is an island country in the south-western Pacific Ocean comprising two main landmasses (the North Island and the South Island), and numerous smaller islands, most notably Stewart Island/Rakiura and the Chatham Islands. The indigenous Māori language name for New Zealand is <i><b>Aotearoa</b></i>, commonly translated as <i>The Land of the Long White Cloud</i>. The Realm of New Zealand also includes the Cook Islands and Niue (self-governing but in free association); Tokelau; and the Ross Dependency (New Zealand's territorial claim in Antarctica).</div><div></div><div style="text-align: justify;">New Zealand is notable for its geographic isolation: it is situated about 2,000 km (1250 miles) southeast of Australia across the Tasman Sea, and its closest neighbours to the north are New Caledonia, Fiji and Tonga. During its long isolation New Zealand developed a distinctive fauna dominated by birds, a number of which became extinct after the arrival of humans and the mammals they introduced.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The majority of New Zealand's population is of European descent; the indigenous Māori are the largest minority. Asians and non-Māori Polynesians are also significant minority groups, especially in urban areas. The most commonly spoken language is English.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Birmingham was at the heart of the UK's industrial revolution, and its wealth was built upon the multitude of trades that were spawned. This led to a massive canal network, with more miles of canals than Venice (though they're very different types of canal). </span></div><span class="fullpost">Much of the city center was destroyed during the Second World War, and the replacement buildings added little to the city. However, since the 1990s, Birmingham has been undergoing a radical change and many of the post war buildings have been replaced.

Hinduism, the prominent religion, is intimately woven into the fabric of everyday life, reflected in an extraordinary range of time-honoured traditions. Apart from its ancient spiritual framework, India's <b>vastness</b> also challenges the imagination, being home to one sixth of the world's population. </span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 85%;">Its <b>intoxicatingly rich history</b> can be traced back to at least 2500BC when the first known civilisation settled along the Indus River. There wa</span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 85%;">s an influx of Mughals in the 1520s from Central Asia, who maintained effective control of the north until the mid-18th century. At the end of that century, as the <b>Mughal Empire</b> declined, the <b>British</b> took control of the whole subcontinent, and India was administered by a single alien power. </span><br />
<span class="fullpost"><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 85%;">The Indian National Congress was formed in 1885, but made little progress on independence until <b>Mahatma Gandhi</b> began the policy of non-violent non-cooperation with the British. But the Congress itself was later split on the issue of Hindus and Muslims. The Muslims, under Mohammad Ali Jinnah, claimed a separate homeland and in August 1947 the independent states of India and Pakistan came into being. Since this time, India has been a <b>democratic republic</b>.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 85%;">Such a rich history has spawned an incredible number of exquisite <b>palaces</b>, <b>temples</b> and <b>monuments</b>. The most frequently visited part of India is the <b>Golden Triangle</b>, comprised of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. Meanwhile, the people-packed cities of <b>Mumbai</b> </span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 85%;">(Bombay) and <b>Kolkata</b> (Calcutta) have a bustling, colourful charm, while the holy city of Varanasi and the awe-inspiring temples of Tamil Nadu are rewarding places of pilgrimage. For those in search of tropical bliss, there are the <b>palm-fringed beaches </b>of <b>Goa</b><b> </b>and<b> Kerala</b>. And for fresh air and serenity, India ripples with pristine mountains and hills, from the towering beauty of the mighty <b>Himalayas</b> to a bevy of beautiful pine forests, orchards and babbling streams.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 85%;">One of the greatest fascinations of India is the startling <b>juxtaposition of old and new</b>; centuries of history rubbing shoulders with the trappings of modern-day living, from slick Internet cafes and fancy fast-food eateries, to swanky bars and chichi boutiques.<br />

Founded by the Vikings in 853, and later extended by the Anglo Normans, it is set in a commanding site on the River Suir's estuary, and became the southeast's main seaport. From the 18th century onwards, the industry of the city prospered, most famously its glass industry. The strong commercialism still exists today, and the port is still one of Ireland's busiest. Waterford not only boasts some of the most beautiful countryside in Ireland, particularly the splendid scenery of West Waterford's mountain passes, but you will also find a spectacular coastline nearby with miles of safe sandy beaches.</span><br />

The city is well known for its ‘Irishness’, and mainly due to the fact that it has on its doorstep the Galway Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking area). The language is visible on the city streets, with bilingual signage on display on shops and road signs, and can be heard by locals around the city. Irish theatre, TV production and Irish music are an integral part of Galway city life, with both An Taibhdhearc, the National Irish Language Theatre, and TG4 headquarters in Galway. This has brought an Irish-speaking young professional population to the city and county, and has generated a renewal of interest in the language and in language-related activities and social events. </span><br />

This region is famed for its rich natural charms, ancient sites of Newgrange and Glendalough, top golfing and world-renowned horseracing. Fascinating and compelling, this region is at the very centre of Ireland’s history. Located in the counties of Louth and Meath is the Boyne Valley.
