CERCA DE LOS ÁNGELES HAY HERMOSAS PLAYAS
Viajar a la ciudad de Los Ángeles también es conocer y bañarse en las mejores playas del planeta, muchas de ellas llenas de surfistas, y con sus míticos embarcaderos californianos. Los Ángeles tiene unas playas impresionantes que seguro te van a dejar boquiabierto. Si vas a viajar a Los Ángeles es casi una obligación ir a visitar las famosas playas de Malibú o Santa Mónica.
LOS ÁNGELES, LA CIUDAD DE LAS COMPRAS
Si vas de viaje a Los Ángeles podrás encontrar las mejores marcas de ropa, ropa de lo más glamorosa y lujosa, porque si viajas a Los Ángeles vas a encontrar una de las capitales de la moda llena de centros comerciales, tiendas, outlets y mercaditos. Si vas de compras por Los Ángeles puede que te encuentres con algún famoso a la misma tienda dónde te estás probando unos zapatos…
PORQUE ES UNA CIUDAD DE CONTRASTES
Si vas a viajar a Los Ángeles lo primero que te va impresionar son sus contrastes; un Downtown lleno de rascacielos impresionantes y de gran capital económico. Al lado, un Chinatown caótico y desorganizado con un encanto especial. Viajar a Los Ángeles te va a permitir conocer esta esencia americana de la mezcla de culturas, dónde el castellano se ha vuelto casi el idioma oficial de Los Ángeles. Viajar a Los Ángeles es caminar por calles llenas de tráfico y justo el lado encontrar la más hermosa zona peatonal para pasear tranquilamente.
¿QUÉ VISITAR EN EL CENTRO DE LOS ÁNGELES?
El Ayuntamiento de Los Ángeles: Este emblemático edificio ha quedado registrado en infinidad de producciones cinematográficas, entre ellas la conocida película de Spiderman. El Ayuntamiento de Los Ángeles fue el primer rascacielos de la ciudad y se construyó en 1928. Tiene 32 plantas repartidas en sus 138 metros de altura. Hasta finales de los sesenta fue el edificio más alto de Los Ángeles, ya que, debido a los terremotos, no se atrevían a construir edificios más altos. En 1978 el Ayuntamiento fue elegido como Monumento Histórico Cultural de Los Ángeles. El Ayuntamiento de L.A se encuentra en Spring Street y se puede entrar a visitar de forma gratuita de lunes a viernes de 09.00 a 17.00 horas. Solo por las vistas que ofrece de la ciudad ya recomendamos su visita.
¿Cuándo viajar a Los Ángeles? La mejor época del año para visitar Los Ángeles es de marzo a mayo, pero también es buena época entre los meses de septiembre y noviembre. Durante estos dos períodos, el ambiente es suave y la masificación turística es menor. Las temperaturas medias durante estos meses oscilan entre los 15 y los 22 grados, lo que permite visitar las atracciones al aire libre sin padecer frío ni calor. Por el contrario, si estás buscando las mejores ofertas y precios en alojamiento más económicos, tu mejor momento para viajar a Los Ángeles es durante el invierno, de diciembre a febrero. Eso sí, no te olvides del paraguas, pues durante el invierno las lluvias son frecuentes.
Te llevamos a conocer Los Ángeles, reservando ya en booking.mamutrip.com o a través de mamutrip.com.ar/
We made a short notice booking to Copenhagen, Jayne had the first week in September booked off and we wanted to try and do a city break. Five nights hardly seemed enough but the short flight was ok. We flew over home heading east on a beautiful morning. I love flying over an area that I know and being able to see it from above. We had been warned that Copenhagen was expensive-it was! I hadn’t done any research before we set off but on the flight over, I read that taxis were expensive, so it was best to use the Metro from the airport, it isn’t far in to the city and the Metro was fairly easy to use. However! We should have caught the train, I read this whist we were sat on the Metro it has to be said! The nearest Metro stop, which I was frantically trying to work out, using my phone, travelling in and out of tunnels, turned out to be a 1.5 mile walk from our hotel, the rail station was .5. Never mind we were there to walk-subject to my lately diagnosed arthritic ankle, we just didn’t want to be towing suitcases over cobbled pavements at the same time.
