Web Idea: P.I.S.S.

Do you, ever in your life, need to check the schedule of the next movie, train, ferry, or bus ? How many times do you need to check it, in a day ? Is that easy to “check” ?

Tips - Eiffel Tower …

Paris is many newly-weds’ honeymoon destination, and all of them will visit Eiffel Tower. Certainly Eiffel Tower is a very very romantic landmark, but to enjoy a very romantic moment is in fact not visiting the tower itself. Indeed there are two other options.

But somehow, what I like most is the “figure of peace” modeled in front [...]

New York - The Grand Central Station

I am a fan of the movie “The Untouchables” and the shootout scene in the Grand Central Station simply has to be seen to be believed. So, it is a must go in New York But what I found interesting was an exhibition in the station the day I visited. It was about advertising [...]

New York - The New York Public Library

Other than museums and monuments, I love to visit libraries in my trips. It is a very good way to see how the people in the city, country treasure history, culture and knowledge, just by visiting their central library. If you visit our central library in town, you probably know what I mean … how [...]
