Sao Paulo

                                                     Map of Sao Paulo
Capital: São Paulo (notice that State and city have the same name)
Area: 248,808 km2
Important cities: Campinas, Guarulhos, Santo André, Osasco, São Bernardo do Campo, São José dos Campos, Ribeirão Preto, Santos, Sorocaba, Diadema, Jundiaí
Economy: industry (petroleum, siderurgic, pulp and paper), agriculture
Climate in Sao Paulo, Brazil
Important newspapers: O Estado de Sao Paulo ; Folha de Sao Paulo
The city of São Paulo is the capital of the State of São Paulo (the only other Brazilian State where this happens is Rio de Janeiro). The naturals or the State are called paulistas, while those from the city are called paulistanos.
São Paulo is, by far, the economic center of Brazil. Agriculture, industry, commerce and services are the most diversified of Brazil; although a large proportion is exported to other States and other countries, the consumer market of the State is also the biggest in Brazil.
Differently from other States, where settlement started in the coast and moved inwards, in São Paulo the center of the economy was in a non-coastal city; even though the city of São Paulo is located just about 100 km off the coast, there is a massive mountains chain (the Serra do Mar) which makes the journey difficult.
São Paulo is also the most multi-cultural State of Brazil. The bandeirantes used much of the indian culture to explore the State, back in the 17th century; black slaves worked in the farms, but were soon replaced by foreigner immigrants of many nationalities (no other State received as many immigrants); more recently, the internal migrations brought Brazilians from several other States to São Paulo.
It should be added here that while visiting Brazil, you would find plenty of options for accommodation. There are a number of hotels in Brazil that cater to the needs for accommodation for all sorts of tourists.

Lenin's Mausoleum

Lenin's Mausoleum has to be one of Moscow's most curious tourist attractions. Locals tend to regard it either as an awkward reminder of the country's communist past or a cherished relic of the good old days, but for visitors to the city it is not only one of Moscow's finest examples of Soviet architecture but it holds an endless fascination.Vladimir Ilyich Lenin has been described as not only the greatest revolutionary leader and statesman in history, but also the greatest revolutionary thinker since Karl Marx. Little in Lenin's childhood years seemed to point to his revolutionary destiny. He was born in the Russian town of Simbirsk (later renamed Ulyanovsk in his honor) in 1870 to a large, loving and very well educated family. He excelled in school and studied in both Kazan and at university in St. Petersburg before he became involved in underground revolutionary activity. These activities eventually led him into a 3-year exile in Siberia, but he continued his political agitation undeterred on his return. In 1903 he prompted a split between the Bolshevik and Menshevik factions of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party at their Second Congress and following the February 1917 revolution, he returned to Petrograd (St Petersburg) from Zurich, and urged the immediate seizure of political power by the proletariat under the slogan "All Power to the Soviets'. In October 1917 he led the Bolshevik revolution and became head of the first Soviet government.
Having suffered numerous debilitating strokes and become more and more isolated from the political life of the country, Lenin finally died on January 21st 1924 in the town of Gorky. The leader's coffin was brought to Moscow two days later and placed in the Kremlin to allow members of the party to pay their final respects. The architect, Alexei Shchusev, after whom one of the city's architectural museums is now named, was commissioned to design and build a temporary mausoleum near the Kremlin walls, where Lenin's body would be placed until his funeral on January 27th.
Shchusev's wooden structure was built in the shape of a cube; the symbol of eternity, and Lenin's body was placed in a glass sarcophagus past which thousands of people filed each day in mourning. Despite the objections of Lenin's widow, Nadezhda Krupskaya, the former leader's party colleagues saw a way to manipulate Lenin's death to their own political advantage and decided to attempt the embalming of his body. Shchusev designed a larger mausoleum, still made from wood but this time forming a stepped pyramid from the top of which party officials could gather and make speeches on important Soviet holidays. When it became apparent that the embalming process had been successful, Shchusev began work on a stone replica of the mausoleum, which was constructed between 1929 and 1930. The mausoleum is a step-pyramid of cubes faced with red granite and black labradorite. It bears the simple inscription "Lenin" over its bronze doors, which were originally flanked by a guard of honor, who changed every hour on the hour.
After Stalin's death in 1853 his body was also embalmed and put on display alongside Lenin's, but he was later removed in 1961 on the orders of Krushchev and buried by the Kremlin wall alongside various other significant party functionaries. Visitors should note that the mausoleum is only open in the mornings, when the rest of Red Square is cordoned off. After 1pm the mausoleum closes and the square is opened again to the public.

