12 RIDICULOUS Things You Didn't Know About North Korea!
George W. Bush called it the “axis of evil” and Condoleeza Rice referred to it as an “outpost of tyranny.” Cut off from the internet and with many horrible human rights violations we bring you 12 crazy things you never knew about North Korea.
1. Weed Is Legal There
There's no law against the sale or consumption of "leaf tobacco" in North Korea. Cannabis grows freely by the roadside throughout the country and is particularly popular with young soldiers who prefer it over local cigarettes.
2. Hairstyles Are Restricted
Women are supposed to emulate the basic bob worn by the Supreme Leader’s wife. Men are forbidden to exceed 2cm in length, and are encouraged to copy Kim Jong-un’s ‘do. Offenders may be shewn on the spot by scissor-wielding authorities.
3. They Have Their Own Calendar
It’s not 2016 in North Korea. It’s 105. Their Juche calendar started the count anew based on Kim Il-sung’s birth date in 1912.
4. The “Three Generations of Punishment” Rule
Someone who violates the law isn’t just punished – their entire family is, too. Knowing you’ll be sending grandma to the slammer and your kid to a prison work camp might make you think twice about doing a bad deed.
5. Porn Is Prohibited
There are reports saying some offenders have been executed for this offense. Most North Koreans have no access to the Internet but often share films and music on USB sticks.
6. There's a North Korean Version of Godzilla
Kim Jong-Il was a big movie buff so he kidnapped South Korean director Shin Sang-ok and forced him to churn out a few films, including a propaganda-filled North Korean version of Godzilla.
7. Kim Jong-un is much like Lord Bolton
When Kim Jong-un suspected his uncle Jang-Song Thaek of attempting to overthrow the state in 2012, he supposedly had him stripped naked and fed to 120 hungry hounds that hadn’t been fed for several days.
8. North Korea Holds Farcical Elections Every 5 Years
There’s only ever one name on the ballot but citizens are permitted to veto said candidate by publicly crossing the name out - of course at the risk of three generations of punishment.
9. North Korea Has a 100% Literacy Rate
That's better than America’s functional literacy rate is 85%. They take education seriously there, which includes a three-year course on the history of Kim Jong-un, in addition to a 160-hour course on Kim Il Sung and 148 hours on Kim Jong Il. The indoctrination starts in kindergarten - or should we call that Kim-dergarten.
10. North Koreans Are 2 Inches Shorter Than South Koreans
This is attributed to the relative poverty of the northern nation. It is said that 6 million citizens don’t get sufficient food and a third of the children have chronic malnutrition.

5-things-not-to-do-in-belgium
Get more Tips here! http://www.destinationtips.com
This Western European country may be relatively laid back in terms of its political scene and its criminal regulations, but there are still plenty of ways to complicate your trip so here are 5 Things NOT To Do in Belgium.
1. Don't Get Caught Up in a Crowd
Public demonstrations are commonplace, reportedly happening almost every day. Police usually oversee them, however some of these demonstrations occur without police permission and get out of control so it’s best to just steer clear.
2. Don’t Trust the Crosswalks
Unless the crosswalk is governed by a traffic light, you should be extremely careful. Belgian drivers have an international fame for somewhat reckless behavior. So look both ways before you cross.
3. Don’t Get Scammed
A popular target for these criminals isn’t the traveler, but their family who will receive notice that their loved-one is in trouble and needs money to bail them out. Before leaving, make sure that your friends and family are aware of this scam.
4. Don’t Try to Speak the Language
A lot of countries will appreciate a fumbling stab at their local tongue, but not here! You can get into trouble trying to speak Dutch in a French region or French in a Dutch region, so it’s a good idea just to stick with English.
5. Don’t Flirt with Women at Random
Unless you’re in a club, most Belgian women won’t respond well to being hit on. Most romantic relationships are formed after men and women get to know each other. Having some randy tourist try out a pick up line isn’t going to get a Belgian woman’s attention, so save your breath.
Where do you want to know what not to do in next?

Get more Tips here! www.destinationtips.com
In China, they’re putting a fresh twist on the way travelers can experience the country’s incredible natural beauty. One of the most popular spots in the nation, China’s Tianmen Mountain has installed a glass sidewalk affixed to the sheer face of the mountainside.
The “Coiling Dragon Cliff” skywalk hangs 4,600 feet off the ground. Stretching 100 meters long, with a width of a mere 5 feet, the skywalk is the third of its kind in the Tianmen Mountain region. This newest addition to the mountain overlooks China’s famed Tongtian Avenue. The snaking mountain road, whose name translates to “Avenue to the Sky,” ascends Tianmen Mountain with an astounding 99 turns as it travels through Hunan’s Zhangjiajie National Forest Park.
So far the reactions to the new sidewalk have been overwhelmingly positive. Well, obviously some people prefer to keep as far away from the edge as possible, but that does little to interrupt the jaw-dropping views. If you think you can keep your lunch down, then the “Coiling Dragon Cliff” skywalk isn’t to be missed.

