The Tenderloin Museum opened on…
In certain markets, airlines compete directly with train operating companies.
This is a common phenomenon in Europe, where countries like France and Germany have extensive high-speed rail networks.
However, in some instances, airlines choose not to compete for various reasons. easyJet (an affiliate friend of ours) is one such carrier, and Simple Flying recently learned why.

All jokes aside, we're assuming that this fabulous new hotel in Copenhagen, from our affiliate friends Marriott Bonvoy says socialist, it can only mean sociable.
You could be a bit confused when you first see the stark design of the exterior, but the interior is another thing entirely.
In any case, we're…
In most of the world, inhaling radon for pain relief sounds like a bizarre idea.
In some places, though, it's so accepted that it's prescribed by doctors and covered by health insurance. And I have no idea how to talk about it. Thanks to the team at the Radonstollen in Bad Kreuznach:

The future is sphere. Have a look at these specifications for Las Vegas's new OTT spectacle. The MSG Sphere at The Venetian is a sphere-shaped music and entertainment arena being built in Paradise, Nevada, near the Las Vegas Strip and east of the Venetian resort. The 17,500-seat auditorium was initially scheduled to open in 2021…
Advertisers have begun invading our sleep in an attempt to place their products in our dreams. This is neither metaphor nor fiction; it’s a fact. The night before Super Bowl LV, the beverage company Molson Coors ran what they called the ‘world’s largest dream study’. They explicitly aimed to place images of Coors beer, along…
We don't know about you, but we started crying like babies when we saw James Bond's Aston Martin DB5 being trashed in No Time to Die. They don't make them like that anymore.. That's like adding glitter to the Mona Lisa.

If you want to learn more, Peter Guralnick's two-volume work is currently considered the definitive Presley biography. His Last Train to Memphis: The Rise…
Manga? Man, go!
Japan is a wonderous place of so many contrasts. Surgically-focused mega-corporations. Almost unreal scenery. Respectful and warm humans.
And a Hello Kitty bullet train. Never again will your commute be mundane. You can even be the engineer - sort of.
Enjoy the video below and experience it yourself. Bullet trains in Japan are just…
If ever there was a venerable institution (especially in the USA) it would be The National Geographic (affiliate friends of ours.) Decades old, the organisation has always been known for its global approach: it makes no distinctions nor proffers favouritism in its activities. In the past, it has opened doors to worlds that many people…
Some music lasts forever, even if their creators don't. Country singer Patsy Cline is one of those artists. Even if you're not from the USA and a country music fan, her outputs will still likely linger in your head. Like far too many musicians, Patsy Cline's life was cut short by a plane crash in…
As always, hope springs eternal. Mankind will always correct its errant ways and will always achieve its highest aspiratiions. And, humans keep trying to make that so. In 1900, Ida Hofmann, a German pianist, and her companion Henry Oedenkoven, the 25-year-old son of a businessman from Antwerp, purchased a hill in Ascona which had been known…
I turn 60 today, and I feel vaguely embarrassed about it, like I’ve somehow let myself go, like I’ve been bingeing on decades and wound up in this unappealing condition. Chances are, most of you haven’t crossed this border station yet, so you’d better listen up. Because if you play your cards right, it’s going to…
As much fun as it would be to wax on about this classy ride from the 1970's (assuming that there are even any left that have not rusted their way back to Mother Earth.) No, this article is about a savoury Grenada of a different kind - Grenada, where more than 20% of the world’s…
