Moeraki - strange boulders, but pretty beach!
Ah, boulders, no one seems to appreciate them. But those who live in New Zealand do! The lovely beaches of Moeraki are awesome, and the boulders there have their own legend: That the gods formed the boulders from the mountains that the beaches surround. Not a lot of people know about this place, so the beaches are practically deserted most of the time, which is good for the traveler who just wants to relax. There's a small village close to the beach, where one can get some food and stay for the night. So go see these weird boulders today!

Jordan, the place of Wonders
When many people think about Jordan, they think about Indiana Jones, and how found the Holy Grail in that big building in the rock face in the last Crusade. But the place is actually real, and there are a lot of other buildings just like it all over the place in Jordan. One can really feel like Indiana Jones when looking through all the buildings. But that's not the only thing in Jordan; they have Roman ruins to look at, swimming in the Dead Sea, nature reserves and many cool night clubs to go to. Many adventures can be had with this awesome landscaoe and wonderful people!
Buñol, the place wher throwing tomatoes is a holiday!
Since 1945, this very small town in Spain has been celebrating this wonderful-and odd-tradition of gathering in the streets to throw tomatoes at friends and loved ones. The streets run red with tomato juice every last Wednesday in August, and it is only done for the sake of enjoying the cold, squishy red fruit being hurled at their face. And you do not even have to bring your own tomatoes, because they are provided for you! It is definitely a once in a lifetime event, and it only happens in Spain, so come get your fruit on today! The fun's waiting.

Ice hotels, the winter wonderland for real people!
If you're planning on going to Sweden, Canada, Norway, Finland, or Romania in the winter, your best bet for a place to stay would be at an ICE HOTEL!!! These wonderfully cold buildings are made entirely out of ice and compacted snow, and have to be rebuilt every year in sub-freezing temperatures. Some boast large ice-mansions that accomodate your every modern need, while others are quaint little igloos made to be cozy and small. The food is meant to help the "theme" of the ice hotels, and ice-cold beverages are always on hand in the ice bars! So go and get a reservation to an ice hotel today!
