Spring and fall are tourist low seasons in BA and are the best times to visit. Hot summer nights, however, make for a wonderful experience. There are year-round festivals celebrating everything from fashion to dance to wine, though springtime sees the lion's share of these events. If you're here during winter, nights can drop to bone-chilling cold, so bring a warm jacket.By International Living
On Jan. 7, 2002, Argentine President Eduardo Duhalde announced default on the country's $141 billion debt and ended the peso's peg to the U.S. dollar. It was pure desperation. Thirteen people were killed a week earlier as Argentines rioted in protest of government restrictions on bank withdrawals. Unemployment rose to 20%. The economy contracted 11%. Prices on real estate fell by 30% to 70%, creating some of the best bargains in the world.

INTERACTIVE_EXCURSION_-_The_Majestic_Saint_Petersburg_Russia_-_BEAUTIFULL_CITY_-

http://www.healthvacations.ca Medical Tourism and Outsourcing in Beautiful Saint Petersburg, Russia FULL MOVIE - INTERACTIVE EXCURSION Probably the most familiar symbol of St Petersburg is the equestrian statue of Peter the Great, installed in 1782 on the Senate Square. Considered the greatest masterpiece of the French-born Etienne Maurice Falconet, the statue figures prominently in the Russian literature under the name of the Bronze Horseman. The Palace Square is dominated by the unique Alexander Column (1830–1834), the tallest of its kind in the world and so nicely set that no attachment to the base is needed. A striking monument to Generalissimo Suvorov, represented as a youthful god of war, was erected in 1801 on the Field of Mars, formerly used for military parades and popular festivities. Saint Isaac's Square is graced by the Monument to Nicholas I (1856–1859), which was spared by Bolshevik authorities from destruction as the first equestrian statue in the world with merely two support points (the rear feet of the horse). The public monuments of St Petersburg also include Mikeshin's circular statue of Catherine II on the Nevsky Avenue, fine horse statues on the Anichkov Bridge, a Rodin-like equestrian statue of Alexander III by Paolo Troubetzkoy, and the Tercentenary monument presented by France in 2003 and installed on the Sennaya Square. Some of the most important events in the city's history are represented by particular monuments. The Russian victory over Napoleon, for example, was commemorated by the Narva Triumphal Gate (1827–1834), and the victory in the Russo-Turkish War, 1828-1829 — by the Moscow Triumphal Gates (1834–1838). Following this tradition, the Piskarevskoye Cemetery was opened in 1960 as a monument to the victims of the 900-Day Siege.

A short tour through the Alhambra of Granada

When the Muslims arrived in Spain in the 8th century, they settled mainly in the south of the country. As a result, Andalusia, Al- Andalus, became one of the most beautiful kingdoms of the Middle Ages, with great walled cities, fortresses and dream castles full of gardens, fountains and beautiful animals. In the midst of all this beautiful landscape, the Alhambra, the red castle of Granada, became one of the most suggestive and representative constructions of the Muslim splendour of those times.

The world-famous Cathedral of Chartres which Rodin called the Acropolis of France, is a remarkable testament to medieval architecture. Must sees include the sculpture, the 12' and 13' century stained glass and the amazing collection of ancient musical instruments. The Old Town of medieval cobbled streets, gabled houses and charming footbridges lies at the foot of the cathedral. Places of interest to visit nearby: the castles of Anet and Maintenon.

It is located east of Tel Aviv, south of Ramallah, west of Jericho and north of Bethlehem. Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, although this designation and Israel's annexation of the eastern portion of the city are matters of international dispute.
