Paradise on a package tour
Article Abstract:
It is now possible to spend two weeks in the Gambia at an upmarket hotel for less than 500 pounds sterling. Some people are rather unwilling to take a package holiday of this kind, fearing that they will not gain an insight into what the country is really like and that they will have to stay in a tourist development which is not in sympathy with its surroundings. However, this is not necessarily the case. The Gambia has many attractions, but has had few visitors since the brief military coup in 1994.

Gather round the jacuzzi, girls
Article Abstract:
Health farms tend to focus on offering complete relaxation for the body. They often attract women seeking to escape the pressures of everday life, and have a wide range of facilities and attractions. These include swimming, beauty treatments and talks on various subjects. Women usually enjoy relaxing and chatting together, even if in some cases the health farm's facilities do not quite live up to their expectations.

Cruelty to elderly people: do we care?
Article Abstract:
There is growing concern in the UK about the abuse of elderly people in the home, either by younger members of their own family or by neighbours or friends. Abuse is most frequently carried out by daughters, probably because they feel resentful at having to care for their elderly parent. The collapse of the traditional family unit means that abuse of elderly people is likely to get worse.
