The Telectroscope the tunnel connecting London to New York Art ,New York ,London

Paul St. George, an English Victorian ingnegnere, when the Union Jack sventolava on all the seas of the world, had a dream: making a tunnel between the two sides dell’atlantico that, thanks to a game of mirrors, could put communicating the citizens of New York with those of London.

150 years after the idea dell’immaginifico artist has been achieved, and Telectroscope was installed in London near Tower Bridge and New York near the Brooklin Bridge, allowing those who passed in front to cast a look of the other Part of the ocean. Of course, everything has been achieved thanks to more fiber-optic technology, but the result is the same: perfect strangers that the two sides of the tunnel is scrutano and exchange messages through an electronic blackboard.

The result might not be what they expected St. George, namely promoting relations between people thousands of miles away, at least judging from the wording of some of these “conversations”.

An Englishman to a U.S. policeman in uniform.
“How is it going la banda?”
“I’m one of NYPD Blue not the police, obviously not know how to appreciate the humor typical English.

Or an American fan of soccer, for an Englishman:
“Man U suck!” To send Manchester United to that country, perhaps because it took for Chelsea.
“Man, you suck!” Was the response british, who pronounced the same way but is the prodromo of future misunderstandings.

Summer mountain Valsesia offers history and relax Art, Guide, traditions,Piedmont

I am not a big passionate mountain in the summer, as Mark I can imagine to ski without… But there is a place that has won my heart for the atmosphere, the absence of mass tourism, traditions that are kept jealously: in Alagna Valsesia. The country is the last you’ll find on the state 299, overlooking the river Sesia, set by the Monte Rosa, collects the story of an ancient population of Germanic origin, Walser that Alagna moved between the twelfth and thirteenth century.

During the summer in Alagna can do a lot of walks, as the path glaciologico to discover the evolution of a glacier along a path that winds into 8 stages reported. You can also opt for the discovery of architecture and traditions of Walser following the route of ‘eco museum, an open-air route between houses, churches, mills and furnaces of the community.

Some small things that made my stay magic: seeing the many prayers Tibetan hung outside the houses of the country sway in the wind, buying fresh milk milked just a few steps from the main square of the country and lunch at guglielmina refuge where one day I would like perhaps even stop to sleep (yes, almost 3000 meters high not only eat well but you can sleep at the hotel that once was the highest in Europe).
