<p>Planning on taking a grand vacation in Bangkok? The first thing to do is to book yourself and your companions in a hotel of excellent value, like <strong>Asia Hotel Bangkok</strong>. Not only is it strategically located near the business and commercial attractions of scenic Thailand, but it is also a few kilometers away from the international airport.</p>
<p>Tourists and business-oriented visitors alike gravitate towards <strong>Asia Hotel Bangkok</strong> because of its warm hospitality and highly appealing atmosphere that’s conducive for resting the body that’s weary from travel and exploration of the city’s many treasures. The hotel’s facilities and amenities are at par with the finest that Asia has to offer.  These include fitness &amp; massage centers, restaurants, internet access, no-smoking rooms, business facilities, pools for adults as well as kids, clinic &amp; laundry facilities, and retail shops, among others.</p>
<p>The hotel is situated near Pratunam market, a favorite place of shoppers of apparel at rock bottom prices. You’ve got to be able to keep walking to find your way in the maze of stalls and tiny shops offering all kinds of outfits from beach attire and jackets, to sexy tops, children’s clothes, and the most outlandish togs, not to mention designer fakes. Most tourists also get to experience the night markets, shop for souvenirs &amp; cheap goods, and get a glimpse of Bangkok’s “adult entertainment area.”  On the other hand, a taste of alternative style is offered by Siam Square, regarded as the center of all things cool and stylish. Siam Square is where shoppers will delightfully find internationally renowned high-end brands and independent traders offering merchandise at amazing prices. With the construction of the Bangkok sky train, Siam Center has emerged as a prime shopping destination with a wide array of stores, eateries and entertainment complexes that easily lure visitors looking for great finds and a nice time.</p>
<p>When the entire shopping, sightseeing and gastronomic journey and other leisure/business agenda are done, hoe off for your much needed rest at the terrific place where you booked yourself -- <strong>Asia Hotel</strong>. <strong>Bangkok</strong> is one place you’ll surely have fond memories of, thanks in large part to friendly and accommodating people who have made your stay utterly pleasurable.</p>
<p>Have we mentioned that the hotel is connected to the Bangkok Sky Train Station and is quite accessible to Siam Centre, Siam Paragon, Maboonklong Centre and Central World Plaza? Next time you find yourself in exotic Bangkok -- which has been described in various ways – from crazy &amp; busy to fun &amp; exciting – you know where to go if you want tastefully decorated rooms that are at par with hotels of international standards. Moreover, choose hotels where you may enjoy not just superior amenities but also a wide range of sports and recreational options, and also offers four restaurants catering to exquisite gourmet tastes and multicultural cuisines.  Be seduced by the serene and pleasant ambience conducive to relaxation, and enjoy the high standards of service and  upscale amenities that have earned for the hotel  a strong market hold and  prominence among the plethora of hotels in Thailand.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Krabi is a province of astonishing beauty, with spectacular views over the Andaman Sea and the closest coastal access to the Koh Hong island group, and the more famous Koh Phi Phi island. The province is largely ignored however by vacationers on luxury holidays in Thailand as Phuket is a short distance away and more notorious for it's luxury villas and condos.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Luxury villas are operating in Krabi, with all the amenities and service a guest would expect from the more developed Phuket, but with greatly reduced prices to reflect the seclusion and access of many of them.  For a guest seeking isolation and total relaxation Krabi is a perfect place to come for your luxury holiday in Thailand.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
The accommodation that has been built along the coast of Krabi province and islands off the coast such as Koh Lanta all share the same characteristics: private, luxurious and self-contained. Most have direct access to the beach and with spas, pools, restaurants and even shops, there is no need for guests ever to leave the confines of the villa area. Many villas offer personal chefs and maids to attend to your needs throughout the day, and drivers to shuttle you around should you wish to explore.<br />&#13;<br />
All of which is perfect for people who want a quiet, luxury break or an escape from the usual holiday crowd. Those who prefer not to stay around the pool being pampered for two weeks should definitely consider hiring a car or motorbike to explore the rest of the region.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
