European train buffet line: preparations
European line last year.
Now go directly from domestic trains tourism European buffet is not widespread. So I think a lot of experience, a lot of experience to share. Write this travelogue is on this journey of remembrance.This travel was a friend of mine invited to attend an event in the small town in Northern Germany Berlin Neubrandenburg, 9, 10 and 11 July.
This matter to determine only the beginning of August. I August 11, to apply for Schengen visas, in the Consulate 8 to 18. And then just booked my ticket. Because it's too late and plus season, most tickets are already sold out. Many setbacks, finally get it is from Bangkok and Helsinki two turn to Berlin's Thai and fenhang ticket (return trip is Nordic aviation Copenhagen a turn for the better). My travel plans after the events of the week the main countries with train travel. On the Internet to do a lot of homework, finally found Euler rail ticket office in Shanghai, people's Square West Jinling road. European train tickets are generally multinational tourism for buy ticket is a ticket for the kind of casual riding. Ticket can only be purchased outside of Europe, the species is also very complex. I finally bought that three countries (Germany and Italy) five days (without continuous) twin ticket (I went with my wife). In order for the ticket, really hurt a lot. First of all, it is necessary to comply with my trip, that is to go to the most worthy of a place, not to me early on unalterable Paris, French Riviera, and Venice. Secondly, convergence, I checked the European rail network for airfares, last from a few sets of programmes selected a set (the other as backup). Last thing, the price, must meet my requirements and is the lowest. Also, pass only includes the normal ticket price. If you are a high-speed trains and overnight train, positioning fees to pay. Locate either in the Shanghai Office, you can also set the main railway station in Europe. In the process of considering travel itinerary may change, I just booked before departure from Nice to Rome by overnight train. My trips are:Shanghai-Bangkok-Helsinki-Berlin-Brandenburg-Berlin-Khas Ruhr-Strasbourg-Paris-Nice-Rome-Venice-Monaco/Monte-Carlo-Cannes-Paris-Mannheim-Berlin-Copenhagen-Shanghai (including transit interchange stations, of which the second Berlin to third Berlin between all by train)
The train line has the advantage that you can see the scenery, cheap, save time, more romantic.
The entire trip four days sleeping on the train. Annex I of the ticket.Determine the travel and transportation to accommodation issues after.
Do I worry about the Neubrandenburg, aircraft around on the one night, the train I plan a fourth night, leaving only the need to address the two nights in Paris and Berlin by night. I'd in "poor" on the Internet and find an Paris Chinese family hotel, very cheap (small villa of double room, per night € 36, 360 Yuan). Contact after he let me half the money for flowed down to his Shanghai Bank account number. There is no official credentials, then do not sign what I plan to arrive before 11 pm. See the online evaluation of others, and finally decided to trust him, put money in the past. Then prove that this decision was right. Berlin hotel is online with a credit card. Just a sixingjiudian promotions, 50 euro a night. At home it's not cheap. But in Europe, this is almost the same as sent.Last turn to the equipment.
I bring a camera, a few years ago bought Sony, 320 Megapixel, by two batteries. A prior to temporary buy digital companion, capacity 40G. There are also mobile phones (most of the time the flight mode, when the alarm clock and back-up camera. Sometimes short post receiving and dispatching short note). These three guys themselves are not large, but with three heavy charger! now I wish someone could invent a universal charger. There is also a small things have to say, just be sure to bring the European power conversion socket. Prior to Interbrew bought one in Germany and France are very well, didn't think Italy is not the same results in Rome more! spent an hour to buy conversion socket. By the way, before a book online that European train has a power outlet. The fact is all the overnight train! results in Rome at the end of the battery completely used up, the next morning in the face of Venice beauty camera cannot be used, but also good God our eyes in the station platform a corner to give me an outlet, but still very embarrassing. It seems to get home before homework or not.OK, back story and photos posted on let me slowly.
