My idea of fun!
People around the world relax in very different ways. We look at favorite leisure activities in three continents…
1. Surfing capital of the world
Any sunny day on the coast of Australia, you can see hundreds young people going to the beach. They all share Australia’s national passion – surfing. “My friends and I usually go down to the beach before breakfast in the summer,” says 19-year-old Jim Wolfe, “and come home again for dinner!” At weekends it is quite normal to drive hundreds of kilometres to find that “perfect wave”. But in Sydney. the biggest city in Australia. you don’t have that problem – there are thirty-four close to the city centre!
2. The music of the people
The most popular dance of Brasil, samba, is often called “the music of the people”. In the 1960s and 1970s people turned to US-style pop music, but these days samba is back again. There are different versions of samba: some that people dance in their villages, others that they practise especially to dance at Carnival. In Rio thousands of people go to samba schools, typically on a Saturday night – to dance, to learn … or just to watch. Thirty-year-old Ana Rita goes every week with her husband “… just because it’s fun! Everybody loves to dance, and it’s a great way to meet people!”
3. A day in the “banya”
If you’re happy to take a bath in public, then a Russian banya or bath
house, is the place for you. Russian of all types meet there … at any time of day. They go there to relax, to talk to their friends or even to discuss business. “It doesn’t matter if you’re old or young, fat or thin. Nobody cares, nobody looks at you … it’s a wonderful place!” says 24-year-old Masha, a student from St. Petersburg. There are cold baths, as well as a hot room where the temperature can reach forty-three degrees.
