My name is Anthony Coleman and I am a travel writer for the magazine The Four Corners of the Earth. My job requires me to share 'authentic' travel experiences with my readers. When I first started writing, I took part in activities which gave me the opportunity to 'study' the locals and understand their culture. My goal was to immerse myself in international cultural experiences. Therefore, I rushed from the Sapporo Snow 5 Festival in Hokkaido, Japan to the Running of the Bulls festival in Pamplona, Spain. I enjoyed riding South American llamas up rocky hillsides, staying in luxurious bungalows above Bora Bora's turquoise lagoons and taking part in expensive Japanese tea ceremonies served by women wearing beautiful kimonos. 2 These experiences felt 'authentic' until my editor called to complain. 'You write well but you're not capturing the real mood of the places you visit,' he said. 'Don't search for traditional stereotypes. Start 10 writing about places and people as they really are, rather than what you think they should be like,' he added. My editor is rarely wrong, so I took his advice. It took me some time to get used to looking elsewhere for cultural experiences, but it was worth it. These days, I avoid tourist traps where tourists pay good money to get a taste of traditional customs that are recreated for their benefit. It's common to find tourists eating Westernised versions of a country's local delicacies at some luxurious resort. Where is the authenticity? 15 3 I realised that the more you look for authenticity, the less likely you are to find it. The more you pay to see it, the further away you get from it. An authentic travel experience hides in simple, everyday moments. It takes you through busy Istiklal Street as you become one with the lively crowd of Istanbul. It runs with the local Omani children as they enjoy the monsoon pouring down on Salalah. It bursts out of the Souq Al-Mubarakiya in Kuwait as a group of noisy teenagers wander the stalls eating their lamb kebabs. Meanwhile an elderly 20 man sips his traditional yoghurt drink, laban, on a porch across the road. Soon you are sitting with him and tasting laban yourself for the first time before taking a selfie to post on Instagram. You know you are having an authentic moment because it feels meaningful. 4 You can only appreciate these authentic moments when you leave your comfort zone. Instead of staying at a luxurious resort, choose a student dormitory or a home stay where the facilities may leave a lot 25 to be desired, but where you can experience life on the inside and learn the language. Avoid tourist bubbles such as air-conditioned sightseeing coaches, and squeeze onto the brightly coloured 'Chicken Buses' of Central America that take you from village to village. 5 Many of us have a checklist when we travel. Naturally, we want to see and do as much as possible when in a foreign country. Nevertheless, 30 sometimes it's worth being spontaneous and throwing away the checklist to do something out of the ordinary. Authentic experiences and real conversations don't cost a penny and they help us understand other cultures as well as our own. This is why, tomorrow, I am seeing a local Qatari family. Hopefully, they will teach me how to make machboos, 35 a delicious Qatari dish! I'm looking forward to gaining some insight into this culture, which is rich in traditions. What better souvenir to bring home with mel.
Last week, I went to my favourite yearly event, the Canberra National Multicultural Festival! You see, it brings together all the different cultures of people who live in Australia. It's a really lively, colourful and fun event! There are always lots of interesting things to do and see. For one, the streets are lined with stalls where you can buy interesting items from different cultures. I bought a traditional Aboriginal wind instrument called a didgeridoo. I'm hoping to learn how to play it! Another key highlight is the food scene. You can try different traditional dishes from around the world. I loved the Qatari chicken madrouba! It's a savoury dish made from rice, chicken and vegetables. The festival also features cultural performances and parades with marching bands, beautiful traditional costumes and floats. It's amazing to watch! I was most impressed by the Chinese dragon dance! I had such a wonderful time! Would you like me to send you some pictures? Hope to hear from you soon.
Going with the Flow owadays rising sea levels pose a serious threat to low-lying coastal areas. While many countries are Nbuilding stronger coastal defences, one city has decided to give up the fight and go with the flow. Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, may lie about two metres below sea level and consist of over one hundred kilometres of canals, but authorities decided to use the city's geography to its advantage. They began constructing an eco-friendly suburb, called IJburg, consisting of artificial islands and floating houses designed to react to changes in sea levels and weather conditions. This ambitious project began in 1997 and continues till today. The first residents moved into the area in November 2002 and since then over 22,000 people have made IJburg their home. This may sound like a lot, but when the project is completed, IJburg will be in a position to provide accommodation for 45,000 residents as well as employment opportunities for more than 12,000 people. Projects like IJburg may seem daring, but a country like the Netherlands, where two-thirds of the population lives below sea level, must think creatively to find sustainable solutions.
ustralia's three-day National Multicultural Festival opened today in the capital city of Canberra. The festival was first held in 1966, and it now takes place annually in February (this year, from the 21st to the 23rd), in various venues around Garema Place. It is supported by a long list of sponsors and partners, such as the US Embassy, the University of Canberra, the North Canberra Bears and the Hellenic Club to name but a few, without whose support the event would not be possible. The festival has one purpose: to provide a space where the different cultures of the country can come together for a celebration of diversity. by Beverly Hughes 2 This year's festival is set to be bigger than ever, with organisers expecting over 200,000 people to attend. Already, visitor numbers on the first day alone have passed previous records. This year, the festival features a record-breaking 350 stalls, offering information, cultural displays, and food and drink from approximately 80 different cultures around the world. Another highlight of the festival is the annual parade of countries which is taking place today. With over 2,000 performers in traditional costumes from a range of cultural groups, this event is sure to be a spectacular show of colour and sound. 3 The festival is a family-friendly event that combines both entertainment and education. With today and tomorrow offering a wide-ranging programme of cultural events, there is something for everyone. Anyone who wants to learn about the history, people, cuisine and customs of Canberra's multicultural community and have a wonderful time while doing so should not miss this event.
