How do you get around?

To get around within a city or region, you need to depend on local transport. However, in every continent, every country, and even in every city, the local public transport system can be different.

When travelling to the big cities in for instance Europe, be prepared to learn the specific details of the local subway or bus system again for each city. These are the general guidelines for this: find a public transport map; find out the payment type and discount cards; and get going.

In some continents and countries, however, you need to learn the general way of local transport.

Depression and Anxiety

Depression and anxiety can strike children as well as adults, and in both cases it can be a difficult and challenging obstacle. Children who are depressed will often pull away from friends, have trouble sleeping, or they may change their eating habits, among other possible symptoms. If you suspect your child may be suffering from depression or anxiety, it would be wise to contact your child's doctor for an evaluation.

In addition, research has shown that physical activity can help with depression and anxiety symptoms – so schedule a little physical activity every day.

Obesity and Youth

For obese children, life can be tough and troubled. Youth with serious weight problems often face social problems and may have trouble fitting in. In addition, they have higher rates of depression and behavior problems. If your child is overweight, be aware of his or her self-esteem, and offer assistance in helping your child overcome the weight issues as well as the other issues that may come with it.

Kids, Trouble and Free Time

Kids can find their way to trouble in any number of ways. But when children have plenty of unsupervised free time, they can easily find ways to stumble into problems. Your child should know that you keep track of him, and that certain behaviors are off limits, no matter what.

Туризм как отдых

Winter Tourism

Even winter sports were largely invented by the British leisured classes initially at the Swiss village of Zermatt (Valais) and St Moritz in 1864.

Until the first tourists appeared, the Swiss thought of the long snowy winter as being a time when the best thing to do was to stay indoors and make cuckoo clocks or other small mechanical items.

The first packaged winter sports holidays or vacations followed in 1903, to Adelboden, also in Switzerland.

Organized sport was well established in Britain before it reached other countries. The vocabulary of sport bears witness to this: rugby, football, and boxing all originated in Britain, and even tennis, originally a French sport, was formalized and codified by the British, who hosted the first national championship in the nineteenth century, at Wimbledon. Winter sports were a natural answer for a leisured class looking for amusement during the coldest season.

Mass Travel

Mass travel could not really begin to develop until two things occurred.

a) Improvements in technology allowed the transport of large numbers of people in a short space of time to places of leisure interest.

b) Greater numbers of people began to enjoy the benefits of leisure time. A major development was the invention of the railways, which brought many of Britain's seaside towns within easy distance of Britain's urban centres.

The father of modern mass tourism was Thomas Cook who, on 5 July 1841, organized the first package tour in history, by chartering a train to take a group of temperance campaigners from Leicester to a rally in Loughborough, some twenty miles away. Cook immediately saw the potential for business development in the sector, and became the world's first tour operator.

He was soon followed by others, with the result that the tourist industry developed rapidly in early Victorian Britain. Initially it was supported by the growing middle classes, who had time off from their work, and who could afford the luxury of travel and possibly even staying for periods of time in boarding houses.
