Millions of Beaches

Monday, July 16th, 2007

We just visited perfect beach #3 of our trip. The beaches of Zanzibar are indeed quite nice with their amazingly fine white sand, blissfully torquoise waters and unlimited opportunities for lounging under palm trees. Beachfront massages, cosy bungalows, and thatched-roof bars serving deliriously fresh seafood are all the typical perks of this paradise, just like Southern Thailand and all of Fiji.

Why is paradise so reproduced throughout the world from the Caribbean to the Pacific to the Greek Islands? There are so many diverse jungles, deserts, mountains and glaciers to see. On par with these breathtaking natural sites, there are the many awe-inspiring man-made treasures as diverse as the Taj Mahal, Angkor Wat, and the Eiffel Tower.

Travelzoo’s deal options lead us to believe that the 7 natural wonders of the world will all be beaches. Are we just blindly overlooking the allure or, more likely, are we just missing the whole point of a vacation?

In either case, we’re off to the Pyramids, a former wonder of the world, and now the 8th.

ZIFF

Wednesday, July 11th, 2007

In the past 8 months, we’ve gone to see 5 movies. In 4 days on Zanzibar at the International Film Festival of the Dhow countries, we saw over 35 movies ranging from 4 minutes to 104 minutes long. Most, if not all, will never reach US movie theatres, and there were a few attempts that shouldn’t. However, most of the movies chosen for the film festival were interesting and relevant to current Tanzanian issues including the plight of indigenous peoples, AIDS, women’s rights, and Islamic society. Films came from such esoteric places as Uganda, Jamaica, Indonesia, Denmark, and of course Tanzania. Movies that you should seek out and watch include “Infinite Justice” from Pakistan, the humorous “Codeine” from Iran, and “Who’s Afraid of Ngugi?” from Kenya. While it was grueling to wake up for morning screenings after listening to live hip-hop and reggae until 1AM, we devoured return to entertainment.

On Zanzibar, they wear the sarongs of Southeast Asia, eat the chapatis of India, and play the Taarab music of Egypt. We didn’t plan to follow the historic trade route of the dhows, but doing so has made the festival and Zanzibar as a whole more accessible. At the same time, it’s allowed us to connect the dots on our trip and answered our questions of why there are Africans in Gujarat, India, and why EVERYBODY wears a sarong. Now, we wonder how the Portuguese didn’t conquer the world, and we’re glad we flew by airplane instead of riding a dhow.
