| CNNGo TV in Paris: Bread, music and graffiti Posted: 12 Jun 2013 02:16 AM PDT Where can you find the best bakery in the city? Come with us -- we'll show you  An antique animal skeleton and the best "escargot" pastry? Anyone? CNNGo TV this month wanders through the different arrondissments of Paris. From inner Paris' secret spots to a playful anitique store far from the center -- here's our guide to another side of the romantic city. Du Pain et des Idées
The boulangerie extraordinaire's founder Christophe Vasseur left a successful career in the fashion industry to study baking. You will spot the shop easily -- it's the one with a constant long queue outside. The house specialty is named "escargot" -- delicious swirls of cream cheese, pistachio and pastry that are an affectionate nod to the shape of the city. 34 rue Yves Toudic, www.dupainetdesidees.com Guitare Collection
It's like a rock 'n' roll treasure trove. Hundreds of acoustic and electric guitars fill the store -- everything from Fenders, Gibsons, the odd ukulele and a special section reserved for the sublime. If you can take the time to speak with the manager, you'll find out each guitar's story. Some have even been touched by guitar greats like Dave Gilmore and Eric Clapton. 2 rue de Douai, 75 009, Paris, www.guitarecollection Quintessence Playground
Located in Les Puces, the huge flea markets, Quintessence Playground is an antiquities store with many baroque, strange artworks, and design collectibles. You can find everything from a boxing ring to animal skeleton sculptures here. 3 Rue Paul Bert, 93400, St Ouen, quintessenceplayground The Rue Dénoyez
It's now a district shared by around 180 different nationalities, making it the most multi-cultural part of Paris. Rue Dénoyez, the street where the caberet venues of Edith Piaf and Maurice Chevalier once stood, is now famous for street art. It's like an open-air gallery today, a place where graffiti is not only tolerated but encouraged. Bellville, 20th arrondisment, Paris Deyrolle
Since it was founded in the 1800s, Deyrolle has survived taxidermy's fall from fashion and an accidental blaze that gutted the store five years ago. Today all the animals on display are donated or gathered with the modern ethical sensibility. The collection continues to attract tourists, artists and the curious. It was the location for director Woody Allen's film "Midnight in Paris." 46, Rue du Bac, 75007, Paris (St Germain) www.deyrolle.fr Tags:      |
| Secrets of a hot air balloon pilot Posted: 11 Jun 2013 03:00 PM PDT From Myanmar to Marrakech, a globe-trotting hot air balloon guide shares his experiences and addresses ballooning safety issues  Google "Bagan" and one of the first images you'll see is a red and gold hot air balloon, floating in the dawn light above curls of mist over a plain of ancient Buddhist temples. Only seven men and women fly that balloon. They're hired each high season (October through March) by Balloons Over Bagan, a stylish operation in central Myanmar that's routinely featured at the top of travelers' must-do lists. Ian Martin is one of those pilots. His dedication to ballooning led him to set up his own aerial display company, Flying Enterprises, in the UK in 1997.
