If you are a tourist or on business travel, visiting New York City, well, you must prepare your self, and manage all down to the detail. New York City is as we know is one of popular cities in the world like Tokyo, or Paris.

Many holywood movies are made with New York set up. Like Godzilla or Spiderman. City that filled up with high and famous skyscrappers like the Rockefeller or Empire State.

City travel of course can be difficult yet expensive when you are a tourist or visitor. Taxi as one ride is good but can be a pain too. So, instead of that you can get more reliable transport. You can call professional ride provider like JFK Airport Shuttle for example. It is a perfect sample of professioal ground travel, perfect for both business or pleasure.

Operating all day all year long, guarantee your travel is not disturbed by holidays or anything. And get a special discount too if you book online.

New York is not only beautiful at day but also at night. But you must be careful to touring the city in the night, for your own safety try not to make any silly move like flashing money or jewels in public. Or travel with professional provider so you don’t walk or ride alone.

You know, we used to have those kind of double decker bus here on Surabaya, Indonesia. Wondering around the street of Tunjungan, we drive through the famous building tunnel of tunjungan, wonder if somehow the upper deck of the bus will hit the tunnel.

An old joke say that we have no more double decker bus because nobody wants to get on the upper decker. Why people not want to sit on the upper deck? Because the upper decker has no driver :D.

The bus picture above is a double decker bus used by the New York City Tours. New york is one the largest city in the world, many big office movies are made with the New York set. You remember Kingkong, Godzilla, Spiderman, The Day After Tomorrow, Independence Day, I am Legend? Those are just a few.

For most people, New York represents the USA. I often watch on my google earth to the density of this magnificent city. Never been there, but surely comes first on the list when I get the chance. There are some remarkable landmark on New York. The statue of Liberty, creation of Edward Laboulaye, again from the movie National Treasure. The Rockerfeller Building, The Empire State Building, the former World Trade Center, the Madison Square Garden, Manhattan Bridge, the Grand Central Station, whew, so many things, so many option there in New York.

So, it must be exciting to travel the city with a double decker, making camera shots, some flirts, :D.

19Jun08 THE GREAT PEOPLE OF AZTECS

PERSONAL

If you read history you will know that the great people of Aztecs were inhabits the land of central Mexico. The famous jaguar and eagle warrior, are among the finest warrior ever recorded on history. I remember playing the game of Microsoft Age Of Empires, my favorite tribe is the mayan and aztec.

It reminds me that I have not finished reading the Graham Hancock book titled “The Fingerprints of the Gods”, that described a different point of view than common archiological theories. Either way, the book inspire me of the greatness of what once was a great civilization.

“Often the term “Aztec” refers exclusively to the people of Tenochtitlan, situated on an island in Lake Texcoco, who called themselves Mexica Tenochca or Colhua-Mexica.”

“Two of the primary architects of the Aztec empire were the half-brothers Tlacaelel and Moctezuma I, nephews of Itzcoatl. Moctezuma I succeeded Itzcoatl as Hueyi Tlatoani in 1440. Although he was also offered the opportunity to be tlatoani, Tlacaelel preferred to operate as the power behind the throne. Tlacaelel reformed the Aztec state and religion. According to some sources, he ordered the burning of most of the extant Aztec books claiming that they contained lies. He thereupon rewrote the history of the Aztec people, thus creating a common awareness of history for the Aztecs. This rewriting led directly to the curriculum taught to scholars and promoted the belief that the Aztecs were always a powerful and mythic nation; forgetting forever a possible true history of modest origins. One component of this reform was the institution of ritual war (the flower wars) as a way to have trained warriors, and created the necessity of constant sacrifices to keep the Sun moving.”

Quotes from : wikipedia

You will probably also find the character of Montezuma on Age of Empires. If you ever play the game of ZUMA, you will also notice that the game was based on aztec civilization.

Well, if you ever come to Mexico, remember to visit the Playa. More on information of traveling to mexico you can find in Playa de Carmen vacation rental. If you have the money for more luxurious service you can have the Playa de Carmen condo rentals, or for bigger groups or more private adventure visit the Playa de Carmen villas.

I wish I could go there.