As all the Krabi villas are located directly on the shore, with only indirect public access, the beaches are effectively private, for the use only of the resorts' clients. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Krabi has something for everyone, whether you are an active sportsperson, or a lazy beach bum. Its stunning scenery provides adventure in the form of rock climbing and kayaking, as well as pure relaxation with island hopping tours and laidback beach life. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Underwater enthusiasts will love the diving and snorkeling in Krabi's warm coastal waters, while nature lovers can visit elephant camps and explore the diverse flora and fauna in the national parks. There are also plenty of outdoor sports available, including fishing, golf and mountain biking.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
After all that action, you can be pampered in one of Krabi's many spas, where you can try out a Thai massage, or visit the natural outdoor Jacuzzis at the Klong Thom hot springs site.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Immerse yourself in local culture with Thai cookery lessons or a visit to the famous Tiger cave temple with its spectacular mountain-top shrine.  All of these activities can be arranged by the impeccable service on offer at some of the most unique Asian villas available.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
These stunning Villa rentals are on a par with anything in Asia, yet very few people have a chance to experience them as they head to the more famous villas in Phuket and Samui.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
For the more adventurous, or for those who have experienced the best of Phuket and Samui, Luxury villas in Krabi can offer something new and exciting for guests on vacation in Thailand.</p>

<p><strong>The Nam</strong></p>
<p>The 1950s saw Pattaya as a small sleepy fishing village on one of those sleepy lazy Thai ports. Its beaches like many other Thai beaches stood beautifully palm fringed with squeaky golden sands but yet ignored, unused and alone; its sole purpose-to haul in fishing nets and boats. Indeed, Thais in those days were hardly interested in Beach hotel resorts and entertainments a luxury not yet discovered here. When the North Vietnamese attacked South Vietnam, Thailand and number of other Asian and Oceanic countries once again stepped in as an ally to the West, not only did Thailand offer its well-trained, jungle experienced troops. But it also allowed a very strategic position by way of army, navy and air bases all over the country. The ”nowhere” Nakhon Ratchisima military base as it was referred to in the early years was at first one of those strategic GI Bases with little in regards to R&amp;R for the troops, that is until Pattaya beaches were discovered. In no time at all with supply and demand in favour of the Thais, Pattaya exploded on to the tourism scene with entertainment for the troops, that included beach life, surf life, wild life and above all hotels and of course, later luxury hotels. With a raging war in the distance, Pattaya became a lifesaving oasis of comparative luxury. As one war poet put it [As time stood still along the front where bullets fly and fear dies, I for one will accept in passing the day of judgement, the day of reckoning, but God put by the day of resting and relaxing…].</p>
<p>By the time war had finally come to an end, Pattaya had already become a comparatively large hotel and vacation resort. From then on in- Pattaya beach grew and with this growth came tourism and more growth. Luxury hotels were built. Many Thais mainly from Bangkok also enjoyed the new founded pleasures of hotel and resort life, many renting bungalows or even buying beach land and houses.  From that point on the resort of Pattaya was well and truly established as main holiday destination for both Thais and foreign guests. The 1980s and 90s was a huge boom period for the town with the large influx of tourism from not only Thailand but also from Europeans escaping the cold winters. With infrastructural maintenance necessary the city’s administration has grown to help cater for the increase in size and in demand of what is now considered one of Thailand’s biggest resort towns.  Within in the last twenty years and even more recently; the Dusit Thani chain has not only set up the Royal Pattaya Hotel but also the very, very  slick-modern dusit2 baraquda Pattaya-its futuristic structure impresses in its locations on Second Road. If you wish for luxury modern state-of-the art, dusit2 has it, if you wish for European or S-E Asian cuisine it’s here.  Seventy two spacious luxury rooms fitted with high-tech amenities and chic furnishings and amazing five star quality service.</p>
<div style="margin:5px;padding:5px;border:1px solid #c1c1c1;font-size: 10px;">
<p>Enjoy the comforts and slickness at one of the excellent <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://www.dusit.com/hotels/thailand/pattaya/dusit_thani/index.html"> Pattaya hotels </a>.

