Designed to be a living art exhibition that changes with each season, there are over 5000 goldfish, across a hundred different varieties, swimming gracefully in exhibits throughout the museum.

You know our mantra here on our site. We love travel and we love history, and we love it when we can combine the two. And we love it even more when we find hidden treasures around the globe. Even more, it's always a thrill to be able to highlight history in…
We're all about doing the right thing for the planet, and then for the rest of us. Taking trains is one way to help the environment, rather than driving. Using mass transit (and here we truly use the word mass in the best sense) is another smart approach. In many parts of…
One thing about the world is that you'll never run out of things to do. Lucky us. And here we feature another such place that we're willing to bet that most of us haven't heard of, let alone seen. It's Ajara. A region located in southwestern Georgia, it offers a unique…
Malta is the answer. And it's a place that many often forget about, which is a huge shame. If you're not in the know, Malta itself is a beautiful Mediterranean island nation with a rich history, stunning landscapes, and a unique culture that makes it a compelling destination for travelers. And it's easy…

As one benefit of the latter career, I was fortunate enough to tour Europe, making music over a number of separate tours. Even though I had been to the UK many, many times, the music…
. . . it's really really where I'm going to. If you're a gamer, then do we have the holiday for you, and this is a win-win situation, for sure. Firstly, it's based in and centered around Brussels, Belgium, where the history looms large, the beer cannot be beaten, nor can the food.…
Here's another instalment of our ongoing Hey Presto parade of Webcams, worldwide. You may not be able to be there, but you can be there, if you know what we mean. Webcams provide a real-time connection to places, events, or situations that you might not be able to experience otherwise. This can create…
Here's another delightful bubbling under find (for most of us.) We scour the globe every day to find little known destinations for you. It was only recently when we discovered the Perhentian Islands. A visit to the Perhentian Islands is taking a step into a rare, exotic paradise, and the perfect place to…
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…
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…
