As Georg Carstensen said in 1844, "Tivoli will never, so to speak, be finished," a sentiment echoed just over a century later when Walt Disney said of his own Tivoli-inspired theme park, "Disneyland will never be finished as long as there is imagination left in the world." Walt Disney during a trip overseas with his wife Lilly visited Tivoli

 I’ve noticed that it’s really hot in Dubai (when I was there the summer of 1990, it was about 117°F, 47°C), and what they crave is cold. So, in addition to the Ice Lounge (see previous post), Dubai now also has Ski Dubai, an indoor ski resort complex–the third largest indoor snow park in the world. The snow is real, although artificially produced.

 I know, I know - China was so last month! I have photos from Portugal, but unfortunately I brought neither power adaptor nor computer cable for my camera, so those images are still waiting to be processed. But here are some images from famous places in Beijing that I visited for the first time, or that I have not visited in 10 years. The first is the Temple of Heaven, conveniently located near my hotel (the one I stayed in after I
returned from Singapore). I call it the "Great Cookie Jar," because to me it does kind of look like a cookie jar. Plus, it's the place where the emperor and his retinue used to go to pray for good harvests. This building, the most famous Temple of Heaven building, is actually the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests.

In gratitude they decided to build a simple shrine and install a statue of the Madonna. The native Inca craftsman, Tito Yupanqui sculpted the image, made of dark wood and approximately four feet tall, in 1576. Placed in a
chapel in 1583, which was enlarged in 1619, the statue soon became famous throughout Bolivia and Peru as a miracle causing icon. The present cathedral, completed in 1805, is the most visited pilgrimage site in Bolivia
