10 Unique Marvels of Architecture

When you combine innovative technologies with human ingenuity and creative ideas, you can implement incredible projects that will become a vital part of future architecture.

Here are ten unique marvels of architecture from ancient and modern times.

1. Chapel of Sound Amphitheatre

The Chapel of Sound Amphitheatre is located in a valley near Beijing. It is a monolithic open-air performance theatre with glimpses of the Ming Dynasty’s Great Wall remnants. The Chapel of Sound is designed to resemble a mysterious boulder that was softly placed on the ground.

2. Harbin Opera House, designed by MAD Architects

This opera house looks like a giant wasps’ nest, but really it is an 850,349 square-foot multi-venue performing arts center in Harbin, designed by the well-known Chinese architect agency MAD.

3. Lonely House, Yokohama, Japan

Built in 1623, this idyllic little house is a dream come true for every introvert out there. But as with all the old dwellings, this one has its fair share of potential issues like the plumbing, possible flash floods in spring, or even the absence of a bathroom. And what do you do in the winter?

4. Sun and Moon pagodas in Guilin, China

The two towers emanate a weird, almost mystical vibe. Even looking at the photo fills people with wonder! Make sure to visit the Sun and Moon pagodas whenever you visit Guilin.

Your Ultimate Guide to Travel in The US in 2021

As we continue to progress through the Covid-19 pandemic, more and more people are beginning to travel again. Being inside for the majority of 2020 and a lot of 2021, many around the US are ready to be out and about and experience life again. It was hard to stay so distant from friends and loved ones for over a year, so now many are planning trips with groups. While it has become more safe with the vaccine continuing to aid in the pandemic, it is also still important to think ahead before traveling. Things have gotten better in terms of virus cases, but we are not totally back to normal, and that applies to vacationing too. There are some important tips to remember if you plan on traveling this year. So if you are ready to learn more about how to safely have fun while on vacation, read on to discover your ultimate guide to travel in the US in 2021. 

Plan Ahead

One of the most important things to remember for travel in 2021 is to plan ahead. It used to be the norm to just choose a location and hit the road the same day. But it is better to think ahead in the time we are in, so that you are prepared for whatever may lay ahead. This will ensure that you and your group have the most fun possible, and can feel as close to a normal vacation as possible. 

Read Up on Local Regulations

During the pandemic, many states created and are still enforcing their own laws regarding Covid-19 procedures. This even applies to cities within the same state, as some cities just a few towns over may require different precautions than another. So if you are traveling out of state, or even to a different region within your state, check out the local laws so that you are prepared to possibly mask up and socially distance yourself.

8 Mysterious Places in South America Worth Visiting

Back in the old pre-Covid days when we could travel around, one of the appeals of going abroad was to examine ancient, mysterious locations and unique natural phenomena. These experiences leave the visitor wondering how these structures came about and for what reason. Where they built with guidance from aliens? Well, the only way to find out is to buy that plane ticket and explore these places yourself! When you’re ready, here are eight mysterious places in South America where the line between magic and reality is blurred. 

1. Monte Roraima — Venezuela

With a summit 9,200 feet high (2,810m) and taking up 12 square miles (31km2) the views from above leave the traveler speechless. It’s the triopoint of Brazil, Guyana and Venezuela, allowing the visitor to enjoy the natural beauty of all three countries. The site is central to many of the myths and legends of the indigenous people. For instance, the Pemon and Kapon natives believe it is the stump of a huge tree from which all of the world’s fruits and vegetables originally grew. 

2. Nazca Lines — Peru

These super huge lines in the Nazca Desert, located in southern Peru, form 70 shapes including that of a lizard, monkey, spider, dog, cat, and for good measure, a human. They go back between 500 BC and 500 AD and until recently were left largely undisturbed due to the dry climate and their isolated location. In spite of the fact that they can only be seen from the sky, the shapes were so accurately designed that some pseudo scientists concluded that it must be the work of ancient astronauts. But nope. In the early 2000s, using very simple tools and careful planning, American skeptic and investigator of the paranormal was able to recreate some of the largest in a matter of days. 

