Retezat National Park By Bart, 05 October 2008 at 15:22:17 :: Romania Retezat National Park, located in Hunedoara county, is the oldest National Park in Romania; it was established in 1935 and it's mai objectives were to conserve the landscape and the endemic flora found here. Altitudes vary between 794m at the park entry on Râu Mare valley and 2509m at Peleaga Peak.  Containing more than 60 peaks over 7,500 feet (2,300 m) and over 100 crystal clear deep glacier lakes, the Retezat Mountains are some of the most beautiful in the Carpathians and include Romania's first national park. Retezat National Park is a natural reserve area covering more than 275 sq mi (710 km2)., including 4.500 square acres in a strictly protected scientific reserve area called "Gemenele". The Retezat Mountains can be found in this Park, with the highest peak being Peleaga Peak at 2509 meters. The name derives from the name of the mountains and retezat means in Romanian "cut off", alluding to their shape. It also includes about 80 glacier lakes.  Flora is known to be very rich, with almost 1200 plant species from about 3600 found in Romania. Having a third of the Romania flora present here was one of the main reasons to designate the area as a National Park. Fauna is also very rich, mainly because of the diversity of habitats found here, but also because the human impact is still small. There are no permanent settlements inside the park.

It has a population of 695,300 (2001 census estimate) and is situated between the Kara Kum desert and the Kopet Dag mountain range. Ashgabat has a primarily Turkmen population, with minorities of ethnic Russians, Armenians, and Azeris. It is 250 km from the second largest city in Iran, Mashad.  Ashgabat is a relatively young city, growing out of a village of the same name established in 1818. Its original founding fathers were Russian troops who landed in Krasnovodsk (present-day Turkmenbashy) in 1869 and who built a fortress on a high hill to accommodate their administation. In subsequent years this fortress, serving as a focal point, attracted a host of merchants and entrepreneurs who sought to expand their markets and enter new adventures. For their center of activity, the newcomers built a number of buildings and factories on the other side of town around the Transcaspian Railway station. Today, large numbers of tourists visit Ashgabat and Nisa, the ancient capital of the Parthians, a short distance from Ashgabat.  Major places of interest in Ashgabat include the Turkmen Fine Arts Museum which, among other things, houses a collection of very beautiful Turkmen carpets. One of the carpets on display, among the largest and heaviest in the world, covers an area of 193.5 square meters and weighs 885 kilograms. The Turkmen History Museum contains over 30,000 archeological and ethnographic items dating back to the region's Parthian days. And the Exhibit Hall of the Ashgabat Carpet Factory with its collection of rare hand-woven carpets. A main feature of this Hall is a unique double-sided carpet.

But Argentina did cry for her. Now Evita is buried at the famous la Recoleta cemetery (Cementerio de la Recoleta) located in the exclusive Recoleta neighbourhood of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The cemetery includes graves of some of the most influential and important persons of Argentina, including several presidents, scientists, and wealthy characters. Internationally, Eva Perón is the best known person buried in this cemetery.  The Recoleta cemetery has been compared to the Pere Lachaise cemetery of Paris, being one of the fundamental architectonic pieces of the city of Buenos Aires. Each mausoleum bears the family name etched into the facade; brass or bronze plaques are added to the front for particular family members. La Recoleta is one of those cemeteries where the tradition of engraving a death date but no birth date has been maintained.  Some of the famous interred in La Recoleta Cemetery are: * William Brown (admiral) (1777-1857), Admiral, Father of the Argentine Navy * Juan Bautista Alberdi (1810-1884), writer, politician, lawyer * Juan Pujol, the first Governor of the Province of Corrientes and designer of the First Argentine National Stamp. * Luis César Amadori (1902-1977), poet, composer * Nicolás Avellaneda (1837-1885), President of Argentina * Susan Barrantes, (1937-1998), mother of Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York * Adolfo Bioy Casares (1914-1999), writer * Miguel Juárez Celman (1844-1909), President of Argentina * Juan Manuel de Rosas (1793-1877), politician, caudillo * Luis Firpo (1894-1960), heavyweight boxer, "The Wild Bull of the Pampas" * Oliverio Girondo (1891-1967), poet, journalist * José Hernandez (1834-1886), writer * Arturo Umberto Illia (1900-1983), President of Argentina * Enrique Larreta (1875-1961), writer * Luis F.

