  DWAYNE JOHNSON 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
    
  CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
    
  Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is a multifaceted American entertainer, born May 2, 1972, who has achieved success as an actor, professional wrestler, and businessman. He initially gained fame in the WWE, where he was known for his charisma and catchphrases. Johnson debuted as Rocky Maivia, a name he was reluctant to use. He was a reluctant hero and after fan backlash, he turned heel, joining the Nation of Domination. His wrestling career included multiple championships and main event appearances, including a notable rivalry with Stone Cold Steve Austin. Transitioning to acting, he became one of Hollywood's highest-paid and most successful actors. He is also a successful businessman with ventures such as Teremana Tequila. The Rock has continued to make part-time returns to the WWE, most recently as "The Final Boss". 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  Dwayne Johnson, also known as The Rock, was initially reluctant to use the ring name "Rocky Maivia," which combined his father's and grandfather's names, but was convinced by Vince McMahon and Jim Ross. He was also nicknamed "The Blue Chipper" and promoted as the WWF's first third-generation wrestler. 
    
  Although he is of both Black Nova Scotian and Samoan heritage, Johnson identifies as both equally and is proud of both. His father, Rocky Johnson, was a Black Nova Scotian with some Irish ancestry, and his mother is Samoan. 
    
  Johnson's maternal grandmother, Lia Maivia, was one of the first female pro wrestling promoters, taking over Polynesian Pacific Pro Wrestling after her husband's death and managing it until 1988. She ran the promotion from 1982 to 1988.

  Spanish for travelers - easy...

  The goal of this book is to provide essential Spanish Travel Phrases every traveler needs to know, and some basic Spanish grammar rules. It is useful to learn Spanish phrases which can be useful in different situations as you travel. 
  The travel bug, once caught, is hard to get out of our system. But deep down we know that we don't understand the locals well - or maybe not at all. Could it be important to be able to converse with those in authority? English, at best, is a second language in those parts of the world, spoken by a few. Group travel is fine, but to rely on the group leader to always be at hand to explain restricts one's freedom.  It feels great to be independent! 
  Learning Spanish can help you communicate with locals. It is especially important to be able to speak Spanish if you plan a trip to a Spanish speaking country. You will find that natives will respect you more if you at least appear to be trying to learn and speak their language. Even though most Spanish speaking people can speak English (even a little), you may come across several who have no English skills at all. This is a key reason for learning how to speak Spanish. It will go a long way toward making your trip more enjoyable. 
  Spanish is native to Spain of course; but the Spanish explorers travelled around. So, you can be sure that South America, Central America, Mexico, the Caribbean and even the Philippines are all quite proficient in this lovely language. Spanish is an easy language to learn, thanks to its consistency of vowel sounds and relatively simple syntax. There are no tonal elements as exist in the Asian languages - another big plus for Spanish learners.

  Don't think that because it is such a small country with only about 17 million people, it should be neglected. The Netherlands has a long history, with a high influence on our cultures, trading routes, the stock market, business, and art. 
  The Dutch were all over the world. They "owned" and colonized a big portion of what was then the known world. They were among the first settlers, had the biggest haven and biggest fleet for some time. The Dutch East-Indian Trading Company, or VOC, is probably the biggest or at least one of the biggest companies that has ever existed, with its shareholders, its ships, its spices and trading routes, and so much more. Learn more about what happened in the same area that's currently the United States, South Africa, Indonesia, and so many areas across the world. 
  In this book, we will begin with the Dutch settlers on the east coast of the United States, their settlements in Indonesia and other Asian countries, and their vast group of colonists in South Africa.