3. Perito Moreno Glacier — Argentina

If you’re going to visit Argentina, a trip to Patagonia is a must. When you’re there, you need to stop by the Perito Moreno Glacier, the only glacier in the world that is still growing. It measures 3.1 miles wide (5km) and is nearly 200 feet (60m) high. Water from Lake Argentino and the Santa Cruz River that flows in the direction of the glacier gradually builds up over time and eventually the pressure results in spectacular raptures. There is no set period in which these occur; sometimes it happens once a year and at other times it might take a decade. So if your dream is to see one, you pretty much just have to get lucky. 

12 Of the Most Colorful Natural Wonders on Earth

The world can be kind of a boring place. Endless cornfields, lawns full of weeds, average-sized oak trees with green leaves. And water! Boo! Nothing makes me want to yawn more than the thought of a colorless, odorless liquid that doesn’t taste like anything. However, compiling a list of nature’s most boring phenomena won’t generate very many clicks. On the other hand, discussing some of the most beautiful natural wonders might just make me a hero around the office. So that’s what I’ve decided to treat you to! Here are 12 colorful places around the world. 

1. Rio Tinto, Spain

Rising in the Sierra Morena Mountains of southwestern Spain, this 60-mile (100 kilometers) river gets its stunning orange and red colors from copper, iron, and other heavy metals. The best way to enjoy the beauty is by visiting the small mining town of Nerva. Note that only about half the length of the river features these colors. Once you reach the town of Nieba it looks like just another boring, non-toxic river. 

2. Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada

Known by First Nation folks as Ho-run-num-nay (Lake of the Little Fishes), this glacial lake located in Banff National Park gets its turquoise color from finely grained rock particles contained within the ice as it melts in the lake. If you’re a big fan of the movie Thelma & Louise, you’ll be happy to know that there also happens to be a Lake Thelma. It’s in Minnesota, but conveniently located near the Canadian border!

3. Fly Geyser, Washoe County, Nevada

The water spewed from this geothermal geyser contains thermophilic algae, which thrive in wet, hot environments and color the rocks hues of green and red. It can be found on private land owned by the Burning Man Project. Yes! The same folks who bring you that Burning Man Festival enjoyed by weirdos from all over!

4. The Lavender Fields of Provence, France

Provence, a geographical region of southeastern France is famous in the summers for its lush lavender fields. To see them with your own eyes, mosey on up to the Luberon and Verdon plateau regions north of Aix-en-Provence and Marseille, or head east past Avignon. But the window is rather brief; they start to blossom around the beginning of June and then by mid-July they’re done-zo.

7 Most Beautiful Royal Palaces In The World

Royal palaces are the kind of place we would all like to live in. They’re huge, they come with a huge staff that takes care of your every whim, and they ooze prestige and status. And sure, there’s more important things in life than feeling important and bragging about how big your house is, but let’s be honest: it’s nice. It’s okay to be proud of what you’ve got, and it’s more than okay to show off what you’ve got if you live in a heckin royal palace!

Let’s take a look at some of the royal palaces around the world that get the most bragging rights. The only downside to these is that you probably won’t get to live in them if you weren’t born in them, but that’s only a technicality.

Peterhof Palace, Saint Petersburg

It’s no small feat to be called the Russian Versailles, and the Peterhof Palace certainly lives up to its name. The palace is filled with excuisitely decorated rooms, each one more luxurious than the rest. It was built in the early 18th century for Peter the Great, and it certainly managed to show the world that Russia had succeeded in its modernisation.

Buckingham Palace, London

If the Queen is willing to spend most of her life there, you can be dang sure that it’s a proper palace. It’s over 300 years old, but – much like its main occupant – it shows no signs of losing any of its splendor and class at its ripe age.

Palais des Papes, Avignon

Being the palace where popes resided from the early 14th century on, this palace certainly deserves a spot in this list. While popes aren’t exactly considered royal family, the Palais des Papes does ooze a certain royal radiance because of its sheer size and level of protection. After the popes moved back to Rome, this palace was actually used by Napoleon himself.

9 Scrumptious Moroccan Dishes You Need to Try

Cooking can be a fun hobby and a great way to explore the world of cuisine, it gives you new flavors and taste combinations that you otherwise wouldn’t have tried before. And if you have a bit of time on your hands and are bored with what you’ve been eating on a daily basis – this is a great way to shake up your routine and find a new favourite dish in the process. We suggest you have a week a month where you try to incorporate a new cuisine into your life. We’re all pretty used to basic Italian dishes, we’ve had enough pizza and pasta in our life, and sushi is not that easy to make, so how about exploring scrumptious Moroccan dishes? You can try to make them or you can just order takeout from your local Moroccan restaurant. Here are some of the tastiest Morrocan dishes you need to try.