It is located within the South Zone of Rio de Janeiro, between the districts of São Conrado and Gávea. It is built on a steep hillside overlooking the city, just one kilometer from the beach.  Although Rocinha is technically classified as a neighborhood, many still refer to it as a favela. It developed from a shanty town into an urbanized slum. Today, almost all the houses in Rocinha are made from concrete and brick. Some buildings are three and four stories tall and almost all houses have basic sanitation, plumbing, and electricity. Compared to simple shanty towns or slums, Rocinha has a better developed infrastructure and hundreds of businesses such as banks, drug stores, bus lines, cable television, including locally based channel TV ROC, and, at one time, a McDonalds franchise, though it has since closed. These factors help classify Rocinha as a Favela Bairro, or Favela Neighborhood. The population of Rocinha is estimated to be anywhere from 60,000 to 150,000 though some believe more than 400,000 people live in the favela. It is the largest favela in Brazil and definitely one of the most highly developed in Latin America.  As all favelas, Rocinha is controlled by the drug dealers gangs. Police has limited access, and everything is dealt with by the gangs. However, in their own interest, they keep everything quite inside the favela and try and make it as safe as possible for both inhabitants and visitors. Want to visit a favela? You can! Favela tour is an organisation which offers a visit of the Rocinha Favela. For having tried it, I can confirm that this is not a zoo-like package tourist tour, but instead a very interesting trip into the way of life of many Brazilians. 20% of Cariocas (Rio inhabitants) live in the favelas. There are more than 750 favelas in Rio.

The city is capital of the state of Rio de Janeiro. It was the capital of Brazil for almost two centuries, from 1763 to 1822 while it was a Portuguese colony and from 1822 to 1960 as an independent nation. It was the de facto capital of the Portuguese Empire from 1808 to 1821. Commonly known as just Rio, the city is also nicknamed A Cidade Maravilhosa, or "The Marvelous City".  Why this name? Guanabara Bay was reached by Portuguese explorers in an expedition led by Portuguese explorer Gaspar de Lemos on January 20, 1502; hence Rio de Janeiro, "January River." There is a legend that the mariners named the place thus because they thought the mouth of the bay was actually the mouth of a river, but no experienced sailor would make that mistake. At the time, river was the general word for any large body of water. And why Brazil? When Portuguese explorers found these trees of a deep red hue inside on the coast of South America, they used the name pau-brasil to describe them. Pau is Portuguese for "wood", and brasil is said to have come from brasa, Portuguese for "ember". This name had been earlier used to describe a different species of tree which was found in Asia and other places and which also produced red dye; but the South American trees soon became the better source of red dye. Brazilwood trees were such a large part of the exports and economy of the land that the country which sprang up in that part of the world took its name from them and is now called Brazil.  And now what? Rio de Janeiro is famous for its natural settings, its Carnival celebrations, samba and other music, and hotel-lined tourist beaches, such as Copacabana and Ipanema, paved with decorated black and cream swirl pattern mosaics known locally as "pedra portuguesa". Some of the most famous local landmarks in addition to the beaches include the giant statue of Jesus, known as Christ the Redeemer ('Cristo Redentor') atop Corcovado mountain, which has recently been named one of the New Seven Wonders of the World; Sugarloaf mountain (Pão de Açúcar) with its cable car; the Sambódromo, a giant permanent parade stand used during Carnival; and Maracanã stadium, one of the world's largest football stadiums. Be warned: Rio's powers of seduction can leave you with a bad case of saudade (indescribable longing) when you leave.

