Podcasts about gold museum

Have you ever found something in the ground? Maybe you have found some cool rocks, or some coins. What if you found an animal from thousands of years ago? 如果你在地底下發現了幾千年前的動物，怎麼辦呢？ That's what happened in Canada. A worker was digging a hole in the ground. He was looking for gold. Instead, he found some kind of animal! In fact, it was a baby mammoth. 加拿大就有一個工人，挖洞想要找黃金，結果發現了一頭小長毛象！ A mammoth is like an elephant, with lots and lots of fur. They lived in really cold places, so they needed lots of fur to help them keep warm, like they were wearing a big sweater! 長毛象長得像大象，因為住在很冷的地方，所以全身長滿毛來保暖，像是穿了一件毛衣。 The worker saw that this animal still had fur. Later, he found it had lived thirty thousand years ago. 這個工人看到他所發現的動物有毛，而且是三萬年前的生物！ Scientists came to study this animal. It is very interesting, because there are no mammoths alive today. The scientists found the mammoth was a baby girl. 因為現今已經沒有長毛象活著。科學家發現那隻長毛象是母的。 Now the worker is digging for gold again, but he will always remember the mammoth he found. 這個工人現在又回去挖黃金了，但他永遠不會忘記他找到的長毛象。 He thinks one day he may even find the baby mammoth's momma. ________________________________ Vocabulary 想要挖金礦，卻找到長毛象！ 1. gold 黃金 Would you like to visit the Gold Museum this weekend? 這周末想不想去黃金博物館？ Gold?

Travel To Colombia | Safety | Language | Destinations https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1533699224246-6dc3b3ed3304?ixlib=rb-1.2.1&ixid=eyJhcHBfaWQiOjEyMDd9&auto=format&fit=crop&w=500&q=80 Photo by Flavia Carpio on Unsplash Morning! This is Megan having a moment of out-loud truth. Colombia was never on my radar. My impressions were based on damning news cycles and comedy bits from popular sit comes like Modern Family. I thought Colombia = danger. https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1560957123-1f12158888ed?ixlib=rb-1.2.1&ixid=eyJhcHBfaWQiOjEyMDd9&auto=format&fit=crop&w=500&q=80 Photo by Jorge Gardner on Unsplash @gardnerjorge However, that is one of the reasons I wanted to have Joni Wu on the program. I saw that she was on a trip there and immediately asked if she would like to be on the podcast. Joni has impeccable and discriminating taste. She usually travels to new destinations to research new options for her luxury seeking clients. With this in mind my impressions started to change. https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1534943441045-1009d7cb0bb9?ixlib=rb-1.2.1&ixid=eyJhcHBfaWQiOjEyMDd9&auto=format&fit=crop&w=500q=80 Photo credit Ricardo Gomez Angel @ripato on Unsplash Right away, we talk safety and the locals deep regrets that "danger" is the impression tourists might have about their country. After interviewing Joni I have to admit a great curiosity about Colombia and putting it on my list. Post Covid-19 travel restrictions being lifted I want to go to Colombia. After we move back to the United States it will be in easy striking distance! In the show notes you will find the Colombia Board of tourism's website. It is a great resource and will give you a great idea of different climates, geography, national events and THE FOOD or Colombia. They also have great videos to wet your travel appetite. Forth coming will be Joni's show notes for the topics discussed on this episodes. Notes Prepared By Joni Wu: M: If people want to find you online where can they find you? ASTA: https://www.travelsense.org/advisors/joni-wu/ LUXE: https://www.luxetm.com/travel-experts/z4ujr3fj4w257eqy5y2uvt24y04xz2 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonigwu/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/joni.wu My blog www.tofeelalive.com M: Where are we going today? J: Colombia! It was the last trip I went on before everything shut down. I got back March 4th and was self-quarantining the week after. M: Why? J: It’s one of the most biodiverse countries in the world. One list had it ranked #2 with only Brazil above it and Indonesia with all of its many islands at #3. Easy to get to with direct flights from a number of major US hubs. M: Let’s get some basics covered quickly. What language skills does a person need in order to navigate in Colombia? J: Spanish speaking country so it’s similar to traveling in most non-English speaking countries but most working in tourism speak English. M: How about currency and money? Do travelers need cash or cards? J: Cards are widely accepted but you’ll want to have cash on hand for things like souvenirs and snacks from small vendors and generally any smaller purchases. Currency is Colombian peso which is different than Mexican peso. Some vendors will accept US dollars but you might get a lower exchange rate and if you only have larger bills, you’ll