yCIrx

In our weekly "test," single people who are looking for a partner
ask their mother and their best friend to help. The mother
chooses one partner and the best friend chooses another.
The test is to see who can choose the best partner!
This week's single man is Richard Taylor, a 26-year-old
musician from Vancouver, Canada. His mother, Meg, chooses

one woman, and his best friend, Danny, chooses another. Then
Richard goes on a date with each woman. \Alhich woman does
he prefer? \I,Iho knows him better, his mother or his best
friend? Who chooses the right woman for him?

Last week we asked you to tell us about a vacation when the destination was perfect
but, for some reason, the time wasn't right... Here are some of your replies.

Tim,2O, student
from San Antonio, Texas
When lwas a teenager, I went on
vacation with my parents to the
Culf Coast in Texas. My parents
rented a fabulous house on the
beach, and the weather was great.
But I was 17, and I didn't want to
be on vacation with my mom and
dad and my little brother. lwanted
to be with my friends. We went to
the beach every day and sunbathed,
and we went to a fantastic seafood
restaurant for my birthday. But I was
miserable and hated every minute

of it. I didn't smile once in hruo
weeks. What really made me furious
was that my parents let my older
sister, who was 19, go to Mexico
with her friends.

E

Gabriela, 28, marketing managel
frorn Rome, Italy
l'm from Rome, and the summer here is
really hot. So last year my husband and I
decided to go to Sweden, to escape from
the heat. We booked a 1O-day vacation in
Stockholm, where the temperature in the
summer is normally about 20 degrees
centigrade. But when we got to
Stockholm, there was a heat wave,
and it was 35oC every day. lt was awful
because there was no air-conditioning
anywhere. We couldn't sleep at night it was boiling in the hotel, and in the
stores and museums, too. We didn't
want to go shopping or go sightseeing or
do anything. We were too hot. We just
sat in cafes and argued all day. We didn't
need to go to Sweden to do that!

Three years ago I broke up with my

boyfriend, and I decided to go on vacation
by myself to the Seychelles. My travel agent
told me that it was a wonderful place. But
he didn't tell me it was also a very popular
place for people on their honeymoon.
Everywhere I looked, I saw couples holding
hands and looking romantically into each
other's eyes! The travel agent also said it was
always sunny there - but the weather was
terrible - it was cloudy and windy. To pass
the time, I decided to take a diving course
(one of my lifetime ambitions). But it was a
complete disaster because the first time
I went under the water, I had a panic attack.
I couldn't escape from the island, so I spent
an incredibly boring (and expensive) two
weeks in "paradisel'
