Where else in the world can you enjoy the best kitchen inventions? Where else can you find bigger dishes, free portions, more sophisticated sauces? Where else can you see the shadows of the Twin Towers ? (On that location is builded the freedom Tower, ready in 2012).

The traditional Italian pizza took in N.Y huge proportions; the kebab, falafel, hamburger and hot dogs taste very different in New York, at least in my opinion. Dream and name a dish impossible to find in New York, or send me 100 $! I am sure to win this bet.

1. The gate of the mega city Seoul burned in a huge fire, and it is completely destroyed. There already some plans to rebuild it. I bag the happy ones to have already saw it to tell us something about it with photographs!

2. Paris is not only the city of loved couples. Statistically speaking, there take place most of the separations and arguments between lovers. It most be quite a sensation to separate from your partner in Paris! Much nicer than in London, of course.

3. There are many projects of sending cars far away from overcrowded or over polluted cities. In Athens, to protect Akropolis, the circulation by car is strong reduced. Following that model the Maire Bloomberg of New York city and also the maire of London launched some interesting law propositions aiming to reduce noise and fumes. The initiatives failed now, but I hope that someone will be able to let them pass! What do you think about Manhattan without cars? Only bikes and planes will be allowed!
