Die Kulturhauptstadt Europas 2023, Timişoara, einst Residenz des ungarischen Königs und Hauptstadt des Banats in der österreichisch-ungarischen Doppelmonarchie ist in den letzten Jahrzehnten ein wenig in Vergessenheit geraten. Zu Unrecht, denn hier nahmen viele Entwicklungen des Landes und Europas ihren Anfang. Timisoara hatte als eine der ersten Städte in Europa eine elektrische Straßenbeleuchtung und eine elektrische Straßenbahn. Die drittgrößte Stadt des Landes war Ausgangspunkt der rumänischen Revolution im Jahre 1989. Seit Beginn des neuen Jahrtausends geht es auch wirtschaftlich nach vorn. Eine wundervolle und von Deutschen, Österreichern, Ungarn sowie Serben geprägte Altstadt mit vielen historischen Gebäuden im Stil der Wiener Secession und des Barock, kleinen Gassen voller Restaurants und Cafés, in denen man freundliche und kommunikative Menschen trifft, gilt es zu entdecken. In den vielen Parks der Stadt kann man im Sommer die Seele baumeln lassen und auf einem der Bauernmärkte findet man Obst und Gemüse in einer Qualität und Frische, die in Deutschland kaum noch zu finden ist. Für alle, die auf der Durchreise mehr von Rumänien sehen möchten oder für einen Wochenend-Trip in die Stadt kommen ist dies genau der richtige Reiseführer mit den wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten und kleinen Geschichten über die hinreißende Stadt und ihre Menschen. Wie gewohnt gibt es in der Stop-Over Reihe die Paperback-Ausgabe in schwarz-weiß und das e-book mit Farbbildern.

On 16th December 1971, a new nation was born. Bangladesh, literally meaning the 'country (or land) of Bengal', came into being with a declaration of independence following nine months of liberation war. So, on 16th December 2021, the 'land of Bengal' will be celebrating its 50th Victory Day and the birth of its nation. Proud Bangladeshis from all walks of life both in the country and right across the world will come together to commemorate the occasion. It will no doubt be a time of reflection, remembrance and gratitude for the many people who lost their lives but there will also be those who wish to look forward reflecting on how far the country has come and what the future holds.The initiator of this book A K M Shahidul Islam grew up in Bangladesh but now lives in France and like many proud Bangladeshis wanted to do something to commemorate our 50th Victory Day. Mr Islam was a Tour Guide whilst studying in Dhaka for four years from 2010 to 2014. During this time, he had the opportunity to meet hundreds of guests in Bangladesh and to travel with them to all corners of Bangladesh many times. Mr Islam made lots of friends with people from different countries and they are all still in touch.To celebrate the happy moment together with Bangladeshi, Mr Islam invited his friends to share their memories of Bangladesh and its people to honour and give back to a community who offered them the best hospitality while they were at their beautiful homeland. Today, the patchwork pieces of a single bonding with friends met on the way, come together to create a rich quilt made of stories, images, emotions and vibrations. We are all proud to present you today the results of our collaboration. The 'Bangladesh@50: Through the Lens of Our Global Friends' book project consists of photographs and words that beautifully capture some unique perspectives on Bangladesh.Our memories of the country and its people are still alive today and this is strongly reflected in our short stories. These stories have all been written with love for Bangladesh and the very spirit of the book is aimed at connecting people in Bangladesh with each of the visitors.What's really interesting has been to note both the similarities and differences between the perspectives. People may have travelled to the same physical locations in Bangladesh, but their interpretation will be unique to them. In some ways, however, these unique individual experiences combine to present a complete picture of the experience of the country from the point of view of a visitor to Bangladesh.The book is available to purchase online on Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing worldwide and 50% of any proceeds will be used to promote selected cultural and heritage projects in Bangladesh. First and foremost, this is a project to commemorate the birth of Bangladesh. But if we can use it as a vehicle to give back, then that's great too but the main aim is to capture a unique perspective on Bangladesh to mark the 50th Victory Day event by bringing people together and making it available to all Bangladeshis and interested parties across the world. And at a time when separation and division increasingly threaten to define us, a project that unites us rather than divides us and a unique invitation to open up to different perspectives could just be the tonic that we all need right now.

