World Most dangerous Airport
Madeira International Airport (Cristiano Ronaldo) on the Portuguese island of Madeira in the Atlantic Ocean is also known as Funchal Airport because of its amazing construction, one of the world's most dangerous airports. The famous Princess Juliana Airport on the Caribbean island of Saint Martin is world-famous for its seafood because the end of only one 2,300-foot [2,300 m] road is very close to the shore. The short road at Princess Juliana Airport - considered one of the busiest airports in the Caribbean and one of the most dangerous in the world - means planes must be approaching 60 meters from sea level.

From the Cult of Celebrity to Politics in Scottish Theatre and the Art of the Performance
This Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning will endeavour to highlight, examine and scrutinise the opportunities open to young performers in Scotland over the last decade. It will also examine the plight of variety theatre in Scotland since its roots over a century ago. Also, it will study the benefits of business theory in today’s entertainment sector and explore performance theory and the role it plays in enhancing a performer. On the back of the success of television shows such as ‘The X Factor’ and ‘Britain’s Got Talent,’ ever-increasing amounts of potential performers are signing up for drama and theatrical schools throughout Scotland. These schools, one could argue, cater to the growing demand among young people to follow in the footsteps of performers being elevated to instant success. But are these schools just exploiting youngsters who dream of instant success in this age of celebrity? What of those who want to make the entertainment sector their vocation? What does Scotland have to offer them? Are there any opportunities to progress naturally through an established circuit of venues, like the entertainment icons of the past, or is there a void hindering the production of new Scottish homegrown talent?

Their previous projects, such as arthouse film The Fifth Season, South America-focused Altiplano and Mongolian-based Khadak, all share a special interest in glorious images and appreciation of nature. This time, the directors’ duo delivers a delightful mockumentary, narrating the imaginary story of a king’s road trip through the Balkans.
