Why should tourists visit Estonia? I have always though of my country as a huge ,,multicultural city". We have so many different cultures from different places put into a little place all together that you could almost say we are a huge city not a country.

Exercise 5. Read the following text and translate the expressions in bold: Hotels in Britain are graded with stars from one-star to five-star (the best and most expensive). B&B is a type of accommodation where you pay for a bedroom and breakfast. Full board at the hotels includes breakfast, lunch and dinner; half-board only breakfast and dinner. It is advisable to book in advance if you want to get rooms in the middle of the tourist season (when the places may be fully booked). You may book either a single room or en suite (room with a private bathroom), a double room (one big bed for two) or a twin room (for two people with two single beds). When you arrive you check in at the reception. (Saar, Sild: All the World’s a Puzzle. Form 10,p.104) B&B – bed and breakfast, tuba hommikusöögiga Accommodation – majutus Full board – täispansion

To spawn startups, your university has to be in a town that has attractions other than the university. It has to be a place where investors want to live, and students want to stay after they graduate. The two like much the same things, because most startup investors are nerds themselves. So what do nerds look for in a town? Their tastes aren't completely different from other people's, because a lot of the towns they like most in the US are also big tourist destinations: San Francisco, Boston, Seattle. But their tastes can't be quite mainstream either, because they dislike other big tourist destinations, like New York, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas. There has been a lot written lately about the "creative class." The thesis seems to be that as wealth derives increasingly from ideas, cities will prosper only if they attract those who have them

THE CAPITALIST NIGER Chika Onyeani ………………………Every African must internalise this book - period….DAA INTRODUCTION In October 1960, Nigeria received its independence from Britain. By then, Ghana the former Gold Coast had been independent for three years under the great Osagyefo Kwame Nkumah. It was a time for celebrating Africa’s coming of age, as more and more African countries received their independence either from Britain or France. It was especially a poignant time for Africa, as then British Prime Minister Harold McMillan articulated his now famous “winds of change” sweeping Africa. We had high hopes for Africa, for the Black race, that the insidious imposition of foreign rule on us, the looting of Africa’s natural resources by our colonial masters accorded us would be things of history. That is more than forty years ago. Unfortunately, the promise of independence has not been fulfilled. Today, Africa has become more desolate; there is more starvation
