In the US, the first "Disneyland" was opened
July 17, 1955
July 17, 1955 in Anaheim, south of Los Angeles (California, USA), the distinguished American animator Walt Disney held a magnificent opening ceremony of "Disneyland", a grand entertainment park for children and their parents.July 17, 1955
The idea of creating "Disneyland" came about when Walt Disney was walking with daughters in the park. While the children rode on the carousel, their father sat patiently on the bench and waited for the daughters. During these walks, he came to the conclusion that America is very short of a place where it would be interesting to spend time for both adults and children. Then Disney decided to create such a place himself.
However, this was not enough for Disney, and in 1963 he began to implement an even more ambitious idea - "Project X". He bought a suitable piece of land in Florida, where the construction of a new park began. In October 1971 the "The Walt Disney World" was opened.
In 1983, his "Disneyland" appeared in Tokyo, and in 1992 - in Paris. On their streets you can shake hands with the characters of Disney cartoons Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, ride a train, a cart with a horse harness or on a cable car. And generally get a lot of positive emotions!
Holidays
Ethnographer's Day
The birthday of the traveler Nikolay Miklukho-Maklaya became the date of the professional holiday of ethnographers.
The famous scientist studied the indigenous population of Southeast Asia, Australia and Oceania, including the Papuans of the northeast coast of New Guinea. This beach in the Russian-language literature is called Maclay Coast.
For the first time, the professional holiday of ethnographers was celebrated in the late 1970s on the initiative of the first head of the department of ethnography and anthropology at the Faculty of History of St. Petersburg State University Rudolf Its.
A well-chosen time, midsummer, added popularity to this day. After all, summer is the traditional time for ethnographic practices. Therefore, the holiday quickly gained popularity, and the number of specialists celebrating it is growing every year.
To date, no common tradition of celebrating the Day of the ethnographer has developed. Each organization or expeditionary detachment has its own unwritten rules. For example, ethnographic or local history museums organize special exhibitions or free visits to their expositions. In the expeditions the holiday includes a solemn feast with the indispensable pronouncing of toasts in honor of Miklouho-Maclay and Its. In addition, on the Day of the ethnographer, neophytes usually take their “dedication” - people who participate in an ethnographic expedition for the first time.
