Jude Law dines with Japanese comedians on “Tunnels no Minna-san no Okage deshita”:I believe the appearance was to promote the Japanese release of Sherlock Holmes. (It will be hitting theaters on March 13th, about 3 months after the rest of the world.)—Akihabara News – Gadgetry from Japan (Subscribe)Dannychoo.com – Your portal to Japan (Subscribe)

On the occasion of Django Reinhardt's centary, The Guardian puts together a neat little list of places in Paris where you can still check out jazz manouche, the music of "Paris' Gypsy periphery." They are: La Chope des Puces, Bouquet du Nord, La Locandiera, La Chope de Château Rouge, L'Atelier Charonne, and Clarion de Chasseurs. [Guardian UK Online]

Travel: Learning to Love Lima in Only 2 Days - A
National Geographic Blog Article

post from travel tourism about American living in peru abroad in lima visiting peru on 03 March 2010 04:27:00 PM. © travel tourism about American living in peru abroad in lima visiting peru

Today I came across this interesting travel article on the National Geographic's blog. The article was written by author and traveler Andrew Evans, as he sets out on his journey across South America by bus in hopes of reaching his destination of Antartica. The article that I read was about Evan's two day stay in the urban desert city of Lima, Peru. Here the reader gets to see Lima through the perspective of a exhausted traveler and his initial impressions of Lima. Below I have included an extract from the original article along with a link for those interested in reading more...

" In Spanish, the word "Lima" means "under construction." OK, that's not true. Really, I think it derives from the ancient Inca phrase meaning "perpetual traffic." Alright, that's another lie--but honestly, those were my first two impressions of Lima when I arrived.

Maybe it's because I'd been sitting on buses for 30 consecutive hours and was a little bit cranky. After a 621 miles of desert (that's 1000 kilometers down here), I stared out the window at what I hoped would be my own special urban oasis and jumped to some harsh conclusions. I immediately shot out a tweet that Lima was "the brownest city in the world." Everything I could see was brown--the ground (no grass), the buildings (brown brick)--even the overcast rainy season sky was filled with dust and shone a kind of dull brown-grey.

Let me be clear: I am not on a sightseeing trip. Rather, I'm on a "seeing" trip. I am traveling 10,000 miles on an open itinerary with the ultimate goal of Antarctica--I just try to see what I can see along the way. Admittedly, it's been hard to pass up wonders like Machu Pichu or the greater Amazon, yet the real glory of travel is the unexpected things that pop up all along the way. "

A Beautiful Weekend in Lima, Peru

post from travel tourism about American living in peru abroad in lima visiting peru on 03 March 2010 03:07:00 PM. © travel tourism about American living in peru abroad in lima visiting peru

As I promised I have put together a few more photos from this last weekend, when I was traveling all over the city of Lima like a tourist taking photos of the strangest things. Most of these photos were taken in Miraflores, San Isidro, and Barranco. I was too lazy to travel to any of the other districts.

Please let me know what you think!

This photo was taken in Barranco at Sunset

I absolutely adore this photo for the beautiful simplicity of the primary colors. It was taken on Av. Mariscal La Mar, in Miraflores (Lima), Peru.

While walking in a residential neighborhood in San Isidro I came across a fruit vendor. The photo is a closeup of a Chirimoya or Guanabana fruit.

This last beauty was also taken in Barranco.

Shamrocker Adventures has a special eight day St. Patrick's Day tour that begins in Dublin on Saturday, March 13. You have to find your own way there (flights not included) but once you're there, they handle everything. The Celtic Combo Tour includes everything you could want in a St. Patty's Day tour of Ireland: there's a stop at the Blarney Stone, a tour of the Guinness Storehouse and, most importantly, plenty of time to party!"