"It's the biggest billboard you could achieve," he says. "People always remember a balloon, because it's unusual." As well as running his business, Martin conducts sunrise flights for tourists over some of the world's most amazing landscapes. "There are a lot of opportunities as a balloon pilot, because there aren't a massive number of us," he says. Bagan, Tuscany and Marrakech are the main three places he flies. Martin also helps set up ballooning companies around the world, and is working on new projects in Kenya and Panama, where he says one flight may begin at the mouth of an extinct volcano. Before embarking on his ballooning career, Martin worked in construction. He was drawn to ballooning "by accident," when a supplier offered him a free flight. From there, it became a hobby, then a part of his life. He obtained his balloon pilot's license 20 years ago and joined Richard Branson's "Global Challenger" team in the late 1990s. The Virgin mogul aimed to fly around the world in a balloon. "We almost got there," Martin says, with regret in his voice. Egypt crash raises safety concerns
Several other incidents this year have thrown the safety of ballooning into question. In May, a hot air balloon flying over central Turkey fell to the ground after colliding with another, killing two Brazilian tourists. Last weekend, at least five people were reportedly injured in four separate hot air balloon crashes caused by high winds. Although Martin admits accidents are bound to happen, he insists that ballooning is the safest form of aviation. "Safety concerns tend to come up primarily around fuel, the propane and hoses that we use," he explains. "It's crucial to prevent leaks that may lead to fires. The second area is to try and limit pilot error. That is, to keep the pilots well briefed, well trained and up to date with any changes [or advancements] in equipment." It's not possible to steer a balloon in the conventional sense. Instead, pilots rely on the speed and direction of winds at different heights for navigation and control. To be licensed, they must take an exam that covers meteorology, among other things. More on CNN: How safe is hot air ballooning? Chasing summer
Martin's annual stint in Myanmar is a way to earn winter income and to chase the sun, he says. The British pilot normally stays in Bagan for three or four months each year; he's been working here since 2005. Martin says he loves the country and people, who "have a very good sense of humor." Recent changes he's seen in Myanmar are huge, and he worries that the country won't remain unspoiled forever. "It's nice to see the people having a friendlier outlook without fear in the back of their minds all the time," Martin says of the country's much publicized opening up. But he observes that greed has started to seep in. For example, he says hotels rooms are often more expensive than they're worth. More on CNN: Myanmar hit by severe hotel shortage "I hope that as the country continues to develop, it does so in a way that's not too commercial," he says. Martin's affinity with the locals who handle the balloons in Bagan was evident during a flight with him earlier this year. He often shared jokes with his man on the ground, who followed the flight in a truck to ensure a safe landing and brought a team to help pack away the balloon. Martin is a natural entertainer. "To be a balloon pilot, you have to be a showman," he says, adding that it's important to build a rapport with passengers, because it means that every flight is different. "You could meet somebody who is, if you like, a road sweeper, right the way up to a doctor, professor or even royalty ... and that's quite rewarding." On one of his favorite journeys, Martin flew a princess across the Irrawaddy River and landed on a sandbank among local villagers. "Some flights," he says, "you remember forever."

