Where To Go And What To See In Bulgaria

by Jessica Nielson (edited by Lynne Hand)

The weather in Bulgaria can be cold in the winter and very hot during the summer. The perfect time to plan your holiday starts in April, up until June, the weather is still comfortable and you will find many things to do. However, September offers beautiful fall colours and not as much congestion because most tourists are heading home, but the Black Sea is still warm enough to swim and enjoy the white sandy beaches.  If you enjoy skiing, then you will want to head to Bulgaria in December. The months of July and August will be hot, but you can still enjoy the beautiful Bulgarian beaches and attractions.

Write Clearly, Write Concisely, and Write Correctly

Girl learning English

Some would-be writers think they can dash off an article without learning the basics of grammar. Just as any crafts-person spends time honing his skills to make the perfect piece of craft, so must a writer work hard to write an error-free, grammatically-correct article. True, some errors are typos, but this reflects a certain laziness on the author's part. A writer should closely examine his article before sending it off.

What The Real Irish Eat On Saint Patricks Day - March's Culture Article

What The Real Irish Eat On Saint Patrick's Day

Shamrock

by Kevin Thomas (edited by Lynne Hand)

During my travels I have always been amazed by the perception that people have of what Irish food is.  I have had numerous conversations with people trying to tell me the foods that myself and my family eat. which is completely contrary to what I know we eat. One of the biggest misconceptions is about "Corned Beef and Cabbage", this is not a common dish in Ireland at all.  In fact it is generally confined to the small restaurants in tourist areas to cater for the hoards expecting everyone living on the island of Ireland to be tucking into this on a daily basis.  We do however have a dish similar to this, it is not eaten very regularly and certainly not on Saint Patrick's Day or any other day of celebration.  It is "Bacon and Cabbage", not the type of bacon that is fried but more like a boiled ham. So what will Irish people in (living in Ireland) eat on Saint Patrick's day?