1. Harira

Harira is a Morrocan soup made of lentils and chickpeas. It might not sound like the most unusual combo, but it’s the spices and herbs that make it taste absolutely delicious. There’s garlic, harissa, onions, celery, turmeric, cumin, ginger and even cinnamon in this and altogether they create the most delicious flavor profile. The soup also usually has ground meat in it but if you’re vegetarian you can omit this and it’ll still taste great. Served with lemon wedges and a dollop of yogurt it’s the best lunch option ever.

2. Couscous

Couscous is actually a national dish in Morocco and if you think it’s boring you’ve clearly never had it the Moroccan way. They steam it so it’s the perfect consistency and they usually add cooked veggies, chickpeas and slow-cooked meat with various yummy spices. It’s usually served in a big communal plate from which you just take as much as you want. There’s also a sweeter version that incorporates raisins that’s also very tasty.

3. Tagine

Tagina can technically be anything as long as it’s cooked in this special clay pot called a tagine. It’s like a traditional Moroccan domed slow cooker that makes sure whatever you cook in it tastes divine. You can make vegetable tagine or meaty one, but the best thing is that the food cooks in its own juices with additional herbs, and since it cooks slowly it has the time to marinate in all the flavors, honestly everyone should try it. The most popular one is kefta tagine which is made with beef meatballs.

10 Exceptionally Beautiful Places You Don’t Want to Visit

When all this quarantine thing is finally over, people will definitely want to travel and see the world again. But there are both gorgeous places to visit, and areas that the tourists shoud stay away from. At the intersection of these two Venn diagrams are the magical spots that are as beautiful as they are dangerous. From deadly earthquake-prone areas to cities with an abundance of crime. Here is a list of ten places on Earth that you do not want to visit.

1. Sana’a, Yemen
The ancient city of Sana’a has a unique vibe due to its marvelous architecture, but you really don’t want to stay here. This is one of the most politically unstable places in the world with neverending protests, heavily armed police patrolling the streets, and random shots or even explosions echoing through the streets.

2. Grand Canyon, USA
People often think that such a famous tourist spot is perfectly safe, and in general, they are correct. But there have been countless accidents near the river, due to poor equipment and tourists not being fully prepared to tackle this natural wonder. It is also the second most popular place in the United States, where people off themselves.

3. Danakil Desert, Ethiopia
The Danakil Desert in Ethiopia may be one of the harshest locations on the planet, but it is truly a sight to behold. No tourist agency in the world will ever let you visit this desert without signing some sort of a sanity statement, mainly because of the on-going armed conflict with Eritrea where you can get shot, stabbed, and even kidnapped.

4. Naples, Italy
Imagine a huge city with more than a million people living right near a ticking time-bomb filled with hot lava. Naples is surrounded by volcanoes, and if the mountain blows up one day, which it will, it’s only a matter of time, more than a million people may be at risk.

The 7 Largest Wet Markets In The World

Wet markets haven’t really been getting the best press after that whole Covid-19 business. Whether it originated on the Wuhan wet market or not, the whole world is looking at these markets to find a reason to close them down for good. And while the Asian ones might not always get the best scores when it comes to being safe for everyone’s health, wet markets are actually a global phenomenon and not limited to the Chinese ghettos. As long as someone’s selling fresh food on the market, it technically qualifies.

Let’s take a look at some of the biggest wet markets in the world.

Porta Palazzo

This Italian market spans over a 50,000 m² area and is mostly known for having a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. But don’t worry, you can also get cheese or some meat there. And flowers, if that’s your kind of thing.

Otavalo Market

Even Ecuador has its own giant food market. This one doesn’t just sell produce, but you can also find traditional household items there. Among others, there’s a wide assortment of blankets, clothes and even houseware.

Rungis

This is probably the biggest food market you can find. You can get all kinds of high quality food in this market that’s located just off Paris, but getting inside won’t be easy. It opens at midnight, closes in the early morning and is usually only open to locals.