It was originally posted on I often go to a cell phone Forum.
The Forum phone-easy to use, see stickers out there posting very convenient. Unfortunately there's user to students, my post Companion. So here a synchronization publication. But do not see the posting. Therefore, there is a problem with friends can go to the cell phone forum posting, I will try to answer. My post at:http://www.mztk.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=60346
(European railway ticket)
Autumn in Paris is glorious, El-Eiffel remains the derricks, accompanied by 100 years of standing still.
Seine river water is still so clear, the river cruise or walking to the taste of Paris's autumn.Today can be seen in the novels of Notre Dame, tall tower stands on a small island in the Seine.
If you know little about the Catholic, then I am afraid that only cursory.There is no doubt that the Versailles palace and the Louvre is the gem of France culture.
Louis XIV established Versailles everywhere highlight a virtual China and a stately and Louvre collection of Mona Lisa, the Venus statue and victory statue as the fragrance of 3, it attracts numerous eyeballs. In my impression, as if the London National Gallery of art painting is good at, and the Louvre on the statue has given me a deep impression. I am not an art connoisseur, but undoubtedly Louvre art is great.Montmartre and the Sacre Coeur Church Highland I was nothing special, but in his next to an open-air art market is very attractive.
Place, surrounded by a few blocks of the low building surrounded not big courtyard, with yellow leaves of autumn and the open-air cafe chairs, some Street painter crowded in there to stop painting of tourists, 10 euro suffice. There are also paintings, paintings in dozens of hundreds of the price. Perhaps this will be the future of Van Gogh cardat!Night in Paris is noisy.
The famous Moulin Rouge theatre with timeless drama, though no makeup, but did feel no obscenity, filled the audience, which also has many ladies, worth a visit! 2 nightly, fare of € 85-95.Compared with the noise of Paris, the southern city of Nice is a good place for seaside holiday.
Although the values fall, but Eastern Mediterranean blue sea or let people Kiss. Nourished so much history and civilization, also gave birth to this too much better looking and sadness. United Kingdom people walking road stretches for more than 10 km, seems to embrace a plethora of waves, stroking her brow ...To drive 30 minutes to arrive at the Casino of Monaco.
Pocket-sized country is famous for gambling and racing. Monte Carlo car Shuttle in narrow curved streets, it is the fear for drivers; and the Casino is Las Vegas than not a bright and stylish, the seaside scenery but let people forget to return. From the Grand Duke Palace looked down, and side wall of the mountain, is a quiet Bay-Park of private yachts, precipitous walls of the mountain stands the towering palaces and Cannon, a reminder here was the ancient battlefield. Monaco is worth a go.A few days to go many places, in fact, is to get to sleep, off camera type of tourism.
Most of the Chinese European tour. Due to the different cultural, religious, historical background, most people in Europe the myth of architecture, art, are not widely understood, mind-blowing is possible, but it is certain yet.European prices its expensive, hotel good point over at 100 euros, more than RMB 1000 kg.
The majority of France who do not speak English, even if you hear only answer your French, maybe the national pride. Even in the Louvre, all signs and callout text will be French, it is resistant to Ho!In short, European tour before we must first look at European history, religion and culture, in addition to accompanying preparations, and enough money, then the beginning of the wine fills me with courage qiangang starting!
At the end of October 2004

This trip to Europe, specifically through Switzerland Federal Ministry of agriculture, visited Switzerland on the outskirts of Bern, the capital of a farm.
According to the farm's owner himself, his main income by cattle and horse breeding by helping others.
Since the farm is not his own, but let someone else 's, so the limited income.We asked a translation does not let us ask the question, asked his family income? he kindly answered, 90 more Switzerland francs (equivalent million RMB).
He also told me that his 90 more Switzerland franc revenue, Government of all kinds of agricultural subsidies in half, and all operating revenue only accounted for the other half.
Listen to the introduction of farmers, was very mixed feelings: one half of the farmers ' income, is the Government's various subsidies.
