My destinations

Patronage is treated like a citizen’s duty in Oslo, and supporting artists with money from the city coffers goes back a long way. In 1921 a contact was signed with Gustav Vigeland by which Oslo paid all of the artist’s bills, and maintained his studio on Nobelsgate 32, which after the sculptor’s death was transformed into his museum. In exchange Vigeland bequeathed all of his sculptures, models and drawing to the city. Today the Vigeland Park is Oslo’s most distinctive tourist attraction. 1921 was also the year when the Young Artist Society (UKS) was founded. This self-assistance organization founded by young painters helped its members for years in a variety of mundane needs, from dental operations to accommodation problems. Currently the Society provides grants for promising artists, organizes exhibitions, and maintains its own gallery. Edward Munch also took advantage of Oslo’s hospitality. The painter, in an impulse of gratitude, gave the city some 1200 paintings and 6000 drawings and prints. The collection is on display in the Munch Museum on Toyengaten 53

In the 19th century only two cities in Eastern Europe were larger then Vilnius: Moscow and Saint Petersburg. Today there are many more, but sociologists at Mercer Human Resource Consulting have shown Lithuania’s picturesquely situated capital to be one of the friendliest cities in the region, surpassed only by Prague and Budapest. Napoleon, who visited Vilnius on his march on Moscow, was less impressed. In fact, St Anne’s Church (Maironio was practically all that hi liked! He even wanted to transfer the building to Paris, and have it close to Notre Dame cathedral. This time his wish proved impossible to fulfill, so the masterpiece of Flemish-French Gothic continues to stand beautifully above the Vilnia with its façade of 33 types of brick. There are more such pearls in the city’s string of architectural gems: Stefan Batory University, the Baroque church of St Peter and Paul, and the Philharmonic from the turn of the 20th century. Most are situated between the Castle and the Gate of Dawn. If you’re going shopping, this in the only place to go; there’s no better place for a walk either

In my opinion the most interesting place, in the world is Burj Al Arab this is hotel in Dubai. What make him so unique? Answer is simple: everything. This building is one off highest hotel on the world (321m); whole construction was built on artificial island. Only 200m split him from beautiful sandy beach. This is the only hotel so luxury that marks him 7 stars. For our disposition are there 6 restaurant, bars, casino, nightclub, 3 pools, trade center, business center and even doctor. We may play here in golf, tennis, and squash. It’s wonderful place anyone should see it. I command this place for all.
