Oh, to visit Greece someday...

Tucked away amid arid hills 370 miles north of Athens lies the ancient city of Amphipolis. Overlooking the River Strymon, it was once the scene of pivotal battles in the Peloponnesian War. It was the stomping ground of titans from Persian kings to, perhaps, conqueror Alexander the Great himself. Even today, the mysteries of the terrain astonish those who stumble upon them. Which is what happened again Tuesday when Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras stopped by the northern Greek location to visit a newly discovered, mammoth ancient tomb that, he assured, would yield an “exceptionally important find.” wapo.st/...

How about Morocco?

The food of morocco focuses around the Berber diet of lamb, vegetables and dairy, along with a delicate mix of spices – the most common being cumin, turmeric, paprika and cayenne – and herbs, including mint, coriander and parsley.

The culture of Thailand is ancient.

Thai culture and traditions incorporate a great deal of influence from India, China, Cambodia, and the rest of Southeast Asia. Thailand's national religion, Theravada Buddhism, is central to modern Thai identity. Thai Buddhism has evolved over time to include many regional beliefs originating from Hinduism, animism, as well as ancestor worship. The official calendar in Thailand is based on the Eastern version of the Buddhist Era (BE). en.wikipedia.org/...
