Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject Cultural Studies - European Studies, grade: 1,3, University of Heidelberg (Institut für Übersetzen und Dolmetschen), course: Übersetzen als kulturwissenschaftliches Handeln, language: English, abstract: In hindsight, a day spent at a beautiful beach might become one of the most wonderful memories of one's life. Endless stretches of white sand, turquoise water, a cloudless sky, a light breeze - all this in a resort overlooking a bay filled with colorful fish and the occasional dolphin, inviting the beach visitors to go swimming, sailing and surfing. Sounds like a perfect day spent at a perfect place, for example at the American West coast, Hawaii, Florida, or simply heaven on earth. Of course, the American East coast has beautiful places to offer as well. A trip to the beaches in Massachusetts, for example, might feel like visiting a faraway fairytale land, set against a bright blue ocean. And in New Jersey, one might find it useful to bring binoculars in order not to miss dolphins playing at the horizon. But then again, there is one component powerful enough to ruin this perfect day at the beach. The weather. Especially at the East coast the weather conditions can be frustrating for even the most cheerful tourists. Thanks to harsh winters in New England, the Eastern United States have become synonymous with "snowmaggedon" or "snowpocalypse". But even during the summer the weather might wear one down sometimes, considering precipitation rates and high wind strength. Nevertheless, people are eager to spend their days at the beaches because even with challenging weather conditions, the beaches are just too beautiful to miss.
