Sports Tourism in Yugoslavia

Yugoslavia is situated on the Balkan peninsula which is in an area with wonderful climate and natural conditions. The climate is not so warm as in the coast- 150 Activity Briefs lines some hundred kilometres south but it is much more pleasant than in the north.

Yugoslavia is very pleasant throughout the four seasons. People don’t know
whether it is most beautiful in spring, when all the flowers blossom and all are growing and it becomes green. Or in the summer, when a large number of fruits are ripening; perhaps in the autumn when all possible colours of leaves are about; or when the snow is seen on the mountains in the winter.

The landscape is varied: from lowland on the north of the country, mountains in the interior and coastline on the south. Here, people can find many hills, meadows, streams, woods, caverns, rivers, lakes, etc.

Both climate and nature are wonderful for different people activities. In the
central part of Serbia, Sumadija, as well as in the western and eastern parts there are very good natural conditions for village tourism where it is possible to have a true rest in the peace and greenness and very interesting village jobs. As well, there is fishing, hunting and horseback riding in local conditions.

There are a good possibilities for organized hunting, from the birds and hares to the deers, bears and wolves, as well as organized fishing in the rivers, canals, lakes and the sea.

For lovers of horseback riding there are three well known paddocks, ZOBNATICA, KARADJORDJEVO and LJUBICEVO; with schools of riding, sports
riding, free riding in the nature and riding arrangements for short periods of time. There are very good conditions for bike, motorcycle and auto racing and rally drive, water sports (kayak, canoe, sailing, rafting. . .), as well as for paragliders, kite, soar, balloons and parachutists.

In Yugoslavia there are many Spas with the most important being: Vrnjacka,
Sokobanja, Igalo, Cigota, and Selters. For winter sports, the best mountain is Kopaonik with possibilities for highly skilled skiers, with Zlatibor and Tara also being considered. The above-mentioned climate and natural conditions are excellent both for amateur and professional preparation of sportsmen. This is demonstrated in the sports centers of Lepenski Vir, Vrnjacka Banja, Budva, and Palic.

In many cities and villages there are sports grounds and stadiums for so-called ‘little sports’ like volleyball, handball, basketball, little football.
The future of Yugoslavia is not in industrialization but in the natural resorts
which we have and must to utilize. For us, such natural wealth is worth much
more than petrol is for the OPEC countries. There is much to be done in the villages, spas, mountains, sea, sports centers, rivers and lakes and it is hoped that this will occur, after the political crisis is finished
(perhaps even this year).

Both tourists from EU countries (first of all, but not only) and the people of
Yugoslavia are interested in developing the best possible conditions for those sports tourists who want to spend their vacation in a different, but interesting and better way than till now.

The Consumption of Japanese Cultural Products in Thailand

In the heart of Bangkok, there is an area called “Siam Square” where young Thais go for fashionahle clothes, meeting friends, dining on international cuisines, or enjoying entertainment such as movies and bowling. Hundreds of small boutiques, shops, restaurants and some huge shopping malls attract them after school and on weekends.

On March 2000, when I visited Siam Square during my first trip to Thailand, I was very surprised to see young women walking on the streets in Siam Square wearing very thick-soled sandals that were very popular among Japanese women at that time. Although thick soled shoes have also been found in Europe and other countries for the past few decades. In 1999 and 2000, the thick-soled shoes Longing for Japan: The Consumption of Japanese Cultural Products In Thailand 253 of Japan or at suzokogutsu enjoyed a boom. The soles of these shoes were often thicker than 17 cm, which caused all kinds of accidents on the streets.

Fishermen Armed Against Pirates

GPS units may help Guyanese authorities fight an increase in pirate attacks
off the country’s southeastern coast, reports the Jamaica Gleaner.
Guyana’s Agriculture Minister Robert Persaud is urging fishermen to regis-
ter for a voluntary program that installs submersible radios and GPS system
on their boats, saying it would help authorities find them in an emergency.

He also says the government will create a fund to help them replace stolen
equipment, with fishermen contributing an undetermined sum each month.
Suriname has a different solution. The minister of Justice and Police
there said authorities are considering issuing firearms to fishermen, to
enable them to protect themselves against the violent attacks of pirates,
mostly Guyanese criminals.

Pirates killed at least nine fishermen in 2007 and have stolen hauls of
fish, nets, money, outboard engines, and even small boats off the coasts of
Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana.
