Trotzdem eine nette Übersicht über mögliche Ziele. ( ) volumed42 May 1, 2019 As someone who loves history and historic places and structures, I loved this book. ( ) dianawr Nov 29, 2018 A nonfiction travel diary concept book. Thus 974 page book is a must have for everyone and everybody. You may not get to travel to these places because someone stole your funds to enrich themselves, but you can travel to them through this 'travel destination 'concept book'. The author Patricia Schultz has a career assisting people who travel as a writer for Frommer's Berlitz. This travel guide and reference material book has two destination article and at least one black and white photo on every page. This is a great stocking stuffer, for all ages. Just open to page 555 and there in a photo journal scrapbook form you will find YAP, THE DARLING OF MICRONESIA. Most of us do not believe we will ever travel to what appears to be a literary creation like the mythological Atlantis. However, Micronesia is a genuine place and a unique country of thousands of islands. YAP is where you go to swim with giant 1000 lb Manta Rays. Turn to page 470 and find THE BLUE VOYAGE of Bodrum and Marmaria of the Lycian Coast, Turkey to learn about the 'Turkish Riviera'. Turn to page 440 and find a Whirling Spectacle of Tradition in the PARO FESTIVAL of Paro Bhutan, and discover how Bhutan has ended isolation from the outside world and learn of the 'tsechus' its colorful traditional festival. What a fascinating destination. Turn to learn how to truly be Bohemian and not a witchy Bohemian wannabe of the USA's derivative imitation. Bohemia is in the Czech Republic and a living Bohemian village can be found in Cesky Krumlov where a genuine Bohemian town still operates. The book suggest really experiencing it in the off season. Do you know what the Hague is. Sure you have heard references to 'The Hague' which is a metropolis in the Netherlands. It has a very popular destination called The North Sea Jazz Festival. We have all heard in our crisis ridden world of the literal bomb attack on Christmas that happened in 2016.Turn to page 125 and find Christkindlmarkt located in Munich. I agree with the quote found on that page 'Munich is a german dream translated into life' .. 'during Advent...Bavaria turns into a three dimensional Christmas'. Those of another religion did not enjoy Germans enjoying their culture and religion and blew holiday well wishers up. Sad, very sad. If you don't want to cross the Atlantic, but want to experience German Austrian and Swiss Christmas, your strong dollar can be enjoyed in depressed Argentina . Turn to page 813 one of the many mountainous places I could have hidden away in. Bariloche In Argentina is where you can enjoy swiss and alpine chalets with austrian cuisine served up in this old world ski resort. The treasures in this book are never ending, and even planning an escape to one of these 1000 places, is an escape from this dreary place of lauded criminals we call the USA. ( ) Tarasusan May 3, 2017 This book was very informative. The pictures are great and the information is very helpful. I dont think they could have given someone with travel in mind any more information. This will be standard for all my trips in the future. I received this book in a giveaway, so thanks to the author or publisher... ( ) xuqt2006 Jun 11, 2016 Showing 1-5 of 38 (next show all) ▼Published reviews Belongs to Series▼Common Knowledge

In June 1957 I was on holiday in the Dutch city The Hague on the coast of the North Sea. One day I saw an announcement on a billboard saying:
Asta Casino The Hague Convention
Asta Casino The Hague Hotel
During the Holland Festival (and Filmweek The Hague 1957) the Philips Company will give a demonstration of their new 70mm projector. The announcement said: Kurhaus Cabaret Scheveningen from 14 till 23 June: 'HET WONDER VAN TODD-AO' ('The Miracle of Todd-AO'). A film demonstration of revolutionary significance. Curved screen along the whole width of the auditorium. Film width 70mm. Stereophonic sound. Equipment especially placed by Philips.

I was triggered by the announcement, being a fan of CinemaScope films like 'Trapeze' (1956), with Burt Lancaster, Tony Curtis and Gina Lollobrigida making her debut in American films, 'Rose Marie' (1954), the first CinemaScope film from MGM, 'Et Dieu crea la Femme', (1957), with Brigitte Bardot dancing the famous Mambo dance, 'How To Marry A Millionaire', with Marilyn Monroe, Betty Grable and Lauren Bacall and 'Island in the Sun' (1957), with Harry Belafonte singing my famous title song This is my Island in the Sun, where my people have toiled since time begun. So I decided of course to visit the 70mm demonstration and it was really overwhelming what I saw there: a 70mm film on a large slightly curved screen from wall to wall and from floor to ceiling in this special equipped theatre for this ten days event. They screened one reel of 'Oklahoma!' and the 70mm demo “The Miracle of Todd-AO”. I had never seen anything like it, such a sharp image and also on such a large screen!
Later that same year in August I saw the complete version of the musical 'Oklahoma!' in the 35mm CinemaScope version. And in December 1957 in Amsterdam the 35mm print of Mike Todd's 'Around the World in 80 Days'. He had rented the Amsterdam Nöggerath Cinema for one year to screen his film exclusively only there. He had it equipped with a large slightly curved screen so it looked like 70mm projection. The film there was such a success that it ran some more months after one year. But the next year was the year of the famous Expo World Fair 1958 in Brussels. I visited it for one week and saw:
• 'The American Horizon' in Circarama 11x 16mm projection. Another amazing experience.
• 'Vaste est mon Pays', the Russian version of Cinerama: Kinopanorama 3 x 35mm in the Russian pavilion!
