Beautiful Frozen Haven - Antarctica
Posted by zion on Feb.13, 2009, under Around The World, Daily Pictures No Comments
Antarctica is probably one of the harshest environment to live in. It is the Earth’s most southern continent, overlying the South Pole. About 98% of Antarctica is covered by ice (taken from Wikipedia, but not sure if this is still true with global warming!). On average, Antarctica takes the records for the coldest, driest and windiest continent.
As these is very little rain, the interior of this continent is technically the largest desert in the world! Thus, there are really no permanent human residents there except crazy scientists and businessmen perhaps, who are usually there only for a period of time. Needless to say, very few creatures survive the conditions there, which are the penguins, seals, and various types of algae.
Despite all this, I’ve heard that it is an awesome sight to behold Antarctica with all its unspoiled terrain and beauty. I would love to take one of those Antarctica cruises someday…

World’s First Hotel in an Aircraft
Posted by zion on Feb.03, 2009, under Around The World, Daily Pictures No Comments
Just a few days ago, marked the opening of another wacky hotel, the world’s first aircraft hotel in Stockholm. An abandoned Boeing 747 jumbo jet has been saved from being trashed metal to become a 25-room hotel sited in Stockholm-Arlanda airport.
Each room is bare 65 square ft big and furnished with bunk beds, overhead luggage storage and flat-screen TVs (no other choice but flat-screens!). There is a reception area and a cafe with toilets and showers at the rear of the aircraft, which means that you will have to share! The upper deck is a conference room and the best of all, the cockpit, is where the wedding suite is housed.
Not a very comfy hotel I would think, but staying there just to get a feel of it might be cool.
