It’s February. Perhaps you are off to New Zealand—or Sweden, or Canada. What in the world will you do there? Why not take in a Garden City Festival of Flowers in Auckland—or a Star Trek convention in Stockholm or a Woodstock-themed photography exhibition in Edmonton? Or, if you prefer, visit World Wide Events, wwevents.com, where you will find a comprehensive calendar of international events. The easy-to-navigate site—which covers “38 countries, 51 U.S. states and 40 English counties”—offers event information for “Australasia,” North America and Europe as well as Brazil, Japan, South Africa, Israel and Russia. Subheadings lead to information on shopping, leisure activities, education, business and travel in each region. Should you wish to call a foreign venue to purchase tickets or make inquiries, use wwevents’s handy “local time” display in the upper right corner of each page—a great way to avoid waking the Swedish “trekkie” or getting the answering machine at the Canadian Tourist Office.
