Travel to pleasure!

At hot July night prince Siddhartha Gautama left a patrimonial palace for a long time to leave Kapilavastu, whether and in it it is a high time in ten thousand from Kapilavastu, in southern limits Celestial because of a ridge of foggy mountains the tribes speaking in the, special language have seemed. Later, many hundreds years later, these tribes will occupy territory of modern Thailand, and an adverb on which people from these tribes spoke, become a basis for Thai language. So the legend, anyway, says.

Whence actually there was a Thai language and it belongs to which language family, precisely anybody till now does not know. Linguists, as a rule, pay attention to a significant amount of Chinese loans used in Thai language. Partially for this reason Thai language or «phasa thaj» sometimes carry to the Chinese-Tibetan language group.

Like Chinese, Thai language is tonovym; tone carries out in it smyslorazlichitelnuju function. In official Thai language five tones are used, but in some regional dialects the quantity of tones can reach seven. The majority of words consist of one syllable; words are not declined and do not change on sorts or cases. The same word depending on the place in the offer can act in a role of a noun, an adjective, a verb or an adverb.

The Thai alphabet created in 1283 by King Ramkamhengom on the basis of khmer and Indian analogues, superficially resembles both the khmer letter, and Sanskrit devanagari. The alphabet consists of 44 letters designating consonants; the signs displaying on the letter vowel sounds and diphthongs, are not included into system of the Thai alphabet and form podsistemnuju group.

From 44 consonants available in the alphabet 16 are excessive. It means, that for graphic display of the same consonant in the alphabet there are some different independent symbols. For example, to display on the letter one consonant "kh", at tajtsev in the alphabet there are five different letters: kho khaj (egg), kho khuat (bottle), kho khvaj (buffalo), kho khon (person) and kho-rakhang (bell). These "superfluous" 16 letters are used basically at a writing of the words borrowed from languages buddistskogo of a canon: a Sanskrit or have fallen. To read completely »

The first settlements on this beautiful and generous earth have arisen seven millenia ago, during a neolith epoch. From them there were one crocks, anything remarkable. (The earliest settlement of primitive people is revealed in cave Sandal near to Pools).

The interesting has begun, when coast of Istria had ancient Greeks, precisely under nice Odysseus leadership. And can be, also Argonauts there looked. As the legend says, they have based "City-refuge" polai which has become subsequently Puloj. Greeks have added to archaeological museums still a little bit crocks and Apollo's broken statue.

Greeks were followed by Romans who bystrenko have grasped all coast and named turned out provinces Top and Bottom Illirik as local residents have been named illirijtsami. However, they named themselves "histri", paternal there was a name Istria. The main settlement histri was near to polai, that is in suburb Pools. It was called nezaksium.

Romans have taken care of the future industry of tourism: they have left remarkable architectural monuments. The most impress are all in the same Bullet which at Romans was capital of Istria. The huge amphitheatre constructed two millenia ago, contained 23 thousand spectators. Its sizes impress till now: it is an ellipse in length 133 and in the width 105 m.

Barcelona - capital of Catalonia and the second for number of inhabitants a city of Spain. This surprising city has gone through some epoch and has perfectly kept past monuments. And today we will talk about it.

Most of all in Barcelona impresses Gothic quarter with its cold narrow lanes which for seven centuries is more senior other areas of Barcelona. On the contrary, the wide prospectuses shined at night l'eshampla look unusually affably and peacefully. The street the Diagonal crosses city centre. From here the chain of parkways where fussing atmosphere reigns was stretched.

Churches of XII century adjoin to really monumental construction, cathedral Sagrada the Surname (”Sacred family”) which is in process till now of building.
Here it is necessary to note especially talent of well-known architect Antonio Gaudi, whose surprising and even mystical constructions submit both inhabitants of Barcelona, and the foreigners coming to this city.

The temple of "Sacred family” is a card of Barcelona. Construction of this cathedral, iskupitelnogo the Temple, Gaudi aspired to expiate sins of a modern material world, to proclaim equality and unity of the people. To read completely »

Has tried to recollect one of these days names of our films love, and the first, that has for some reason come to mind, there was «a Twist of fate, or With easy steam». The Protagonist of a film Evgenie Lukashin, being in a condition of strong alcoholic intoxication, gets to another's city and neumyshlenno gets into apartment of the citizen of Hope SHevelevoj. Being unable realise the act and its harmful results, citizen Lukashin refuses to recognise socially-dangerous character of perfect act then relations between Hope SHevelevoj and its potential spouse citizen Ippolitom become object of offence Lukashina. Anything to itself of the romanticist!

However, later friends have prompted to me, that we have also other films about love: «Love and pigeons» or «Three poplars on Plyuschikha», for example. I remember these films badly, but well I remember a film «Love young Nak», removed ten years ago Thai director Nonzi Nimibutrom. To tell the truth, for the life I saw a large quantity of films about love. Hundreds. Thousand. But till now for some reason it seems to me, that the cinema about love should be removed just how has made it ten years ago Khun Nonzi.

Born in 1962 in Thai province Nonthaburi, Nonzi Nimibutr after the termination of Bangkok university Silapakorn any time removed preview trailers and videoclips. Having achieved certain success in a media advertising field, in the late nineties Nonzi decides to test the forces in the present cinema. It was time when in Thailand there was a so-called cinema of "a new wave» thanks to which the Thai cinema became known far outside of South East Asia. To read completely »
