Traveling alone or in a tour group? -- Some people like to travel in a tour group. Other people prefer to travel alone. Which do you prefer?

I don't travel very much, because I go with friends and family everytime. But to be honestly, traveling alone is my dream. When I whatch the traveling tv program or books, I always imagine if I was in those places and guess what I will do there.

Some people may seem traveling along as a lony and troublesome thing. Before starting off, they have to search for imformation everywhere and handle the tickets, programs and accommodation. In addition, their safe is the most important. How do they protect yourself in an unfamiliar place? But, all the above-mentioned can't be problem in my point of view.

It will be more free to travel along than to travel in a tour group. I can arrange any plans following my inclinations. This is the most attractive advantage. Mapping out my own schedule is interesting, because I love to see around the experiences shared by others. Though its really a troublesome matter, I believe there must be something wothy of trying.

Sk8er Boi by Avril

The singer, Avril, is especially good at writing music realistically. The story in this song is about a boy who had been turned down by a arrogant girl but became a superstar afterwards.

In the beginning, the boy was a skater and always in baggy clothes. The girl was a ballet-dancer and had pretty face. "How inconsistent they stood together!" the girl thought. So,she refused him. After five years, she saw that skater boy slamming on guitar on TV when she fed her baby. She went to his concert seeing the show. The man on the stage was outshining all others. The boy she used to know was succeed and had a suitable girlfriend. She couldn't be more regretful.

This story was writted by the first person who was the boy's current girlfriend. She made a dig at that girl whose head was up in space. I like the song not only for the interesting story but its beautiful rhythm and tune. Anyone who likes it can ask from me.

The Finest Band in the History of Pop Music

The world of music will never be the same since the formation of a band in Liverpool, England in 1956. The Beatles were formed by George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney, and John Lennon. Their first hit song Love Me Do was recorded in 1962. The Beatles quickly became the world's best- known pop music group and many people today still regard them as the finest band in the history of pop music.

Lennon and McCartney were the authors of most of the songs the group recorded. Harrison also wrote songs often using ideas from Indian music. The drummer of the group was the famous Ringo Starr and he occasionally sang. For six years the Beatles had hit after hit song. Twenty-eight of their songs were on the Top Twenty record charts and seventeen of these songs reached number one on the charts.

The group also, had a successful movie career. The comedy A Hard Day's Night and Yellow Submarine became very successful movies. People imitated their long hairstyles, clothing, and wisecracking humor. Almost all later pop bands learned from the Beatles. The strong fan following the Beatles had been called Beatlemania.