<p>Phuket Thailand hotels are some of the busiest in the world, as most of Phuketâs income comes from tourism. It is the largest island in Thailand, and can be compared in size to Singapore. It is set off the west coast and is connected to the mainland by a bridge. The surrounding region consists of 1 large island and 39 small ones. Historically, the island served as a major trade route between India and China. Now, it is one of the hottest tourist destinations in the world and people travel from all over the world to stay at a luxury Phuket resort.</p>
<p>Â </p>
<p>There are many attractions that make Phuket one of the worldâs busiest tourist destinations. Phuket is known for its nightlife, seafood restaurants, and shopping.</p>
<p>There are a variety of restaurants, lounges, bars, discos and live music venues to choose from. In the evening, Patong Beach becomes an impressive bazaar, and the roads grow crowded with stands selling hand-made crafts, silk scarves, sarongs and a multitude of other items. The historic downtown area of Phuket, commonly called Old Phuket, is full of shops carrying traditional Thai crafts, textiles and antiques, as well as souvenirs. The restored buildings also offer a picture perfect place for sightseeing.</p>
<p>Â </p>
<p>Patong beach offers a host of recreational options including: windsurfing, snorkeling, parasailing, jet skiing, swimming, sailing, and simply relaxing while getting some sun. Hat Karon beach is the second largest in Phuket and is considerably less hectic than Patong. This beach is known for its beautiful white sand and the coral reef at its southern point. It is a great area for families to enjoy seafood, or couples to enjoy the sunset. For those who need a break from the beach, there is Khao Phra Thaeo Wildlife Conservation Development and Extension Centre. The park offers giant trees and a variety of wild animals. It also serves as a center for environmental study. All of these attractions are within close traveling distance of a luxury Phuket resort. Since they are so conveniently located, you wonât have to worry about a long trip back to the Phuket Thailand hotels.Â </p>
<p>Another major reason international visitors flock to Phuket is the exquisite local cuisine. Many of these dishes can be found at most Phuket Thailand hotels in addition to traditional restaurants. Khanom Jeen is a breakfast dish combining noodles, spicy curry sauce and fresh vegetables. Nam Phrik Kung Siap combines smoked shrimp, fresh vegetables and dried chilis. Kao Man Gai is a favorite, simple dish made of chicken and rice that is sold at small stands all over the city.</p>
<p>Â </p>
<p>There are many things you need to take into consideration when choosing the perfect place to stay on your vacation in Phuket. If you like the busy night life and the wide variety of activities, then Patong beach is for you. If you are on budget and love the white sands, you should consider finding a place to stay on Karon Beach. But if you are the type that likes to rest in luxury then there are many luxury Phuket resorts on Bang Tao beach for you to choose from.</p>

<p>Koh Chang is an exotic island resort in Thailand which is obscured by its more famous counterparts, the island resorts of Phuket and Koh Samui.It is the third largest island in Thailand behind Phuket and Koh Samui respectively.</p>
<p>&#13;However, the obscurity of this island is waning as more and more people are getting to know about this island's tourism potential and are making a beeline this relatively quieter and unspoilt Thai island resort.</p>
<p>&#13;With more and more domestic and foreign tourists visiting to Koh Chang for their holiday vacation, developers and hotel owners are rushing in to tap this market potential. For example, the Amari Emerald Cove Resort, the first 5-star resort hotel on the main island opened its doors just a few years ago and since then, there are many such projects springing up in Koh Chang.</p>
<p>&#13;The White Sand Beach area is a family oriented area and quite a number of assorted beach resorts and hotels can be found here along with some luxurious beach resorts such as Chang Buri Resort and Spa and Koh Chang Kacha Resort and Spa. There are also simple beach hut shacks such as the Rock Sand Bungalow and the evergreen Bamboo Bungalow for the budget conscious tourists.</p>
<p>&#13;Located on the western side of Koh Chang is the Hat Tha Nam or Lonely Beach which is also very popular with low budget travelers and the backpacking tourists whereas Kai Bae beach is more popular with scuba divers.</p>
<p>&#13;The Thai government has announced that Koh Chang will developed into the next premium beach resort tourist destination and vowed that they will not commit the same mistakes they made in Pattaya, Phuket and Koh Samui where resort development was not meticulously regulated and are infrastructural nightmares.</p>
