Napoleonland? I bet the Brits will be first in the queue for that theme park!

Luca Low January 22nd, 2012

Most of us think it’s farcical, dated and purely anecdotal. There are others, however, who enjoy subscribing to the belief that the two countries simply do not get on.

So I ask, where do you stand on the unrelenting and sometimes bitter Anglo-Franco rivalry?

Whatever your personal views, there’s no doubt the news that trickled out of France at the close of last week will have raised an eyebrow, or two. Maybe a giggle. Perhaps even both.

The construction of an £180 million theme park, intended to rival Disneyland Paris in attraction and popularity, is being planned in France as an ode to the country’s colourful former military leader, Napoleon Bonaparte.

The proposed name of this encyclopaedic amusement park? ‘Napol

Images: Neon Boneyard | Las Vegas, Nevada

Angelina Pulsford January 19th, 2012

Some people say that Las Vegas has no history because city officials are quick to tear down anything that isn’t new, shiny and flashy. If it belongs to yesteryear, then it doesn’t belong in Las Vegas … or so the thought goes.

But everything ends up somewhere, and in Sin City, that place is the Neon Boneyard. Run officially by the non-profit organization that manages the Neon Museum, the Neon Boneyard is the showcase piece of all that has been in the city.

Berlin is an ever-changing hub of revitalization

Angelina Pulsford January 17th, 2012

More than any other place in Europe, Berlin is a work in progress. Over the last two decades, ripped-up tracks and a canopy of cranes have signaled its rebirth as a great city. If you haven’t been here lately, you won’t recognize the place.

In the early 1900s, Berlin was an avant-garde cultural capital—think cabarets and Marlene Dietrich. But then came Hitler. After a difficult 20th century, today’s Berlin is proudly stepping up to retake its place as Europe’s powerhouse. Since German reunification 20 years ago, the city has gone on a building frenzy, wasting no time in refashioning itself. When the Wall fell, East Berlin was a decrepit wasteland, but these days, the vibrant pulse of the city is steadily drifting eastward.

Phuketindex’s Top tips for parents flying with kids

Luca Low January 15th, 2012

As hundreds of thousands of families prepare to jet off on their holidays, Phuketindex has prepared a list of top tips for flying with children.

If you plan to take your own car seat for the flight, check with your airline before travelling to make sure the seat fits the airline’s criteria, as different airlines have different requirements. Before your child’s first flight in their own seat, sit them on the sofa at home with a cushion between you as the armrest, explaining how it’s going to be on board. Take a small compact travel pushchair for easy cabin stowage onboard – regular sized pushchairs or strollers will normally have to go as hold luggage. Pack their favourite teddy, pillow or comfort blanket – to help them get to sleep more easily and make it feel more like home. Sometimes
