5 Souvenirs from Thailand You Actually Need to Take Home
Shopping for souvenirs in a new country can be tricky. If you walk into any night market in Bangkok, you will be flooded with rows of plastic keychains, cheap magnets, and generic t-shirts. Sure, they are easy to buy, but they usually end up sitting in a drawer collecting dust once you get home.

The Top 10 Tourist Traps In Denver
If you're traveling to Denver and search for Denver tourist traps, you'll likely come across a bunch of "must see" and "must avoid" articles. It's fun to plan a trip to a city you've never been to and it can be hard to decide on which things are worth setting aside the time to see. While the term "tourist trap" often signifies that a traveler should avoid it at all costs, that's not necessarily true for everyone. Just because something is a tourist trap doesn't mean it's not worth it at all.

Hanging Gardens of Babylon Review
**⭐⭐⭐☆☆ (3/5) — “Beautiful, but scientifically frustrating.”** Visited the Hanging Gardens of Babylon hoping to document and collect samples of rare and possibly extinct plant species. Left with admiration, confusion, and exactly three labeled specimens, two of which may just be weeds. One looks like cannabis and the other -- nettle, but I need to do some tests to be sure.

They Eat Cows Don’t They?
Yes, Indians eat cows. Sort of. Most Hindus don’t – the cow is a religious symbol and protected by law – but beef is definitely on the menu for India’s Muslim and Christian population. And that beef is carabeef or water buffalo. The rest of the world likes it too. India is the world’s largest producer of carabeef, exporting its product to Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, and the Middle East.

The Ridge
Edgefield, South Carolina is known for two things: gypsies and peaches. If you’ve never driven through Murphy Village, you should. It’s a cultural experience that’s hard to come by in the United States, especially in the Bible Belt. The Irish Travelers who populate Murphy Village have specific architectural taste; there’s grandeur to the dwellings.

London Voted World's #1 City for Culture by Time Out – Here’s Why It Deserves It
Cinderella is in a good mood today. London has been voted the world's top city for culture. We have 32 boroughs in a city which is home to 9.1 million as of 2024. I suspect the number is a bit higher than that.

The Lighthouse of Alexandria Review
⭐⭐⭐☆☆ (3/5) — “Excellent visibility, questionable wayfinding.” I arrived in Alexandria yesterday, guided by the famed Lighthouse of Alexandria, which, I must admit and give credit where it's due, is impossible to miss. The beam is visible from miles out, the structure itself an undeniable marvel. If your sole goal is not to crash your ship, five stars.

⭐☆☆☆☆ (1/5) — “Didn't See No Hanging Gardens, Just Rude Babylonians”
We arrived at the Vaulted Building of the Royal Palace of King Nebuchadnezzar only to be informed there were no Hanging Gardens. The Babylonians then laughed at us for a solid five minutes before offering a palace tour for 50 shekels of silver.
