Where to go on July

It’s great idea to visiting one of the best-known music festivals and one of the most prestigious in Europe – The Montreux Jazz Festival that will take part in in Switzerland during 02-17 July 2010. You can enjoy there not only with refind music of such famous musicians as Norah Jones, Paco de Lucia, Petula Clark, Quincy Jones and the Global Gumbo All Stars, Tori Amos, Vanessa Paradis and others greatests but also enjoy one of the most beautiful regions in Europe – Montreux Riviera.

By the way, if you live in Australia or going visit this country this summer you have to know that Australia becomes first country outside of Switzerland to open a Montreux Jazz Cafe bringing rare performances and a taste of the Swiss Riviera to Sydney! Sydney International Airport has opened the doors on the first permanent Montreux Jazz Café outside of Switzerland. This long-standing dream of Founder & CEO of the Montreux Jazz Festival Claude Nobs, will provide the public with the opportunity to dine in a unique setting that highlights the history of Europe’s most famous music Festival.

Face Painting Ideas

What is face painting? After all it’s creativity, individuality and no doubt fun. Though it were Halloween, any kind of parties, country fair or sports games – everywhere you can find face painting common sight. I guess that there need be no doubt that Face Painting Ideas is one of the most popular themes many people are looking for to learn the ways of self-expression. I’m sure you can find a lot of excellent free face painting ideas that will make you a smash hit at your next party or event!!

Don’t you know that body painting and face painting of course are being practiced in Indian culture since ancient times? It is a ritual act, which is used during different cultural evens such as festivals, religious events, it’s also an intrinsic part of their rich dance and more. In India people are often seen getting their faces painted even today.

Taking part in World Travel Market (WTM) in London this November, and visiting India travel exposition I could get this fantastic painting on my body – not on the face but only on my hands with traditional natural Indian paints. It is really very beautiful thing that is the exact! Here is you can see the photo of beautiful woman, who is the true master of Indian traditional body painting. Just it’s pity I didn’t ask her name.

Winter Family Walks

Winter Holiday is a time of family walks. Some visit the scenes of favorite stories and films; Eeyore’s Gloomy Place, the wild wood of Moley and Ratty, Mr Rochester’s house from Jane Eyre. Nature in showman mood is always an attraction; Cautley Spout waterfall in Cumbria or the cataracts of Dollar Glen in Scotland’s Ochil Hills, or East Anglia’s great bird spectacles, such as the floodlit feeding of the swans at Welney Wetland Centre.

You can also get out in the fresh air this holiday with a free Winter Walk taking a part in the Ramblers Festival of Winter Walks.This Christmas the south west of England will host around 100 festive strolls as part of what organisers say is Britain’s biggest walking fiesta, the Ramblers Festival of Winter Walks, with a number of events taking place in Gloucestershire.

The annual festival began 21 years ago and has since lured thousands of people off their sofas, with more than 17,000 walkers expected to take part in the action this Christmas.

This year’s festival will run from Boxing Day, Saturday 26 December 2009, to Sunday 3 January 2010, with all walks being free, open to all and mostly family-friendly.

‘Walking is a perfect way to escape and unwind after a hectic Christmas. What better way to introduce yourself to the delights of walking than stepping out in the crisp air of a winter’s day on a free, festive Winter Walks stroll?’, said festival supporter and extreme television presenter Ben Fogle.

To find your closest Gloucestershire Winter Walk, call Ramblers on 020 7339 8500.

New Year Celebrating in Paris

Dont you know that in Paris, as in the rest of France, the New Year, or “St. Sylvestre”, starts January 1st and ends February 1st. French people start wishing each other cheerful Bonne Annees and exchanging bises (small kisses on each cheek) at the stroke of midnight January 1st, and mailboxes are flooded with greeting cards and gifts throughout the month. So don’t be surprised if you hear wishes for the new year throughout January– and feel free to return them:-)

Paris is wonderful place to visit on any occasion but New Years in Paris is a wonderful affair, and the City of Lights is truly one of the special places to be to usher in the New Year!

So where to go? You could spend the better part of a day at The Louvre, visit the Notre Dame Cathedral and then enjoy a sumptuous French dinner and still feel like you’ve just touched the tip of the iceberg. New Years in Paris is a wonderful affair, and the City of Lights is truly one of the special places to be to usher in the New Year. Six hours before the Times Square Ball drops in New York City, the Parisians and the Paris visitors will have already celebrated the New Year in grand style. There are plenty of varying ways to celebrate New Years in Paris, whether you are looking to go clubbing, want to enjoy a multi-course dinner or are thinking that a dinner cruise on the Seine river is the ideal way to go.

If you want to be at the center of the New Years Eve Paris party, then you will want to head to the famed Champs-Elysees. The Paris metro is free on New Years Eve until around 12:30 a.m., and if you don’t mind a packed metro car, you could certainly arrive that way. But Paris is such a great walking city that your own two feet might be the best way to go. The Seine lit up at night is a pleasure in and of itself. People generally start to arrive at Champs-Elysees at around 9 p.m., and usually they are armed with champagne bottles and plastic flute glasses. When the clock strikes midnight, you can catch a good view of the Eiffel Tower’s exploding pyrotechnic display. Just be prepared for the fireworks going off around you too. In Paris, it is legal to buy and sell fireworks, and youths throughout the city like to set them off everywhere, sometimes even in the metro stations. Along or near Champs-Elysees, there are a good amount of spots where you can dine or dance for New Years in Paris. You can head closer to the Eiffel Tower if you want to witness its celebratory light display up close, and if you want a less crowded locale to take it all in from, then the plaza at the Sacre Coeur Cathedral is the place to go. The atmosphere is a bit more laid back than at Champs-Elysees, and the views of the Paris skyline are hard to beat.

Watching a cabaret show is another popular way to take in New Years Eve in Paris. At the Lido on Champs-Elysees, you can enjoy dinner and a cabaret show, and the famed Moulin Rouge is a classic place for those wondering where to go on New Years in Paris. Such delicacies as foie gras and lobster are on the dinner menu at the Moulin Rouge, and dancing to the music played by the Moulin Rouge orchestra is surely a treat. The Moulin Rouge cabaret show, much like that at the Lido, is designed specifically around the occasion. If you are really looking to let loose while celebrating New Years Eve in Paris, then clubbing is the way to go. While it may not have the club scene that London offers, it is surely not to be sneezed at.

There are plenty of hip clubs where you can enjoy an unadulterated New Years Eve Paris bash that will last long into the morning. One of the city’s top clubs that will be sure to be lively on New Years Eve is the Nouveau Casino. Large and open, the dance floor here is the main attraction, that is unless you consider the large main bar, which resembles an iceberg. The Wagg is another French club that is a spot worthy of those wondering where to go on New Years Eve in Paris. Its owner is also the owner of club Fabric, which is one of the recommended clubs to visit for New Years in London. Popular with those in their 20′s and 30′s, the Wagg is a place where you can dance and drink the night away, regardless if it’s New Years or not. Other Paris clubs that will be offering slamming New Years Eve Paris bashes are Le Troisieme Lieu, the REX Club and Divan du Monde, to name a few. Regardless of your decision for where to go on New Years in Paris, the experience is sure to be a memorable one. Here’s a champagne toast, wishing you a Bonne Annee!
