I am genuinely interested in all cultures and all peoples of the world. I am always fascinated by different traditions and beliefs that are different from mine. One place which happens to be special for me is the Mediterranean region where a kaledeiscope of culture may be found. Since the the dawn of time this region has been the melting pot of different civilizations: the ancient Mesopotamians, Egyptians, Persians, Phoenicians, Jewish, Greeks, Romans, Carthaginians, Arabs and Turkish cultures established the history and cultural blueprint of this lovely place on earth.
Today this region is as beautiful or sometimes as volatile as it was during the eras gone by. The European countries part of the Mediterranean region are Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, France, Greece, Italy, Malta, Monaco, Montenegro, Slovania, Spain and Turkey. In the Middle East the countries are Cyprus, Lebanon, Israel and Syria and in Africa the countries are Algeria, Egypt, Lybia, Morocco and Tunisia. If you notice the countries are old civilizations and most of them are highly cultured.
For the next few days, we will enjoy the lifestyle of the warm and sultry Mediterrenean and what it has to offer.