Study cedar perched high in the mountains stand for many Lebanese as symbols of their fractured land's survival. But some environmentalists worry that the trees face a new threat from global warming. "The biggest challenge now for the cedars of Lebanon is climate change," said Nizar Hani, scientific coordinator of the Barouk Cedar Nature Reserve in the Shouf mountains. Only murmuring insects and breezes rustling through cedar branches disturb the stillness of the sanctuary, about 90 minutes' drive from the frenzied bustle of Beirut. The cedar's natural range is now 1,200 to 1,800 metres above sea level, Hani said. A warmer climate would mean cedars could only prosper higher up.  Cedars once covered vast swatches of southern Turkey, Syria and Lebanon, but their timber and resin has long been in demand, as indicated by the Epic of Gilgamesh, written in the second millennium BC, and by the Biblical tale of King Solomon importing Lebanese cedar wood for his temple in Jerusalem. Valued by Phoenician shipwrights, Egyptian builders and many others, the forests shrank over the millennia. Ottoman Turks axed many of Lebanon's surviving cedars. British troops used cedar wood to build the Tripoli-Haifa railway in World War Two. Now cedars cover only 2,000 hectares in Lebanon, clinging on in just a dozen high-altitude redoubts. Almost all these are protected. The Barouk cedars are thriving and regenerate naturally. Their larger, older cousins in a walled grove near Bsherri in the north are more famous, but only a few remain. Some are thought to exceed 2,000 years old. The longevity of the cedrus libani, or cedar of Lebanon, does not make it immune from climate change, argued Rania Masri, an environmentalist at Notre Dame University near Beirut. Cedars are comfortable at a certain altitude and like moist, well-drained soil with a certain level of humidity. "These are aspects that climate change could very much impact, especially in this region," she said. "There could well be a decrease in humidity, a decrease in rainfall." Cedars form part of an environment in Lebanon subject to multiple man-made stresses not limited to climate change, she added. "I'm as worried about threats to the cedars as I am about most other environmental situations in Lebanon, but no more." A decade ago, insects were devastating cedars at Tannourin in northern Lebanon. Researchers linked the infestation of Cephalcia tannourinensis, a wood wasp, to changes in temperature and soil moisture. The outbreak was eventually controlled. Nevertheless, Nasri Kawar, a retired professor at the American University of Beirut, who played a leading role in that effort, said he did not have enough firm scientific evidence to predict how badly climate change would affect the cedars. "Global warming is not a matter of overnight, it's a matter of many years. We have not yet seen any serious deterioration in the cedars over the years, besides this insect," he said. "To me the cedars are the symbol of Lebanon. They show the country's fantastic endurance," added Kawar, 75. "I hope my grandchildren will be able to enjoy them. I think they will."  Effort to preserve the cedars of Barouk, an official nature reserve since 1996, has been led by Walid Jumblatt, a Druze politician and former militia chief whose fiefdom is the Shouf. The reserve covers 160km2, 1,5% of Lebanon's territory, and contains a quarter of its cedar forests, said Hani, the scientific coordinator. Lebanon's cedar, which adorns the national flag, grows into its distinctive wedge shape only after it has reached a height of seven or eight meters, he explained. "Then the head dies. This is a natural condition, not a disease, because the underground water reservoir can only feed the tree to that height," Hani said. "This is the difference between the cedrus libani in Lebanon and in other places." "If you plant a cedrus libani in a place with more water and more snow, you cannot see this shape, the flag shape." Barouk is a haven of biodiversity, with 524 plant species and a rich variety of birds, reptiles and mammals, said to include wild boar, wolves, red foxes, jackals and hyenas. Lebanon's political troubles have undercut efforts to attract visitors to the reserve, despite its peaceful beauty. Numbers hit a peak of 28,000 in 2004, but dropped to 21,000 in 2005 after the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik al-Hariri. Only 17,000 people came in 2006, the year of Israel's war with Hezbollah guerrillas, and 14,000 last year. "The situation in the country is still not quiet, not 100%," Hani acknowledged. "We hope the next few months will be calmer and people will come here to enjoy nature in Lebanon." bangkokpost.com 0 comment :: Add a comment Korean diversion, Suwon, South Korea By Bart, 31 July 2008 at 12:04:29 :: Korea, South Suwon, capital of Gyeonggi-do Province that shares its border with North Korea, is proving a nice escape from Seoul. Story by KARNJANA KARNJANATAWE Photos by TWIP From a young age Korean children are required to learn three things: be grateful to parents, love their country and protect nature, which they memorise by heart not in classrooms but by visiting cultural and historical places. And perhaps no where in South Korea is this trait more in evidence than in Suwon city, 35 kilometres south of Seoul. Suwon is the capital of Gyeonggi-do, a province bordering North Korea.  