LA Renaissance.
Los Angeles will be the cultural capital of the millennium.
This statement was recently made by LA’s vice –president
of cultural tourism who then went on to state that there are
more major museums per head of population in LA than
any other US city(300, to be precise), not to mention more
artists, writers ,film makers, actors, dancers and musicians
than in any other city in the history of civilasiation. LA is
the most fascinating cultural destination in America.
The Getty Museum.
If LA can claim to be a cultural mecca, it’s because of the Getty Museum.
This fine –art museum looks down from a Santa Monica hilltop over the city,
a monument to culture. Its cost well over$1 bn which forces people to take
note. Three million people visited the Getty in its first year. They come in the
same coaches that take them to Disneyland and Beverly Hills.
Almost immediately, it has become a
part of the LA tour- an art museum

theater.

A short presentation on Moscow
• The best time to go to
Moscow is July and August
because they are the
warmest months of the year.
Summer days are long and it
can rain a lot. By the end of
November Moscow is
frozen most of the time and
snow stays until April.
Getting around is easy and
relatively cheap. You can get
between all five airports and
the city centre by a
combinations of bus and
metro or suburban train
Most visitors to Moscow come to see the Kremlin ,Red Square and
St Basil’s Cathedral and to look at Lenin’s tomb and it’s best to see
the central area around the Kremlin on foot. For other parts of the
city, the fastest ,cheapest and easiest way to get around is on the
metro. There are more than 150 metro stations in Moscow .Buses,
trolleybuses and trams run almost everywhere the metro doesn’t go.
The most famous of Moscow’s parks
and gardens is Gorky Park which
stretches almost three kilometers
along the river Moskva. There’s a
fairground, an ornamental garden
and in summer boats leave from pier
on river excursions. There are a
number of festivals that are worth
seeing. The Moscow Film Festival
takes place in the autumn and the
Russian Winter Festival is a must,
with troika rides ,folklore shows,
games. The live music scene is
good, with regular gigs at numerous
venues
.As far as eating out is concerned,
for an authentic Russian
experiences go to Petrovich
where the walls are covered
by all sorts of reminders of the
Soviet past. For a quick snack,
there are three chains of food
stalls-Niam Niam ,which sells
all kinds of sweet and savoury
pies, Kroshka Kartoshka,
which are jacket potatoes with
fillings and Russkie Bliny,
which of course needs no
explanation.
