He closed the Guggenheim Las Vegas

I agree that no one goes to Las Vegas because it is a city of art but learn that one of the few cultural centres of that city, the Guggenheim, housed in the Venetian, has closed its activities, the eleven in May last year, because revenue most were not able to bear the costs, this unforgivable sin in the home of business is business.

One sees that the average tourist goes to Las Vegas for fun and just, and indeed fun than those shares not missing. In effettisecondo me, rather than the city of sin, the Sin City of America is nothing but a huge playground where we especially enjoys participating, or even witnessing the “excesses”, allle americanate, we know so well for having seen in films and magazines and television that we receive from overseas.

And the Venetian, which operates as Resort, Hotel and Casino is an example, because who if not for an American could come to mind to build in America, and in the middle of the desert, the city that lives on and on ‘ water from the sea and drew its strength and beauty? I assure you, however, that if for a day disappears in a hotel all our European culture (including prejudices), and we are unable to leave the climate of the city, the fun is assured.

Towards the French border, along the Riviera dei Fiori and between medieval villages

 Towards the French border, along the Riviera dei Fiori and between medieval villages

Liguria has a dual soul: a coastal and festaiola that soul to the first hot, invaded by migration from the northernmost regions and a discreet, silent, where the sea is visible from a distance. The latter area, which stretches between Imperia and Ventimiglia, is rich in small villages and beautiful gardens, ideal places to roam without a precise goal in a weekend away from confusion.

Leaving the motorway Flowers after Bordighera, the first country to stopover is Dolceacqua, a medieval village on the shore of Nervia: after covering the steep, narrow streets, you can also stop to enjoy Rossese, the local wine.

Not far away, perched on a steep hill rises Apricale, with houses facing the sun dark and theatrical carugi, and indeed the atmosphere here is a little theatrical, the main square is arranged like a stage, with the shapes created by Production designer Luzzati.

For fans of esoteric, always in the area is Triora, the village of witches, from dark caves and mysterious atmosphere. Here took place a famous witch trial in late 1500, when the country was hit by a famine and people incolpò some women of witchcraft; acts of the process and torture are still kept in the ethnographic museum, in the square to the ancient village a plaque and a statue remember the place where the witches met, the Cabotina.

Leaving these places arcane to continue toward Ventimiglia, the last stage of the weekend, deserve a long pause Gardens Hanbury, among botanical gardens more beautiful and famous of Italy. Created in mid-1800 from Hanbury, retain curatissimi copies of a wide variety of plants; names on the plates do not say much to the layman like me, but it is wonderful to walk these paths and enjoy the sea view from this charming little Eden , Before returning home.

After about 90 minutes from takeoff, the pilot was approached to ask Mr Gokhan free to leave the place because the waiting was not comfortable in the new place, and invited to sit in the bathroom. A nothing is worth the protests of Mr. Gokhan who became the entire trip, sitting in the toilet.

Morale: Mr. Gokhan has filed because the company, asking for a compensation of 2 million dollars for the serious humiliation he suffered (in addition to the hazard course I would add, because I know not the bathrooms are equipped with safety belts.
