If you love flowers, then hurry to visit the Keukenhof Tulip gardens near Amsterdam in The Netherlands. And since you are so close to Amsterdam, why not stay in one of the many hotels there?
The best place to book hotels in Amsterdam is at easytobook.com. Why? Because they specialize in hotels of 3 European cities:
The website is accessible in a whopping 8 languages, including English of course. Most of the hotels in Amsterdam are listed. From bed and breakfasts, cheap hotels to luxurious accommodations. You name it, they got it!
If you go to the Rome hotels, you can choose your day of arrival and departure and see what is available at what cost in the currency of your choice. You also cannot miss their special hotel offers. A must check today: 40 dollars for a double room in Rome is like the Italians would say: an offer you can’t refuse!

Another strong smelling yet most delicious fruit from Malaysia: jackfruit
Jackfruit Picture
Jackfruit picture
Jackfruit is a really humongous fruit: the big oval fruit in the jackfruit picture above can easily be twice as big as a human head. If you travel on the smaller roads in Malaysia, you can just see jackfruit trees with big jackfruits like in the jackfruit picture above.
Inside the jackfruit are the delicious fleshy yellow fruits. Not as mushy as the durian, a bit less strong smell and more juicy. Just that thee white juice coming out of the green rind of the jackfruit can leave stains on your clothes, so easier to buy the jackfruit readily cut.
Jackfruit is generally served as dessert. Overseas, you can buy jackfruit juice.
Jackfruit Recipe
When green, both the flesh and edible seeds are used in Malay curry dishes. Anyone having a jackfruit recipe by hand, please leave a comment!

Do you love to blog like me? Then make your hobby into your profession and get paid for blogging!
There are many services on the block connecting advertisers with bloggers, and a fresh new one is blog for money with smorty.com.
I signed up yesterday and got already approved today and I am writing my very first assignment right now.
Of course we have to see and wait how things role out, but what I already love:
- you can have a live chat help online! Yesterday I just tried that out, got Brian answering my questions like: when will I get approved, how can I add another blog…
- the interface is fast! I can read my tasks and account on the spot. No images that take seconds to download
- it is all logical and it works:
- see your tasks,
- click to choose 1 task
- click to see the details and requirements
- see the date how much time you still have to take the assignment
- click to accept
At smorty.com you can choose tasks from a list: I prefer this than getting my assignments send by email. Why? So I know which and how many tasks there are available and I can plan my blogging accordingly.
Let’s see how smorty.com evolves in the future, but I have the feeling these guys are going to stay in the new world of blog advertising. Why? Because it feels they already passed the stage of beta-testing the software and can now focus fully on getting bloggers connected with advertisers.