Top 7 Most Mind-Boggling Swimming Pools in the World

Have you ever seen a pool where you can go diving, yachting or swimming next to the sharks? Oh, and let’s not forget the killer view of the untouched tropical landscapes! In general, pools are a great way to spend some quality time, but the following seven beauties are simply out of this world.

1. The largest swimming pool
The largest pool in the world, more than a thousand meters long, is located just a few kilometers from the Pacific Ocean. This is San Alfonso del Mar, in the Algarrobo resort. A logical question arises: why would you choose a big expensive pool over the vast and free ocean? The coast of Chile is quite cold and infested with sharks, so tourists would rather pay more than getting eaten alive. It’s basically a hure artificial lagoon with crystal-clear water. Fun fact, it requires $4 million a year to maintain this beast.

2. The most picturesque pool
Exotic tropical gardens, untamed, wild jungle, an ancient Buddhist temple, – all this you can see with your own eyes while swimming in the two-level pool of the Ubud Hanging Gardens Hotel on the island of Bali. The hotel consists of 38 villas, each with its own swimming pool, but the shared panoramic pool is still the most picturesque and quite popular among the tourists.

3. The longest rooftop pool
Many world-renowned hotels have rooftop hotels, and the longest one of them all is located in Singapore’s Marina Bay Sands Sky Park Hotel. 200 meters above the ground level, this 150-meter-long infinity pool will make you crap your trunks if you’re afraid of heights.

Top 20 Curious Facts About Siberia

The vast expanses of snowy Siberia have been boggling the human imagination for millennia. Untamed, mighty rivers, thick forests, ancient mountains towering over the landscape – all these astonishingly beautiful landmarks can be found in Siberia. To think that humans have been living there since God knows when, and there are still places where no man has ever set foot yet. But I guess it is for the better since everything we touch transforms into an industrial wasteland.

Time to learn a few curious facts about the magical Siberia!

1 The Siberian territory is so vast, you could place any of the European countries many times over.

2 Siberia accounts for 77% of Russia`s land area.

3 Siberian forests and the South American rain forest are the two biggest oxygen suppliers in the world.

4 Siberia lies entirely in Asia since the border between Europe, and Asia is usually marked along the Ural Mountains.

Luxury Airbnb Tree Houses You Can Stay In Once The Lockdown Ends

Traveling will probably be somewhat weirder this year due to the Covid-19 lockdowns all over the globe. We’re barely allowed to go outside, so who would seriously contemplate going to a touristic hotspot in a few months? We’ll probably be allowed to, but that doesn’t mean we should.

If you’re looking for a more solitary traveling experience, there’s always a remote airbnb. And there’s nothing more remote than a tree house. Let’s take a look at some tree houses where you can isolate yourself from the rest of mankind until it’s relatively safe to visit beaches again.

Treehotel, Sweden

This isn’t exactly a single hotel, but an entire range of treetop suites. The most popular one is probably the one shaped like some sort of UFO. The added bonus of these tree houses is that they allow you to watch the Northern Lights, which is always a high point in any trip!

Trinity Beach Tree House, Queensland, Australia

Queensland is one of the most gorgeous parts of Australia, so it only makes sense that they’d capitalise on this by building a rentable tree house. In this case, it would qualify more as a pole home but no one would argue the semantics if they see the luxury inside this huge tree house. It has three bedrooms, a pool, floor-to-ceiling windows, … This is the ultimate luxury tree house!

Dreamy Tropical Tree House, Hawaii

This tree house sitting nicely above the tree tops in Hawaii gives you an amazing 360-degree view of the surrounding area. It’s the ultimate connection to Mother Nature in one of the most beautiful areas in the world.

A Fairy Tale Village In The Netherlands With No Roads

Have you ever wanted to live in a fairy-tale place? Somewhere with cute little houses and rivers and lots of fresh flowers. Perhaps you’d even want to ride a boat for a change, you know, instead of using a car. A place like that exists and it’s straight up out of your dreams.

It’s called Giethoorn, it’s a village in the Netherlands that was founded in the 1200s and it’s absolutely magical and beautiful and quaint and all the best things. And you know what’s the cherry on top? There are no roads here.

