* In all like hood God does not exist, but if he exists, he would be a pilot of Iberia

At the time of airport chaos, flight delays, canceled, pilots strike, crisis… We need a break to have a little bit of fun.

Art never ends growing. The artist Jeremy Mayer managed to gather two kinds of arts and two eras in a single work.
The effect is a chock. Mayer managed to join literary art symbolized by History and the maudlin typewriter, with futuristic figures, through his sculpture.
Between all his figures, my attention stopped on the robot. It brings back to the past of raw material with some typewriter pieces, and to the future, expressed by the automaton’s shape.

If you pass by this bar in Tokyo, you will see these two waiters named Yatchen and Foukotchen.
Everything seems normal till now, except the fact that these amazing waiters are monkeys; They bring you warm towels and, according to the owner and to customers, they are more obedient and friendly than most of us.
They work only 2h a day due to the law about animals’ protection.
As owner and customers are satisfied, the employer planned to train 3 other monkeys for next year.

And anyway, try to give some soy seeds as tip to a waiter; you will see his reaction…

TripAdvisor has publish the results from its annual survey about travel tendencies for 2009

The survey has been realised on 3.000 americains and shows some results to take in account.

Tourists will demand more ecologic places to visit, considering  these offers had been well accepted in 2008.
Also, offers with possibillities to practise some sport in open air will distance themself from  others. This year already, a certain amount of people not only planed to do exercice, but planed also to keep doing it during their next holiday.

On the other side, bigger is the amount of people worried to get infected by a virus. Included last year,  data revealed that people are traveling with their own towel,  pillow and other different products to not use the ones offered by hotels.

An other tendency for this year is people demand more convenience each time. For exemple, they prefer that airline companies forbid the use of mobiles and laptops to avoid the embarrassment to ask themself for it.

Considering technology progress, a huge percentage of the investigated population would like that  airports get wareless, but only a few would agree to pay for it.

If we focus on elected destinations to enjoy good holiday, this is the top 5 of the destination which could be crowded this year:

- Budoni, Italy
- Agia Galini, en Creta Greece
- Petra, Jordany
- Ardmore, Irlande
- Peschiera del Garda, Italy
