Rent Motorcycle Bandung with Guide

Rent Scooter in Bandung –The word “glamping” first appeared in the United Kingdom in 2005.While the word itself is new, the concept that “glamping” connotes, that of luxurious tent-living, is not. In the sixteenth century, the Scottish Earl of Atholl prepared a marvellous glamping experience in the Highlands for the visiting.King James V and his mother. Here, the Duke raised lavish tents and filled them with all the provisions of his own home palace.

Probably the most extravagant example of glamping in history was the Field of the Cloth of Gold, a diplomatic summit in northern France in 1520 between Henry VIII of Englandand Francis I of France. Some 2,800 tents and marquees were erected, and fountains ran with red wine.

At around this same time, the Ottomans had ostentatious, palatial tents transported from one military mission to the next. Entire teams of artisans travelled with the army to erect and maintain these imperial tents. As described by Professor Nurhan Atasoy,

The exquisite ornamentation both inside and out of the tents used by the Ottoman sultans made them imposing dwellings fit for a ruler. On ceremonial occasions tents served to create a splendid theatrical setting, as we see vividly portrayed in miniature paintings depicting banquets, audiences and celebrations which took place in the imperial tent complex over the centuries. The imperial tents were richly decorated as if they were pavilions, and often had designs resembling tiled panels, usually in floral patterns, either in appliés work using cloth of different colours, or embroidered in various stitches using silk and metal thread.