Every single house in this village looks like a Disney character could live here. Look at it! Doesn’t that look like a place Snow White would be living at? Or perhaps Belle would spend her summers here.

Countries You Should Avoid Visiting (for now) Because of Coronavirus

With the scary coronavirus rampaging the world, it can be tricky to pick a country where you’d be safe. Of course, you can use Google, like the rest of us, but since you’re already here, let’s see where you should and shouldn’t go!

The number of infected people worldwide as of March 6, has exceeded 100,000. The nasty coronavirus was spotted in almost 90 countries. These figures are supported by the data from gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com, where Johns Hopkins University’s Center for Systems Science and Engineering (Johns Hopkins CSSE) statistics are published in real-time.

Top 10 Spring Holiday Destinations In US For 2020

The long and boring winter is over and spring is like a new beginning. If you live in a place that actually gets proper winter you know what it’s like to wake up and feel like it’s the first day of spring. The air gets fresher, the sun shines brighter and warmer, nature is waking up and you see first flowers and green leaves. It’s pretty magical, it can feel like stepping into a Disney movie. If that’s what you’re aiming for or perhaps you’re just looking for a great place for a spring break we think these are the places you should travel to for a spring holiday in the US.

1.Miami Beach, Florida

The weather is incredible, the place is beautiful, everyone’s in a good mood and down to have fun – what’s not to like about Miami Beach? There’s also a plethora of great restaurants with delicious food and the nightlife scene is just perfect for spring break.

2.Honolulu, Hawaii

Hawaii is honestly one of the best if not THE best destination for a trip within the US. It’s warm, the nature is beautiful, the views are outstanding, the food is so delicious you might fall into a food coma, just FYI. Who doesn’t want to spend a week or so in a vacation paradise with a nightlife that’s popping?

3.South Padre Island, Texas

Some people will recognize this as a typical destination for spring break and think it’s cliche, but some people have never even been here before. It’s a small island but it’s the perfect scene for a classic spring break experience. Party all night and relax all day – sounds like a good deal to me.

4.San Francisco, California

It’s California so good weather is guaranteed, and it’s San Francisco, so you know it’s going to be hella cool. The nightlife in this city is out of this world, the cuisine is incredible, the sightseeing opportunities are endless and the community here is just the best. And those trams are so freaking charming you just have to hitch a ride.

10 Dangerous Volcanoes That You Should Fear

When you think about volcanoes, several descriptions come to mind. Awe-inspiring. Beautiful. Dangerous. Destructive. You might think that volcanos that erupt frequently are the ones that should worry everybody the most, but in fact the volcanoes that haven’t erupted in centuries pose the highest risk, especially if they’re located in heavily populated areas. The reason for this? When they go a long time without exploding, the mounting pressure builds up, so when it does occur, the results are especially devastating. But don’t worry; you’ll be fine. Unless you happen to live near the volcanoes on this list anyway. 

10. Campi Flegrei, Italy

If you’re concerned about apocalyptic-level volcano eruptions, the super volcano Campi Flegrei should be at the top of your list. It’s 18 miles wide and part of it is under the Bay of Naples, an area with 6 million people, 1 million of whom live inside the crater. Although it hasn’t erupted since 1538, you can never rule out the possibility that it will happen again. Scientists believe that if it does occur, the strength would be between 100 and 1,000 times greater than the devastating Mount St. Helens eruption of 1980. 

9. Cotopaxi, Ecuador

Situated in the Cordillera Central mountain range of central Ecuador, Cotopaxi is one of the tallest volcanoes on the planet, reaching nearly 20,000 feet, or around seven Burj Khalifas. Unfortunately, it also happens to be one of the country’s most active volcanoes, recording 50 eruptions over the past 250 years. While its most recent eruption was all the way back in 1904, many feared that it was on the verge of another one in 2005. Considering that it’s located near a heavily populated area, any major eruption could result in a serious human catastrophe. 

8. Galeras Volcano, Colombia

This large volcano is located near the city of Pasto, and has been active for more than a million years! As a result of long-term hydrothermal alteration, debris avalanches are frequent, which pose a danger to the people who inhabit the area. In 1993, an eruption killed 9 people, 6 of whom were scientists studying the volcano. There were also two eruptions in 2010. 

