A

It'll be Easter soon, and time to think of how to spend a few days' holiday. Let's look at three of the best.

Budapest

Budapest is the capital of Hungary. It's actually made up of the twin cities of Buda and Pest, which are separated by the mighty River Danube. The city is famous for its cafes. There are several good ones to choose from, but you must try either G erbeaud, or the famous New York Cafe. Order a “somloi galuska", a very rich chocolate dessert. Finally, you can' t leave the city without visiting one of its amazing Turkish baths. Some of them date back to the 16th century.

Bucharest

A fourteen hours train ride east will take you through Transylvania to Bucharest, capital of Romania. Once there, you should visit Mamie's Inn, which is a 19th century caravanserai (an inn built around a large courtyard, which is big enough for caravans). It's located in the Lipscani district (the heart of the city), and it's also a great place to have lunch and a drink.

Sofia

From Bucharest it's only 300 kilometres to Sofia, the Bulgarian capital. The city sits below the massive Vitosha Mountain. Sofia is an ancient place, and parts of the city walls date back to the 7th century BC and can still be seen. It' s also a holy city, and two of its major tourist attractions are churches. The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is well worth a visit, but you should find time for the Boyana Church, a small medieval Bulgarian Orthodox chapel. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site and has incredible wall paintings dating back to 1259.

So, we hope we've given you a few ideas of places to spend your Easter. Wherever you go, have fun and send us

a postcard!

A junior at Loyola High School in Los Angeles, Adam Faze, 16, decided in October to organize a film festival. “I want to go to film school and work in the industry, but Loyola has nothing like that, which is strange because we're right here in LA (a part of the city is Hollywood where films are made),” he said. “So instead of sitting around and feeling unhappy, I decided to do something.”

The school was unenthusiastic. “Every year, students approach me with m any projects that are really difficult to carry out,” said Lance Ochsner, Adam's adviser. “I thought it wouldn't happen, but I gave him the go-ahead anyway.”

Adam sent letters and made cold calls, and got no response. By January, he had little more than a single