receive the difference in Col pesos or they may not accept it. M: Are there safety concerns? J: People always ask that due to all the media around drug trade and understandably so. But the country has done a great job of cleaning that up and making it very safe to travel. Of course there’s your standard crime that’s prevalent in all big cities and tourist destinations so you’ll want to be aware of your surroundings but nothing crazy. There are some remote areas where the drug cartels still have operations but those aren’t any places a tourist would make their way to and as advisors, we rely on local tour operators who are very familiar with where to avoid. M: You specialize in luxury travel? I was surprise to see you in Colombia. IS this a destination for the luxury traveler? J: Yes! Although it is popular with backpackers and budget travelers due to the value we talked about, there are so many great offerings for the luxury traveler! And everyone loves a good value! In popular tourist spots, you have luxury hotels and dining as we mentioned. For those wanting to get out of the tourist destinations, there are small luxury lodges and private villas. Also private drivers/guides/naturalists, activities like diving in the Caribbean and exclusively curated experiences for any interest like an avid bird watcher as Colombia has the most species of birds in the world. M: The exchange rate is pretty favorable for US travelers. Can you talk about the value travelers will experience choosing Colombia? J: In addition to exchange rate, everything is quite inexpensive compared to US standards. They earn much lower wages so things are priced accordingly. And since they receive tourists from all over, including other South and Central American countries, they don’t price gauge towards high wage Westerners as much as some destinations do. For example, you can stay at 5-star International brand city center hotel in Bogota for $300 a night whereas similar accommodations would easily double that in another capital city like Mexico City for example. And you can have a Michelin quality dining experience with wine for under $30 p/p M: Let’s start in Bogota. What can people expect from this city? J: It’s the capital city so there’s the usual – a big square with old buildings, a downtown, great dining, nightlife, museums, shopping. The Gold Museum is a big attraction and it had a lot of artifacts but I’m not a museum person. National museums are free in Colombia! There’s also a big public market which is something I love to do when I travel. It’s also known for graffiti street art with murals all over the city and you can do a self-led walking tour or go on a guided one. We had the opportunity to learn how to do graffiti art with a local artist which. Some of us did better than others, mine was hideous but it was a cool experience. One of the best experiences was playing Tejo. They joke that it’s their national sport since they don’t really have one. But it’s basically a game where you throw these metal pucks at a mud clay board and try to get it stuck. If you hit one of the explosive triangles, it makes a loud noise and everyone screams and loses their mind. It’s kind of like horseshoes or cornhole but way more fun and everyone drinks beer while they play. What I wasn’t expecting was how cold it would be! I thought Colombia was tropical weather all over but Bogota is actually a plateau in the Andes at 8600ft elevation which means it’s chilly year round, average around 60s. M: Let’s move to Cartagena on the coast. Is this a traditional port town or more of a resort and sun bathing spot? J: It’s totally a colonial port town. The Old Town is walled and definitely the place to stay if you’re only staying a short time since everything is walkable. You only need a day or two to explore Cartagena but I could stay there for weeks just hanging out. There’s nightlife, dining, and what makes it special is that traveler’s vibe driven in part by tourism and a digital nomad community since cost of living is low but has a lot to offer. It kind of reminds me of a Bali before it became as mainstream. There’s a misconception that it’s a beach town. It’s on the Caribbean coast, the weather is hot and humid, and there is a beach but it’s not great to look at. For a nice beach, there are and day trips out to Baru, accessible by land and boat, and nearby Rosario islands which are so stunning. For beach/view lovers with the budget, I’d recommend staying a couple of nights at Las Islas in Baru which is part of Leading Hotels and it’s amazing. All the rooms are individual bungalows, either as a treetop or seafront. You can even swim to breakfast (which is included in the rates). And they have a private island in the Rosario islands that you can take a 5 minute boat ride over to and spend the day relaxing there. Anything I say won’t do it justice so I’ll make a Instagram post on it with photos so you guys can see what I mean. M: Now tell me about this “Gringo trail”..? J: It’s like the popular path that Westerners stay within and includes Bogota, Cartagena, Medellin, and the coffee region near Salento. Colombian coffee is some of the most prized in the world so they’ve done a good job promoting tourism to visit the coffee farms, do tastings, see small towns, and explore nature. On the Caribbean side, other places like Santa Marta, the island of San Andres, Barranquilla (famous in Colombia for their Carnival celebration), and Tayrona National Park are included in the “Gringo Trail” but much less known to American travelers. M: Can we talk about some of the less traveled places in Colombia? These type of places will be high on peoples to-do lists… if they can get there. Let’s start with Tayrona Nation Park J: I’m dying to go to Tayrona. If I had known about it prior, I would’ve extended my trip make it there. It has beautiful Caribbean waters on one side, and tropical mountain on the other. That landscape is a dream. Google image it and you’ll know what I mean. Also on the Caribbean side for the adventurous, there’s a 30-mile trek to the Lost City that starts with a 2-hour car ride from the beach resort town of Santa Marta. Then you trek for several days to get to the Lost City which are ruins older than Machu Picchu. I hear that trek is just magical and walking is the only way to get to the ruins. But it’s not for the faint of heart as you are in a jungle and there are only very basic camping/bunk lodging along the route. Like the Inca Trail, you have to go with a licensed guide. G Adventures offers it. M: Are there other places to visit outside of the Gringo Trail? J: There are so many places to go! Colombia is one of the most biodiverse places. There are many remote places welcoming tourists – you can visit the Amazon! I don’t think the infrastructure is quite ready for luxury clients to the Amazon but there other remote options with luxury accommodations. As travel advisors, we use local tour operators that know where to go and can curate experiences to client’s preferences. M: Let’s go glamping! Tell us where we can clamp among some spectacular flora and fauna J: I learned about this place called El Nido Condor Ecolodge in the Andes and it looks incredible. You’re in luxury glamping huts on the edge of a cliff and the condors nest is right under you so you see them flying out from your room. I’m not even into bird watching but it’s a bird watchers paradise. There’s also hiking and biking tours, star gazing, and night treks. There’s also a luxury glamping called Corocora owned by Galavanta, a luxury DMC part of Virtuoso. It’s like a safari with wildlife drives, canoeing, Colombia cowboy experiences. All are eco-friendly. M: Lastly, because I know you are adventurous - did you eat anything super adventurous on your trip? J: Most of the cuisine I’ve had before but prepared in local ways which were new to me like amazing arepas and Caribbean inspired flavors. We did an exotic fruit tasting which was really cool because I did get to try a lot of fruit that I never had before, many of which come from the Amazon. Special Guest: Joni Wu.

Curator Juana Berrío and artist Delcy Morelos visit the Gold Museum in Bogotá, which houses the world's largest collection of pre-conquest gold artifacts. They talk about the cultural differences of valuing gold objects highlighting intrinsic, economic, ceremonial or environmental aspects; the uses of plants with power; the poporo; human-animal bodies; and how to overcome the muteness of those distant objects made by eradicated ethnicities.

Wednesday 10 August 2016 Senior Historian at the Australian War Memorial, Peter Burness, discusses his new research on Charles Bean’s Western Front diaries. Peter talks about these remarkably candid diaries and what they reveal about Bean, who was Australia’s official war correspondent throughout the First World War. Bean’s position took him to London, the Salisbury Plains and every important Australian battlefield in France and Belgium. Mixing with all ranks, Bean sheltered in the trenches under enemy shell-fire or took up vantage points from which to gain unique perspectives on the enormity of the actions. Most importantly, he always kept a focus on the ordinary soldier. This talk was recorded at the Gold Museum in Ballarat as part of the Shrine's regional lecture series.
