why americans should never be allowed to travel I had someone ask for an aisle seats so that his or her hair wouldn't get messed up by being near the window. A client called in inquiring about a package to Hawaii. After going over all the cost info, she asked, "Would it be cheaper to fly to California and then take the train to Hawaii?" I got a call from a woman who wanted to go to Capetown. I started to explain the length of the flight and the passport information when she interrupted me with "I'm not trying to make you look stupid, but Capetown is in Massachusetts. "Without trying to make her look like the stupid one, I calmly explained, "Capecod is in Massachusetts, Capetown is in Africa." A man called, furious about a Florida package we did. I got a call from a man who asked, "Is it possible to see England from Canada?" Another man called and asked if he could rent a car in Dallas. A nice lady just called. A woman called and asked, "Do airlines put your physical description on your bag so they know who's luggage belongs to who?"
Virtual tours - ::. photoJPL.com :: photos panoramiques .:: Web-Based Geographical Information System (GIS) for Tourism in Oyo State, Nigeria Tourism is defined by the World Tourism Organization (NSCB, 2004), as the act of traveling for the purpose of recreation and the provision of services for this act. It further explained that a tourist is someone who travels at least eighty kilometers (fifty miles) from home for the purpose of recreation. To a lay-man, tourism could just be the act of visiting other places for the purpose of sight seeing and enjoyment but the activities of tourism are more than that. The tourism industry in Nigeria is a developing one and Oyo state is fast becoming a leading destination for tourists into the country. Oyo state, which has as its capital Ibadan, the second largest indigenous city in black Africa, is blessed with a lot of breathtaking attractions centers that can catch the fancy of tourist. The climate in Oyo state is equatorial notably with dry and wet seasons with relatively high humidity. According to ESRI (1995) there are four basic components of GIS namely:

MayaArch3D A web-based 3D GIS for archaeological research The MayaArch3D Project has built a virtual research environment for the documentation and analysis of complex archaeological sites —specifically, it is a web-based, 3D-GIS that can integrate 3D models of cities, landscapes, and objects with associated, geo-referenced archaeological data. An international, interdisciplinary project This international, interdisciplinary project brings together archaeologists, art historians, and cultural resource managers with experts in geosciences, remote sensing, photogrammetry, 3D modeling, and virtual reality from various institutions in Germany, the US, Italy, and Honduras. Case Study: UNESCO World Heritage site and ancient Maya city of Copan, Honduras The digital collections used to demonstrate the system contain basic information for other ancient Maya cities in Central America, but focus on the archaeology of Honduras and specifically Copan.
16 visites virtuelles de lieux historiques en France (en 3D, 360 degrés) Quels sont les monuments français qui proposent des visites 3D ou 360 degrés ? Le blog de la médiathèque du CDDP de l’Oise dresse une liste de 16 lieux français patrimoniaux à visiter via son ordinateur (voire via un outil connecté mobile) qui offrent ainsi une découverte inédite de monuments, architectures, châteaux, vallées, musées, endroits de batailles, églises et musées reconstitués sous une forme virtuelle avec légendes, apports textuels mais également audio/sonores. On retrouve ainsi des liens directs vers les visites virtuelles de la Cathédrale Notre-Dame-de-Paris, la Tour Eiffel, la Grotte de Lascaux, le Château de Versailles, la Ville de Saint-Denis, le Débarquement d’Arromanches… Tous ces projets ont un point commun : ils sont issus de l’Etat, de collectivités territoriales ou d’institutions publiques.

Artsteps | explorer l'art dans les galeries virtuelles 3D Acropole d'Athènes The Propylaia, famous already in antiquity for its brilliant coffered ceilings and the unique design of the monumental entrance to the sanctuary of Athena, was a work of the architect Mnesikles (437-432 B.C.). It consists of a central building with two six-columned Doric porticoes east and west and two Ionic colonnades in the interior, framed at the north and south by two wings with porches in the Doric order. The outbreak of the Peloponnesian War meant that the final work on the surfaces of the monument was never completed. The destruction of most of the superstructure of the central building during the years 1640-1830 , after the explosion of gunpowder that was stored in the monument by the Turks, has led to a gradual loss of authentic building material, so that until now no more than one fifth of it had been recognised.
