Dream holiday on Bora Bora
Bora Bora is an island in the Leeward group of the Society Islands of French Polynesia, an overseas collectivity of France in thePacific Ocean. The island, located about 230 kilometres (140 mi) northwest of Papeete, is surrounded by a lagoon and a barrier reef. In the center of the island are the remnants of an extinct volcano rising to two peaks, Mount Pahia and Mount Otemanu, the highest point at 727 metres (2,385 ft). The original name of the island in the Tahitian language might be better rendered as Pora Pora, meaning "First Born"; an early transcription found in 18th- and 19th century accounts, is Bolabolla or Bollabolla.
The major settlement, Vaitape is on the western side of the island, opposite the main channel into the lagoon. The products of the island are mostly limited to what can be obtained from the sea and coconut trees, which were historically of economic importance forcopra. During the August 2007 census, the population on the island was about 8,880 people. Source
UFO bridge in Bratislava, Slovakia
The windows of UFO, the new restaurant and lounge at the top of the bridge, open onto the city and the traffic below like a spaceship's command deck. Standing before them, the only sensation that ties you to the scene below is a bit of bumping from the bridge traffic. On top of the restaurant, an open-air observation deck offers a full 360-degree view of Bratislava that is certainly the best in the city.
Retaining the positive side of socialist style, UFO gives ample opportunity to appreciate the bridge, which is a marvel. The asymmetrical suspension design holds the entire span without
any pillars towering over the city's old quarter or in the Danube riverbed. The first in the world to use such a solution, it is a testament to the creative trend in architecture pre-1968 as social and political life became more liberal in Czechoslovakia.
The bridge was completed during Communism in 1972, after the Warsaw-pact invasion that ended
the liberalization of the 1960s. Pushed out of public life and their seats at the architecture university for their opposition to the invasion, the project's architects did not receive invitations to the opening ceremony nor credit for their work.
UFO's observation deck is open to the public from 10:00 to 22:00
