International Men's Day is held on November 19th every year.To mark this day,we have chosen a number of macho(男子气概的)holidays suitable for men who want to be men and do manly things.
1.For the hunter
A trip to 7th Rise in Cornwall,England,offers the most exciting experience.A stay in the traditional Cornish farmhouse on the bank of the River Fal is filled with activities that will put hairs on your chest.The price is £275 per person for two nights,including all activities and food.
2.For the whisky(威士忌) experts
The southernmost island of the Inner Hebrides,Islay is home to whisky factories,including its most famous Laphroaig,known for its strong taste.Visiting the island is more about whisky tours,of which the Laphroaig tour is a must;there are also plenty of opportunities for birdwatching,fishing and playing golf.
3.For the wellread
A new hotel in Tokyo,known as an“accommodation(住宿) bookshop”,has opened.Book and Bed offers beds hidden behind library shelves filled with 1,700 books in Japanese and English.You can be sure to see plenty of rich furniture and wonderful books.
4.For the lone wolf
Find loneliness in the wildest reaches of Britain,beyond valleys and across mountains,and then after a long,soulsearching hike,settle down for the night in a simple shelter known as a bothy(茅屋).There are more than 100 across the UK,most in Scotland.They are actually stone “tents” with no promise of running water,electricity,or beds,but they can offer shelter,and are free to use.
