Reliving The Swinging Sixties


NASA Space Center

Its ironic that a defining moment of the 60's occurred at a place that million's of miles away from earth;the moon. Why we cant' relive Niel Armstrong's experienced ,we can appreciate Kennedy Space Center's attractions such as a shuttle launch and an astronaut encounter.The Kennedy Space Center in Florida recently opened a new exhibit at the Apollo/Saturn V center to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the first moon landing. Coincidentally, this occurred less than a month before Woodstock.

World's top Culture destination



Singapore; culture destination




If China is considered as the premier old-school culture destination,Singapore is its new -school counterpart.Its history is not as diverse as the others on this list, but you'd be hard pressed to find a country that attracts local and foreigners with a wide array of cultural gatherings, art exhibits,sporting events,and entertainment spectacles that seem to occur every week. Singapore is also one of the few countries in the world that can boast of infusing the influences of the East and the West and turning it into its own unique everyday culture.

China town

Tienanmen Square of China

It can be argued that a good portion of the world has been influenced in some way, shape or form by China. There's no another place in this world that's richer in history and culture than China. While traveling the whole of China could be a tantamount to financial suicide, if there's one place you may want to go to,Its Beijing. If visiting World-famous landmarks like the Great Wall of China or Tienanmen Square isn't enough to tickle your fancy,then we suggest you visit and take time to appreciate a culture that was formed thousands of years before any of us even existed.

Amsterdam,Keukenhof Gardens

A spring trip to Amsterdam and the Netherlands is not complete without a visit to the Dutch countryside to see the tulip fields in bloom. Touring Keukenhof Gardens, the worlds' largest tulip gardens, is a wonderful shore excursion, but we were amazed at the amazing cultivated gardens throughout the country. During a trip to the Netherlands in mid-April, we saw tulip fields in Noord Holland, Zuid Holland, and Friesland. In addition, there were some beautiful tulip fields next to Keukenhof Gardens, near the large windmill.

Sicily,Taormina

A small town on the island of Sicily in Italy,in the Province of Messina. In ancient times was a Greek colony (Greek ÔáõñïìÝíéïí Tauromenion), dating from about 400 BC, which submitted to Roman authority in 212 BC during the Second Punic War. Taormina has been a very popular tourist destination since the 19th century. It has beautiful beaches (accessible via an aerial tramway) on the Ionian sea, which is remarkably warm and has a high salt content.

Just south of Taormina is the Isola Bella, a stunning nature reserve. Tours of the Capo Sant' Andrea grottos are also available. Taormina is built on an extremely hilly coast, and is approximately a forty-five minute drive away from Europe's largest active volcano, Mount Etna.

The remains of the teatro greco, the "Greek theatre", are not actually Greek, as the theatre was rebuilt by the Romans in the 2nd century BC on the site of the original theatre. With a diameter of 109 metres (after an expansion in the 2nd century), this theatre is the second largest of its kind in Sicily; it is frequently used for operatic and theatrical performances and for concerts.

During the early 20th century the town became a colony of expatriate artists, writers, and intellectuals. The David di Donatello Taormina Film Festival has been held for over fifty years, with international film stars viewing films on a screen erected in the Greek theatre.(from Wikipedia Lexikon)

Jerusalem,Israel

"Jerusalem",in ancient language,translates to the "city of peace"-slightly ironic if you think about all the disputes and unrest that it has gone through for thousands of years and continue to do so today.These aside, Jerusalem is an amazing tourists destination filled attractions from a variety of cultures and religions (its' a holy city for three different religions-Judaism, Christianity, and Islam).At the heart of Jerusalem is the old city, a 09-square kilometer walled area divided into four quarters to house the Jewish, Armenian,Christian,and Muslim holy sites.The Christian quarter alone houses about 40 holy places,one of which is the church of the Sepulcher,a site venerated by many Christians nad the site of the death and resurrection of Jesus.
Gaziantep,Turkey
Rich in culture and history,Gaziantep is one of Turkey's commercial centers.What was once a small,sleepy town famous for its pistachio nuts soon became a modern city filled with high rise apartments and buildings.At the heart of the Gaziantep,is an ancient Kale (Citadel),which dates back some 9,000 years.But aside from that everything else fairly new.Gaziantep is a perfect spot for history lovers and aficionados.Ruins that belong to the stonr age, Calcohilitic, Copper Age, Hittite, Mitani Assyrian, Roman and Byzantine and Islam Turkish periods are scattered across the area.Some important artifacts from Neolithic.Hittite, and Roman times are housed in the Archeological Museum.
