Europe, France
To see what is really going on in the world of fashion you must visit France. We guide you to Galeries Lafayette in Haussmann 40, blvd Haussmann, Paris. Every Friday, beginning from March 14th, you can be a part of 30 minutes fashion show which take place on 7th floor in the Salon Opera. The show will be presented by a team of six professional models who will show you the latest trends by the most famous designers. The English commentary will be included, so you won't be lost in translation or even worse, have silent picture.
If ladies will not have anorexic look you and your partner will get true picture how particularly model will look on you. On the other hand your mirror will bend of smiling when you get home.
Europe, Poland
Another kind of beauty waits for you if you visit Warsaw, Poland. Wilanów Palace in Warsaw with its park is one of the most precious monuments of Polish national culture. It has been built in the last quarter of the 17th century by Italian architect Agostino Lotti for the Polish king John III Sobieski. Three parks surround Wilanów Palace on 43 hectares and when you perambulate all 43 hectares you will realize that being the king is sometimes very demanding job. Wilanów Palace people used to call "little Versailles". It is a zero class monuments by UNESCO.
You can visit it daily, except Tuesdays, or walk through the park from 9.00 until dusk. Very fashionable and healthy at the same time.
Europe, Croatia
I can suggest you where to go where you are abroad, the hardest thing is what to suggest you when you come to Croatia. Like every southerner I am emotionally bounded to everything in my country. But I find one place that demand of you just to have good hearing. Short story: Hungarian king Bela IV saved his head by Tatars (Turkish solders) in Zagreb, 1242. To thank to citizens of Zagreb for hospitality and for life he leave them one canon under condition to fire from it every day not to get rusty. We took him very seriously and from that day until now that particular canon fires every day to announce noon.
So, if you are on Ban Jelacic square at noon, hold your pants because you will die of fear. Our pigeons used to canon fire usually fly few centimetres from the ground. And if you wish to visited canon you are welcome. It will cheer up the man who do this job for more than 30 years.
Europe, Spain
Long nights on island of Ibiza sometimes can be very exhaustive. Moving from club to club may become boring very soon. Pacha is one of the few clubs which keep its doors open all year round. And if it is true that several of the UK's best known promoters choose Pacha as a venue for their very own brand of fun, we are sure that we give you good hint. Ibiza's club Pacha is famous by wild parties, which remind me on Croatian's Pasha club here (one letter is the difference) in Zagreb. Our Pasha is famous by frequent police visits. It hosts very troublesome characters, to say that politely.
Ibiza's Pacha has a capacity of over 5000 people (thanks Lord our doesn't) and it is splitted on a levels with dance floors, numerous cushioned corners and lot of palm trees. Nice place to spend the night.
March 8 - 16, 2008
Americas, USA
Hillary Clinton Democratic presidential nominee won 33 percent of votes in Illinois on February 5. Bad score, indeed. As a trademark of Chicago city at least by her roots she didn't get trust of Illinois voters. And we conclude that Illinois voters are very hard to satisfy. However, we decided to invite them all on BELGARD Chicagoland Flower & Garden Show on March 8, through Sunday, and on March 16, 2008. Very interesting news is that even two new major features debut on this year show: a Home Lifestyle Expo and a two-day art show with more than 70 artists (March 8-9).
you feel that you still must think twice before you go, all right. You can choose to visit some other show which suits you more. ■