<p>&#13;In Koh Chang however, the Thai authorities have imposed strict building regulations and directives for beach front developments such as limiting all man-made structures to a maximum height of three storeys. To control indiscriminate developments, the government declared 85% of Koh Chang as a national park and thus any developments are disallowed in these areas.</p>
<p>&#13;Unlike Phuket and Koh Samui with their cacophony of tourism related shops, noisy entertainment outlets and sleazy clubs, Koh Chang is just the opposite and is tranquil, quiet and delightful. Tourists have almost nothing to do besides enjoying water sports like snorkeling, scuba diving, fishing or just simply soaking up the sun by the beaches.</p>
<p>&#13;There are 52 islands which make up Koh Chang National Marine Park and thus potential for the scuba diving industry is excellent. Already, there are more than 20 dive operators in this island resort offering scuba diving excursions, conducting certification lessons and renting diving related equipment.</p>
<p>&#13;The best time to go scuba diving in Koh Chang is in the beginning of the year when its pristine water is calm and underwater visibility is at its best. Non divers can also take catamarans to go island hopping cruises.</p>
<p>&#13;For tourists and beach lovers who prefer laid back beaches and unspoilt nature, do visit Koh Chang now before it is morphed into another commercialized beach destination in Thailand. Will Koh Chang island resort become the next Phuket or Koh Samui? Only time can provide the answer.</p>
<p>&#13;This exotic tourist attraction in Thailand is accessible by ferry from Trat on Eastern Thailand and the peak season to frolic in Koh Chang's beautiful beaches is from December to April.</p>

<p>There are the typical "dream" vacations like Hawaii, Orlando, Florida, London, and Paris. But what about all the unbelievable destinations you may not have even heard about? Here are a select few of them. 1. Cinque Terre, Italy is a series of villages clinging to a remote stretch of the Riviera coastline. The quaintness of the towns and the area's natural beauty is forever preserved because Cinque Terre has been declared a national park. Hikers love to walk trails that tower above the Mediterranean and pass close by the native villages. Riomaggiore takes you through a tunnel to a tangle of colorful homes and an uncrowded beach. Corniglia sits smugly upon a hilltop from which you can swoon at the view. Vernazza is a rugged place full of vineyard terraces for the best wine in the region, all overseen by a mysterious ruined castle. Monterosso al Mare has a sandy beach where you can swim if you really want to. Then it's back to Vernazza for a delicious dinner of the freshest seafood. This is beautiful, authentic Italy-the one you dreamed of experiencing. 2. Four Seasons Tented Camp, Thailand: The Golden Triangle is comprised of bamboo forests where Thailand, Burma, and Laos meet. This is where you can find Four Seasons, the ultimate jungle luxury-an eclectic mix of asian rustic and modern taste. Fifteen elevated tented accommodations are reminiscent of 19th century adventure expeditions, even down to the hand-hammered copper bathtubs. An open-air thatched roof pavilion by the riverbank offers Thai, Laotian, Burmese, and western cuisine. During the day, one can watch elephant training or go on one of the fascinating excursions. If you need pampering, go to the spa for rejuvenating treatments for your body and spirit. At night, torches burn by the tents as travelers gaze out at a magnificent sunset and find perfect serenity. 3. Marrakech, Morocco: And now for something completely different! When you step into Marrakech you will think you have just stepped into a Middle Eastern movie set. Picture scores of market stalls along an endless labyrinth--- snake charmers, monkeys, musicians, dancers and storytellers performing to the sound of weird music and drum beat. Visit the Majorelle Gardens, visit actual Berber villages, see the Dar Si Said Museum, or tour the ornate El Bahia palace. If you want more action, go biking, Hot Air Ballooning, or White Water Rafting. The government ensures that all food stalls offer fresh, top quality food so not to worry. Buy grilled sausages on Moroccan bread, beef stew, harira soup, riifa (Moroccan pancake) and the delicious spicy tea. For posh surroundings, you can eat at the La Makarechi. Otherwise, enjoy repasts at Café Agrana, Café Alhamra, or Chez El Bahia. Foods not to miss are pastille (sweet, savory meat pie), Kefta (superb ground beef and egg), tagine (chicken/olive, prune/almond, etc.), or a spicy dessert. There's a wide span of lodgings, from modern western hotels to native riads. Equity Point Marrakech is a beautiful hostel to check out in the best section of the city. The place has an amazing rooftop from which to view the town. There