Liverpool is an old port city established in the 11th century. Later its interconnected dock system was the most advanced in the world giving access to sea 24 hours per day by isolating it from the river tides. Also, North America exploited Liverpool harbor in the movement of immigrants and slaves. Liverpool was the home port for ill-starred RMS Titanic and other grand liners which were used by immigrants. The Merseyside Maritime Museum and The International Slavery Museum are the places where the visitor can study these topics. The Beatles and football were the two things which made Liverpool famous and tourist spots. The Beatles Story museum lies on the famous Albert Dock that houses restaurants, shops, hotels as well as the Tate Liverpool. Today The Maritime Mercantile City is on the UNESCO's List of World Heritage in danger.

Because of Putin's Russian attack against Ukraine, Avecphoto.com has disrupted licensing photos about Russia. The killing of Ukrainian children, women, and older people can only be compared with Hitler's cruelty. In the end, Hitler was stopped only by arms. Like Hitler, Putin is also mentally sick that doesn't care about the human life of his people or elsewhere. We ask every person to help the Ukrainian army and refugees with donations. Furthermore, we invite you to press your parliament member to fight to make a no-fly zone in Ukraine! President Volodymyr Zelenskyy: "The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride." "Slava Ukraini !"

More than any other African country Kenya has formed the opinions of the Westerners about Africa. Long time this land of unique natural beauty was only a source of slaves, gold, and ivory. Some parts of the area were unresearchable because of the lack of roads. It was also a hostile environment; there was a saying, "If you are going to Maasai land, take ten thousand men or make your will." When the British started to establish farms and build railroads and roads, the international tourists began to arrive in the wake. This land of savannah, mountain highlands, and high plains provided a fantastic range of habitats for the East African wildlife and an equally wide choice of options for great white hunters. 'Safari' was a name for a hunting trip – the word means journey in Swahili. The opinion about this land and Africa, in general, was formed by several fiction movies and novels, which presented Kenya as an unspoiled land where a white man could fulfill his passion for adventure and possession of women. Recently the film Out of Africa has vastly increased the interest and tourism in Kenya. It remains to be seen if there is any spectacular wildlife left after twenty years from now. The only hope is that Kenya protects the nature because it is the backbone of the tourism industry in Kenya. © Copyright 2016 Seppo Olkinuora. All rights reserved.

Turkey is a curious mix of the west and the east, making it exciting and also photographic. One could consider Turkey an Islamic country, but even in that, many people in the western part are pretty liberal about the religion. At the same time, the folk of the east is far more conservative.

What is Hungary? Hungary tastes in one's mouth like: Gulyásleves (Goulash soup), Pörkölt (meat stew in a thick paprika-spiced sauce), Töltött káposzta (stuffed cabbage), Kürtőskalács (stove cake) or Tokaji Aszú (aperitif-desert wine). Hungary in one's eyes like: puszta with horses, herders, and fata morgana, flowing the Danube, silky green-yellow Lake Balaton, old towns breathing history, and impressive banks of Budapest. Hungary sounds in one's ears like: számítógép (computer), megszentségteleníthetetlenségeskedéseitekért (longest word in Hungarian, obscure also to Hungarians) The strange Fenno-Ugrian language sounds odd and is hard to learn. However, excellent Hungarian poetry exists, and unusual nature enchants not only Hungarians but tourists alike. Egészségedre! = Cheers! Try to pronounce it: Ag-esh-sheg-ad-reh

Switzerland is a landlocked mountainous country that has fascinated outdoor persons and other tourists for centuries.

Positioned at the center of Europe, Poland has had turbulent and violent times. From Napoleon to Hitler, and Stalin armies have marched through it. A new phase began when Poland joined NATO, became an EU member in 2004, and cut ties with Soviet Bloc. Poland was never inside a very faithful member of the Soviet Bloc. Today we can see that Polish don't like to be ordered mainly by the EU either. The Polish are proud and, they are the most religious people of all Europeans. The Roman Catholic church remains an influential force in Polish life. Tourism has improved hugely. Culture life is vivid, the countryside throughout Poland is lovely and relatively unspoiled, and many picturesque old towns wander. Enjoy photos from Warsaw, one of the most exciting cities in Europe.

Thailand has the distinction of being one of the leading tourism destinations in the world, renowned for its vibrant cultural heritage and natural beauty.

“This is indeed India; the land of dreams and romance, of fabulous wealth and fabulous poverty, of splendor and rags, of palaces and hovels, of famine and pestilence, of genii and giants and Aladdin lamps, of tigers and elephants, the cobra and the jungle, the country of a thousand nations and a hundred tongues, of a thousand religions and two million gods, cradle of the human race, birthplace of human speech, mother of history, grandmother of legend, great-grandmother of tradition, whose yesterdays bear date with the mouldering antiquities of the rest of the nations—the one sole country under the sun that is endowed with an imperishable interest for alien prince and alien peasant, for lettered and ignorant, wise and fool, rich and poor, bond and free, the one land that all men desire to see, and having seen once, by even a glimpse, would not give that glimpse for the shows of all the rest of the globe combined.” —Mark Twain, Following the Equator, 1897
