    Taos

    Anyone ever been out to Taos, NM? I may be working out there starting thursday, in addition to LA, or instead, depending on how we can organize things. I have heard that it is beautiful but that is all that I know...

        I've only passed through Taos and didn't actually get to see any of the town. The skiing is great (wrong time of year i guess)and if you enjoy the outdoors you'll find tons of stuff to keep you busy. It really is a beautiful part of the state. I can't imagine there's much to do in the town itself other than buy a bunch of indian souveniers and see some arts &amp; crafts shows. It would bea great place to spend a few months though and i'd take it over LA any day.</P>

            that is good to know. i have been told that it is amazingly beautiful... am working on a shoot out there so could be really nice, but i am a little bit inclined to have the relaxation of my hotel in LA and the pool and the beach. to make it work in Taos will really stress me out.</p>

                  Can you get to Vancouver from Seattle by car? How long? Any other modes of transportation between the two cities?

                    I'd imagine so, if I remember correctly Seattle is pretty close to the border, under 100 miles I think? and Vancouver is much closer</P>


                    just spent a few days in Paris, I'm actually glad we were there on a sunday as well, got to just hang around for a day. went to parks, Palais De Tokyo,and there wasone of those cheesy mobilecarnivalsat Jardin Des Tuileries [H]</P>

                      it's around a 3 hr drive from downtown seattle. car is the best way. you can do bus i'm sure (never done it) or you could fly (expensive).</p>

                        Even though I am a big fan of all the cosmopolitan cities the world has to offer, there are smaller gems to explore, like:</P>


                        - Krakow (Poland) --- spectacular medieval city which - miraculously - survived WW II without too much inflicted damage.... and of course a visit to Auschwitz which will grab you by the throat and will never let go of you;</P>


                        - Helsinki / Helsingfors(Finland) --- used to live in Finland forquite some time(Tampere, or Tammerfors for the Swedish among you) and always love(d) to pay a visit. It is not particularly beautiful, but the atmosphere is relaxed and you will find an eclectic mix of people,style, architecture, shops, restaurants and clubs</P>


                        - Brugge / Bruges(Belgium) ---not the first destination to come in mind, but combine it with a visit to Antwerp, Brussels and last but not least Bruges and step into a whole new world of medieval greatness;</P>


                        - Crete (Greek island) --- even though filled withhurdles of loud tourists, it's definitely my favorite place among the Greek islands. Ancient sites wherever you go, and amazing toexplore by scooter (which I have done with my GF and one of the best experiences I haveever had). People are uber-friendly and the food is great (don't eat near harbours, but visit small taverna's in little alleys of Rethymnon and Heraklion for great culinary experiences).</P>


                        Cheers and good luck with choosing a destination,</P>

                        You really hit the right nerve with Krakow and Auschwitz, its a spine chilling place. Krakow itself has got an amazing monastery made out of wax which is deeply interesting.</P>


                        I would also say the Adriatic sea is an amazing place to visit, which is the Dalmatian part of Croatia, the sea side, and Montenegro, the city of Budva is a lovely lovely place.</P>

                          If this thread doesn't belong here, sorry and please move it

                          So, I'm going to Paris in March for 5-6 days. It'll be my first time there, and I'm not sure what to do/where to go, so what does everyone recommend for hotels (moderate/cheap preferred), restaurants, shops (can't spend a ton, as I can't really afford this trip in the first place, but any and all thoughts please - really looking for things I won't see back in the US), must-sees/dos, etc? I'll also be coming from London, where I'll be for 3-4 days, and I've only been to London 1 or 2 times before years ago, so any recommendations for London as well are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

                              I can't really help you without knowing your budget since Paris is more or less like London when it comes to hotels. Though, you should definately check this website: http://www.0800paris-hotels.com/index_fr.asp?pub=G2hp

                                I cannot help for hotels because I live there but here is what I would recommand

                                Free (if under 25) : Louvres by night on friday (or wednesday but not free then)

                                Restaurants :

                                Cheap (10 / 20 euros) :

                                Sapporo restaurant - Rue St Anne (M : Pyramides) - Very nice japanese restaurant where you eat ramens and other cool meals

                                A bit expensive (50 / 70 euros) :

                                Le George - On top of Centre Pompidou museum (M : Rambuteau) - Typical lounge restaurant (you wont eat a lot) with a very nice sightseeing of all Paris

                                Musical Hall - Avenue F D Roosevelt (M : F D Roosevelt) - Same than Le George - sightseeing + funny lights on the walls - Try the "Foie de veau" if you eat meat

                                To have a drink:

                                Le George

                                Kong (M : Pont Neuf) but do not eat there

                                I am more into little rock bar but I just go to the place I like the most without them beeing really good unfortunately (that's why I do not mention them)

                                Other:

                                Angelina - Rue de Rivoli (M : Tuileries) Very nice hot chocolate + Chestnut dessert
                                -- Mikael
