Posted by zion on Jan.02, 2009, under Around The World No Comments
We all have recently seen the amazing architecture of Dubai and their buildings. It looks like Dubai is set to take the title of World’s largest bridge with this latest concept bridge. This bridge will be a mile long and 670-feet high at its highest point. It will have a whooping 12 lanes of traffic with a metro line running down the center. It is expected to be able to carry over 4000 hours vehicles per hour and will cost a measely 817 million dollars (chump change to them at least).

African Beauty - Lip Plates
Posted by zion on Jan.02, 2009, under Around The World (1) Comment
Lip plates can be found used by tribes in Africa, South America and the Amazon. For some, the plate size is a measure of social or economic influence or status. But for others, the size is just a matter of how long the lip has been stretched. There are varied reasons for putting the plates, but suffice to say, these tribes see these ‘ornaments’ as beauty and status. Although I can never in my life understand why people will want to do this to themselves and consider it as a thing of beauty. An interesting documentary video is attached too.

Nicola Mclean is a British model born on 16 September 1981. Believe it or not, before she became hot, she was actually an army cadet! Can you see her in army uniform, but not in the way you imagine it I’m sure!
And it is not hard to guess, she has had breast enhancement surgery from 32C to 32G. She is currently engaged to the lucky fella, Tom Williams, Peterborough United football player. Interesting fact about her: She has failed her driving test a whooping 7 times.

Charlize Theron - Sexiest Women Alive?
Posted by zion on Jan.02, 2009, under Celebrities No Comments
I believe that this hot and talented actress needs no introduction. The films that shot her to fame in the 1990s include ‘The Devil’s Advocate’ and ‘Mighty Joe Young’. She was highly acclaimed for her role in ‘Monster’ as a serial killer, which is a role that I can never imagine her playing. Charlize Theron was also named as the sexiest women alive in 2007 by Esquire Magazine.
Charlize can definitely look extremely fabulous in certain roles but I’m not too convinced that she is the ’sexiest women alive’. Do you?
Charlize is also very involved in activist movements particularly women’s rights and animal cruelty. She marched for abortion rights and also appeared in a PETA anti-fur campaign ad.

Monasteries in the Air
Posted by zion on Dec.30, 2008, under Around The World No Comments
These monasteries are located in Meteora, Greece and the word ‘Meteora’ literally means ’suspended in air’ as they are built high on top of cliffs and mountains. There are a total of 24 monasteries found here and if you wanted to visit them, then you better not be afraid of heights. There are NO steps leading to these monasteries, not to mention lifts or elevators. The main means of access? Through a net that was hung over a hook and hoisted up by rope and a manual windlass to towers overhanging the scary chasm beneath. Monks descended in the nets or on wooden ladders to the valleys below to grow potatoes, corn and grapes. Wonder if they have WIFI there…
