectedly, there were WWII and ancient war themes in many of the fashion collections this year, incorporating tall boots, leather, fur, fatigue green, body armor, medallions and epaulettes. Even Jean Paul Gaultier revealed models wearing Scottish tartans with stylized Mohawks, as if going into battle.

Also during Fashion Week, the exclusive Paris boutique Colette, celebrated its 10th anniversary by inviting 10 art curators to spotlight a talent gallery-style on one of it’s walls. It was a fabulous way to show off it’s ultra-trendy collection of music CDs, shoes, handbags, branded water and accessories. The boutique is also renown for glamorous parties, art exhibits and dance classes, and definitely worth a visit when you’re in Paris.

Speaking of accessories, Nokia decided to unveil its Nokia 7373 Special Edition fashion phones by designer Giambattista Valli at Fashion Week, at the “Dress-your-Nokia-in-Giambattista Valli” Party. For the label-conscious, this is a must-have phone. Each one comes pre-loaded with a “behind the scenes” video for a glimpse into the life and inspiration of the designer, along with a selection of Valli graphics and the exclusive ring-tone, “Rhodium.”

Next year is sure to hold more fun and surprises. For sure, Paris in March is the place to be!

Ramblas, Barcelona’s famed Pedestrian Boulevard that cuts through the heart of the old quarter is a popular place to take a leisurely stroll. It is alive with activity day and night and is an experience to delight the senses. It is said that through Las Ramblas the city is reduced to one slightly out-of-whack focal point and all that makes up Barcelona is squashed into a thin line that runs from the city center to the sea. Fragrant flowers flourish, music fills the air, living “sculptures” catch the eye, appetizers lure one to stop awhile and indulge, and oil paintings are displayed for one’s admiration. There’s no place like the Ramblas – it is the place to wander- experience – breathe in the culture.

The word rambla is derived from the Arabic term, ramla, which means a riverbed, and these streets actually used to be a riverbed that channeled the water coming down from Collserola hill. In the 13th century, convents and churches were built on both sides of the Ramblas and the streets were named after these religious buildings. During the period of the 18th century the medieval walls that divided the Gothic Quarter from Raval district were pulled down, and in 1830 the convents and monasteries were closed. Las Ramblas in Barcelona is a 1.2 Km walkway through the very heart of the city centre. Here one will view all sorts of stalls, restaurants, bars and street performers along with the many thousands of people that stroll up and down the Ramblas until the early hours of the morning.

It is a tree-lined pedestrian avenue packed with buskers, living statues, mimes and roving salespeople selling everything from lottery tickets to jewelry. The noisy bird market on the second block of La Rambla is worth visiting. Also the nearby Palau de la Virreina, a grand 18th-century rococo mansion, with arts and entertainment information and a ticket office. Next to it is La Rambla’s most colorful market, the Mercat de la Boqueria. In the southern direction is the Boqueria the Mosaic de Miró having only one tile signed by the artist. The next section of La Rambla possesses the Gran Teatre del Liceu, the famous 19th-century opera house. La Rambla terminates at the lofty Monument to Columbus and the harbor. One can ascend the monument by lift. Just west of the monument, on Avinguda de les Drassanes, stand the Royal Shipyards, which has the fascinating Museu Marítim.

The colorful market in the centre of Las Ramblas offers everything a gourmet wishes – fresh fish, fruits, meat, and bread is piled up to the rooftop of the beautiful covered market. It is also a good place to try traditional Barcelona food as many stalls in the middle of the market sell original dishes to try and take away.

Tennis is very popular today. It was considered a sport of the sovereign society tennis , but not anymore. Tennis is in

almost every high school in the United States. In the past years, the only way to learn tennis was to pay for expensive private

tennis lessons. This is no longer the case today as private tennis lessons are not the only way to learn the sport. Children of

all ages and backgrounds are taking up tennis as a hobby and are actively competing and developing tons of skills that help

build character even when the child has stepped off the tennis court.
If one is going to take part in tennis activity, then one is going to need the proper tools in order to participate in the

sport. Whether one is skiing, fishing or playing tennis, then he will need to have the proper tools in order to play the game or

participate in the activity. Wilson is a name you can trust. This would seem like common sense.
The primary and utmost prerequisite accessory to play the game of tennis, is the tennis racket. The second is the tennis ball.

Okay, you may thing, you can’t really shrink the most important item down to just one item as a tennis racket without a tennis

ball is pretty useless unless you are using it to beat someone over the head with it. At least with the tennis ball you can play

catch the ball without the racket, but if you want to play tennis, the racket and the ball are the most important things you need.
One of the negative aspects of the sport is Tennis elbow. This is not exactly the nicest feeling in the world. It has a

sharp pain to it and it can be relatively debilitating. And, contrary to what the name implies, tennis elbow is not a condition that

is exclusive to those who play tennis. Athletes of any sport can suffer from such a malady.
And since we are talking about tennis, a diamond tennis bracelet is quite a number of things, but it is certainly not

ever going to be dubbed an economical piece of jewelry. These types of diamond bracelets are among the most expensive and

highly prized bracelets in the world.
These are the subjects we will discuss, among other hot new ones of the sport in our infoshop. So keep coming for

fresh stuff.