THE W
the-worst-things-that-can-happen-to-you
Every Airplane accident appears in the news whilst not every car accident does, for this reason some people have a fear of flying even though statistically Air Travel is the safest form of transport. This being said, Air Travel isn't all silver linings. Here are 10 of The WORST Things That Can Happen to YOU on an Airplane!
1. Crying Babies
I know its not the baby's fault and that most parents try their hardest to comfort their baby and not irritate other passengers, my problem is with the parents who do nothing, who ignore their baby as if a plane flight is the perfect time to experiment with the "Ferber" method.
2. Odor
Some people lack basic common decency, they're quite happy to get in an enclosed area with 100 people without even checking their body odor. The three most common you'll experience are old cheese, herby onions, and warm spit on a radiator!
3. Seating
Just because you order 4 tickets at the same time doesn't mean you'll be sat together, or even in the same row. low-cost air companies will take weight distribution into account to lower fuel consumption.
4. Air conditioning
Even though aircraft nowadays are extremely high-tech it seems that the climate control systems are not. Most only have two settings to choose from; arctic winter, and off!
5. Not enough food!
Being hungry on a flight isn't enjoyable, so you pick an overpriced sandwich that looks edible and order it only to be told they have run out! so you choose the only available option, which inevitably tastes like you've had a face-full of garden.
6. Oversized
The person in front of you as you board the plane, will be short and have very big and heavy hand luggage which they will be unable to put in the overhead lockers. while it is frustrating to have to wait whist they finally manage to stow it, its funny to watch when it happens to someone else.
7. Using the Bathroom
Having to get up and ask people in your row to let you out, then do the walk of shame down the aisle to the bathroom, only to find a queue, you wait, finally you enter and then find an alien toilet you have no idea how to use!
7.1. Having the Runs
- see step 7 and repeat!
7.2 The Guy Next To You Has The Runs
Similar to step 7.1 although narrowly less annoying.
8. Chatty Neighbour
You've had a long day, you got to the airport on time, checked in, caught the flight and now just want to sit back and disconnect. The guy next to you has other plans, he's decided that you really need to know what he's been doing with his life.
9. Aisle Blocking
Every flight, as soon as the plane lands, people stand up, straight away! the door isn't even open, we're still taxiing to the gate. It's like they're in this mad rush to wait for their baggage.
10. Seat Etiquette
There are some unwritten rules about seat usage th

If you’ve never considered a trip to Panama, the bridge to South America, then here are some destinations that just might change your mind.
1. In Panama City, Take the Metro
Even if you have the funds to travel by cab, you’re missing out if you don’t take advantage of the city’s metro. It’s cheap, clean, and it goes to pretty much every tourist attraction in the city.
2. San Jose Church
After the colonization, they built churches to convert the natives to Christianity. To adorn these little cathedrals, the Spanish used the natural resources plucked from their surroundings. Resulting in opulent buildings. It’s home to Panama’s famous golden altar, a centerpiece made from pure gold.
3. Butterfly Haven
It is filled to the brim with several gorgeous varieties of butterfly. Wander on your own or take one of the free guided tours and learn a lot about these beautiful, fluttering creatures.
4. Isla Zapatillas
It's a breath-taking plot of land that’s open to people who want to spend a day or two frolicking in the water. Whether you’re snorkeling, paddle-boating, or just relaxing by the water, you’ll love Isla Zapatillas.
5. The Lost Waterfalls
This hike delivers travelers to three beautiful waterfalls in western Panama. Along the way, you’ll get to see some of the country’s most interesting flora and fauna, including sloths and monkeys. It’s a gorgeous stretch of land, but fair warning: only experienced hikers need apply.
6. Boquete Outdoor Adventures
Customers of all ages have raved about Boquete Outdoor Adventures’ tours. White water rafting, cliff diving, and so much more are on offer when you book a tour.
7. Casco Viejo
This old quarter in Panama City is filled with rich historical sites. Simply walking through the storied Panamanian district is a treat for everyone. The beautiful architecture is a thrill to experience, and the various little boutiques and churches within Casco Viejo are sure to keep you occupied for hours.
8.The Panama Canal
The 48-mile long waterway allows freighters to carry cargo between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans in a fraction of the time. Be sure to grab a meal at one of the Canal’s restaurants so you can spend time watching massive ships supply goods to the other side of the world.
9. Mercado de Mariscos
Panama’s famous fish market. If you can stand the smell, the food offerings at the Mercado de Mariscos are amazing. Be sure to pick up a local Panamanian delicacy, ceviche — it might be the best in the world.
10. El Valle de Antón
One of the best parts of a Panamanian getaway is the incredible variety of the geography. Once you’ve basked in the sun-soaked beaches, head to the mountainous region of El Valle de Anton t

