 | NEUSCHWANSTEIN CASTLE El castillo de Neuschwanstein se construyó en una época en la que los castillos y las fortalezas no eran necesarias desde el punto de vista estratégico. En lugar de ello, nació de la pura fantasía: una bella y romántica composición de torres y muros en perfecta armonía con las montañas y los lagos. La combinación de varios estilos arquitectónicos y la artesanía interior a inspirado a generaciones de adultos y niños. Éste castillo es un gran tributo a la fantasía y la imaginación. El rey exigió dos condiciones en su construcción: primero, que sería edificado por trabajadores bávaros y con materiales bávaros, sin apenas excepciones, lo que favoreció la creación de una poderosa artesanía en Baviera, que ha hecho de ella uno de los mayores enclaves industriales de Alemania. Y segundo, que por fuera debía asemejar los castillos de los cuentos de hadas que tanto admiraba en su juventud, pero por dentro debía contener todos los avances tecnológicos de la época. Así, ambas exigencias se cumplieron: el castillo asemejó tanto los relatos tradicionales alemanes que fue elegido por la Disney como modelo para el castillo de La bella durmiente (1959), el cual es el principal símbolo (de hecho, hay una réplica en este parque) del Disneyland Resort Paris o Eurodisney. Por dentro, además de continuas referencias a estos cuentos o a diversas leyendas y personajes medievales (Tristán e Isolda, Fernando el Católico), contiene una completa red de luz eléctrica, el primer teléfono móvil de la historia (con una cobertura de seis metros), una cocina que aprovechaba el calor siguiendo reglas elaboradas por Leonardo da Vinci, y maravillosas vistas y paisajes a los Alpes, incluyendo una encantadora cascada que podía contemplarse desde la habitación del monarca. |

 | Europe Trip: Castle Neuschwanstein The beautiful view of Castle Neuschwanstein from the Marienbrucke bridge. The fairy-tale-like castle is rumoured to be the inspiration for Disney's castles. James is obviously too scared to stand on the bridge, which is rather high. |
 | Thomas Crown Affair - Final Heist - Sinnerman - Nina Simone Great ending to a fantastic movie. The song "Sinnerman" is by Nina Simone from her 1965 album Pastel Blues. Nina Simone was born Eunice Kathleen Waymon in Tryon, North Carolina, one of eight children. She began playing piano at her local church and showed prodigious talent on this instrument. Her concert debut, a classical piano recital, was made at the age of ten. During her performance, her parents, who had taken seats in the front row, were forced to move to the back of the hall to make way for white people. Simone refused to play until her parents were moved back. This incident contributed to her later involvement in the civil rights movement. She took on the stage name "Nina Simone" in 1954 because she did not want her mother to know that she was playing "the devil's music". This ones for you Dew... Copyright 1999 United Artists |