While we have only just cancellation, there is still no peasant significant direct subsidies. Even cancel one agricultural tax, also INNFA. Contrast, really ashamed!Here in particular, the EU governments subsidies to farmers, not the things of the past few years.
On EU governments, farmers, subsidies, is perfectly justified!Thus, inevitably laments: Ah ~ Chinese peasants! Chinese farmers suffer!
(The raising of dairy cattle farming households, very nice!)
(Farmers own the House, also there is taste!)
(Apple of racing, I do not know what will happen to the game up?)
(Walls with various Racing Association of label wants to prove that farmers own breed horse qualifications!)
(The gate of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture of Switzerland, while not imposing of China's Ministry of agriculture, but subsidies to farmers than our style!)

Travelling in France for ten years, it can be said to feel everywhere.
May the best allows me to feel the history and the Humanities France France people warm and friendly place is in the Lachaise father cemetery. Although the day to go to the cemetery and not this time France tour on the first day, but it is my entire trip unforgettable day.Go to France before I listed many places to visit, Lachaise father cemetery in one of the columns, you can say is I need to go.
Where buried many world-class cultural celebrities. One romantic pianist and composer Chopin, the Opera "Carmen" and "Alai city girl" composer Bize, Italy opera composer Rossini and Tabellini, the Carnival of Romania suite composed by Michael is, Callas, soprano singer, dancer Duncan, stage actress Sarah Junv · Bena, rock star Jim Morrison, France-literatus Balzac, Hugo, Brest, Don Wright, Nodier, Gertrude Stein, France · famous poet and writer of Fables of La Fontaine, Existentialism, poet and writer of Sartre couples-Eugene Pottier, playwright Moliere, Oscar Wilde, the painter de la Croix, etc. are buried here.Lachaise Cemetery in Paris East, covers 44 hectares, the official name is "Eastern cemetery".
Here is the "Sun King" Louis XIV (1643-1715, in bits) of the Confessor-Jesuit Lachaise's luxury villas. Lachaise won the Louis XIV of Nin, mastering the religious affairs for over 34 years, this villa is Louis XIV gave him. 1804 years here to cemetery, people used to call it the Lachaise father cemetery. According to statistics, Lachaise father cemetery is Paris 14 seat cemetery in the biggest, 200 years cumulative interment million deceased; existing Vault 10 million seat, and was buried nearly 30 million people.In order to visit these undead, before setting out to do a little preparation though, but it is only slightly aware who was buried here.
In the afternoon we take metro line 2 to the graveyard, a walk into the cemetery inside zhuaxia. In the face of the vast sea of the Tomb, the dense forest of steles, it really doesn't matter from. I can list many columns may be limited where looking at the time of their tomb wow? both in for a pound, along the rough blocks slowly find, find the calculation that, so with a simple cemetery map and door signs we started looking for. Spent a good half-day effort was first found the tomb of Chopin, on his tombstone front carved his side head relief, here is his name and birthday, tombstone above is wrapped with a veil, springs from the grief with hair, loosely humming girl head sculpture, in front of the tomb of a visitor who presented many flowers. In front of his burial, which help in memory of the musician's life and those who are familiar with the music, he and his big 6-year-old woman writer George · legend of Mulberry's love, his brilliant Piano Sonata, his sensitive, delicate, rich and intense poetic ….In Chopin's grave left a shadow later started the hard to find.