According to Hong Ji-Hee of the Korean-Thailand Communication Center, it is mandatory for schools to organise study trips to royal palaces, museums and cultural sites in order to engender in students a sense of affection and love for their roots and motherland. Korean history dates back more than 5,000 years, she said, but not many ancient artefacts are left today because for most of its existence the country had been at war. Take the Hwaseong Fortress in Suwon for example. Built in 1794 by King Jeongjo in the shape of a lotus bloom and declared a World Heritage site in 1997, very little of the original three-storey structure that sits in the middle of a compound 5.7km long remains standing today. It was crumbling and had to be restored brick by brick, specially the surrounding walls and guard towers. To Koreans, lotus is a symbol of gratefulness. Visitors can walk the compound or take a tram tour complete with English-speaking guides. Inside they will find Haenggung, the royal residence, where on display are royal arts, traditional costumes and court culture. For entertainment, it also has a section where you can try your hand at traditional Korean archery. At first glance the palace architecture looks similar to what you see in China and Japan, but there is one difference: the roof of a Korean palace has a shallow curve in the middle, while Chinese palaces have none and those in Japan have a deeper curve, said Bea Choong-Ho, our guide. The other major difference is that Japanese palaces are less colourful than their Korean counterparts.  "There are five colours that we reserve for painting temples and palaces: red, green, blue, yellow and light blue. Normal people can not paint their houses in these colours," he noted. Kindergarten and primary school students could be seen everywhere. "Our children learn history before they are allowed to visit amusement parks," he added. Also on display are models of King Jeongjo, his queen, courtiers and a banquet for his mother hosted to mark her 61st birthday anniversary. The room from where the king discharged his official duties is open to the public, who are kept entertained with a 30-minute martial arts performance re-enacting famous battle scenes from the past. The fortress is pride of Suwon, said, Ra Su-Heung, director of the city's culture and tourism division. Another popular spot for students is the Waujeongsa Temple in Yong-in city, east of Suwon. It was built in 1987 by a North Korean who prayed for reunification of South and North Korea. Said Choi Eun-Ha, a volunteer guide who also teaches English at a primary school, "Highlight of the temple is Buddha with a large head sitting atop a pile of rocks 80 metres high. The statue is not finished yet, not until the two Koreas unite. Then, to the head will be added the body and the complete statue will be 100 metres tall." The temple's other eminent feature is a reclining Buddha carved from juniper that, she said, is the largest of its kind in the world. Twelve metres long, wood for the statue was sourced from India. People come here to pray for reunification. The Korean Folk Village is the city's other attraction. Stepping inside, it reminded me of Ancient City in Samut Prakan. It features traditional Korean houses that trace the lifestyle and ambience dating as far back as 1345. The village opened in 1974 and exhibits around 360 different types of houses and 18,000 traditional items. "Most of the houses are originals sourced from different parts of the country and reassembled here," said James Jong, a guide there. "We want to preserve them so that succeeding generations of Koreans can come here and learn how their ancestors used to live and at the same time propagate folk wisdom." The houses, reminiscent of styles native to both North and South Korea, are not there just for show but they have occupants, and variously depict the residence of government officials and farmers. Also present are medical stores and a traditional market.  Walking the village I came across a house where in evidence was the ingenuity of Korean farmers to help them survive the harsh winter. Its thatched roof with eight layers of straw padding plus cardboard doors and windows offered insulation from cold outside, while for warmth heat from kitchen fire was channelled via pipes that ran under its raised floor. Koreans call this home-perfected way of heating ondol. The village is a popular location for film shoots, including the period TV drama Daejanggeum (The Irresistible Woman). It also hosts traditional dances and wedding rites. On a field trip, it's only after they have studied and learned about their traditions, roots and heritage are Korean children allowed into amusement parks, and the biggest of them is Everland, a water park also located in Yong-in. For the kindergartners, it is time for fun. At Everland they particularly enjoy an activity called Splash in which staff impersonating cartoon characters zap them with water guns, drawing cheers and screams from the kids. Tourists and primary grade students, however, prefer the recently opened wooden roller-coaster and its 77-degree drop. The entire ride lasts just three minutes but it seems like a lifetime, and it is non-stop fun. "I screamed and screamed," said Rossaporn, a visitor from Thailand. "It's the most fun I have had at an amusement park." There is another park, Tiger World, that attracts loads of primary school students. It is located in Pocheon city. Among its various attractions is a ski dome fed by snow all year round where you can go skiing or skate-boarding. Visitors from Thailand might find it a bit cold because temperature inside the dome is maintained at a constant minus two degrees Celsius. Kang-Sik Kim, manager of Gyeonggi-do Tourist Association, summed up the charm of the province saying, "It is a vacation destination for all Koreans, especially for residents of Seoul, for it offers an interesting perspective on our history, culture, food and entertainment." 0 comment :: Add a comment And the new winner is...
