When you visit another country, even mundane activities like shopping are transformed into interesting new experiences. As Gadling.com notes, shopping is also a great way to interact with local people and experience the culture of the place you are visiting.
If you are visiting Bangkok, one of the coolest shopping experiences is actually located outside the city itself, in the floating market of Damnoen Saduak. Â From around 8am to 11am each day, the canals of Damnoen Saduak are packed full of the boats of both shoppers and vendors. This is a great place to buy food of all types, as you can see from the video above.
Most of the produce comes from small farms located alongside the canals-about as fresh as you can get! Still, even if you don't buy anything, it's worth a trip just to take
Indian Visa Requirements To Visit Goa
May 13th, 2010
Goa is the smallest state India, but it's the most popular tourist destination, bringing in approximately 2 million visitors every year. One look at Goa's flawless white-sand beaches, and it's easy to understand why!
Crystal-clear sea and dazzling white sand are the main attractions here. However, Goa, which was originally a Portuguese colony, has a rich and interesting history that shines through in its architecture, food and culture.
Starting in the '60s and '70s, Goa became a destination of choice for hippies and other counterculture types. Open-air beach parties and raves that last all night are still quite common.
Necessities for visiting Goa include sunscreen, swimsuits and an Indian visa. Visas are required and you must apply for yours ahead of time. Indian visa application
Russian Visa Requirements To Explore the Mysteries of Tunguska
May 11th, 2010
On June 30th, 1908, something happened deep in the forests of Siberia, near the Tunguska River. A powerful explosion, one large enough to have completely wiped a city the size of London or New York off the map, shook the forest, leaving scarcely a tree standing. Â (h/t NileGuide)
Nobody is entirely sure what happened-despite evidence that the blast was as powerful as 185 Hiroshimas, it didn't leave a crater. Â According to the NASA website, the local people believed that the god Ogdy had cursed the area. Here's how one of them described the blast to researchers many years later:
Suddenly in the north sky… the sky was split in two, and high above the forest the whole northern part of the sky appeared covered with fire… At that moment there was a bang in the sky and a mighty crashâ