Balzac's Tomb? Callas Tomb where ... we just kept on looking for that kept questioning. Usually come here mostly for relatives and ancestors ' graves, asking them capital is shaking his head, ask cemetery staff also just tell you a general orientation. We are at a loss if she suddenly found a middle-aged men in France is holding a book reading in the graveyard, thought this one was really quite interesting, in the graveyard book, is to seek a calm here, or for other what …. Didn't think we would look forward to using bad English say his Balzac's Tomb and Callas's Tomb in which he looked me in the hands of the map, and then tell us the exact location of the cemetery. We know and in the direction of his means, and will probably go to 100 metres, the man from France followed up and called out to us that you want to take us. At that time I felt really good is very excited to Wow, did not know that what is good, he kept just learned French said: ' buy and drink drink but pity! buy (thank you) '!He seems to always be here, on the cemetery of everything is so familiar that we as he moves through the forest of steles trail, every person he feels important cemeteries are thin as we explain, in part is we know and don't know.
When he saw us puzzled looks when hand animatedly, tell us who is a poet, thinker who is …. In his lead by our first came to ashes to ashes toilet casket Hall is set in four of the wall, famous soprano singer Callas's tomb is placed on the ground floor, her tombstone, is 16259, I never thought that such a world famous soprano of only 30 cm x monument, tombstones were left to plug in a bunch of flowers, may also be like we do admire her offer. In her grave stands, it seems my ear pierced her sing in the Opera "Tosca", "for love, for the sake of art" sweet sentimental songs. "For love, for the sake of art" is on her short life of the best comments.Out of ashes, we turn to find writers Pu Brest, Balzac, Don Wright, Oscar Wilde, Nodier, Don Wright, La Fontaine, Jean-Paul Sartre couples; painters de la Croix St. Simon, thinkers; poet Eugene. Bob Utah El; composer Bize, Nai, library, Rossini, Bailey, et al. 's grave, in their grave I only heart silently to pay tribute to them, because their health, for the mankind to create too much too valuable spiritual wealth, they deserve people they admire and cherish forever.
Lachaise father Cemetery there are so many world-class cultural celebrities here Habitat, this make people have to think about, if globalization is not only the city to see foreign living come or not, live, also foreigners died leaving no stay of the soul.
But such a city, the world has not. For many centuries, Paris has maintained a "intercourse". It enables aliens after death love to stay here. Underappreciated artists, retirement of Hollywood stars and cynicalDissidents, coup ousted politician, think of Paris. Past China in a word: a person's birth is not selected, but his future is optional. In other words: a life in what city was accidental, but buried in what the city can be selected. There are many foreigners, selection and was buried in Paris. Selected Paris, just select the free life. This is the significance of Paris, Lachaise father cemetery.Here I have a feeling that some of the world famous tombs and other non-famous grave than is so simple and plain, too obscure, but has that kind of person who's bootstrap France, I really can't imagine can find so many celebrities in the Tomb, he showed us what are the necropolis a good two and a half hours until the closed park after dark is deplored.
When I left my chest at parting with a rose in France flag medal award him, he told us he would like it very much literature and classical music. No wonder he here so familiar with, no wonder he can proudly point to explain to us the way, maybe he is as there are so many world famous people could live in Paris and proud, maybe also for we have the same interests. But anyway, my mind is very grateful to the people of France. I also remember those graveyard dead souls, I will always remember the old alive France friends.This is why I put this day as France travel cards.

St. Basil’s Cathedral in Moscow Russia
Tuesday, April 12, 2011The Cathedral provides a strong religious symbolism and is based on architectural designs found in Jerusalem. Eight of the domes make a circular form around the ninth dome, forming a star (if viewed from the top). The number eight is considered an auspicious number according to Jewish calendar. There is a deep contrast between the interior and the exterior of the Cathedral. The interior contains modest decorations and is not that spectacular. The corridors inside are narrow and don’t have adequate space for worshippers seating.
Many times in history, the Cathedral has suffered damage due to violent communal incidents. If stories are to be true, the French ruler Napoleon wanted to take St. Basil back to France with him, but due to the lack of such technology, he ordered his army to destroy it so that no one else could occupy the church. His army had prepared to attack the church and had also lit up the gunpowder, but a mysterious rain shower prevented the explosions. These are legends, but people really believe in St. Basil’s mysterious powers and there are a lot of committed worshipers.