Red Square (Russia)

Moscow's famous Red Square earned its name not from the red walls of the Kremlin, nor from the traditional symbol of Communism, but from the Russian word for "red", which many centuries ago also meant "beautiful". The square's vast cobbled expanse is flanked by some of Moscow's most famous tourist attractions.
Along one side stands the eastern wall of the Kremlin, on the next - the brightly-colored spiraling onion domes of St. Basil's Cathedral, to the north - the elegant turn of the century arcades of the GUM department store (mall) and Kazan Cathedral and to the west - Russia's imposing National Historical Museum and the 1990s replica of the Resurrection Gate.
The square first came into being at the end of the 15th century during the reign of Ivan III. It was initially called Trinity Square after the Trinity Cathedral, which stood on the site of the later St. Basil's Cathedral. The name by which we all know the square today originated much later, possibly as late as the 17th century.
Located on the site of the city's old market place, Red Square served as Moscow's equivalent of ancient Rome's Forum - a meeting place for the people. It served as a place for celebrating church festivals, for public gatherings, hearing Government announcements and watching executions, the later becoming particularly commonplace during the reigns of Ivan the Terrible and Peter the Great and during the anarchic Time of Troubles in the early 17th century. Occasionally the Tsar himself would address the people from a platform on the square, named Lobnoye Mesto.
In 1712 Peter the Great moved the Russian capital to St. Petersburg and Red Square temporarily lost its political significance only to regain it two centuries later, when the Bolsheviks moved the capital back to Moscow in 1918. The new Communist regime turned the square into a memorial cemetery and parade ground and in 1924 the Lenin Mausoleum was built to house the embalmed body of the founder of the Communist state. Red Square became the ideological focus of the new Soviet state and some of its ancient building weren't seen as appropriate to the new regime. The Kazan Cathedral and the Iverskaya Chapel with the Resurrection Gates were destroyed to make space for the military parades and demonstrations that frequented the square. The Bolsheviks even planned to knock down the GUM Department Store and the Historical Museum, but the onset of WWII diverted attention from the idea and thankfully it was never realized.
Red Square served as the site of frequent Soviet military parades and demonstrations on major national holidays, such as May 1st (International Worker's Solidarity Day) and November 7th (the Anniversary of the October Revolution). Perhaps the most dramatic and impressive military parade that the square has witnessed took place on November 7th 1941, when Nazi troops were advancing on Moscow and fought just a few miles away from the capital. On that day thousands of Russian soldiers appeared in parades on Red Square and then marched directly to the front line to defend the Soviet capital. The brief parade boosted the confidence and fighting spirit of the Soviet people at the height of their battle with the Nazi forces. After the war, in June 1945, hundreds of Soviet troops marched in columns across the square to celebrate victory over the Nazis and 200 German banners were thrown at the foot of Lenin's Mausoleum.
Today, Red Square is a popular attraction for both Russian and foreign visitors alike. It provides plenty of photographic opportunities, while the area between St. Basil's and the Moscow River is often used for rock and pop concerts.

Niagra Falls, Ontario (Canada)

It's one of those unfortunate 'luck of the draw' things I'm afraid to say, because the majority of the Falls are technically in the United States. This would be fine except that to see it, you have to be on the Canadian side. That's why Niagara Falls lands on Canada's Top-Ten list. To get to the other side there is a pedestrian bridge that links Canada with the United States without the inconvenience of border patrols, yeah!
This tourist town is great for sightseeing and if you happen to be in Toronto, Niagara Falls is not far. Niagara Falls is also a popular place to get married, competing with Las Vegas for favourite wedding destinations. Niagara Falls was also rated as the World's Most Romantic Place.
