For a successful business day
Europe, France
You are bored while staying in a common hotel with "ordinary" rooms? Try to stay in Le Bellechasse in Paris.
In which way it is so different than the other hotels? Well, it offers colorful atmosphere and everything you can expect from Lacroix. After one night in Le Bellechasse your "battery" will be full for everything you imagine.

Good presentation is half of the job and you are the master of it. How are you with communications in your family? Well... you remember better days. Did we use speaker skills only for business and hope that problems in home will be solved without too much talking? As a woman I can say no. Life is everyday talking and mix of problems and solutions. If you feel comfortable with listening and at the some time wiling to please your family, visit Montreal.
The Quebec Intercultural Storytelling Festival is the place with more than 100 storytellers from Quebec, Canada and the world. How that event will improve your life? You know, the family is your best project. On the way home you will find out that you have more new themes for talking and maybe even your teenager will not think that you are boring parent.
For self-confident look
Americas, Argentina
Autumn is the best season for buying jackets. Argentina has excellent leather, the soft, almost buttery to touch, that feels fine to wear and fine to look at. If you are in Buenos Aires buy some new pieces and look like a star. Leather factories will tailor any leather item - from the type of leather you want, the color you want, the style you want and in your size. Of course, you can take leather to a tailor you prefer.
It takes only a day and sometimes only a few hours if your plane is leaving. Calle Florida is the well-known mall-like pedestrian only street, nine blocks long, and overflowed with leather shops and chic boutiques from around the world including famous Harrods. Dignity yourself, especially if you are planning a trip to Montreal. ;-)

Europe, Ireland
Kinnitty Castle is a neo-gothic castle property, which dates back to the 10th century located in the middle of Ireland. Castle operates currently as an exclusive small hotel but it can be easily adapted for other purposes, including residential. If you are planning an event like wedding or just meeting with friends, spend a day or two in that peaceful historic place walking or riding. Who knows, maybe after beautiful weekend you decide to buy it because it is still for sale. ■
