It’s Carnival Time!

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil - Feb 18-22, 2012

Rio de Janeiro is ready to open its world-famous Carnival on Friday, to the delight of hundreds of thousands of tourists and celebrity visitors. Before the official Feb 18-22 celebrations, "blocos," or block parties that attract up to tens of thousands of revelers start sprouting up across the city. While most blocos are simply an excuse for drunken dancing in the streets, some have themes, like Copacabana's "Blocao" costumed pet parade or "Sargento Pimenta," or Sargent Pepper, with its medley of Beatles hits. From Ipanema to Copacabana, the city couldn't be more alive with scantily-clad samba dancers and blaring blocos.

But the crowning jewel of Rio Carnival remains the two-night long competition at the Sambodromo. Thirteen samba schools vie for the top prize: Their elaborate floats, massive percussion sections and troupes of sequin and feather-clad dancers samba their way down the avenue as ticket-paying spectators look on from the bleachers.

Best Ski Resorts in Europe

Valleys, peaks, rugged terrain or just an oasis of peace, the Alps lure the traveller with a full range of winter resorts. Just choose the perfect destination and get ready for an energetic vacation, which means not only fabulous food, fun and unique alpine landscape but also to remember that it's all about skiing and snowboarding. Ischgl, Austria This resort with a name impossible to pronounce is very good for those who do not have the patience to wait for peak season to reach the slopes. Don’t miss the free admission annual concert taking place in town and have everything done while accompanied by the sound of music with the Top of the Mountain Concert. Snow is found in abundance on any slopes with a total length of 210 km, which rises to an altitude of 2870 meters.  At night, the resort is a bizarre combination of rural meets raunchy; a place where log chalets and lap-dancing bars, folk music and techno coexist. Love it or lump it, this is no place for old age...