We were staying in the Tivoli Hotel which was described as central, it is near Central Station but you wouldn’t describe it as central to the city. Our room wasn’t ready but we could upgrade for a modest amount plus we realised it would be a good idea to include breakfast in the upgrade deal. A good move as it turned out. Our room overlooked the train lines-all twelve of them!! We could already hear train brakes squealing along with the thump thump of steel wheels rolling over points and joints. It’s true to say that Central Station is a 24/7 operation. The overnight noise didn’t bother Jayne but I could hear it all night.
We dumped our stuff and I loaded up with the backpack and camera and we were straight out there. Copenhagen is a relatively small city but there is a lot to see. We were soon finding out that it has an extensive network of canals and bridges and these are a major feature of life in the city. Pan flat, the cyclist rules, There appeared to be twice as many bikes as residents, with countless thousands propped up everywhere you went. Where ever you looked there was silent conveyor of sit up and beg cycles being ridden in all directions. You soon got used to looking over your shoulder before making a move. The vast majority of bikes are left unlocked and almost no one wears a helmet ( I’m a no helmet man, much to the annoyance of the helmet zealots). Copenhagen is reputedly the happiest place in the world and it certainly came across as friendly and relaxed. It is, though, one of the most expensive cities in the world and two burgers and two small glasses of wine at Nyhavn cost us £50. Comically, there were four people, local to us, shouting out Jayne’s name, they had seen us going past and we had a laugh about the prices, They were sat drinking beer at £8.50 a pint. Despite the expense, the place was packed with people parting with their money. Wages are very high locally, as are the taxes. The high wages and high costs must feed each other in an upward spiral I would have thought.
Unfortunately the cost of entering buildings to go up towers etc. for a higher view of the city was also very expensive (to us). The tower at Christiansborg Palace is free but restricted by the lift system and you don’t get to the top, it does also open later than the others so you have a chance of seeing sunset over the city. Unfortunately the lifts were out of order on one of our best weather days. We did get to go up the day after but it was dull and I wasn’t overly impressed. The spiral tower across in Christiana, The Church of Our Saviour, was far more impressive. We climbed the tower here just after it opened on a stunning morning and the views are fantastic. There will be incredible bottlenecks when it’s busy though on the corkscrew stairs that get progressively narrower towards the top. Some people hog it to take endless selfies at the top and it is extremely tight up there, you can’t move up until they come down.
As usual, we tried to get to some out of the way places, with only five days and mixed weather though we had enough mainstream destinations to see. We had a day of heavy rain so we went back to the rail station which was a good indoor (and free!) destination, and made umbrellas and the rain the focal point of that days photos. The entire Danish navy seemed to be at anchor, we just missed an open day on one ship. Some I could photograph, others were guarded and had restrictions, I got the evil eye from a couple of guards as the spotted the big Canon in my hand. I can’t imagine that they could police the Japanese and stop them from getting their photos and selfies though. I always act very openly with the camera and if people look at me suspiciously I smile and give them the thumbs up. In a rail station I usually ask the police. In Central Station the police were in their station and I never saw one move out, it is covered by extensive CCTV but there were some very unpleasant people, drinking and watching for people being careless with their belongings. We were lucky to be in the station on Sunday as a tourist steam train arrived, it sat at the platform belching smoke and steam for fifteen minutes, it was also coming back in an hour so we had an expensive coffee and waited to see it again. There was big military event outside the Christiansborg Palace on Monday, with a parade through the city that came past just as we were in a good spot to view it. The area was full of soldiers wearing their medals. We haven’t discovered the reason, although someone suggested a passing out parade for new recruits. Maybe the ships were in port for this as well.