best-destinations-for-kitesurfing
Are you the kind of traveler who yawns at the thought of snowboarding down a black diamond? Do you get bored thinking about parasailing yet again? then it’s time to think about a kiteboarding vacation. Here are some sunny destinations to keep in mind.
1. Nabq Bay, Egypt
Get ready to pick up some speed, kitesurfing at Nabq Bay. The wind is steady and strong, so you shouldn’t have any trouble pulling off some slick moves as you glide across the water. When you need a break, Nabq Bay offers world class snorkeling and plenty of historical sightseeing.
2. Dreamspot Eco Kite Lodge, Sri Lanka
You’ll need to make reservations to check out this beautiful kiteboarding resort, but if you want a chance to get a crash course in kitesurfing, then this remote location in the Sri Lankan wilderness might just be your best bet.
3. Tarifa, Spain
This Spanish kitesurfing capital boasts around 300 days of sunshine every year, which makes it one of Europe’s most popular kiteboarding destinations. Sure, it might be a bit crowded during the summer, but Tarifa is also about as perfect a spot as you could hope for.
4. Maui, Hawaii
The Hawaiian destination is known as perhaps the best kitesurfing spot in the entire world. There’s even a specific beach named Kite Beach, that is perfect for kiteboarding. Even if you’re a kitesurfing rookie, there are plenty of chances to learn in Maui.
5. Ulcinj, Montenegro (ul-cinch)
This nine-mile stretch of pristine beach in the beautiful Mediterranean country of Montenegro is a great location for veteran and amateur kitesurfers alike. Not only is Montenegro an affordable Mediterranean option, but the Ulcinj locals have a worldwide reputation for being extremely welcoming to tourists.
6. Taveuni Island, Fiji
Everyone from beginners to seasoned pros will find some kitesurfing opportunities at Fiji’s Taveuni Island. The wide open expanse of the islands lets rookies get their feet wet while still offering plenty of room for seasoned veterans to tackle more challenging terrain should they so desire.
7. La Ventana, Baja California
If you’re hoping to try out kitesurfing and you’re not sure you’d like an entire vacation focused on the sport, then head to La Ventana, Baja California’s scenic, little beach town that’s always offering a full array of beach-friendly activities. The kitesurfing is great, but so is the snorkeling, diving, fishing, and lounging.
8. Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands
Feel free to bring the whole family to Grand Cayman in the beautiful Cayman Islands. It is filled with activities designed to soothe every visitor. Meanwhile, you can enjoy the steady winds and gorgeous waters on the back of your kiteboard.

13-weirdest-houses-in-the-world
Get more Tips here! www.destinationtips.com
On today's video, we take you around the WEIRDEST houses in the World!
Seriously, there are some bizarre ones!
For example;
Golf ball house, Arizona
Built in 1976 as "The Dinesphere - Space Station Restaurant," it was empty until 1981. At that point a local from Wyoming snapped it up, gave it a makeover and turned it into a three-story house. As you do.
UFO House, Texas
Take a walk on the wild side in Texas and you might stumble upon this – an abandoned UFO-shaped house designed in the 60s by Finnish architect Matti Suuronen. The idea is it can adapt to any terrain and so theoretically be moved to any place on Earth (ironically, since it’s rather other-worldly).
Upside down house, Trassenheide, Germany
The brainchild of Polish architects Klaudiusz Golos and Sebastion Mikuciuk, this upside-down abode was built in 2008 for an art exhibition.
The Boot, Tasman, New Zealand
But nothing beats staying in a boot. This bed and breakfast in Tasman, New Zealand, is now a hugely popular fairytale escape, receiving five bubbles on TripAdvisor and widespread coverage.
Amoeba House
Designed by Javier Senosiain, this ginormous gold-painted construction sits in a complex complete with a golf course and surrounded by acres of green land. It's located 120 kilometers from the buzzing Brazilian city of São Paulo.
Star Trek House
Star Trek fans, prepare yourselves. Decked out like a Voyager Spaceship, this one-of-a-kind pad features voice-activated lighting, "transporters" and a computerized flight deck among its futuristic innovations.
Casa del Ancantilado, Spain
This psychedelic house by Gilbartolome Architects is ever so subtly built into a cliff-side in Salobreña, Spain.
Casa do Penedo, Portugal
Aptly named the House of Stone, this bizarrely shaped building in the Fafe Mountains of Portugal looks like it’s come straight out of the Flintstones. Either that or Mars.
Ecocapsule
Tempted to go off-grid? You might want to pre-order one of these 50 Ecocapsules for $89,654. Bargain!
Luxury cave house, Spain
Over in Spain, this dwelling is built directly into the side of a hill in Galera. As you can see, it's set in a pretty peaceful location.
The Piano House, China
Music fans unite; there seems to be a curious trend of building houses to look like musical instruments. This contemporary one comes complete with a glass cello staircase alongside a huge grand piano. Practical, obviously.
Cliff House, Australia
You'd have to be pretty brave to live in a box dangling off the edge of a cliff, but each to their own. Designed by Modscape, the five-storey home is currently just a concept, but given the others on this list it might well soon be a reality. Any takers?
Quetzalcoatl Nest, Mexico
The structure is built to fit