• 'This is Cinerama' and 'Seven Wonders of the World' in a special built cinema for the Expo with 3 x 35mm projection on a great curved screen.
I was really surprised to see all these beautiful movies in one week. However I did not realise what an influence it should have in my later life. But the surprises went on, in September of the same year I visited the famous Photokina exhibition in Cologne in Germany and saw Cinetarium, a 35mm projection on the bottom of a silver ball, that resulted in a 360 degrees projection around you. It was surprising but has not been released further. Then in 1960 in July was the opening of the Scala Cinerama in Rotterdam and I hurried to see 'This is Cinerama', which I had seen already in Brussels. That same year in August another cinema in The Netherlands (Parade in Den Bosch) had been equipped with the Philips DP70 and they screened 'The Miracle of Todd-AO' in 70mm and 'The Miracle of Stereophonic Sound' a very nice 35mm CinemaScope short. And the year went on: in October I saw 'Can-Can' in Asta The Hague, also just equipped with the Philips DP70 projectors. And in December in Metropole The Hague: 'Ben-Hur', In Luxor Nijmegen: 'The Miracle of Todd-AO' and in December I visited Paris and saw in the Ambassade 'The Alamo' in 70mm! What a year, but of course I thought it was normal to see so many 70mm presentations.
1961 was another great 70mm year in The Netherlands: in Vreeburg Utrecht: 'Can-Can' for the second time. In Cinerama Rotterdam: 'Seven Wonders of the World', which has now become my favourite Cinerama movie! In April I visited DuMidi Amsterdam for 'Spartacus' in 70mm. Then Corso Rotterdam, a beautiful cinema, especially rebuilt for 70mm: 'Porgy and Bess'. Back to Luxor Nijmegen to watch 'South Pacific' in Todd-AO and in August I visited the Casino Cinerama in London for 'Search for Paradise' and Astoria, London for 'Exodus' in 70mm. Then back to The Netherlands for 'Cinerama Holiday' in the Cinerama Rotterdam and finally the Russian 70mm movie 'Story of the Flaming Years' in the Parade 70mm Cinema in Den Bosch.
Next year 1962 I visited 'El Cid' in 70mm in Flora Amsterdam and travelled in June again to London to see 'Seven Wonders of the World' again and again in the Casino Cinerama and 'South Pacific' in the famous Dominion theatre where it has been screened for 5 years. I should like to know how many 70mm prints they have used in those 5 years? Then back to The Netherlands for 'West Side Story' in 70mm in Grand Rotterdam on one of the last days of December .
In 1963 I visited again Cinerama Rotterdam for 'South Seas Adventure' and another day 'Porgy and Bess' for the second time in the beautiful Corso 70mm Cinema also in Rotterdam. In September of that same year “The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm' in the Empire Cinerama in Paris and back at home '55 Days at Peking' in the 70mm cinema Luxor Nijmegen. In 1964 again to London (!) where I visited the unique Circlorama 360 degrees cinema on Piccadilly Circus. It was the Russian version of Disney’s Circarama with a twenty minute travel film: 'Russian Roundabout'. And in the Coliseum London: 'It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad World'. Back to my home country to the Parade Cinema with the DP70 for a Todd-AO screening of 'Cleopatra'!
Next year only two 70mm movies in The Netherlands: 'Circus World' in Super Technirama 70) in Luxor Nijmegen and 'Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines' (Todd-AO) in Odeon in The Hague. In 1966: 'The Greatest Story Ever Told' in Ultra Panavison 70 on the curved screen of Cinerama Rotterdam and 'Khartoum' on the 70mm screen of Bellevue Cinerama Amsterdam. They had only 70mm equipment so no original Cinerama possibilities. 1967: 'The Sound of Music' in Luxor 70mm Nijmegen and a 70mm blow-up of 'Doctor Zhivago' in Bellevue Amsterdam. 1968: 'Doctor Dolittle' in Todd-AO in Flora Amsterdam. 'Around the World in 80 Days' in 70mm in Grand Rotterdam and 'Custer of the West' (Super Technirama 70) in Bellevue 70mm Amsterdam. 1969: 'The Great Race', a 70mm blow-up in Euro Cinema The Hague and 'The King and I' in Grandeur 70 in Luxor Nijmegen (Originally the second movie in CinemaScope 55).
1970 started with seeing 'Ben-Hur' (filmed with MGM Camera 65) in Du Midi Amsterdam on a normal 70mm screen and I went again to Paris for 'Goodbye Mr Chips', a 70mm blow-up in the Empire Cinerama and another blow-up of 'Marooned', on the large screen of Cinerama Rotterdam. But at last that year a real 70mm film 'Patton' (Dimension 150) in my home town Arnhem in the beautiful Rembrandt cinema with Cinemeccania 70mm Victoria projectors. It all ended for the time being in 1973 with a visit to London Casino Cinerama for 'Song of Norway' (Super Panavision 70), back to Rotterdam's real Cinerama theatre for the third time 'Seven Wonders of the World'. And for 'The Last Valley' in Todd-AO to Luxor Cinema, Nijmegen, for another screening of 'Can-Can' in Todd-AO in Euro The Hague and finally to Corso Rotterdam for 'Fall of the Roman Empire' (filmed with anamorphic Ultra Panavision 70 equipment). Two Cinerama movies and three 70mm movies in one year, Wow! All these seventy millimetre cinemas in The Netherlands have been closed or destroyed!
