Scuba diving

It's been was long since the last time I dived. Last time it was in Mexico, where I dived for the first time in fresh water in a Cenote. It was good but less I'd thought. You can see very clearly the stones carved by water, but when you are inside the water for a time, it's allways the same. Really, I don't know if there's any point in paying what is asked for it.
Before this occasion, I had dived in the sea, with cold water. I started to do it with a good friend of mine, who is a great instructor as well. When I was in the beginning of my practices, I thought the most difficult it thing would be to breathe only through my mouth and it was right. Exhaleing through my nose was inevitable, ; above all, in for my past???  as a swimmer. When I could do that correctly, it was all right.
I don't need to see lots of fishes and beautiful stones to enjoy the inmersions. The most I like is the feeling of ingravity. You can control when you go up or go down only with your breath, and I liked when I passed close to the rocks.

Polyglot power!!

After months focused ing just on Arabic, I am now finally in a couple of days moving back to Europe, and focusing on improving and practising ALL my other languages.

I'm glad to see that lots of people have been signing up via my referral link and buying credits thereafter, so I'm filthy rich in ITC and can get many classes myself - thanks a lot everyone!!

How is everyone's progress going in their target languages?

If u use focusED instead of focusING, the result will be a dangling structure in which the subject in the first sentence is not the same as that in the secomd sentence, although your sentence also makes sentence and is gramattically justifiable.

Visitors or host country should change to adapt with eachother?

As tourism have has been growing enormously for recent decades, the question arises whether it is better to ignore or follow the host country’s ethical practises. To a certain extend t, I agree that local people should welcome tourists as well as their own social manners. However, I also think that it is important that tourists respect and follow the local rules to avoid ethical conflicts.

One the one hand, the main reason why people travel is the desire of for exploration & new experience.Exploring does is not limited within natural adventure, nice stay and exotic food, but it also requires deep involvement in cultural exchange and local practices. Tourists, for instance, can find their trips much more enjoyable and unforgettable if they attempt to learn some useful terms in local language or greet each other the way these local people do. Another important point to remmember/note is that apart from those universally accepted practices, a great deal of social etiquettes can be cultural specific in terms of religion religious or ancient conventions. For example, while it is absolutely usual to eat as much steak as you want in America or Canada, Indian people believe that such eating practise is unacceptable and may represent a impoliteness and disrespect towards their religion.

On the other hand, hospitality is the nature of human beings ( or human beings are hospitable by nature). People have a stronger tendency to welcome new-comers rather than judging them harshly on their awkward behaviors. In addition, the increasing development of tourism industry and related services make people realize that tourists benefit their national incomes in many ways. Understanding this, local residents as well as authority should generate new effective ways to attract more visitors instead of forcing foreigners to obey their own principles, allowing more space and pleasure for the foreigners to enjoy their trips in the most comfortable ways. Last but not least, local people can do more good than harm when treating foreign visitors with open mind because meeting new people means absorbing unknown knowledge of culture by a most more practical learning habit which can be found no where in schools or books.

From what has been discussed, I believe that both indigenous residents and foreign guests should practise reciprocity by accepting each other and changing themselves in one way or another.
