Top 10 places to make a wish
What are your favorite places to make wishes? We gonna tell yo abot some most popular: from poured naked girls in Vegas to scarab monument in Egypt.
1. Black Madonna.
This statue is installed in Santa Maria de Montserrat, the Benedictine Abbey that situated in Catalonia, Spain. Black Madonna is one of the most important saints here. It's believed that if you touch here and make a wish it comes true in three months.
2. Tünnes und Schäl.
These are two guys, who meet you in Köln (Cologne), Germany. They are the main characters of loсal stories and jokes. Stand on their boots, grab the nose of one them, make a wish -- done!
3. Piglet from Florence.
When the tourists meet this nice piggy in Florence, Italy, they try to rub its nose. Actually that's not enough. You must also put a coin in its mouth. If the coin falls down through the grid under the pig, the wish comes true. But that works only if you are lucky in the very first time.
4. Scarab Monument.
This statue remained on the territory of Karnak temple complex, Egypt, seems to be the biggest monument of this insect. It was built when the Amenophis III ruled. Scarab was always the symbol of life after death, and now it represents the luck. Making a wish you should walk around the pillar with the statue seven times counterclockwise.
5. The tree of wishes.
If you spend your time in Kronschtadt near St. Petersburg, Russia, you may find the tree of wishes. It is 4 meters high and has eyes, ear and smile on its trunk. If you want the wish to come true, write it down on paper, wrap the 5-rubles coin in it and throw it right into the nest of the cast iron owl, then run around three times. You can also whisper your dream to the ear on the trunk or to saddle the statue of the little deer beside.
6. The chair of wishes.
On the main square of Berdiansk, Ukrain, you can find the chair of wishes. Just sit on it and pronounce it carefully. Off course, it's not the only one in the world. The more such chairs you saddle the closer you get to something you're yearning for.
7. The book of wishes.
In Angarsk, Russia, there is love avenue, where you can find the giant book of wishes poured out of the iron. Make a wish, then put your hand on its page, then go and wait for peace in earth, or what else would you wish.
8. Huff and puff siskin (Tschizhick-Pizhick). If you are in St. Petersburg with the tour and with the guide, he won't let you miss this statue of Tschizhick-Pizhick. It can be interpreted in English as huff and puss siskin or frisky siskin. It's just the little bird, but the roots of this name go down in history till the times, when there was Imperial law school, and its students were compared to siskins because of its bright colours. If you want your wish to come true, throw a coin so that it could fall on the base, not in the water. You can raise your chances, if you are drunk enough to behave like this guy, but is it really necessary? Don't think so.
9. Victor Noir Monument
Everybody heard something about Pere Lachaise Cemetery in Paris. Here you can find a lot of famous dead people -- and. For example, the sculpture of Victor Noir, the french journalist shot a long time ago. This guy is more therapist than the wish maker -- he could actually help the men to get back the masculine strength they once had.
10. -
Where do you think it situatedd? Off course in Las-Vegas. Someone at once worked out the custom to stroke the one that you consider to be the the luckiest before you go gambling and losing everything you actually have.
11.-
We have actually one more for you. This is the statue of St. John of Nepomuk that is built on Charles Bridge in Prague. He was the personal priest of Charles IV wife, and the king once wanted to know what his darling had confessed about. John of Nepomuk didn't say a word. Then there were the tortures, and John of Nepomuk still kept silent. Then they dropped him in the river Vltava, where, according to the legend, the shining of 5 stars appeared.
There is engraving on the base of St. John of Nepomuk statue depicting him in the bag. Rub it and make a wish -- it will probably come true.
Do you believe in some of these legends? What other do you know? Share your thoughts?

Places to see in ( Paris - France ) Saint Sulpice
Saint-Sulpice is a Roman Catholic church in Paris, France, on the east side of the Place Saint-Sulpice within the rue Bonaparte, in the Odéon Quarter of the 6th arrondissement. At 113 metres long, 58 metres in width and 34 metres tall, it is only slightly smaller than Notre-Dame and thus the second largest church in the city. It is dedicated to Sulpitius the Pious. Construction of the present building, the second church on the site, began in 1646. During the 18th century, an elaborate gnomon, the Gnomon of Saint-Sulpice, was constructed in the church.
The present church is the second building on the site, erected over a Romanesque church originally constructed during the 13th century. Additions were made over the centuries, up to 1631. The new building was founded in 1646 by parish priest Jean-Jacques Olier (1608–1657) who had established the Society of Saint-Sulpice, a clerical congregation, and a seminary attached to the church. Anne of Austria laid the first stone.
Construction began in 1646 to designs which had been created in 1636 by Christophe Gamard, but the Fronde interfered, and only the Lady Chapel had been built by 1660, when Daniel Gittard provided a new general design for most of the church. Gittard completed the sanctuary, ambulatory, apsidal chapels, transept, and north portal (1670–1678), after which construction was halted for lack of funds.
In 1732 a competition was held for the design of the west facade, won by Servandoni, who was inspired by the entrance elevation of Christopher Wren's Saint Paul's Cathedral in London. The 1739 Turgot map of Paris shows the church without Oppenord's crossing bell-tower, but with Servandoni's pedimented facade mostly complete, still lacking however its two towers. Unfinished at the time of his death in 1766, the work was continued by others, primarily the obscure Oudot de Maclaurin, who erected twin towers to Servandoni's design. Servandoni's pupil Jean Chalgrin rebuilt the north tower (1777–1780), making it taller and modifying Servandoni's baroque design to one that was more neoclassical, but the French Revolution intervened, and the south tower was never replaced.
Inside the church to either side of the entrance are the two halves of an enormous shell (Tridacna gigas) given to King Francis I by the Venetian Republic. They function as holy water fonts and rest on rock-like bases sculpted by Jean-Baptiste Pigalle. Pigalle also designed the large white marble statue of Mary in the Lady Chapel at the far end of the church. The stucco decoration surrounding it is by Louis-Philippe Mouchy.
The church has a long-standing tradition of talented organists that dates back to the eighteenth century. In 1862, Aristide Cavaillé-Coll reconstructed and improved the existing organ built by François-Henri Clicquot. The case was designed by Jean-François-Thérèse Chalgrin and built by Monsieur Joudot. In Saint-Sulpice, Sunday organ recitals are held on a regular basis (Auditions des Grandes Orgues à Saint Sulpice, following the High Mass, starting around 12:00 noon). The Sunday High Mass is preceded by a 15-minute Prelude of the Great Organ, starting at 10:45 am.