Tivoli Gardens is another big draw and we went in, again it was fairly expensive, it had been a stunning day and the biggest problem was contrast, with deep shadows and a bright blue sky. We stayed until dark, it opens late and is very colourful. We went on the world’s highest carousel and got flung around 260 odd feet in the air. Luckily, we also found a bar that served wine at ‘only’ £5.60 a glass so we sat and watched people have fun screaming and shrieking above us.
There are many buildings with copper domes, entire copper roofs, even modern buildings are often clad in either brass or copper to blend in with the ancient buildings around them. Like every city we have visited, tower cranes are in abundance. There is a lot of development going on and unfortunately a lot of it is around buildings that you would want to photograph. We walked 12 to 14 mile every day and took in most of the sights. We didn’t really do any interiors, only towers and the railway station. At the time of writing I haven’t looked at what I’ve got, I have around 3000 shots, some on the G1X which I used when it was raining heavily as it easy to put in a pocket. I have a lot less time for editing these days so it will be a long process I think. To save time I am going to create a list of generic tags that I can copy and paste to each upload – the time saving is enormous – so apologies to anyone who gets a photo of a canal when they wanted a steam train or vice versa.

The project is characterized by the association of numerous instruments (sampler, synthetiser, bass, guitar, violin) including singing all performed by Edmond Eisenberg, with the finest electronic sounds selected by TVK. This alchemy is stressed by the contrast between a more classical approach and electronic music brought by the talent of the two artists.
TVK began music at the age of 7 playing the piano and studying general theory. Nowadays, he places himself as a talented, rising DJ. He began his career on the French Riviera and despite his young age, he has already played in different countries and venues.
Edmond Eisenberg is a rising musician and artist. He began piano at the age of 4, followed by the violin at 6. He then proceeded to learn bass, percussions, guitar, and singing.

In Central Station the police were in their station and I never saw one move out, it is covered by extensive CCTV but there were some very unpleasant people, drinking and watching for people being careless with their belongings. We were lucky to be in the station on Sunday as a tourist steam train arrived, it sat at the platform belching smoke and steam for fifteen minutes, it was also coming back in an hour so we had an expensive coffee and waited to see it again. There was big military event outside the Christiansborg Palace on Monday, with a parade through the city that came past just as we were in a good spot to view it. The area was full of soldiers wearing their medals. We haven’t discovered the reason, although someone suggested a passing out parade for new recruits. Maybe the ships were in port for this as well.
Tivoli Gardens is another big draw and we went in, again it was fairly expensive, it had been a stunning day and the biggest problem was contrast, with deep shadows and a bright blue sky. We stayed until dark, it opens late and is very colourful. We went on the world’s highest carousel and got flung around 260 odd feet in the air. Luckily, we also found a bar that served wine at ‘only’ £5.60 a glass so we sat and watched people have fun screaming and shrieking above us.
There are many buildings with copper domes, entire copper roofs, even modern buildings are often clad in either brass or copper to blend in with the ancient buildings around them. Like every city we have visited, tower cranes are in abundance. There is a lot of development going on and unfortunately a lot of it is around buildings that you would want to photograph. We walked 12 to 14 mile every day and took in most of the sights. We didn’t really do any interiors, only towers and the railway station. At the time of writing I haven’t looked at what I’ve got, I have around 3000 shots, some on the G1X which I used when it was raining heavily as it easy to put in a pocket. I have a lot less time for editing these days so it will be a long process I think. To save time I am going to create a list of generic tags that I can copy and paste to each upload – the time saving is enormous – so apologies to anyone who gets a photo of a canal when they wanted a steam train or vice versa.

EXCLUSIVE BOOKING FOR ITALY
Three brothers by the name of Ruven, Ilan and Shmuel Flaishler make up one of the hottest dance acts / DJ teams around the world these days. They are better known as the 'Flash Brothers', who are the hottest dance music export from Israel to date as well as frontrunners on the international dance scene. The Flash Brothers are true pioneers in the Israeli dance music scene with regards to progressive house, Progressive trance and electro 80's house music. They don't like to be put into one distinct category, rather they consider themselves to be underground dance music producers / performers. Their ambition, hard work, and massive chart success – e.g. 2004 summer anthem 'Amen' – have paid off, as this hotly tipped trio performs all over the world nowadays at some of the most prestigious clubs and biggest events.
