Plan a Flight


I am going to plan a trip to the White House of Washington since I believe that there is n monument that the whole world should see at least once in his life. As everybody know it's an emblem of the North American politics, we can see it in films, pictures...

I'm going to spend a week there.

To book the plane tickets I searched in cheap tickets web site and I have had a lot of options http://www.cheaptickets.com/App/ViewFlightSearchResults?retrieveParams=true&z=9b8c&r=37&z=9b8e&r=39&lastPage=interstitial but I have chosen the more economic and practice option which is with the company Delta Air Lines. The friday 18 january you leave Barcelona at 9:35 am you have to stop in New York from 12:25 to 4:05 and finally you arrive to Washington at 5:59. The return is similar you have to go from Washington to New York (1:45 pm to 3:19), you have the plane to Barcelona at 5:10 and you arrived to Spain the 25 of january at 7:00 am. the totally of the travel is $294+ $341 taxes & fees =
$635 per person.

The same travel with a car cost $904 with taxes and fees included. Enjoy the travel.

Destination: Monaco


I have chosen Monaco as a destination. It's a small country and the principality's pleasant climate have made Monaco world famous as a tourist and recreation center.

Monaco is situated on the French Mediterranean coast, is a popular resort, attracting tourists to its casino. The state has no income tax and low business taxes and thrives as a tax haven both for individuals who have established residence and for foreign companies that have set up businesses and offices. It's visited for business men who want to improve their economy.

I think it's a glamorous country and the best stores of the world are situated there.

I would like to visit Montecarlo, the capital, its have a lot of entrainment places to see as casino, Montecarlo, opera Montecarlo...

The Société des Bains de Mer, a private company, in which the government now holds a majority interest has the principal hotels and clubs of the commune that serve the tourist trade.
I have visited the web site of greatest cities: http://www.greatestcities.com/ which offer you information about the city you are searching for. You can see technical information about the population, the coastline, the median age or useful information as the climate, the hotels, the travel.

Web Cams

I have visited the web site of woldLIVE and I saw the webcam os Andorra la Vella ( http://www.el-viking.com/) and I saw a beautiful landscape that is changing to show you the nicest parts of the city. You could see the white ski resorts, the little houses of stone that look like all equal...
I have chosen too the webcam of Budapest ( http://www.irisz.hu/webcam_hun.html) There offers you the image of a broad river blue that this surrounded with houses with orange roofs.
In the distance also you can see a magnificent white bridge for which there, pass the ships of great size. Also I have discovered that exist web cams of many types the one that has been called me the attention and is of the surf: http://www.surfrock.com/

I think the existence of these cameras allow you to see the world out of your city and without need to go out of your house. It is amazing that you could look the weather that it does in Moscow or look like one person surf in Australia.
The cameras more curious are those of the discovery channel in which you can observe to the animals in his live native ( discovery.com)
you can see since the behaviour of the elepanths or how a monkey eat. It's amazing and funny.

My favourite movie

One of my favourites films is the Ilusionist.The history is a chils who discovers that his passion is the magic and begins to practise tricks. A girl got fascinated of his tricks and between them bornt a incredible love. Coming from social different worlds the parents of the girl do not allow this love with a magician boy, who is not anybody, so they separate them, and then he decides to flee. Then the young man crossed half a world to finish finally in Vienna where he realizes a spectacle in a theatre that prompt turns into the whole phenomenon. To the spectacle of the illusionist the prince inheritor comes accompanied of his fiancé who is the infantile love of the magician. When they are known they are recognized and begins to live through a romance. The magician begins now a deception to be able to get away from the prince and be able to live with the love of his life. I like this movie because though it has adventures and mystery also has a history of love that is very nice.

How many trees are leveled each year???

I have find an amazing new about the undesirables mailings you received, 100 million trees are leveled each year to produce this publicity. This production and disposal of junk mail consumes more energy than 2.8 million cars and costs citizens and local governments hundreds of millions of dollars per year in collection and disposal fees.
http://www.newdream.org/about/mediaclips/emag110606.php
What we can do to reduce this catastrophe? Is anyone agreement with this extermination?
I not agree because as everyone know the amount of trees are reduced each moment in the world and trees are essential in human life. The Center of a New American Dream is working in some campaigns to try to eliminate your name and address from this bulk mail list. These companies received 125 million telephone numbers from people to eliminate their names from this list, three years later they haven't received an answer yet.

Apparel website and computers & electronics web site

1) http://www.scribd.com/doc/533030/SHOPPING-aDRIANA

2) I have visited the webs: bestbuy.com and buy.com which sell computers and electronics in the web and two webs of miscellaneous sellers too: walmart.com and sharperimage.com.
I have been investigating and looking at these webs and the products that offer are very new, so I thinks that people buy from Internet because the products are exclusives. Normally the prices are more reduction compared with the shops and in some webs they offered you the expenses of free sending and it encourages you to buy.
But the purchase in Internet has disadvantages too, since you risk buying a product without having seen it really and without having proved and tried it. It can arrived to you with damages.
Their policies of returning marchandise are flexes, you have the option of change the marchandise but until a few certain days and with too many requirements that they impede the return.
In conclusion buying in Internet has advantages but eventually not always you go out winning.
