    Hi, …
    I often visit your site. It’s fantastic. I really enjoye and i learn a lot of things when i read it. It’s one of the best site that i’ve ever seen. It’s like a college with a wide variety of lessons, thinks, experience, etc.
    In fact, your site is thinking worth for somebody who figure out it.
    Wish you luck!

    Excuse me, I should write “worth thinking” instead of “thinking worth” that it means, it has worth to think.
    Anyway, you’r welcome.

    Hi,

    It seems that diversity has become a main argument in Tourism, due to themes of 09 and 10, the biodiversity, which ranges from various species to terrestrial ecoregions says so, expanded from the diversity of 09, and how tourism can rely on is, indeed, a matter of significance.
    Challenging eco tourism would be delightful especially to you and your colleagues who are intending to go on a trip to Ramsar; therefore, have a good trip and enjoy that ( since I am not one of you, a tour leader I mean, I can not be among you but desire so much to experience new enviroments, cultures, and so on, which is obtained by travelling in your website.) so thank YOU for sharing them to us, although I think you do not do that just for our sake, but mostly your own sake, by giving yourself an opportunity to say anthing you intend but not having a chance or time to say to your friends.
    …………………………………………………………………………
    My Answer: Hi. Thank you for very nice comment. If you want to come with us to RAMSAR, you can. As i told you before i want to talk with you, please call me up.

    Hi,

    Thanks for welcoming me. I know that I should not accept it, as I am not a tour leader, as may cause a deserved person loses his chance, although deep in my heart that’s what I want.
    Probably I come to the next association meeting will be held this Tuseday, since Literature and Tourism, both, are my favourites. Hope see you there, too.
    …………………………………………………………………………………..
    MY answer: Hope to see you.

    Hi,

    It seems that I have been misinformed as I heard the session talked about, on litrature and tourism, was held last week and on this Tuseday you are going to work on the trip you had to Khuzistan, so that if it causes no inconvenience, I would rather attend.
    ………………………………………………………………………………………..
    My Answer: Again, hope to see you
