looking for culture, or simply want to have their photos taken in front of famous places. But most Europeans
are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of inconveniences for the sun because they have so
little of it. Residents of cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the
dark because the days are so short and much of the rest of the year is in the rain. Every summer, more than
25 million people travel to Mediterranean (地中海) resorts and beaches for their vacation. They all come for
the same reason: sun.
The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries. Italy"s 30,000 hotels
are booked every summer. And 13 million people camp out on French Beaches, parks, and roadsides. Spain"s
long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else. 37 million tourists visit yearly, or one tourist
for every person living in Spain.
But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can handle. The Mediterranean is already
one of the most polluted seas on earth. And with increased tourism, it"s getting worse. The French can"t figure
out what to do with all the garbage left by campers around St. Tropez. And in many places, swimming is
dangerous because of pollution.
None of this, however, is damaging anyone"s fun. The Mediterranean gets more popular every year with
tourists. Obviously, they don"t go there for clean water. They stand traffic jams and seem to like crowded
beaches. They don"t even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, it"s still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or Oslo.

location in order to have fun and engage in conversation, it can be considered a party. Parties usually have
different drinks and food choices, and music is a large part of the event, very often.
Birthday parties are held in honor of an individual who is having a birthday, and presents and gifts are
usually brought by attendees (出席者).The song "Happy Birthday to You" is very often sung by partygoers
for the person who is having a birthday.
There are different kinds of Birthday parties. Adults may have birthday parties in restaurants or nightclubs, while children usually have parties at home or at funhouses. Sometimes children may have parties at water
parks or amusement parks, as well.
Birthday parties may also happen in the manner of a surprise party, where the person having a birthday is
not told about the birthday preparations. Surprise parties include guests hiding in a location where the party is
to take place, then shouting"surprise!" when the guest of honor enters.
Sporting event parties usually take place around a specific sports happening, such as the Super Bowl, the
World Cup or the World Series. People gather and eat, drink, and laugh as they talk about the happenings of
the games within that sporting event. These types of parties are very lively and usually loud.
Nightly socialization parties include house parties and dance parties. House parties sometimes are held by
teenagers and young adults of college age in a set location; private houses are often the location of choice.

have a good time. Usually people at these parities will be of younger ages between 18-28.