One of the biggest highlights / steppingstones in Flash Brothers' career to date, came at the beginning of 2001. Two of the world's most prolific DJs, namely Paul Oakenfold (Perfecto Records) and John Digweed (Bedrock Records), embraced some of the Flash Brothers' releases and this consequently lead to signing some of these tracks to their respective labels. The Flash Brothers then broke into the UK market under the Flash banner with the release of 'The Days After / Megatron' through Perfecto Records in October 2001. The release was featured on compilations like 'Perfecto presents Paul Oakenfold Ibiza 2001' and the triple mix CD compilation 'Perfecto Collection'. From here on, the Flash Brothers gained international recognition and worldwide fame was the next thing on their agenda.
The Flash Brothers have released singles with some of the leading dance labels in the world, such as Oxyd, Direction (Sony/UK), Perfecto, Bedrock, Hooj Choons, Yoshitoshi and many more. Furthermore, they have been performing as a trio live act with their music for more than six years now. They have played already all over Israel at top clubs such as Haoman 17, TLV, Dome, Octopus, Pacha, Forum, Vertigo, Hata'asiya, Ultrasound, Ku, Vox, and so on. In addition, they've performed at open-air festivals in Israel as well, e.g. Love Parades 1999 to 2003 and Heineken's Sundance Beer Festival. Add to that many successful gigs together around the world in countries like Turkey, Hungary, Sweden, UK, Holland, Poland, Romania, Greece, Cyprus, Ibiza, Croatia, Italy, Ukraine, Czech Republic, Spain, Slovenia and tours throughout Asia. With ever gig, their popularity seems to keep growing among clubbers and fans that support them all the way.
The Flash Brothers enjoyed an outstanding 2004, with over 10 single releases on internationally renowned labels, including a remix of 'Who's that Girl' by Eurythmics, and a hot WMC Miami anthem called 'Amen'. The latter was originally released on Oxyd Records, which is a premier Italian house label, and from there on signed to Sony Music's major UK dance label Direction. 'Amen' was considered to be one of the top 20 dance anthems of the 2004 summer season in Ibiza, and got as high as no. 75 in the official UK pop charts. The smash hit can be found on no less than seven CD compilations in the UK, Canada and Italy, including Ministry of Sound's 'Summer 2004' and 'The Annual 2005'. On top of that, early 2004, the boys released a mix CD compilation called 'Flash Brothers present Fear of a Silver Planet 2' on Silver Planet Recordings, making them the first Israeli electronic music artists to release a mix compilation on a UK label. In addition, they also delivered a hot remix of Brad Carter's Ibiza 2004 anthem 'Morning Always Comes Too Soon' on top dance label Positiva Records, which is famed for releases by the Shapeshifters, Paul van Dyk, Deep Dish, Ferry Corsten, and many more. Furthermore, the Flash Brothers performed at many great clubs and high profile events in 2004, including the massive 2004 summer 'MTV Valkana Beach' festival, where they performed live on main stage with Paul van Dyk, Mauro Picotto, Richie Hawtin, and Felix da Housecat, to name but a few. On top of that, they also appeared for an interview on MTV's Dancefloor Chart show, where they played live and were interviewed by Becky Griffin, the host of the show. August 2004 saw the boys playing live at BBC Radio 1's party in Ibiza, and they joined Judge Jules live on the radio together with the fabulous vocalist of 'Amen' to perform the summer anthem 'Amen' live.
On top of that, the brothers were also prized as Israel's worldwide export artist of 2004 at the country's dance music awards.
That year has also been a very busy, yet exciting time for the Flash Brothers, combining their production work with their increasingly busy tour schedule. For example they played the massive MAYDAY 2005 rave in Budapest - Hungary, 'Renaissance UK club event in Barcelona - Spain, 'Gatecrasher' world tour across Brazil & headlined the 'Final Flash' festival in Slovenia.
