Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Paris is a city for the senses. Not only has it captured the imaginations of romantics the world over, it is a city of art and culture. Tourists flock to this city on the Seine to partake of a life rich in all the things Paris represents. Whether sitting in a cafe or floating down the Seine, Paris is an adventure that few can forget.
There are so many things to see and do while visiting Paris, yet these top ten items surely reflect the best of what is surely a city full of riches.
One – Arc de Triomphe
Located on the most famous street in Paris, the Champs-Elysees, the Arc de Triomphe was built by Napoleon in 1806 in honor of his victories in war. The largest arch in the world, the Arc de Triomphe has been the location of solemn occasions, both of French state funerals and, most notably, when the Germans took Paris in World War II. Yet, like Napoleon, it was also the spot where victories reign, and the French marched victoriously beneath the arch after having been liberated at the end of World War II. This is also the site for France’s Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
Two – Basilica du Sacre-Coeur
Built as a tribute to the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, the cathedral was constructed between 1987-1914 from a design by Paul Abadie. Its luminous white façade, huge dome of more than 200 feet, and Byzantine style make it an unusual church, even for Paris. So elaborate is its gingerbread façade that it looks like it belongs in a patisserie. With one of the world’s largest mosaics inside and a stunning hilltop location overlooking the city, it’s a marvel to see.

Yet it now seems that there maybe a U-turn on this with LOCOG (The organiser of the 2012 games) now stating that this is likely to prove too expensive if they were to issue Oyster cards allowing people to travel all across London. They have cited cost as the main reason as it is only a temporary event.
However it strikes me that one of the key points of any Olympic games is also to enable the host city to benefit as much as possible. Surely the cost of issuing Oyster cards would be outweighed by the amount of money that visitors would then spend elsewhere in London? E.g. If they watch athletics in the morning then they may well go and visit another attraction such as the London eye in the afternoon. With out a free travelcard then they are more likely to just go back to their hotel. Or they will they go and buy a tube ticket, thus adding further to the queues of people waiting to buy their tube tickets to get to the afternoons events.
People will then get fed up of queuing and go back to their hotel instead.
The way London 2012 handles its transport will make or break the 2012 Games – If the transport system fails on the first day due to huge queues for tube tickets then I predict by the second day they will have no choice other than to open the whole tube system for free for the duration of the games or risk a meltdown of public and worldwide opinion.
An ever growing business, the import and export industry thrives on the huge demand for international freight transportation from the countless business operations functioning around the world.
Much like farmers meeting at the local co-op, the global market is a daily process of buying and selling – giving and receiving. But the global supply and demand in the economics simply wouldn’t work without today’s modern international freight transportation systems.
Transportation Modes: Leaving no path un-navigated and no distance too far, the various modes of modern transportation can traverse just about any terrain. On the back of a truck, on a train, onboard an ocean liner or soaring above the clouds, cargo containers – even reefer, or refrigerated containers – are designed to be adaptable to any mode of transportation.
Intermodal Freight Transportation: Getting your cargo from one point to another is easy enough, but transporting shipping containers from an airport or shipping container yard to its final destination often requires more than one mode of transportation. Intermodal services offer a combination of transportation logistics to ensure the route and mode of transportation are just right for your international freight transportation needs.
Supply Chain Management: Building on the principles of intermodal transportation, supply chain management services take care of the needs of your production line in a continuous, business to business, end to end chain – ensuring that your cargo is managed correctly and arrives on time.
Transportation Brokers: International freight transportation brokers find and outsource freight solutions for customers – much like a travel agent finds the perfect deal for travellers. Although plenty international freight transportation companies offer a broad array of services, most will employ transportation brokers to help with any outsourcing or special case operations which the customer may require.
Legal Documentation and Administration: Border administration and customs documentation is as important as the cargo itself, because without it you’re goods unfortunately won’t be going anywhere. Read the rest of this entry »
Paris, the city of romance elicits exotic and beautiful dreams of relaxation and culture into the minds of any traveller. And for those who do travel, Paris has so many beautiful sights to offer which will make you want to stay for even longer.
Of course, one of the foremost sights in Paris is the Eiffel Tower. Established in 1889 by Gustave Eiffel for the Universal Exposition, it was intended to be a “temporary” structure for that event. However, it was never taken down and now stands as a popular attraction in Paris.
The Napoleonic Arc de Triomphe stands in the centre of the Place Charles de Gaulle. It was commissioned in 1810 and the monument to those who fought for France particularly during the Napoleonic Wars was finished under King Louis-Philippe between 1833 and 36.
