If you haven’t been to The Houston Museum of Natural Science lately, then it’s worth checking out again. While this museum has fascinating exhibits in its permanent collection, the facility’s continuous ability to attract the best of travelling national and international collections is unparalleled. There I’ve seen awesome and priceless jewels, rare personal effects of Benjamin Franklin, and even the body of the controversial pre-human Lucy. Check out its latest offerings at www.hmns.org.

Being a European you can go anywhere. Even in Fürth? No, here you might come across some borders. That’s when you’d like to visit the Jewish cemetery, where we stumbled upon locked gates and high walls. The traditions at old Jewish cemeteries are different from the ones we know. They don’t have family graves, but they bury the dead in timely order according to the date they died. There are no flower arrangements, only small stones family members put on the gravestones. The Jewish cemetery in Fürth seems wondrously enchanted and is really worth a visit. Jüdischer Friedhof Schlehenstraße Fürth For further information please contact the Israelite Community (“Israelitische Kultusgemeinde”). The key is available at Geschichte Für Alle e.V. - Institut...

When I worked in Toronto's Financial District, I used to frequent "TD square" (Bay and Wellington St). It's a place full of benches, trees, and people (between the hours of noon and 2pm). Even if you're simply walking through, you're sure to spot some "eye candy", both on the male and female level. It's not to say that I'm superficial (ahem), but when I'm working in a place that's crawling with investment bankers... well I like to look ;-) . If you really want to capitalize on this white-collar "meat market", bring along a wing-man (or woman). If you do, you might just find yourself in the midst of conversation, some laughs, and a couple of exchanged phone numbers. Now that's...

The Loft is a great place to take Yoga lessons & get an amazing dinner afterwards. Yoga lessons are from Mondays - Thursdays. Tuesdays and Thursdays are the power yoga days, on Mondays and Wednesdays they take a bit slower. Classes take 90 minutes and start at 6 pm. A lesson is only $15 including a lovely vegetarian meal incl. tea and dessert afterwards. I think this an unbeatable offer! http://www.theloft.org.nz/

The beautiful basilica was built in the 16th century. If you go inside you can have a look old paintings, capes, figures and gold smith works. The Saint of Lledó is Castellón's patron saint since 1922.

Located at the most bustling and flourishing corner in Sydney CBD, with its three eye-catching monkey statues, it's not hard to be symbol of local pubs, and the first choice for those night players. I always saw a long queue at the entrance when passing by, but just seized a single chance to get into it. Well...not as big and comfortable as I thought, not as fashionable as I thought...there are two or three levels in the pub - too dark to see (I was not drunk!)- strong smell over the stairs. Really too dark to enjoy the atmosphere, maybe dark is its style, I'm not sure. Maybe it depends on individuals, anyway, good to check it out yourself!