are doubles, singles, and dorms available. Rooms have full bathrooms, incredible furniture, mezzanines, cushions, etc. There's also a restaurant attached serving excellent Moroccan food. If you have a taste for the exotic, Marrakech is for you. 4. St. Vincent, the Grenadines: I know. You've probably never heard of the Grenadines. That's for the best. They are still fresh and unspoiled. It's a small group of islands between Puerto Rico and the Venezuelan coast. What do these islands offer? Only natural waterfalls where you can swim, black sand beaches, majestic volcanoes, botanical gardens, fortification ruins, Romanesque and Gothic Christian sites, spectacular diving, and serene resorts with every amenity. These are only the perfect islands for you. 5. Whitefish, Montana: Whitefish is a small town in a huge state. But this small town stands near the entrance of one of the most remarkable state parks in the U.S., Glacier National Park. We can heartily recommend two lodging places, depending on your tastes: If you don't mind country rustic and a distant train whistle, then the Grouse Mountain Lodge is your pick. It has a gigantic fireplace, antler chandeliers, and stuffed bears in the lobby. On the other hand, if you like peace and complete privacy, you might opt for the North Forty Resort with its well-equipped cabins where you can sit on your porch and cook out every night if you want. Some other great places to eat are the award-winning Tupelo Grille, the Red Caboose (breakfast), Mackenzies (pizza), and the Craggy Range (buffalo burgers).There are a thousand things to do, including the national park which encompasses over 1 million acres, 300 lakes, 50 active glaciers, the longest designated wild river system in the U.S., and hundreds of animal species including the wild mountain goat. Do I really have to list all that you can see or do? I think you can figure it out. 6. Bernese Oberland, Switzerland: In the famously beautiful nation of Switzerland, the Oberland could be called the crown jewel. On a comfortable summer day, you will wonder how you can walk through a field of flowers, step over jagged rocks, view snow-studded peaks above you, while lakes just below the peaks are not frozen solid. Gazing down from a mountain top you glimpse bluffs boasting over 70 waterfalls, and then you're awestruck with panoramic Lauterbrunnen Valley. Even skiers who've seen a hundred similar sites agree it's the most breathtaking valley in Europe. The area offers both great hiking and fast skiing---along with mountain-biking, rock climbing, swimming, golf, horseback riding, tennis, sailing and windsurfing. Bed down in a cozy chalet in Interlaken, Grindelwald, Gstaad, or Thun. 7. Finger Lakes, New York: We're talking about eleven slender lakes, 25 state parks, 1,063 waterfalls, strings of river gorges, a national wildlife refuge, and acres and acres of wine vineyards. In the midst of this wondrous area, the John Treman State Park comes highly recommended. Two great restaurants are the Taughannock Farms Inn and Port's Café. Three bed &amp; breakfast inns that folks rave about are: South Glenora Tree Farm, Wagener Estate, and Elmira's Painted Lady. Between the hiking, the water sports, festivals, cultural events, and the wine-tasting, one does not run out of things to do. 8. Quebec City, Canada: Calling this city the "poor man's Paris" is very unfair. It's cobblestone streets and chateau-style clifftop architecture is charming, expenses are lower than in Paris, and it offers attractive options for either summer or winter. Between July 4-14 the International Summer Festival offers streetside improvisational theater and some of the best jazz, folk, and rock performances you will ever hear. And beginning in the middle of January and into February, the city offers Carnival de Quebec. Here you will find the Calgary Stampede flapjack breakfast, outdoor dance parties, ice fishing, a single- and double-harness sleigh race, dog agility competition obstacle course, snow slides, downhill skiing, an ice tower, snow rafting, and a snow sculpture contest. (While you're in the city, you really can't afford to miss the Laurentides Wildlife Park). And I'll bet you thought the only thing to do in Canada was fish. Wrong. I'll bet you can't decide which of these destinations you most want to visit. Well, why not rank them and try to go to everyone during your lifetime.</p>

<p>The 26 December tsunami was the worst natural disaster to ever strike Thailand, causing loss of life as well as major damage to property, the environment and the economy. The severe impact on the natural environment in turn had serious consequences on the fishing and tourism industries and, therefore, thousands of families' livelihoods. Below information shows the impact of the disaster, Thai Government and the UN response, recovery issues and progress and other useful information on the Tsunami 2004.</p>
