Getting a Jordan Visa to Visit the Dead Sea
December 5th, 2009
Jordan's Rift Valley is the home of the world-famous Dead Sea. Located just over 400 miles below sea level, the Dead Sea shore is the lowest land area on the planet.
The Dead Sea is fed by the River Jordan, but the water has no place to go and so it slowly evaporates, leaving deposits of salts and other minerals behind. The Dead Sea has a salinity level of 33.7%, according to Wikipedia. For comparison, the ocean has an average salinity level of 3.5%.
The Dead Sea is approximately 8.6 times as salty as seawater. Because of the high concentration of salt, if you go for a swim in the Dead Sea you will float like a cork!

Get a Gabon Visa to See Hippos Surf
December 3rd, 2009
Have you ever seen a hippopotamus surf? If not, you should definitely put Gabon on your list of places to visit.
Tourists flock to Gabon for its amazingly diverse forests and parks. A full 10% of Gabon's land area was protected and turned into national parkland in 2002 by President El Hadj Omar Bongo. The most famous of Gabon's national parks is Loango National Park, which encompasses savanna, dense forests and unspoiled white sand beaches.
In the forests, you'll find elephants and even families of gorillas. The beaches are home to the famous surfing hippos-if you're lucky, you'll see them playing in the waves just off the shore. Further away from the beach, you can spot whales and dolphins.
Visiting Loango National Park helps maintain this amazing ecosystem. The money you spend
