Arty Things to Do in Rome this Summer!

Author + July 25th, 2008 + no replies

If you aren’t sure how to start planning your Rome Summer Holiday, then start with the Museo delle Mura on via di Porta San Sebastiano, 18. Here you will find an exciting new installation by Huang Rui called “Beijing 2008: Time, Animals, History.” Until November 23rd.

This piece was created specifically for the Museo delle Mura by this Chinese avant-garde who gathered his inspiration from the large stone Rome accommodation buildings and monuments in Rome. The work is specifically a striking piece made from 2,008 bricks collected from the “hutong” neighbourhoods in Beijing, old quarters which are being demolished to create new developments for the Olympics. Bound to make you think about the current climate surrounding the Beijing Olympics, this installation represents what is happening all over the world all the time, demolishing the old to bring in shinier and new.

The soul of the show is its Eastern chronological articulation, which sees time as a perpetual cycle of long temporal cycles, whereas in the West time is a succession between one number and the next with no sense of continuity. Each of the 2,008 bricks features a western numeral (from 1 to 2008) and a date taken from the Chinese calendar, as well as the name of the emperor of that time. The bricks are further organised by Chinese zodiac signs and animal spirits. The exhibition is open Tue-Sun with and entrance fee of €3 and reduced rate for children €1,5.

Further more, there are plenty other installations to see in Rome this Summer, the question is, how are you going to fit in all of them?! There are plenty of Rome hotels and Rome apartments nearby. In Castel Sant’Angelo at lungotevere di Castello, 50, this summer you will find the striking exhibition of “Egypt in Rome from history to myth”. This exhibition is running from 28 June to 28 Oct and seeks to highlight the relationship between two of the greatest civilizations that ever were; the Romans and the Ancient Egyptians. The link between these two civilizations is powerful. The high number of obelisks and many Roman artefacts show how Roman art was profoundly influenced by Egyptian art. The artists of the Renaissance also gleaned their inspiration from the ancient prophets, the Great Hermes Trismegisto for example, and the fascinating and mysterious hieroglyphics of ancient Egypt. The Borgias wanted the story of Egyptian deities painted on the ceilings and walls in their rooms in the Vatican and Raphael used a semblance of Artemis Ephesia (thinking her to be Isis) on the ceiling of the Vatican’s Stanza della Segnatura. An intense passion for Egypt was rife throughout the 18th century onwards and has continued on until the present day; the Americans wanted a pyramid on their dollar bill and the French unveiled the mysteries of the hieroglyphics. This exhibition is open from Tue to Sun, 09.00-19.00 and the entrance price is €5 plus an exhibition fee.

Overdrive Transmission

Author + July 24th, 2008 + no replies

Everyone loves to go fast but sometimes their cars just won’t let them go very fast. To get over this problem you can use your overdrive transmission to give you more speed you will have to watch out. Any car that has not been prepared for this role is going to have problems coping with this. Therefore you should take things slow until you get a second opinion.

Well your mechanic will let you know if test driving your car will help to identify the problems that the overdrive transmission is causing. With no problems in sight the only thing that you can really do is to take the car out for some serious test driving. As you change the gears listen to see if you can detect any types of problems.

This testing of the car will take some time but it is for a good cause. Otherwise how can you tell if you are driving a safe car? You did let your friendly mechanic know that if something happens they are to find some way of getting you out of the car right? Well before you start panicking badly you should wait to see if you are going to be in trouble.

As you go through the various laps do a mental check to see if you are hearing the overdrive transmission working just the way it should for each gear change.

Travel Off-Peak Season

Author + July 23rd, 2008 + no replies

Timing is best factor in achieving the travel deal you desire. If you want a cheaper flight, schedule it during travel off-peak season. For example, if you want to travel to Europe simply for vacation and not after celebrations and festivals, don’t target dates where you have to rub shoulders with other travelers. Remember that during peak seasons, demands are high. As a consequence, air travel tickets, hotel accommodations, restaurant reservations, are rentals, and everything in the middle goes nowhere but up. Traveling during this season means high travel cost.

The Real Sights to See in Rome

Author + July 18th, 2008 + no replies

When you think of Rome, what do you think of? We all know the stereotypical sights to see in Rome; the Coliseum, Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps and I know a lot of guides tell you to give these a miss, to delve ‘beneath the surface’ of tourist Rome, but I am worried that we travelers are going to miss out on exactly what makes Rome; it’s fantastic architecture and it’s beautiful monuments, these really are the reasons we go to Rome in the first place and we mustn’t forget this. Read on if you want to rediscover the real gems of Rome as I know them.

The truth is, Rome really is all it’s cracked up to be and so much more… Known as the Eternal City with good reason, it’s possible to find food at 4 in the morning, people are still out enjoying themselves, eating, drinking and socializing in the city’s bars and restaurants. It’s just the kind of place that you don’t want to leave. Piazza Novona is perfect for finding bars and restaurants and there is an abundance of Rome accommodation too.

