And for this giant RER's distributor, it's still in French! Paris-La Défense , it should be simple! but we don't understand anything. We asked for help ! Among other things, there was an additional refinement: "with or without ticket valid for Paris", while we were in Paris. But it was for the return. And you had to keep your ticket so you could go out the RER. |
the cows are going to be milked themselves..
I saw a simplified version in a basque country village, but without the cows ! Unfortunately, it didn't work. voir "the food" |
is anguishing (clic !) 1,2,3 - 1,2,3; finally it's clear, except that we must also enter the license plate number of our car and pay. So far everything is - almost - normal.

 made in Germany and installed in a Palace in Abu Dhabi. |
This ticket dispenser is an audacity (2010).
failing to impose prostitutes on the sidewalk, the authorities in Bonn (Germany), have
developed this toll system.. The seven days of the week, for each night from 8:15 pm to 6 am, Prostitutes who work in institutions are legally taxed on other grounds. |

A comparable price, but it is at the seaside, in France, where we are well able to regulate the evidence, let alone offer a decent service in exchange. It is therefore not a question of sex, but of parking mobile homes. In pretty bad condition and out of order and out of order> Normal, what. Another failed experiment ? (France) |

In Quebec, under American influence, the first level is designated as the first floor, which is for the French the Note : one say "a 14-storey building", but "the 14th floor". The word storey is only for the number of floors/levels. |
- The direction of a wind is the one - The direction of a stream is the one |
This indication of the cardinal points is enough to turn many heads. The north is opposed to the west !! the rest is the same. The explanation is all oriental ! Turks used to associate black with north . In short, there is still a lack of understanding. More clearly, the Black Sea has taken this name because it is to the north, despite its pretty Mediterranean blue. |
This old headlight of the Strait of the Bosphorus, between Istanbul and the Black Sea, is one of the few hundreds which were built in Turkey under the impulse of a French navigator. He Became immensely rich, was called "Pasha", and built large houses on a hill of Tamaris (la Seyne sur mer, France)), the "villas Pasha" of today. He will end his days there. It is a place I know well, facing the peninsula of Saint-Mandrier. The rotation of these headlights is mechanical and its rotation is wound up manually. Broadcast TV FR3. |

We could imagine a few fishermen sitting on the edge of a dike, or on the edge of a boat. 
But there are many of them here, one against the other around the boat, sitting on a board.
I quote, "Fishing rods move up and down at a frantic pace. Tunas fly and fall right behind them into a hole". It is said to be the most environmentally friendly fishery in the world, avoiding as much fish stress as possible. After the take, in the hole, I don't know. |

A single line, but what a line ! "fishermen let a main line run for about fifty km and at regular intervals attach secondary lines equipped with bait. Every night, this boat "drops a thousand hooks adrift" (at night, albatrosses sleep!) It also means that the fish caught will be dragged, dying of exhaustion, for hours, but also that seabirds will swallow their hooks. A New Zealander, uses fabric coils that frighten them. And it also thaws its baits before starting its lines so that they disappear faster underwater. It also shoots bigeye tuna, which can weigh over three hundred kilograms, with a bullet. It must be said that New Zealand law imposes these methods in its territorial waters. |
I saw a much more astonishing case in the Var (côte d'Azur), where was sealed deep in the ground a giant pot, weighing a ton or more, posted along a pedestrial narrow lane, edging a cliff overlooking the sea. |

A small tree, which wouln't deserve a special award, but looking closer, one sees that its owner love it very much, and chained it. Click ! In fact, these moorings are now everywhere for everything is disappearing. |
The sealed chain attached to bar table foot embrace two folding chairs.. Modest driftwood decors, placed in the middle of a double track road, do not escape this precaution! |
Now on, we chain everything, everywhere, even vehicles.. Amazing, but clever, it's worth lookind at
"vehicules".
I am far from having seen it all: hereafter, : |
(*) This hotel is classified as historical monuments of NY, because the boss at the time, Stanley Bard, were greeting freely some people in difficulty.
He so housed for two years freely without knowing it, Milos Forman, Czech film director.
The hotel became famous as the film director stayed there for another three years despite his financial success (Taking Off, 71 - flying over a cuckoo's nest).
Forty years later, he still went down to Chelsea and at it again, although the boss, after fifty years of creation of the legendary hotel, has been replaced.
Milos Forman is actually the largest shareholder. "Le Monde 2, January 2008, for the Chelsea Hotel.
On the model of Chelsea NY (*), they seek to customize the look and the rooms of some hotels to satisfy a demanding clientele in search of originality or emotion.
Thus, in Paris, a hotel just moved to the site of a bakery, which was frequented by some famous person.
They retained the representation of that place, in a sense of historic setting.
In Italy, one of them proposes nothing less than "Dante's Inferno" and one climb from the floors of the Paradise to the Hell - thing were a little embellished - with the adequate decor - hot - red and black.
Ecstasy or thrill in each room according to his own taste. I do not know if the Dante sentence - for the Hell - was reproduced at the entrance to the hotel : "Voi che entrate a qui, lasciate fuori le vostre speranze" (you who get in there, leave yours hopes outside), but relating to rooms's rates, it might be right.
I do not know where, but a hotel has chosen the theme of the prison, with cells as a bedroom. Bars and hard bench should be part of basic amenities. For anyone
newly released, the transition will be even sweeter.
In the USA, they offer true cells inside a true abandonned prison.

In Japan, there are hotels "at one hour"- having a legally storefront, and as nothing is simple there, the facades of some of them are quite surprising.
One is the coach of Her Majesty the Queen of England.
But I do not know what he has inside. Two of them deserve a particular attention : rooms designed from the car to the bus, or beds that rise to the ceiling or plunge in an aquarium.
On n'est pas en reste ailleurs, dont dans les pays nordiques, nordiques, et depuis la rédaction de cette section, on a vu à la télévision des salons pouvant être taillés dans des glaciers, ou encore bâtis en blocs de glace, qui offrent également des chambres.. réfrigérées.

- In the issue of a Radio France broadcast, they quoted a famous actor that has stuck to the ceiling, wall to wall, a view of New York by helicopter so lying upon the bed, he flews himself over the City !
- An architect living on the top floor near Montmartre realized he saw the Sacred Coeur by its skylight.
He cut a part of the roof, which was glazed, so that his bed, he can admire the breathtaking view.
- There are big round beds, and undoubtedly mechanical retractions style "James Bond"! .
Here we are, we have got running water supply.. but it's not thank to the postman as we might think |
