Page 1 of 10 My Reviews![]() Nice, Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, France ![]() Added May 25, 2011 Baie Des Anges (Bay of Angels) is a bay that extends from the Mediterranean city of Nice, the Promenade des Anglais ( wharf and the U.S. which extends to the east) in Cap d' Antibes . It borders the towns of Nice, St - Laurent - du- Var, Cagnes -sur - Mer Villeneuve - Loubet and Antibes . ![]() Prague, Central Bohemia Region, Czech Republic ![]() Added May 25, 2011 Being Prague's heart since the 10th century and its main market place until the beginning of the 20th century, the spacious 1.7 hectare Old Town Square has been the scene of great events, both glorious and tragic. There are beautiful pastel-coloured buildings of Romanesque or Gothic origin with fascinating house signs. Some of the most prominent examples include the Kinský Palace, the House of the Stone Bell and the Štorch House. Today, the Old Town Square offers visitors a tourist information office, number of restaurants, cafés, shops and galleries. Ref.: old-town.asp-http://www.prague.cz/prague-old-town.asp ![]() Jakarta, Java, Indonesia ![]() Added May 25, 2011 Jakarta formerly Batavia and officially the Special Capital Territory of Jakarta), is the capital and largest city of Indonesia. Located on the northwest coast of Java, it has an area of 661 square kilometres (255 sq mi) and a 2010 census count population of 9,580,000. Jakarta is the country's economic, cultural and political center. It is the most populous city in Indonesia and in Southeast Asia, and is the tenth-largest city in the world. The urban area, Jabodetabek, is the second largest in the world. Jakarta is listed as a global city in the 2008 Globalization and World Cities Study Group and Network (GaWC) research. The city's name is derived from the Old Javanese word "Jayakarta" which translates as "victorious deed", "complete act", or "complete victory". Ref.: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jakarta ![]() Shanghai, Shanghai Province, China ![]() Added May 25, 2011 Yuyuan Garden is a famous classical garden located in Anren Jie, Shanghai. The garden was finished in 1577 by a government officer of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) named Pan Yunduan. Yu in Chinese means pleasing and satisfying, and this garden was specially built for Pan's parents as a place for them to enjoy a tranquil and happy time in their old age. In the 400 years of its existence, Yuyuan Garden had undergone many changes. During the late Ming Dynasty, it became very dilapidated with the decline of Pan's family. In 1760, some rich merchants bought Yuyuan Garden and spent more than 20 years reconstructing the buildings. During the Opium War of the 19th century, Yuyuan Garden was severely damaged. The Yuyuan Garden you see today is the result of a five year restoration project which began in 1956. The garden was open to the public in September, 1961. ![]() Ayuthaya, Central Thailand, Thailand ![]() Added May 24, 2011 Ayutthaya was the capital of the kingdom of Thailand for many centuries between 1350 and 1767. In its heyday, Thai culture and commerce flourished, and lots of foreign merchants resided in the capital, including Dutch, Portuguese, French, English, Japanese etc. Foreign visitors were most impressed by its splendour. The Burmese invaded Ayutthaya and the capital fell in 1767. Most of the city's temples and religious sculptures were destroyed. However, proud monuments to its glory are still standing, some restored. Ayutthaya is located about 90 kilometers from Bangkok, and could be visited on an extended daytrip. However, if you are interested in Thai history and ancient monuments, an overnight stay with about two full days of sightseeing is recommended. Ref.: http://www.thaitravel.info/Ayuthaya/ ![]() Dresden, Saxony Region, Germany ![]() Added May 24, 2011 Not only one of the most beautiful opera houses in the world, the Semperoper is renowned both here and abroad for the brilliant star-studded performances by Saxon State Opera as well as numerous international guest artists. This is the home of the Staatskapelle Dresden, an orchestra which looks back on 460 years of uninterrupted music-making. The State Opera Chorus was founded by Carl Maria von Weber in 1817. Operatic history has been written here, with the Semperoper playing host to numerous important premieres, such as Richard Wagner’s »Rienzi«, »Der fliegende Holländer« and »Tannhäuser «. The house is inextricably linked to the name of Richard Strauss, 21 of whose stage works were premiered in Dresden, including »Salome«, »Der Rosenkavalier« and »Elektra«. Over the centuries the Semperoper has sought to balance tradition with innovation, with each successive general manager placing their own personal stamp on this fascinating blend of old and new. Now Dr. Ulrike Hessler, general manager of the Semperoper Dresden since the 2010/11 season, has introduced a fourth programme of events for children and young people to complement the traditional focus on opera, concerts and ballet: Semperoper Junge Szene.