What I find great about Rome is that you can never ever feel alone. There´s just far too much going on in the city. Take for example the Trevi fountain. There are always people swarming around this fountain whatever time of year you decide to visit it. Magnificent to look at, the Trevi fountain is seriously a masterpiece and I’d even say it looks more impressive at night than it does in the day. For all you romantics out there, the Trevi fountain is great to propose – lots of people do it right in front of the fountain in the square! The history behind the Trevi Fountain as far as I know is thus; The fountain at the juncture of three roads (tre vie)marks the terminal point of the “modern”Acqua Vergine, the revivified Aqua Virgo, one of the ancient aqueducts that supplied water to ancient Rome. In 19 BC, supposedly with the help of a virgin, Roman technicians located a source of pure water some 13 km (8 miles) from the city.

The coliseum is possibly my favourite place to visit in Rome. Centrally located with lots of Rome apartments and Rome hotels nearby, the Coliseum is one of the most exciting places to visit, I certainly felt just about as close to experiencing Roman times as it’s possible to get. What surprised me the first time I went to the Coliseum when I was about ten was the thought that animals would have been roaming around underneath the coliseum in the cages and stables before being brought up to the main stage to rip some poor man to shreds. The colosseum was originally capable of seating around 50,000 spectators, and used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles. It remained in use for nearly 500 years with the last recorded games being held there as late as the 6th century.

No matter where you go in Rome this summer, make sure you go somewhere that you won’t forget. It’s fair enough if you enjoy doing things like visiting a soap factory, or having a trip to the local water park, but believe me, you won’t get the exhilarating feeling that you’re experiencing a bit of Roman history.

Il Gelato di San Crispino (Via Della Panetteria 54, near the Trevi Fountain), is said to serve the best Gelato in Rome. Although the ice cream served there isn´t very extravagant, (they don´t believe in serving ice cream with cones for example), the ice cream is of the highest standard, as the ice cream makers believe that pure ice cream served in a simple pot with a spoon is the best way to maintain the flavour. The two brothers who founded the shop are said to make the ice cream with with free range eggs and 20 year old Marsala and their most celebrated flavours are Pistachio, Chocolate with liqueur, and Zabaione…

The Fassi business dates back to 1880, when it started as a commercial premises authorized to sell and serve beer. Now however, the shop has a nostalgic air of 1930s glamour, with newspaper clippings, a big cooler and vintage parlour chairs. Certainly a must see on the Italian ice cream authenticity tour. Close to the parlour you will find lots of Rome hotels, which is useful as it isn´t far from the main train station.
Fonte della Salute (Viale Trastevere. 06/5897471) serves about 50 flavors, as well as a wide variety of frozen yogurt. Its location on the corner of Viale Trastevere provides a seating area that most gelaterias don’t offer.
Della Palma (Via della Maddalena 20/23, Pantheon. 06/68806752) is close to the Pantheon on a street just north of the Piazza della Rotonda. It serves 100 flavors of gelato.
remeria Monteforte (Via della Rotonda 22, Pantheon. 06/6867720), which has won several awards for its flavors. Try its chocolate sorbetto - an icier version of the gelato.
Al Settimo Gelo (Via Vodice 21/a, Vatican. 06/3725567), in Prati, praised for its traditional flavors and exciting concoctions.

Replacing the battery in your shiny new hybrid car is not the same experience most Americans have been through at least once in their lives.

It won’t cost $50 either. In fact, it may cost you $2,000 or more. Find out why, and whether or not that’s a fair price to pay at www.WeMakeHybrids.com.

Finance Your European Holiday

If you are like many practical travelers, you might plan to supplement or even completely finance your European holiday by working there temporarily. There are many great advantages to mixing work and travel. You get to see an inside view of the country you’re working and living in that you wouldn’t see if you were just a tourist. If you happen to vacation in a non-English speaking country, you’re sure to practice a new language and learn something substantial from the local culture. What often happens though, is that you’ll end up like many other travelers working long hours for relatively little pay.

Travel insurance is often advertised by banks, credit card companies, chemists, supermarkets, coach companies, airlines, retail shops and the Post Office. On the surface it may seem adequate, but open the box and look a little deeper inside. Compare the levels of cover they offer against a good, comprehensive, policy and you’ll find that pieces of the puzzle may be missing. They are often the vital corner pieces too. For example, you may find there’s no cover for lost luggage, or the cover only extends to excursions organized by their tour operator or rep.

Author + June 24th, 2008 + no replies

Although forms of hypermiling have been around since World War II, the trend of gaining as much gas mileage as possible from your vehicle is once again becoming popular. With on-line forums spouting tips such as coasting with your engine off, increasing the amount of air in your tires, or driving extra slow on the highway, these modern day road warriors are struggling to get as much bang for their buck as possible. Some people believe these cash-conscious renegades are using techniques too dangerous for the road, such as drafting other cars, but many hypermilers say safety is their number one issue. Either way, with gas prices rising and the growing concern of global warming, hypermiling will only get more popular.

An all-inclusive vacation is when you are paying a set price to get a “package” deal for your vacation. This means that things like meals are included in the purchase price. Is this a savings? Well sometimes it can be but truthfully it usually isn’t. I have found that you can get stuck paying for a lot that you will not even have time to do on your vacation. I would suggest looking at what you want to do on the vacation, and pricing those things separately before going the all-inclusive route.
