Greece is not a conservatory ancient ruins, so beautiful they may be, and is not limited to its prestigious past. She has a lot to offer to those who think outside the box.
The scenery is actually where, a priori, there is nothing to see. It is in the lost parts of Greece that we still have the chance to be welcomed with respect for the Greek tradition, that of the Philoxenia the "hospitality" traditional Greeks, who unfortunately tend to disappear in tourist areas.
Greece monuments and islands (but not all) is therefore the most touristic Greece. For years, Greek tourists shunned their own countries; but they caught ...
Of course, the national tragedies that constituted the deadly fires of 2007 and 2009, are still in our memories. But these tragedies has been added the economic crisis - and moral - suffered by Greece since 2009 ...





When we dream of Turkey, one represents it with specific images. It is a hookah smoked nonchalantly watching really blue sea, full bazaars carpets and smells, gleaming brass and jewelry, still coves lapped by crystal clear water, semi-arid steppes on which ensure the a long snowy peaks of the year ... In Turkey, the backpacker will learn that the tulip originated in Anatolia and that there are more storks in Alsace ...
The further away the beaten track, the more we love this country: Turkey is an inexhaustible wealth. Bosphorus to Anatolia, Lycia to the Black Sea, through Cappadocia, this country offers an incredible diversity of landscapes, cultures and traditions.
Kindness, attention, hospitality mock language barriers. Come and meet locals. Convinced of being westerners, Turks are offers cousin, and there is not much to scratch to find the treasures of the Ottoman hospitality.
Life, night and day, not in turmoil border turns sweet to live.






Egypt


Emerged from the depths of time, the civilization of ancient Egypt fascinates all those who have undertaken to trace the slow and majestic course of its iconic river: the Nile. Already at the time of the Greeks and Romans, "tourists" in Egypt marveled traces left by a civilization that had more than two millennia of existence.
With its illustrious figures (Cheops, Ramses II, Nefertiti, Tutankhamen and the 250 Pharaohs, Moses and Alexander the Great, Cleopatra, Saladin, Mohammed Ali Mamluk, Champollion, Ferdinand de Lesseps and his canal, Howard Carter, Nasser. ..), with its tombs and temples saved from the waters, colossal sculptures and papyrus-shaped columns, crocodiles and sarcophagi, Egypt dwell permanently the imagination of all who will sail.
But at the Pyramids, beyond the marked cruises and luxury hotels saw an endearing people, it will mix with the bustle of the souks and neighborhoods, sip tea or shisha on the terrace of a cafe, rub shoulders mosques among the most prestigious in the Arab world, talking to people to understand and appreciate appreciate Egypt and the Egyptians.
The Bible long ago evoked the 10 plagues of Egypt, but the one you will suffer nostalgia for a mesmerizing journey ...








China


Today, we can go from Paris to Beijing in 10 hours by plane. If China seems less and less distant, its power of attraction and mystery remain. Since economic liberalization began in 1992, that became the finally available to travelers and backpackers. To go to China, a simple visa enough. No license is no longer necessary to travel in many provinces.
Upon arrival in China, it's a shock. Getting lost in the compact Chinese crowd, watching faces so different, learn a few words of that beautiful language, smell the smells and hear the sounds of the street, to taste the subtleties and the many flavors of the kitchen, really, it is indeed although in another universe.

Morocco, a name that evokes the Shereefian palaces surrounded by magnificent gardens, souks which escapes the mysterious smell of spices, the fantasia and its vivid rituals.
But it would be a shame to remain at this stage set up in color. The important thing in Morocco, this is what happens behind the scenes. Thus, in a medina, is leaving the widest streets that we are immerse in the popular life of Morocco, and by daring to leave the lanes to access dark impasses that we find the most beautiful city ​​gates, behind which ones the most luxurious palaces flourish ...

The first traveling is attributed to Alexander Promio operator Lumière brothers in 1896, filmed Venice from a gondola sailing on the Grand Canal, which Louis Lumière calls a "panoramic Light"

Many other shots, in which the camera moves are executed from the public success of the spool of Promio. Used boats, automobiles, trains, elevators, cable cars, treadmills, sleds, aerostats, and finally airplanes. Georges Méliès, whose principle was to determine once and for all the position of his camera in his glass studio, uses a special magnifying effect to give the impression (for inflation - The Man with the rubber head or by displacement - A Trip to the Moon): it puts the object to grow to a carriage that its machinists closer to the camera. It is, one might say, the opposite of traveling.

In 1903, Alfred Collins, who works for the London subsidiary of Gaumont, realized in self in Marriage (The Runaway Match) a car chase through a vehicle (continued) to another (prosecutor), never seen mounting the time, and is obliged, for the public to understand the simultaneity of plans, to indicate the transition from one car to another, by intertitles: "pursued car", "car pursuers"

In 1912, several American films have recourse systematically to a series of onboard tracking shots to create breathless prosecution, during which the prosecutor pursued-pass does not need to be stressed because since the first film by DW Griffith (The Adventures Dollie), the filmmakers know how it is said but simultaneous actions taking place in the different places (parallel connection), a narrative technique borrowed from literature, to which the public is now familiar. Confederate Battleship, directed by Kenean Buel, The Girl and The Beast and his promise of the bay, directed by DW Griffith showcase the camera in motion Travel is appointed at that time by the means used to carry them out.

And, again in 1912, Oscar Apfel for Thomas Edison makes a film whose screenplay is based on several flashbacks: The Passing. Tracking shots have another function here that the dynamism of the chase. They are the first of those called in the 1950s, "psychological tracking shots." Apfel uses the movement of the camera in front and back on a carriage to approach the actor in state history or the return of flashback. The camera "greenhouse" and (and "loose") on the face of the actor to "get into his head" or "out"

Two years later, in 1914, the Italian Giovanni Pastrone uses the process for its monumental movie Cabiria, with descriptive tracking shots where the camera moves repeatedly and at length to a setting or group of actors. This is the carrello (carriage), which still means today in Italy on traveling