Dakar Travel Guide, Senegal. African Tourism. Dakar is the capital of Senegal. It is a cosmopolitan city, lively very pleasant to visit. In 1857, the city of Dakar was built by the French on the site of a small fishing village. Then in 1902, it became the capital of the A.O.F in place of Saint-Louis. Each district has its colors, its charm and its animations. The nights in Dakois are very rhythmic. Downtown Dakar is very convenient for tourists, as it can be visited on foot. There are also many taxis called "Ndiaga Ndiate" and buses throughout the capital. The sandy beaches of Dakar are magnificent. In 1659, Louis Caullier founded the city of Saint-Louis in Senegal. At 260 km from Dakar, located on an island at the mouth of the Senegal River, Saint-Louis is a very rich city with a strong colonial past. In 1916, the Saint-Louisians were considered French in their own right. The same was true of people living in Dakar and Gorée, and so on. Saint-Louis is a very touristic city, because of its history, its culture and its beauty. It is classified as a World Heritage Site by Unesco. There are magnificent beaches, two famous national parks, colonial houses with colorful facades and the famous 500-meter-long Faidherbe bridge linking Saint-Louis and the Sor district. Dakar is a city of extremes, where horse-cart drivers chug over swish highways and gleaming SUVs squeeze through tiny sand roads; where elegant ladies dig skinny heels into dusty walkways and suit-clad businessmen kneel down for prayer in the middle of the street. Once a tiny settlement in the south of the Cap Vert peninsula, Dakar now spreads almost across its entire triangle, and keeps growing. For the traveller, there's much to discover, from peaceful islands just off-shore to vertiginous nightlife dancing to mbalax beats. You can spend your days browsing frenetic markets and taking in the sights of bustling downtown, followed by sunset drinks overlooking the crashing waves. At once both intimidating and deeply alluring, Dakar is a fascinating introduction to Senegal.

On the 4th of May, 2009, Roger and Megan set off from Astana, Kazakhstan, into the Eurasian steppe on their four-wheeled Quike -traversing the steppes at the heart of the Asian continent whilst facing a continual battle with both the physical elements and their psychological forces within. They ventured throughout Central Asia and Western China, away from cities and roads, living with local families in order to experience the unique cultures and lifestyles of the region - documenting their lifestyles and traditions before their stories are lost forever. Their 12-month journey took them through all kinds of terrain and conditions - from the vast and endless Kazakh steppe, to the relentless heat of the Uzbek summer, to the high altitude mountain passes of Tajikistan and the Kyrgyz Republic, and to the frozen wastelands of the Taklamakan desert in winter. Their mode of transportation being a pedal-powered, tandem, sociable recumbent quadracycle named Quikey - allowing them to venture into areas otherwise inaccessible by car, motor bike, or plane.

Porto Venerer, Cinque Terre, Italy. Europe, Italy Tourism and Vacation. Your first view of Portovenere will seem like travel magic. The old Ligurian town will appear like a romantic oil painting with that famous facade of tall, vividly colored buildings arranged on its promontory slope. This is the timeless picturesque fishing village that you've read about and dreamed of.oops, sorry folks, actually it was not built as a fishing village and nothing here is original. It's a fortified town and while it's really charming, every part has been rebuilt, often numerous times. Going back more than 2,600 years, Porto Venere* has been conquered, reconquered, destroyed, rebuilt, bought, sold, repurposed, and rebranded. The history will completely fascinate you. Italians love this wondrous place, and you'll see many more Italian tourists here than in Cinque Terre. The poet that captured the essence of the town in Italian was Nobel Prize winner Eugenio Montale a Ligurian for whom a local piazza is named. His poem 'Portovenere' from 1925 gave imagery to the feelings that a contemplative visitor senses. Here is one of earth's special places where land and sea and sky are trying to communicate with you.

Visitors will see large collections of paintings, weapons, work tools, utensils, jewellery, furniture, medals, historic documents, maps and other ethnographic and historic items. The Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania is an amazing example of medieval architecture. The building of the castle was started in the 15th century and lasted a few hundred years. The castle changed its owners several times, that's why it took so long to finish the construction. Today, the palace features amazing combination of renaissance and gothic styles, and visitors are welcome to see its beautiful halls and rooms, and listen to many interesting stories about the past of the building.
