One of the most popular uses of a flag is to symbolize a nation or country. Some national flags have been particularly inspirational to other nations, countries, or subnational entities in the design of their own flags. Some prominent examples include: The flag of Denmark is the oldest state flag Dannebrog, inspired the cross design of the other Nordic countries: Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, and regional Scandinavian flags for the Faroe Islands, Åland, Scania and Bornholm, as well as flags for the non-Scandinavian Shetland and Orkney. The Union flag (Union Jack) of the United Kingdom is the most commonly used. British colonies typically flew a flag based on one of the ensigns based on this flag, and many former colonies have retained the design to acknowledge their cultural history. Examples: Australia, Fiji, New Zealand, Tuvalu, and also the Canadian provinces of Manitoba, Ontario and British Columbia, and the American state of Hawaii. The Tricolour of The Netherlands is the oldest tricolor, first appearing in 1572 as the Prince’s flag in orange–white–blue. Soon the more famous red–white–blue began appearing — it is however unknown why, though many stories are known. After 1630 the red–white–blue was the most commonly seen flag. The Dutch Tricolor has inspired many flags but most notably those of Russia, India, New York City, South Africa (the 1928-94 flag), and France, which spread the tricolor concept even further. The flag of the Netherlands is also the only flag in the world that is adapted for some uses, when the occasion has a connection to the royal house of the Netherlands an orange ribbon is added. The national flag of FranceTricolore was designed in 1794. As a forerunner of revolution, France’s tricolour flag style has been adopted by other nations. Exampless: Italy, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ireland, Haiti, Romania, Mexico. The flag of the United States, also nicknamed The Stars and Stripes or Old Glory. In the same way that nations looked to France for inspiration, many countries were also inspired by the American Revolution, which they felt was symbolized in this flag. Examples: Liberia, Chile, Malaysia, Uruguay, and the French region of Brittany. The flag of Russia, the source for the Pan-Slavic colors adopted by many Slavic states and peoples as their symbols. Examples: Slovakia, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, and Bulgaria (with green replacing blue). The original tricolor flag of Iran, the source for the Pan-Iranian colors Green, White and Red adopted by many Indo-Iranian or Aryan states and peoples as their symbols. Examples: Tajikistan, Kurdistan, Republic of Ararat, Talysh-Mughan. Some of Iran’s non-Iranian neighboring countries also adopted these colors see Kuwait and Oman. Ethiopia was seen as a model by emerging African states of the 1950s and 1960s, as it was one of the oldest independent states in Africa. Accordingly, its flag became the source of the Pan-African colors, or “Rasta colors” to the ill-informed. Examples: Togo, Senegal, Ghana, Mali. The flag of Turkey, which was the flag of the Ottoman Empire, has been an inspiration for the flag designs of many other Muslim nations. During the time of the Ottomans the crescent began to be associated with Islam and this is reflected on the flags of Algeria, Azerbaijan, Comoros, Malaysia, Mauritania, Pakistan and of Tunisia. The Pan-Arab colors, green, white, red and black, are derived from the flag of the Great Arab Revolt as seen on the flags of Jordan, Kuwait, Sudan, Syria, the United Arab Emirates, Western Sahara, Egypt, Iraq, Yemen and Palestine. The Soviet flag, with its golden symbols of the hammer and sickle on a red field, was an inspiration to flags of other communist states, such as East Germany, People’s Republic of China, Vietnam, Angola, Afghanistan and Mozambique. The flag of Venezuela, created by Francisco de Miranda to represent the independence movement in Venezuela that later gave birth to the “Gran Colombia”, inspired the individual flags of Colombia and Ecuador, both sharing three bands of color and three of them (Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela) sharing the yellow, blue and red. The flag of Argentina, created by Manuel Belgrano during the war of independence, was the inspiration for the United Provinces of Central America’s flag, which in turn was the origin for the flags of Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, and Nicaragua. National flag designs are often used to signify nationality in other forms, such as flag patches. [Flagslist. com]

Surfing has become a legitimate sport and advocates have placed their bids to include the wonderful water sport in the Olympics. Professional surfers throughout the world have been making a good living from the sport as it has had a big following. There are hundreds of professional competitions held in a year and clothing companies have also made a lot of money from surfing apparel. Perhaps the biggest obstacle on why surfing is not as widespread a sport as it should be is fact that it proves difficult for some to find “surfable” waves. Unless one lives in Australia, Hawaii, or other places where the waves are always huge, then people would need to travel to these places just to be able to try the sport. There are also different sizes of waves which means that one would need to go to a specific beach depending on his skill level. Below is a list of some of the best surf spots in the world reserved only for the wave lovers out there. Australia Some argue that Australia is the surfing capital of the world. This may actually hold true because of the fact that there are dozens of surfing beaches in this country that would suit all types of surfers. However, the pick of the bunch has to be Gold Coast beach. Located in the country’s sixth most populated city of Gold Coast, this shore boasts of 70 kilometres of beach which includes four point breaks. Although quite pricey, this beach is a must for surfers who want to experience the real thing. Asia There are a lot of wonderful surf spots in the countries of Asia including a number of beaches in Thailand and in the Philippines. However, some experts say that the best surfing beaches are in Indonesia. Lying on the western side of Sumatra, the Mentawi Islands possesses some of the most consistent waves in the world. The best waves come in during the months of June to September so that would be the best time to come to catch the tallest waves. Another famous spot in Indonesia are the beaches of Bali. The city packs the most tourists for the country, and for good reason. Aside from the rich culture of the place, the surf is excellent as well. Although the beaches may get a bit crowded during peak season, it is still a worthwhile journey as waves may rise to as high as 12 feet. The Americas For people looking to surf in North America, there is no better place to go other than California in the United States. The best beaches include Malibu and Steamer Lane while novice surfers are sure to enjoy in Half Moon Bay or Santa Cruz. South America also has some of the best surfs in the world and few are up to par with those in Santa Catarina in Brazil. Locals say that this place is proud to have the best waves that Brazil has to offer. Other places in the Americas that are worth visiting for their amazing waves are Sunzal and La Libertad in El Salvador, and Playa Naranjo in Costarica.
