Here’s some tips on how to avoid scams in Thailand.
| Because there are so many banks and ATMs, there is no need to carry a giant wad of cash on you anyway. |
| Don’t accept torn or faded notes - they will be very difficult to spend later. It is common for people to try to pawn these damaged bills off on foreigners. |
| Keep your spending money in a wallet or bag, but put your large denomination bills into your passport belt or hide them. This will also be helpful when you are trying to negotiate a price - you don’t want to dig through 1000 Baht notes in front of a shopkeeper to find the right cash! |

What can I say, this is a great idea for pubs who need to keep that smoke outside and just legal.
| At the Maltermeister Turm in Goslar, Germany, the enterprising owner found a novel way to beat the new smoking ban, and accommodate customers who complained about having to freeze their butts off in the biting cold every time they went out for a smoke. He cut out three holes in the wall, a bigger one for the head and two smaller ones at the sides for the arms. Now, smokers in need of a nicotine fix can happily pop their heads and arms though these “butt holes,” and puff away while their bottoms stay warm and toasty indoors. |

Here’s some remarkable photos of Paris Night Lights!
|
Paris is the most glamorous city in Europe. It is at once deeply traditional – a village-like metropolis whose inhabitants continue to be notorious for their hauteur – and famously cosmopolitan.There are over 150 art galleries and museums in the city – few of them duds – and an uncounted number of cafés, brasseries and restaurants lining every street and boulevard. The variety of style and decor is hard to beat, ranging from ultra-modern fashion temples to traditional, mirrored palaces, and from tiny bistrots where the emphasis is all on the cooking to bustling Vietnamese diners. After dark, the city’s theatres and concert halls host inventive and world-leading productions of theatre and dance, while many classical concerts take place in fine architectural settings, particularly chapels and churches. Above all, Paris is a real cinema capital, and the city’s vibrant cultural mix puts it at the forefront of the world music scene.

Here’s some good info on a good surfing spot in Kiribati, an island off the coast of Australia.
Kiribati - Welcome to the gateway of the one of the last frontiers in the tropical pacific.
The reefs are pristine, the lineups empty, the schools of fish bountiful.
We offer a truly unique escape for the ocean sports enthusiast.
Whether you are a surfer, diver, angler, or someone looking for adventure in pure isolation,
the Line Islands of Kiribati are waiting. |
Christmas Island, or Kiritimati, lies 1200 miles south of Honolulu, Hawaii. As the world’s largest atoll, Christmas Island has an abundance of
marine life in and around its lagoon and wind groomed reefs. More than 20 surf spots are accessible from land and boat, with numerous reefs yet
to be explored. Christmas Island catches the same swell direction as North Shore Oahu, only about half the size and several days later. |