<p>As the world prepares to mark the fifth anniversary of the tsunami that killed 226,000 people, in 13 Asian and African countries, scars have yet to heal even after homes have been rebuilt, tourists have returned and foreign aid has ended.</p>
<p>In Thailand, 8,212 people were killed in the catastrophe or are still missing. The total included around 2,200 foreign tourists, almost all of whom were vacationing on or around the southern island of Phuket, a region that had contributed as much as 40 percent of Thailand's annual tourism income.</p>
<p>By the start of 2008, tourism had recovered so much local officials confidently predicted it would take just another year to return to pre-tsunami levels, breathing hope into an industry accounting for 6 percent of Thailand's economy.</p>
<p>But the global financial crisis and political uncertainty in Thailand intervened, pushing down tourist arrivals just as foreign aid for tsunami victims dried.</p>
<p>Through five years have past , Thailand still scarred five years after tsunami</p>
<p>a joke:Who do you think you are </p>
<p>Jesus and Arnold Palmer were playing golf. It's Arnold's turn to tee off, and he does so. It's a long drive straight up the fairway, and he's about a five iron off the green. "Not bad," Jesus says. A Jesus step up to tee off, but His drive slices badly and lands on an island in the middle of a water hazard. Jesus calmly walks across the water to take his next shot. </p>
<p>"Jesus!" yells Palmer, "Who do you think you are, Jack Nicklaus?"</p>

<p>You are on vacation and you wander by a clothing shop and someone sitting out front says to you. "Good Evening sir, you want a nice suit?".</p>
<p> This happens often here in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Hundreds of thousands of tourists visit each year and are drawn by the culture, prices, delicious food and shopping bargains. </p>
<p> There are hundreds of custom clothing shops in this city. They look alike with a person of Indian descent sitting out front trying to entice visitors into the shop. Inside the shop are rolls of fabric from which to select material for dresses, shirts, overcoats, suits, slacks, and pants. </p>
<p> Would you know if the prices and quality are a deal?</p>
<p> I wouldn't have know until I did some research and actually visited a number of these clothing shops. What I discovered is the following:</p>
<p> The clothes are extremely well made and can even be ordered over the internet and delivered anywhere in the world at a savings over the price in the home country. </p>
<p> The suits that I saw which had been completed and ready to be picked up or sent abroad were similar to what I would have seen in Canada. The differences that I noticed are that you can have the suit made exactly the way you want, and to fit you perfectly. </p>
<p> If you are short you may want longer pants so you appear taller. If you are overweight you may want the suit longer and larger than normal. </p>
<p> For the ladies the same applies. The clothing can be made to bring out your best physical characteristics and hide the qualities you do not like in your physical makeup. </p>
<p> That is one of the main features of buying custom made clothing. </p>
<p> The other is price. Here in Chiang Mai you can buy a tuxedo for less than the rental price back home. Should you need to dress up for a fancy restaurant or theatre or opera the tuxedo is there waiting for you. When you go to a restaurant dressed in a tux you will be given the best table. </p>
<p> I noticed shirts that were custom made and I really liked them. The lapels were rounded in one shirt and stiff and I loved the material. I also noticed that they can embroider your initials on the lapel or on the sleeve and that is a nice touch which shows people that you are wearing a premium custom made garment. </p>
<p> For ladies, men and children clothes are custom made and everyone in the family can look their best at a price that is lower or much lower than back home. </p>
<p> Why buy off the rack a suit that does not fit perfectly. Even a suit off the rack that is altered will not look as good as a custom made suit. </p>
<p> So if you are even visiting Thailand, and Chiang Mai visit the clothing shops. Free transportation if you buy something and they all speak English. </p>
<p> Go back home with extra clothing in your luggage and you will probably not even pay any sales taxes or duty on the articles you purchased. </p>
<p> We recommend (contact us for our recommendations). </p>
<p> You will be treated like royalty when you enter the shop and look like a prince or princess when you put on the clothing you ordered. </p>
<p> A great vacation and part or most of it paid for by the savings in custom made clothing.</p>
<p> Often customers are so pleased with the clothing they re-order by phone or over the internet.</p>
