Germany’s Bayreuth Opera House isn’t exactly a household name, but you’ll be hearing more about it and for good
reason. This opulent 18th-century theater has been singled out by UNESCO — and will host events celebrating the
200th birthday of composer Richard Wagner in 2013.
Every summer, UNESCO names new cultural and natural wonders to its World Heritage List for their outstanding
universal value. It’s a way to raise awareness of the preservation of places important to mankind, but also drives
tourism and brings fascinating places to the attention of travelers wondering where to go next. This year’s crop of new
wonders — some obscure, some already famous — spans the globe and suggests the range of human experience and
achievement.
Check out the list of new wonders, but be warned: you may have another dream trip to add to your own list. In
Ecuador for example, there are named these places:
City of Quito
Galápagos Islands
Sangay National Park
Historic Centre of Santa Ana de los Ríos de Cuenca
Qhapaq Ñan, Andean Road System

People used to donate their time on a voluntary basis or as part of a mutual support
among neighbours or friends. Technology has made time banking a reality. Swiss
citizens can save their time and put it in banks to use it later. The Swiss Ministry of
Health created the Time Bank as an old-age assistance programme. People save time
and volunteer to look after the elderly who require help and assistance and the
number of hours they spend caring for others is deposited in their account. When the
volunteer reaches the age when he or she needs help and support.
He or she can take advantage of the "time bank”. He or she will be looked after by a volunteer. A time bank
is used to track the amount of time spent providing the service. This service could include IT services,
babysitting, hairdressing, gardening, construction, nursing, tutoring, or any other time-consuming job.
Other countries have begun to implement this system apart from Switzerland. The UK has adopted the 'time
bank' plan, and Singapore is considering doing likewise.
