8.Restaurants in Miami BeachSteve's Pizza
So many pizza chains compete for the attention of tourists in South Beach,but ask a Miami Beach local where to get the best pizza and they'll tell you about Steve's.This is New York style pizza,handmade with care and good ingredients(成分).New branches of Steve's Pizza are opening elsewhere in Miami,all in non-tourist areas.
Opening hours:11a.m.-10a.m.
Cattleman's Steakhouse
This place is 20 miles east of the city,but local folks would probably drive 200 miles to eat here.The food is good,and the scenery is even better.Come early and wander around the grounds of Indian Cliffs Ranch,where you'll see everything from rabbits to buffalo (水牛),then catch the sunset either before or after your meal.
Opening hours:5p.m.-10p.m.
Absolute Baking & Café
The screen door is always swinging open at this town hot spot with giant breakfasts.Try the green chili on eggs-it's made from scratch,as are the organic(有机的) breads.Lunch includes salads,big sandwiches and local grass-fed beef burgers.Don't miss a square of soft,fresh carrot cake.

6.All of England
In fact,literary landmarks are so common in London that"blue plaques(木牌)"have been introduced to show off well-known literary sites.One of the more interesting plaques can be found at 221B Baker Street-the apartment of famous fictional detective Sherlock Holmes(although we can be pretty sure that he never actually stayed there).
Outside of London,it is possible to take organized tours around the countryside where England best writers grew up.If you join a Charles Dickens or Jane Austen tour,you'll have the unique opportunity to visit the locations of famous fictional scenes.But to truly experience literature in person,you can visit Stratford-upon-Avon,the birthplace of William Shakespeare,and watch nightly performances of his plays.
Shanghai,China
Shanghai is a really charming city,where-underneath the surface of the city-one can find some real literary treasures.One star of Shanghai literature is Lu Xun,a writer often celebrated as the father of modern Chinese literature,who spent his last nine years in the city.It's necessary,then,for all Shanghai literary travelers to visit Lu Xun Park,which features a memorial hall dedicated to the great writer.
Another place worth visiting is the old neighborhood of poet Xu Zhimo.Xu is well known for bringing"New Wave"romanticist poetry into Chinese works.Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore once stayed at his home while visiting Shanghai.
Rome,Italy
The English romantic poet John Keats once traveled to Rome in the hope that the Mediterranean air would cure his tuberculosis(肺结核).It didn't,and Keats died within three months.
Despite the fact that Keats'visit was a quick one,Rome has a reminder of it-the Keats-Shelley House.Keats'former home has been transformed into a small museum,complete with a working library.
What's more,just across the street is the Antico Caffe Greco,a cafe frequented by famous authors like Charles Dickens,Load Byron,Henry James,Hans Christian Andersen,Mary Shelley…We could go on,but you probably get the idea that this is somewhere any literary traveler has to go.

13.Food festivals around the world
Stilton Cheese Rolling
May Day is a traditional day for celebrations,but the 2,000 English villagers of Stilton must be the only people in the world who include these rolling in their annual plans.Teams of four,dressed in a variety of strange and funny clothes,roll a complete cheese along a 50-metre course.On the way,they must not kick or throw their cheese,or go into their competitors'lane(赛道).Competition is fierce and the chief prize is a complete Stilton cheese weighing about four kilos (disappointingly,but understandably the cheeses used in the race are wooden ones).All the
competitors arc served with beer or port wine,the traditional accompaniment for Stilton cheese.
Fiery Foods Festival-The Hottest Festival on Earth
Every year more than 10,000 people head for the city of Albuquerque,New Mexico.They come from as far away as Australia,the Caribbean and China,but they all share a common addiction-food that is not just spicy,but hot enough to make your mouth burn,your head spin and your eyes water.Their destination is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival which is held over a period of three clays every March.You might like to try a chocolate-covered habanero pepper-officially the hottest pepper in the world-or any one of the thousands of products that are on show.But one thing's for sure-if you don't like the feeling of a burning tongue,this festival isn't for you!
La Tomatina-The World's Biggest Food Fight
On the last Wednesday of every August,the Spanish town of Bunol hosts Ea Tomatina-the world's largest food fight.A week-long celebration leads up to an exciting tomato battle as the highlight of the week's events.The early morning sees the arrival of large trucks with tomatoes-official fight-starters get things going by casting tomatoes at the crowd.
The battle lasts little more than half an hour,in which time around 50,000 kilograms of tomatoes have been thrown at anyone or anything that moves,runs,or fights back.Then everyone heads down to the river to make friends again-and for a much-needed wash!
Melbourne Food and Wine Festival
Australia's cultural capital has hosted this 20 years,a showcase of the continent's culinary(烹调用的)mastery through cooking demonstrations,special tours and food tastings throughout the city.Meet celebrity chefs and artisan food crafters,go to gals dinners and discover Down Under's most fantastic flavors
