Germans hope to travel to Mallorca as island comes off high-risk list 16.03.21

Germany’s foreign ministry announced that Mallorca is no longer considered a high risk area along with other parts of Spain, Portugal and Denmark. Mallorca is one of the most visited holiday destinations by the German and it's even called Germany’s 17th state. Due to removal of restrictions a lot of German tourists decided to go to Mallorca for Easter holidays. But Mallorca's residents are worried that travelers will bring the virus back to the island, so there are many new rules and restrictions that tourists must obey during their holidays. 

I think that the German should limit their travels to as little as possible. I know that everyone (including me) miss traveling all around the world and travels are one of the few ways to get away from this bleak and sad reality. But during travel we can very easily get infected for example at the airport, in a hotel or during sightseeing. So the only way to stop the spread of the virus is just sitting at home.

My reflection 01.11.21

 A few days ago while I was on my way to school I listened to a very interesting radio broadcast. It was about a new law which the European Union wants to bring into existence. The UE wants to ban short-distance flights. By that they mean flights of less than 500 kilometres. The exception are the distances that cannot be covered by any other means of transport in less than 2.5 hours.  In my opinion that's a good idea because thanks to that we can cut back on  carbon dioxide emission  significantly. However  I don't think that it would work in Poland correctly as we don't have a rail network designed for high speeds. So, for example it would be impossible to travel from Warsaw to Szczecin by train in less than 2.5 hours. Of course in other countries  that have better developed infrastructure bringing this idea into force would be great and maybe it could help save the environment even in a modest way.

Reasons of emigration

Migration has existed since forever. Everything started when tribes searched for new places for hunting, fishery and their livestock. They also migrated  in search of more fertile lands and to create new settlements. But time has changed, the world got more developed and at the same time more complicated. People emigrate for many more reasons than a few centuries ago. The most important and common one is that they are looking for better opportunities. Many people move to bigger cities because they know that there are more workplaces. the second motive is to escape conflict zones. People leave their homeland because they don't feel safe there and they want to escape danger. Another reason is to escape poverty and find higher standards of living. Emigrants try to earn more money abroad and live in better conditions than before. Some people change their place just for fun. They are young and free, they don't have any purpose in life yet so they are looking for some experience and...

Ellis Island

Ellis Island is an island on Huston River between New York and New Jersey. This place took a huge part in history of NYC. It was opened in 1892 as an immigration station. It served for about 60 years and was officially closed in 1954.  In XIX century a lot of Europeans decided to move to America to find better life conditions. They all hoped for better life in the New World. Most of them came to New York because it was the closest American city to Europe. Also there is a huge harbor so they could get there in easier way than for example to Los Angeles.  The statistics show that  about 40 percent of all current U.S. citizens can trace at least one of their ancestors to Ellis Island. For millions of immigrants, Ellis Island  was the first place they set foot on after a long journey by ship from Europe. In XIX century the average daily number of immigrants who arrived there is 1,900.  After their arrival they had to stand in long lines ...
