Streetsigns everywhere

Everywhere on this planet you will find streetsigns. Simple graphic images that will point out a danger that is ahead or acts that are forbidden.

La Casa de las Guayaberas

If you're looking to buy a Guayabera -- the pleated, button-down shirts that are synonymous with Cuba -- then this is the place to go. Located in Little Havana and operated for decades by Ramon Puig, the self-proclaimed "King of the Guayaberas," his store sells custom-tailored shirts that are so well-made they'll make you want to grab a mojito everytime you put one on.

Farafra

The Farafra Oasis (Arabic: الفرافرة) is the smallest oasis located in Western Egypt, near latitude 27.06° North and longitude 27.97° East. It is located in the Libyan Desert, approximately mid-way between Dakhla and Bahariya.

Bondi Icebergs

Australia's most famous ocean swimming club may is located at the south end of Bondi beach in Sydney, Australia. For just a few dollars, you can swim in the pool to your heart's content, use the sauna, or just lie down and soak up the sun.

Bhaktapur

Filled with palaces and ornately-carved pagodas, this ancient city is a popular day-trip from Kathmandu. You can explore the narrow cobblestone alleys, marvel at the stately architecture in Old Town or shop for weaving and pottery -- the city's specialties.

Borough Market