| Insider Guide: Best of Las Vegas Posted: 11 Jun 2013 09:58 AM PDT Multiple personalities are among Vegas's many bewitching disorders. Explore them all with our guide to the city  Las Vegas has two faces. The first is a carefully manicured, distinctly manufactured, over-the-top playground promising that, no matter the shenanigans undertaken by its visitors, no one beyond the city limits ever needs to know about them. This is the city of bigger and more extravagant resorts and attractions than have ever been built before. It's the Las Vegas most people recognize. But that first face of Las Vegas occupies only a few miles of Las Vegas Boulevard ("the Strip") and a few blocks of downtown. Behind the glitz are just less than 600,000 locals who keep that facade alive. This is where you'll find the second face of Las Vegas. As a standard American big city, there are pockets of commerce and creativity that reflect the residents of this outpost in the middle of the desert. Certainly there's the occasional wart or blemish even on the best of Las Vegas, but take the time to turn the city on its head and you'll discover a Sin City you never knew existed.

No stuffiness here. The Cosmopolitan's rooms are modern and urban. Most attractive are those commanding views up and down the Strip. This is the only resort on Las Vegas Boulevard with terraces, which means that staying in for the evening doesn't equate to being stuck in a stale hotel room. The best of Las Vegas rooms overlooking the Bellagio fountains are worth the splurge. Though The Cosmopolitan has just about everything on site that visitors might want -- restaurants, nightclub, shopping, gambling -- its mid-Strip location makes it easy to reach other popular resorts in the area. The Cosmopolitan, 3708 Las Vegas Blvd. S.; +1 702 698 7000; from $150 per night
The Wynn gets the lion's share of attention when it comes to luxury properties on the Strip, but its next-door neighbor, Encore Las Vegas, offers both opulence and an intimacy that's absent at more popular properties. Encore's suites are roomy, with floor-to-ceiling windows and lounger sofas, but there isn't much reason to stay inside considering the resort's other amenities and attractions. The classy vibe found in the suites carries over to the lounges (even the lobby bar is attractive), nightclubs and especially the restaurants. Encore Las Vegas, 3131 Las Vegas Blvd. S.; +1 702 770 7000; from $143 per night
Ever since its opening in 1998, Bellagio has been regarded as one of the premier properties on the Strip. Thousands of visitors make their way through the property on a daily basis to catch a dancing fountains show or the latest seasonal creation in the 13,500-square-foot conservatory and botanical garden. Those who'd like to stay can choose from 3,933 guest rooms (including 512 suites), many of which were recently renovated. Beyond the fountains and gardens, Bellagio is home to five outdoor pools, a handful of high-end retailers, fine art gallery, a couple of popular nightclubs, the Cirque du Soleil show, "O" and some of the best restaurants on the Strip. In fact, it's the only hotel in the country with two AAA Five Diamond restaurants. Bellagio, 3600 S. Las Vegas Blvd.; 888.987.6667; from $159 per night

There's nothing distinctly Las Vegas-flavored about Trump International Hotel. In fact, it's casino-free, which is why it's so appealing to some travelers. Many people aren't into the gambling scene and everything that accompanies it -- noise, smoke, lack of clocks. For these people, Trump is ideal. Without a casino, extensive attractions or shows, Trump focuses on what it's good at: customer service and quality hotel experiences. The accommodations are chic, with massive windows offering views of the city or Strip. Given its location just off Las Vegas Boulevard, the southward views down the neon-lit street are arguably the best in the city, so opt for a Strip view. Trump International Hotel, 2000 Fashion Show Dr.; +1 702 982 0000; from $119 per night Budget
This all-suite, modern boutique hotel is designed for relaxation. Its small size makes it a lot more manageable than many of the massive casino resorts in Las Vegas, and the intimate bar, restaurant and pool are ideal places to unwind. Rooms are decorated in deep colors with the latest design details. The hotel is known for its pet policy, welcoming critters less than 25 pounds. It hosts yappy hours the third Thursday of each month with cocktail specials, doggy goodie bags and appetizer specials. Rumor, 455 E. Harmon Ave.; +1 877 997 8667; from $42 per night More on CNN: Ultimate checklist for returning U.S. expats

Celebrity chef Simon Kerry doesn't take himself too seriously. Though his kitchen emphasizes fresh, seasonal ingredients and high-quality dishes, there's always a touch of whimsy in what the restaurant serves. Simon's junk food platter -- a collection of classic desserts including cotton candy, brownies and caramel corn -- is an example of his playfulness. The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, but it's Sunday brunch for which Simon is known best.

| Plane makes seven flights with dead man onboard Posted: 11 Jun 2013 02:34 AM PDT A Georgian man froze to death while attempting to stow away in the plane's landing gear  The body of a man found in the wheel well of an A330 iFly plane in Moscow last week has been identified as that of Georgian national Giorgio Abduladze. The plane had been flying from Rimini, Italy to Vnukovo Internaitonal Airport, where maintenance workers discovered the corpse after noticing bloodstains on the plane's landing gear, according to themoscownews.com. Initial investigation results suggest the body had been in the wheel well for four days, during which the plane made seven flights. Russia Today revealed the man as 22-year-old Giorgio Abduladze, who had been carrying Georgian identity documents at the time. "Apparently the man died from exposure to cold. We suspect he was a stowaway," a spokesperson from the Moscow branch of the Russian Investigation Committee's transport department said. "Only licensed staff members can access the wheel well of a plane," Fiume explained. "We have no such staff members at Rimini Airport and no technical inspections were carried out." Last year a man found dead on a street in west London was suspected of falling from a plane bound for Heathrow from Angola. With minimal oxygen and temperatures falling to below -50C at high altitude, these "passengers" have little chance of surviving their journeys.    |
