WTF-DVD-ERIE - "The Erie Canal"... a ditch that opened the nation!    Filmed and produced by Fran & Brooke Reidelberger  Scripted and narrated by Fran Reidelberger   Thomas Jefferson called plans to build it "little short of madness".  James Madison said it was "impractical at best".            "It" is the Erie Canal in New York State: An engineering marvel in 1825, an economic juggernaut throughout the 19th Century, an increasingly popular recreational delight today. In this all new digital video production, filmmakers Fran and Brooke Reidelberger travel the canal system from Albany to Buffalo, sailing in the wake of history, enjoying the tranquil beauty, attending the festivals, visiting the old canal towns, and wondering what our country would be like if the canal had never been built.  Aboard "Chicane", a 65 foot power boat, you will experience the canal and:·  Take a whirlwind tour of Albany, New York state's bustling capital city. Visit "Uncle Sam's" grave and our nation's first school of engineering in Troy.·  "Climb" the Waterford Five, the world's highest series of high lift locks.  The lift is 169 feet.·  Explore the Herkimer "diamond mine" and find your own 500 million-year-old crystals with a diamond-like shape and sparkle.·  Sample real beer and root beer at F.X. Matt Brewery, New York's oldest, in Utica.·  Watch and listen as school children about American Revolutionary War history at Ft. Stanwix in Rome.·  Tour Rome where digging of the canal began in 1817 and visit the grave of Francis Bellamy, the man who wrote the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag.·  Travel the waterway aboard a mule-drawn packet boat at the Erie Canal Village near Rome.·  Attend the Oz Fest and meet the Munchkins in Chittenango, home of L. Frank Baum, the man who wrote the "Wizard of Oz" stories.·  Enjoy a weekend of summer fun at Sylvan Beach on Oneida Lake, part of today's Erie Canal.·  Learn how the canal helped make Syracuse one of the world's premier salt producing centers.  -- Take a dinner cruise and meet a "star-in-the-making" at Baldwinsville. Traveling aboard "Cayuga", a traditional canal boat, you will:·  Enjoy incredible wild life in the Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge.  ·  Visit the canal town of Palmyra, home to the largest collection of hand-woven coverlets in the U.S. and birthplace of the Mormon Religion.·  Watch the world's most unusual bridge in operation in Fairport.  It's listed in "Ripley's Believe It Or Not" 16 times! ·  Tour Rochester, home to Eastman Kodak, Xerox, Bausch & Lomb and a host of educational and cultural attractions, including Eastman House and the Strong Museum. ·  See the church that George Pullman (of Pullman railroad car fame) built in honor of his parents in Albion. ·  Watch and listen as canal artist Arthur Barnes interprets canal life onto canvas in Medina.·  Visit Lockport, site of the most difficult engineering and construction job on the Erie Canal.  Lockport is also the birthplace of volleyball and the fire hydrant.·  Experience Buffalo to learn about the city's personal connection with four U.S. presidents and the story behind "Buffalo Wings".·  Admire the spirit and laugh with the wild and wacky "boat builders" who race for glory in the annual Tonawanda Canal Fest.    ·  Along the way see an "upside down" bridge, a sloping lift bridge, a floating dam, and more!

OTT-DVD-135 - The famous train S1 leads through both Central and South Vietnam, one of the most fascinating countries in South East Asia. In the 19th century Da Nang quickly evolved to become the most important harbour and financial metropolis in Central Vietnam and thus replaced Hoi An as the country's main city. The year 1858 marked the beginning of fast approaching colonisation when French warships attacked Da Nang's bay and natural harbour. The Vietnam S1 train travels from the capital of Hanoi deep into the south of the country. Almost the entire section of the railway line between Da Nang and the southern city of Nha Trang is dominated by vast fields of rice and the scenery features several wonderful mountains and a landscape that is often so spectacular that it is quite overwhelming. Da Lat, the capital of the province of Lam Dong, is known as the City Of Eternal Spring and is a popular holiday resort. It also contains the summer residence of the last emperor of Vietnam. Surrounded by wonderful parks, the summer palace of Emperor Bao Dai is one of the city's most beautiful attractions and was heavily influenced by the French. Now it is surely only a question of time before the VIETNAM S1 Train and this fascinating region of VIETNAM become an integral part of the mainstream tourist map of South East Asia.

OTT-DVD-142 - Singapore is a city of gardens and the heart of South East Asia. It is here that the journey begins on the Eastern & Oriental Express, a nostalgic train journey that has all the exotic atmosphere of colonial times. The history of Singapore began in 1819 with Stamford Raffles, a young official who worked for the British East India Company. Raffles estimated that the natural harbour was perfect for trading ships and thus bought the land from the Sultan Of Johor and founded a trading settlement. The train station exudes the ambience of British colonialism and is an ideal setting for those who love nostalgia. The journey begins and soon we arrive at the Malaysian border. This is the first section of our extraordinary train journey from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur. After eight hours we reach Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia's modern capital city that is relatively young and was established in the middle of the nineteenth century at the junction of the Gombak and Kelang Rivers. The journey continues along splendid route through the jungle that since 1923 has connected Singapore with Bangkok, with Butterworth as the next station from where a bridge and ferry boat lead to the island of Penang that is also known as The Pearl Of The Orient. The next section travels further north to Kanchaburi in Thailand and to the bridge on the River Kwai, a somewhat inconspicuous bridge that once brought infamy to this region. For those who are fascinated by the evocative atmosphere of Colonial times the extra special train journey from Singapore to Bangkok must surely be the journey of a lifetime!

7DY-DVD-135 - North Vietnam is still ruled by communism but in the south the hammer and sickle fades into capitalism that is gradually beginning to dominate all.  One country and two lifestyles, Vietnam has opened up its borders.  It is a country of beautiful landscapes, amicable people and a great cultural heritage.  Hanoi is North Vietnam's lively capital city located in the north of the country and set amid the delta plains of the Red River.  The Chua Mot Cot Pagoda is one of the oldest religious buildings in Hanoi and is a temple built upon a single column in the centre of a small lake. On the shores of the Song Huong, Giang in the heart of Vietnam is a former royal city and today's provincial capital of Hué.  Nine mighty canon are the symbolic guards of the historic citadel.  Beyond its defences are five hundred hectares that contain the Imperial City and also the Forbidden Purple City.  Da Nang's Cham Museum contains a fine collection of Cham sculpture from the surrounding provinces.  It boasts more than three hundred exhibits divided into ten rooms,  with sandstone deities, monsters and heavenly dancers.  With nearly six million inhabitants, Saigon is also known as Ho Chi Minh City.  The Jade Pagoda, the Temple of the Jade Emperor, highlights the country's religious faith.  The interior features Daoism in all its splendour and it was here that it all began, at the junction of the Ben Nghe Canal on the slowly flowing Saigon River.  Vietnam is a colourful land that still contains ancient tribes and exotic landscapes -- a fascinating paradise located on the exotic edge of South East Asia!