7. Kelud Volcano, Indonesia

The most active volcano in East Java, Kelud is known for being extremely violent, with frequent explosions that have killed thousands of people. The worst of these eruptions took place in 1914, which led to the draining of its crater lake, with the resulting mudflows killing 5,000 people. Another major explosion took place in 2014, with a huge column of ash drifting over the Indian Ocean. 

9 Amazing Destinations You’ll Want to Visit in the Winter

Winter is a cold time of the year guys. Unless you live in Australia, where it’s the hottest time of the year since they’re in the southern hemisphere. But that’s neither here nor there. The point is: when the snow starts to fall and the chilly wind begins to blow, you just want to stay at home and wrap yourself in blankets, right? No! You want to get out there and make the most of the winter wonderland destinations both near and far. But with so many to choose from, where should you go? Thankfully, we’ve got you covered. We scoured around searching for the best places in the world that make for idyllic winter vacations. Check out these 9 stunning locations to spend your winter vacation.

Lviv, Ukraine

Lviv in western Ukraine has everything you could possibly need: cobblestone streets, cozy coffee houses, an elegant opera house, amazing (and cheap!) food, an eclectic mix of architecture influenced by the Hapsburg Empire, the Polish Kingdom, and…Nikita Krushchev, of course. In winter, the city center gets transformed into a true Christmas paradise, with wooden booths offering roasted meats, cookies, hot mulled wine, and medovukha, a honey-infused vodka drink that you will want to consume in moderation, unless you’re cool with passing out in the snow.

Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada

If you only visit one national park in Canada in your entire life, you might as well make the trip to Banff National Park. In the winter time, the snow covers the Canadian Rockies and provides unforgettable views. You can go hiking, ice fishing, and take part in all of your favorite winter sports. Perchance you’ll encounter a penguin or twelve? No. But the buffalo and other enchanted wildlife roam the area.

Harbin, China

From March through December, Harbin is just a regular Chinese city. But in January and February, it gets transformed into a magical world of ice. Visitors can explore castles made of ice and even go down an ice slide. But beyond their world-famous ice sculptures, you can enjoy dog-sledding, ice skating, and marvel at the lantern art.

Interstellar Themed Restaurant In Mexico

Interstellar was a very strange movie. Some people loved it, some people hated it, a lot of people didn’t really get it the first time they watched it and they were too lazy to rewatch it again. But if there’s one thing we can all agree on – Interstellar had some pretty stellar visuals.

After all, it did get a BAFTA and an Oscar for Visual Effects. So if you want to relive some of that wonder you felt when watching the movie but in a more realistic setting, there’s a restaurant in Mexico you should definitely visit.

The restaurant is located in Mexico City, Mexico and it took three different creative studios to design this place located inside the Citibanamex Center. The idea was to design something that will offer a dining experience that will feel truly out of this world.

Top 9 Reasons Why People Travel

Travel is more accessible than ever these days. We no longer need to take a train or travel in a car for days to see a new country. You don’t have to spend weeks being seasick on a boat to cross the ocean. We can just get a cheap ticket for a low-cost airline and be in a completely different country in a matter of hours. So yeah, we travel because we can. But that’s not the only reason people travel. Here are the top 9 reasons why people travel.

To Escape

Escapism is one of the biggest reasons people travel. Sometimes you just want to get away from work, family, responsibilities, chores and problems of any sort and the best way to do it is to put some physical distance between yourself and the thing you want to escape from. So travelling to a different city or country is a great way to do that. Sometimes it’s not even about problems, your life could be going great, but you just need to escape it for a little bit so that when you come back you have a newfound appreciation for it.

To Celebrate

On the bright side, people also love travelling to celebrate something. Destination weddings are becoming more and more popular every year, and lots of people travel for their birthday or anniversary these days too. It’s a great gift if you think about it. You could get normal and practical gifts for your birthday, something tangible, but there’s a chance that it will eventually break or get lost, but the memories you make on a birthday trip – those will last a lifetime.

To Relax

Another popular reason for travel is to relax. And if you don’t live in tropical heaven with good weather, sandy beaches and perfectly clear ocean water – you can always just book a trip to a place like that and go. Most people enjoy a relaxing trip once in a while, away from phones, emails and all sorts of work-related things. Just you, the sounds of the sea and a nice big Mojito.
