Many South American countries such as Argentina, Brazil and Colombia are planning to build stronger cooperation with China.

Especially the tourism sector is in focus as the Chinese ambassador to Argentina called for intercultural communication between the two nations in order to gain greater wisdom.

To promote the understanding of Chinese culture, an acrobatic venue known as Chaoyang Theatre is gaining momentum amongst South American visitors in Beijing.

“All things are difficult before they are easy”- a popular, old and wise Chinese proverb goes like this and the Chinese art of Acrobatics is the burning evidence of the faith and the influence of this saying to the Chinese people. This traditional two thousand year old- art is a great composition of highly skilled and daring performances presenting the glory of strength, creativity, accuracy and a high level of physical motion balance. The extremely risky and difficult Chinese acrobatics had a period of great development in the Han Dynasty of China due to the great patron of acrobatics, the Emperor Wudi.

Dusseldorf is Germany’s nicest town. This modern city located on the banks of the famous Rhine River is simply awesome. Your visit to Germany would remain rather incomplete if you don’t take flights to Dusseldorf and explore it.

Last year, I booked flight tickets to Dusseldorf at cheap rates and headed to this magnificent city. I was on a short trip here and just wanted to explore the city and take a look at some of its prominent attractions. This city is Western Germany’s premier economic center and famous for its vibrant nightlife. Tourists in large numbers throng to Dusseldorf to see its many events, trade and fashion shows and carnival. Most of the tourists make it a point to book their cheaptickets and visit the city during the summer months to participate in the big fair Kirmes, which is held for nine days.

I want to share my experience regarding my short trip to Dusseldorf. I was traveling from the UK and took British Airways flights to reach Dusseldorf. It was a very short flight from London, and I landed at Dusseldorf International Airport after 1 hr 30 mins. The journey was smooth and hassle free. I hired a taxi and reached the city center for my stay. I preferred not to venture out in the city on Day 1 of my travel. I simply decided to spend my entire day relaxing and eating at some of the excellent restaurants in the city.

On Day 2, after a perfect relaxation, I was ready to explore the city and headed to the Old City to get a feel of the history and of bygone era. While on a tour of the Old City, it is simply as if you are being taken down the memory lane. It was a great feeling when I visited the Castle Tower. I also visited the historic St. Andreas Church. I spent my whole day visiting the Old City in Dusseldorf. I also did some shopping. The fabled nightlife of the city was indeed fascinating and I had some of the great moments enjoying the nightlife here.

I was now into Day 3 of my stay at Dusseldorf. I planned to visit some more of its attractions. It was time to set out for the historic Benrath Palace, which is above 200 years old. This is a must-visit site during your Dusseldorf stay. The Benrath Palace dates to the late Baroque era, and is situated in a very beautiful park.

I planned to spend my entire day visiting some of the famous museums of Dusseldorf on Day 4. The visit to these museums was fabulous indeed. It was a tiresome day for me. I decided to have a great dinner and headed to the pricey Rhine Tower. The dinner was sumptuous and delicious. The Rhine Tower presented an awesome sight by offering a 360 degree view of the magnificent Dusseldorf city.

This is my brief account of my short stay in Dusseldorf. My experiences here will surely help other visitors to plan their travel beforehand, particularly when they are on a short visit to Dusseldorf.

The U.S. manufacturer Boeing is clear that although it has lost market share in Latin America and Colombia, will start a new era in which we ‘show teeth’ to its direct competitor, Airbus.
Travel to South America

“We used to be leaders in Colombia and suppliers for Avianca and SAM, and had a few minor problems, and it is our fault because we did not put the attention we needed, but again we will regain lost market.

But do not think we’re behind Airbus, we remain leaders in the market, “said Boeing Vice President of Sales for Latin America and the Caribbean, Van Rex Gallard.

Colombia is, for that manufacturer, a very important market, “we have very good customers, starting AviancaTaca AeroRepúbica well, now Copa Airlines”.

And one of the strategies that the company has up its sleeve is innovation. Precisely in this sense one of their latest creations is the model 787, which is the most modern aircraft and high technology in the world, of which there are 824 orders from 58 airlines, which has delivered 18 to four airlines: ANA, Japan Airlines, Ethiopian and LAN.

In any case, this aircraft which brings innovations to reduce the impact felt by the passenger due to turbulence, 30 percent more storage space for luggage and an electronic dimming of the cabin windows to adapt to different times of the day, come to AviancaTaca airplanes and Aeromexico, to be delivered in two years.

“We see ourselves very well in the Latin American market and we have always considered our, we had stumbled because we have a little distracted, but this 2012 will be a year that we will prove that we are the leaders of aviation in America “he said, Rex Gallard.
