Reasons why I choose these countries

• I have chosen to start in Switzerland because
  this is where the pilot of the plane comes from
  and it will be an excellent idea to wave off his
  family, friends and nation in the country he was
  born in. I have chosen to go to Russia second
  because Russia is the biggest country in the
  world and the capital of Moscow where we are
  visiting has many different beautiful buildings.
  The reason why I want Bertrand to go to Australia
  is because I love animals and Australia has many
  kinds of different animals for example the koala.
  Next I want Mr Piccard to go to Brazil is because
  again it has lots of different amazing buildings
  and I cant wait to see them all. The forth
  country he will visit is USA simply because they
  are holding an ice hockey match between the
  Olympic team and some hopeful amateurs wanting to
  make the squad. Then Bertrand will visit Italy. I
  have chose Italy for the reason that, once we get
  to 2010 it will be the anniversary of the fall of
  Rome and there should be lots of things to do and
  see. Finally Bertrand will finish at South Africa
  simply because they will be hosting the 2010
  world cup and it will be a great reward for him
  to watch.

Italian Culture

• Italy, as a state, did not exist until the
  unification of the country in 1861. Due to this
  comparatively late unification, and the
  historical autonomy of the regions that comprise
  the Italian Peninsula, many traditions and
  customs that we now recognise as distinctly
  Italian can be identified by their regions of
  origin. Italy has been a seminal place for many
  important artistic and intellectual movements
  that spread throughout Europe and beyond,
  including the Renaissance and Baroque. Italy's
  vast artistic heritage includes the achievements
  of Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Donatello,
  Botticelli, Fra Angelico, Tintoretto, Caravaggio,
  Bernini, Titian and Raphael, among many others.

South African Culture

• It may be argued that there is no "single"
  culture in South Africa because of its ethnic
  diversity. Today, the diversity in foods from
  many cultures is enjoyed by all and especially
  marketed to tourists who wish to sample the large
  variety of South African cuisine. In addition to
  food, music and dance feature prominently.
• South African cuisine is heavily meat-based and
  has spawned the distinctively South African
  social gathering known as a braai, or barbecue.
  South Africa has also developed into a major wine
  producer, with some of the best vineyards lying
  in valleys around Stellenbosch, Franschoek, Paarl
  and Barrydale.
• In 2010 the FIFA World Cup is Going to be held in
  South Africa and they are going to be through
  straight away with out having to qualify.
