Today we are taking The Venice Simplon Orient Express in a Grand Suite, all the way to Venice, through three countries. This is not only the world’s most iconic, but arguably the most luxurious sleeper train. Check it out!
DO YOU LIKE CAVIAR?
Inside Europe's largest farm
Agroittica Lombarda Group in Italy produces 15% of the world's caviar. We visited Ars Italica's farm, where there are four species of sturgeons, and we learn the process of farming this delicacy.
YES, SOME TREES HAVE EMAILS
It began as a bit of creative problem-solving. Some trees in Melbourne had dangerous branches that needed to be trimmed and other issues, prompting city officials to give them ID numbers and email addresses where people could report problems. Now these trees are getting emails...
KIMONO HAUTE-COUTURE
When Yozaemon Chikiriya established his garment business, Chiso, in Kyoto, his customers were monks who required fine clerical vestments. That was 1555. More than four centuries later, the company’s robes are coveted as luxury garments, and Chiso has found itself among the last of Japan’s bespoke kimono houses.
From Our Global Community...
Interested in our IVLP Program?

Check out this upcoming event!

There are always so many things going on within our International Visitor Leadership Program that it is hard to keep track. A few months ago our IVLP staff had a virtual meeting between international photojournalists and local high school students participating in the University of St. Thomas' ThreeSixty Journalism program. One of the journalists was from Cameroon and so was one of the students. Next week the State Department is hosting a special program with some of the photojournalists on how they have documented the Covid era, and the Cameroonian journalist invited the Minnesota student to co-moderate the program with him. A true Global Minnesota connection!

So don't miss it and come hear from international photojournalists as they share stories and photos of life in their community during the Covid Era. Photojournalists are participating in the U.S. Department of State, International Visitor Leadership Program special initiative, "A Global Moment in Time".