Notre Dame de Paris is a beautiful cathedral built in the Gothic architectural style. In French, Notre Dame means “Our Lady” and it has been through several restorations and alterations due to damages and upgrades through the years.
The Louvre is one of the most famous art museums in the world. For France, the Louvre is also a historical monument as well as a national symbol. Construction began in 1190 and before becoming an art museum, it was a fortress, a prison, and then a residence. It houses over 35,000 pieces of art, including the Mona Lisa and the Venus di Milo, in 650,000 square feet of space.
For those interested in the military history of France, the Les Invalides in Paris is a museum and monument that contains, tells and shows the history of military action in France.
On a small man-made island in the middle of the Seine River, the Lle des Cygnes, stands a small-scale copy of the Statue of Liberty. This replica was placed on the island three years after the Statute of Liberty was placed in New York commemorating the centennial of the French Revolution.
Another beautiful church in Paris is the La Sainte-Chapelle. It is also a Gothic chapel that has also suffered much at the hands of revolutions in France. It has also been restored and has been a historic monument since 1862.
Along the Seine River just outside the Louvre is the Tuileries Garden. The Palais des Tuileries formerly stood in this place until 1871 when it was destroyed. These formal gardens cover 63 acres and are laid out according to a plan designed by Andre Le Notre in 1664.
One of the newer attractions in Paris is the Disneyland Resort Paris. Built in 1992, there are two theme parks as well as several hotels and entertainment venues in the complex. It has quickly become one of Europe’s leading tourist attractions with over 14.5 million visitors in 2007.
Something interesting is always happening in Paris, France, the city of lights. For the traveler, there are a great many things to see, all year round. Paris is a cosmopolitan city. It boasts a booming economy, proud cultural heritage, and of course sightseeing.
When to go?
If you want to experience the city like locals do, then go to Paris in fall or winter. That is when you can feel the vibrancy of the city without the distractions of the tourists. Christmas is the time of great beauty. But for sightseeing and tourism, you are advised to travel to Paris in the summertime. At that time, it is warm in Paris and the traffic is intense due to vast number of tourists that temporarily occupy the city; the prices are also proportionally higher.
How long to stay?
You can always stay as little as a weekend if you don’t like the crowds. Make sure that you plan in advance to hit the highlights of the city. In this case, stay in downtown (more expensive) to be able to cover a lot more territory fast.
To do justice to the city, stay a week or more. In doing so, you can then visit and spend quality time in the city. You can sightsee, visit parks, visit museums, and spend time soaking in the incredible Parisian culture. You will also have a chance to visit some outlaying areas like Versailles, which is a must-see.
Where to stay?
If you are going to Paris in the peek summer season, then hotels are usually booked up and if not, they are very pricy. Many tourists look to bed and breakfast as an alternative. Also you can try staying in the suburbs, or at hostels, private residences, etc. Investigate online sources (e.g. craigslist) beforehand for great deals.

Moving to Australia
The Australian culture and attitude to life is very unique in a world where issues are taken out of context and many things are taken too seriously. Their attitude and national pride has evolved over the years, in what is still a very young country. This land is now becoming one of the most popular countries for Expats to relocate, due to a mixture of the weather, the laid back attitude to life and potential for the future.
The country itself offers such a variety of landscape and lifestyles with many of the nationals living in the “outback” where their nearest neighbour can be literally hundreds of miles away. The fact that such a vastly spread society has been able to prosper is a testament to both the authorities and the Australian’s themselves. Australian Culture While Australia was originally dominated by the Aborigine tribes, prior to becoming a colony of Great Britain, there is a heavy Anglo-Celtic theme to the country. In what is historically a fairly new nation, the Australians are slowly but surely adding in their own particular nationalistic characteristics.
The emerging “Aussie” culture has been strongly influenced by American culture with TV and the media very strong in Australia. There has also been a noticeable influx of immigrants from the nearby Asian countries, which together with English speaking immigrants have added to the variety and depth of the Read the rest of this entry »
It’s not every day that you find a great location for your home. Imagine settling down amidst gently rolling hills with great views of neighboring communities of San Diego where you open to panoramic views of rolling hills and large vast landscapes. Some areas sit up higher on the hill where you can really take advantage of the amazing views the city has to offer. These are just a few of the things to expect when you pick La Mesa to reside in.
The City originally started out as a ranch and rest stop in the early 1800’s. Located just east of San Diego, it experienced a big growth spurt because of the installation of water and the construction of the railway. Residential developments started out together with the new lemon groves that for a while became the area’s revenue generator. From all these, La Mesa was finally incorporated in 1912 and it is now a thriving city with a lot more to offer. Read the rest of this entry »
