Where are you gonna be on the 24th September 2007? I don’t know for you, but I will be in front of the TV and watching my favorite TV show, Heroes season two. For your information, it’s a popular American science fiction drama television series. I watched it last year and became addicted to the show. Season one of the movie has attracted more than 14 millions of viewers in the United States. You are probably one of them or soon to become one.The show is about the story of several ordinary people that discovered their incredible super power abilities and their reactions to their self-discovery. If you’ve missed season one, you will still have the chance to watch it on DVD. ” Save the cheerleader, save the world!”
Camping is the best outdoor recreation activity to get in touch with nature. Everyone sometimes need to get away from the civilization and simply enjoy the nature. But the forest is not the best suitable place for us to live. Dealing with the wildlife, climate, animals might be difficult for us to survive. Why not live like the Ewoks? The Ewoks are the fictional species that looks like a teddy-bear in the Star Wars movie. Their villages are built generally between trees and they use the forest floor to hunt. It might be difficult for you to build your own tree house. What about to own your Free Spirit Sphere? It’s a spherical house that you can suspend on the trees. You can visit the Free Spirit Spheres website to get more information about it.
If you get a chance to walk on the Overblaak Street in Rotterdam, Netherlands. You could see these 32 cube houses all attached to each other. This set of innovative houses was designed by an architect by the name of Piet Blom in 1984. Each cube house has three floors. The reception, the kitchen and the living room are on the first floor. The bedroom and bathroom are on the second floor. The third floor is used sometimes as a small garden. I’m still amazed how people can live in these tiny houses.
The US Virgin Islands is a group of islands in the Caribbean Sea that are an insular area of the United States. The islands were named by Christopher Columbus on his second voyage in 1493. The islands normally host 2 million visitors per year. If you are looking for the finest accommodations in the Caribbean. The St Thomas island, one of the main islands, is the place for those seeking a vacation of elegance, serenity and privacy.
The Villa Nicoletta is the perfect luxury waterfront villa for whom “getting away from it all” is the point of their vacation. The villa has 4 bedrooms and can be rented to a maximum of 10 people. Each room has a king size bed with nightstands, a HDTV flat screen TV with DVR, a large shower and tub, and a spectacular Ocean View Window. The outdoor deck is fully equipped with a private swimming pool, beach chairs, coolers, and a Tiki bar furnished in Tiki-style bamboo. Many activities can be enjoyed at the St Thomas Villas such as the 18 Holes Mahogany run golf course, an active beach with lots of water sports or simply spend the whole day diving and exploring the underwater of the Caribbean Sea.
Today, I’m taking you to the second largest, longest, widest and tallest passenger ship ever built, the Queen Mary 2. The ship has a casino, a ballroom, a theater, five swimming pools, fifteen restaurants and bars, and a planetarium. What is the planetarium doing in this boat? The Queen Mary 2 can serve 2,620 passengers and 1,253 officers and crew. It costs US $900 million and 3,000 craftsmen necessary to build it, and approximately 8 million working hours. In total, 300,000 pieces of steel were used. The QM2 took it’s first sea voyage on 21 March 2003.
Can you imagine that the ship contains 3,000 telephones? The passengers consume annually more than 1.5 million of drinks. They also order 230,000 bottles of wine, 55,000 pounds of coffee, 7,000 boxes of strawberries, 38,000 pounds of smoked salmon, 198,000 pounds of pineapples and enough beef to supply a small city for a whole year.
I couldn’t find the price for a holiday cruise with them. I hope it’s free, I want to go!
