Aren't we lucky people, these days. Most of us that is. Money is flowing for those who have, of course, but also more and more, for those who have not, or are on the edge of having. It's been a long trip for so many, but all are welcome. To the…

Are you going? Part 1. As we do, we were poking around on the electric interwebs looking for interesting content. Out of nowhere, the phrase and accompanying tune found its way to the forefront of my cranium. Those who are aware of the rather lovely British city will be clued-in. …
Travelers are spoiled with choice these days. Some travelers are just spoiled. Sure, twerking in front of your friends is swell, but is it really necessary when it comes to walking the planet? The answer, of course is a resounding no. Share and share alike, but be a grownup about it. …
Noooo. It's Butlins! We're all about fun. And we're all about history. Put them together and the fun never stops. There was a period in history where more and more families were seeing more and more money in their bank accounts. This also aligns with them having more children who…
We're not trying to make you go, oh no, no no. But, if love is in your heart for almost everything, we have something here that is nothing but wonderful. Imagine watching a crumbled mess of a building almost be
miraculously transformed into a place anyone would want to stay in, let alone…
For many of us, religion is not a big thing in our lives. We might reference it during the holidays, or where other instances suggest we do, but this is kind of rare. But what about Nuns in this day and age? Religious people become nuns as a way to dedicate their entire lives…
For those of us who follow this and actually care about the planet and what we leave our families and children, based on current research, development, and industry goals, we are on a path toward having aircraft that don't destroy the atmosphere, but it will be a gradual process rather than a sudden switch. …

Oz is one of those places that everyone wants to visit, and that's no surprise, when you consider the depth and breadth that the country has to offer, even if it is rather far away from where you might be at the moment. Why is that? Perth's unique character as a travel destination stems…
So . . . .you've got to please yourself. Le Corbusier, like most artists, was simultaneously a prophet and a pariah of sorts of the architectural world, a figure whose influence was as immense as the controversy he inspired. He was admired for his revolutionary vision of a new, functionalist architecture and criticized for his…
Sit down, calm down and watch this super explainer that, after a few review of the video, will help you be in a much better place, instead of the place where you though you were expecting to be when it comes to Japanese rail. Luckily, we have an expert who will make the magic…
This could be your foot in the door, or your escape out the window of sorts. Plus, it's a very civil place to be in this rather fraught day and age. Even better, when you inform your chums, the bragging rights will shoot through the roof. Longyearbyen is the northernmost city in…
Is this typical European efficiency or someone's idea of a joke. Or both? The Netherlands and Belgium share a 450 km border, which is notable for its complexity, particularly in the town of Baarle. This border is part of the Schengen Area, meaning there are no regular passport checks. The border's intricacies stem from historical treaties and land swaps, resulting…
Solid as a rock. You get what it says on the tin. With a name like Concrete, you can be sure that its solid as a rock. No fancy pantsy mumbo jumbo. Real.
By now, we're pretty sure that you're confused with this post. What on earth does concrete have…
When we hear the word UNESCO, it always gives us the feeling that the world, despite its fires, and bombs and hatred, we humans will do the right thing - which means turn things around as they are now - and come to our senses. It is a long uphill struggle, but one day,…
What makes Monaco such an exhilarating experience? Is it the wealth, or the history or even the views. It's all of that and more. But when you want to scale the height of heights and you can't quite find your way into the exalted gambling dens, lush restaurants and the sheer aroma of…
It's not enough that cats already think they own the world, and that includes you, human minion. How dare you think otherwise? So, probably the last thing that the cat world needs is a Cat Museum, but who can resist? So, of course, someone has come along and created just that. …
As of 2008, there are 6.831 billion of us on the planet. And that number is growing. We want all people to have a place to live and to have a good life. But how can we accommodate all of this growth? Build up is one option, but the height of…
Strange how music can - in 180 degrees - completely reorient what you're doing at the time. The good thing, we guess, is that the music is - if you're lucky - something that transports you to another place entirely than the place where you are. Of course, other music does quite the…
The pull of the Danube River is indeed a powerful mix of romance and history, stemming from its unique role as a cultural artery that has shaped the heart of Central and Eastern Europe for millennia. Its appeal is rooted in a combination of its grand scale, its physical beauty, and its function as a…
