Tokyo Cyberpunk City. Neon. Coffee. Noise. Lights. Food. Yeah!

We like to feature Belgrade when we can, as it’s a genuinely diverse and fun place to visit. You can cast away all of the cobwebs of the olde Belgrade, as those are yesterday’s news and certainly not the reality of this up-and-coming destination.
Another instalment of our continuing series of webcams all across the planet, where you can - in real-time - vicariously relax in a place where you might never have been before. Here, we feature South Africa's Cape Town, and the lovely Clifton 4th beach. Picture a crescent-shaped strip of soft, powdery white sand…
In this day and age, where everything is digital, and there are billionaires on every corner (ho hum) how do you stand out? Sure, you can stake your claim on some of the AHDH sites such as TikTok, but those are fleeting. And, how can you actually be sure that this moment's latest…
In this time of rampant, overbearing billionaires, me-me-me culture and ADHD social media, here's something to act as an antidote to all of that. And, of course, it comes from Japan, where they seem to find a balance, no matter what. In this case, it's a beautiful solution to an "ugly" problem…
Here is another example of your editor fooling around and ruining his SEO (search engine optimization) statistics, but I can't help myself. I run this site for pleasure, throwing in a little history, a smidgen of humour, and hopefully some enjoyment for you. I make a little money, but I do it for…
There are 8,045,311,447 people are in the world in 2023. Most are active, busy and content. Others sit in their chairs, waiting to make the next big thing. We applaud both types. One hand washes the other, as they say. In many ways, that makes your editor's job a lot…
We've been to Las Vegas many times and, despite our Puritan feelings of guilt, we never fail to have a good time there. Sure, it's insane (using that word in its correct context) and OTT (over the top,) and the powers that be there always have a knack to conjure up something new that…
We live in Vancouver, Canada. It's a rather nice place, where water is plentiful. The primary area for visitors is downtown, which happens to sit on a bay. It's a lovely place, such that the city has spent much effort and money to make it a place to see. And, as…
Almost no matter where you go in North America, you'll find a diner. You know the ones we're talking about: burgers, shakes, bacon, pancakes and sometimes in spectacular settings. They've been around since the 1930's, so why are there so many of them around today - and even in countries where you…
If you haven't already noticed, we're kinda geeks / dorks here when it comes to certain things. One of which is rail. Why pollute the environment at 65mph when you can hurtle down the tracks at twice that speed - comfortably in a reclining seat, we might add - and where you can…
If' you're a parent (or even if you're not,) you'll look back with happiness when you see this. Harken back to the days when your kids were small and easy(ish) to entertain. Almost anything that you did for them was a winner. It could even be riding around the yard in…
Maybe unknown to some. Maybe a bubbling-under hotspot. Maybe on everyone's lips except ours. But, in any case, let's talk about Siargao. It is a stunning tropical island located in the Philippines and has become increasingly popular among tourists in recent years. Here are several reasons why you should consider visiting Siargao…
One thing that Europe doesn't lack is history. It's been around forever, it feels like. Actually, though, the history of Europe is traditionally divided into four time periods: prehistoric Europe (prior to about 800 BC), classical antiquity (800 BC to AD 500.) What is even more amazing than that, is that so…
Time is tight, as well as short. Money can be, too.
Luckily, there are big thinkers who think small in big ways, if you know what we mean. We're thankful for them.
One example is the capsule hotels that are dotted around - mostly in Japan, but in other countries as well. They're exactly what they say…
War is not funny, nor is it something to be admired. But, learning about the horrors of war is something worth doing. History is destined to repeat itself if we don't. We feature history here on our site for those very reasons. Drive a tank? Yes, you can. And,…
No matter where you live (almost) you're certainly going to be some distance from Australia. For example, from Sydney to Canada is 18 hours, 31 minutes. From Incheon in Korea, the flight time is 11 hours and 05 minutes. And from New York City, it's 20 hours and 41 minutes. It's…
.....just a good pair of shoes. – James Carville. And an open mind. Long considered a place of debauchery and overt sin (what with its booze, crazy street antics and reputation for "saucy" entertainment) the City of New Orleans is all of that, and so much more. New Orleans, located in the…
