Restaurant where the food is free

First, you must use a cable car to reach the path.

Then, just follow the path.

Hold on firmly to the fence.

Watch the people in front of you.

Be very careful when you cross paths with others who are going in the opposite direction.

A few more meters upwards...

Now you reached a little climb. You use the holes in the rock as stairs.

Only a few more steps…

And finally we are there!

This restaurant and the paths are located on the mountain Huashan in central China. The track is rightfully called as one of the most dangerous mountain trails in the world. If you manage to climb to the top, you will be served a free meal at this restaurant.

Crystal cave in Mexico

Crystal cave (Cueva de los Cristales) - is an underground crack in a mine "Naica" in southern Mexican state of Chihuahua. It contains the world's largest selenite crystals which are 50 feet long and have a 5 feet diameter. The temperature in the cave is high (almost 140 degrees Fahrenheit) and there is almost 100% humidity, so it is quite inaccessible to visitors. Lead, zinc and silver are all extracted from the mine Naica and the cave is 985 feet deep. It was found by two miners, brothers Sanchez, in 2000. They were digging a new route for a tunnel that leads to "Industrial Penoles". Thrilled with the discovery, the brothers informed the chief engineer Robert Gonzales who realized the value of the discovery and immediately changed the direction of the tunnel. Several crystals collapsed because the brothers tried to take the parts of these mega crystals so the company quickly closed the entrance with metal gates in order to protect the site.

Later, one of the workers, with the intent to steal crystals, dug a narrow passage and brought along polyethylene bags with fresh air. But all that failed because he lost consciousness and was found after a short while completely burnt.

The most luxurious and most expensive vacations

Visit "Skyview Bar 27,321” in Burj el Dubai

Luxury holidays must include a night in the only seven-star hotel in the world for which you will have to pay at least 550 $. Indeed, if you want to stay here, you better be a millionaire or a celebrity. Not to mention the visit to the luxurious "Skyview Bar 27,321" that offers a panoramic view of the entire Dubai as well as the most expensive cocktail in the world. The name, 27,321, the bar got because of the prices expressed in local currency, however if you want to drink the most expensive cocktail, its price is much higher - 5,029 pounds.

Rent a private yacht to cruise around the Maldives

Analisa, and her "sister" Alice, are the most expensive yachts to rent in the world, and it costs 8,500 pounds a day. Up to 36 people can cruise on it feeling like royalty. Analisa has 34 crew members, who are there to fulfill your every wish. There is also the marble Turkish bath, sauna, Jacuzzi, beauty and spa salon, and even a massage center. However, if despite all this you feel bored, you can go to the quiet part of the ship like the library or a movie theater which are also on board!

Buying the most expensive airline tickets

Your luxury holidays should begin at the moment you board the plane, if you want to be treated like royalty. The most expensive ticket ever sold reached the price of $ 100,000. It was sold through service eBay to one Australian for the flight on A380 Airbus Singapore airlines. But of course, a little healthy competition does not bother anyone, so Boeing scheduled the new flight on the new 787 Dreamliner on July 1, and you will have the opportunity to break the previous record. For details you should visit eBay.

The most expensive lunch in the world

The most expensive meal in the world was sold in the Dome restaurant (known also as "Wide") in Bangkok in 2007. The guest-list was made up of only 15 people, and they were all Asian and American media moguls. At the end, the bill was astonishing $ 300,000! Six chefs from different parts of the world prepared the meals. If you want the same luxury, you can visit that restaurant. Of course, you don’t have to pay so much for the meal. The restaurant is world famous for its seafood dishes and of course, not every meal is so expensive.

Vacation in the resort "Early" in the Maldives

Maldives are the perfect destination for luxury holidays, and "Early" is definitely one of the most expensive and most luxurious resorts in the world. One night here will cost you 7,000 pounds, but it's worth the money. That four-digit number includes a yacht cruise, unlimited food and drink in a restaurant, and spa treatment. However, if you do not want to spend so much money for one day, do not worry. The Maldives have plenty of lush and exotic places and towns to see and we are sure you can find something that will suit your pocket.

Argleton – A Town in England, which exists only on Google Maps

Argleton, the "phantom" settlement, which appears only on Google Maps and Google Earth, does not exist in reality. When go off the A59 road and enter into a civil parish in West Lancashire called Ogton, you should come across this town, but instead, you can only see the meadows? Data from Google is used for other online services, and thus you get a real postal code L39 for Arglton. This area appears in a variety of real estate listings, employment centers and even in the weather forecasts. Those people, companies and the services are actually real (i.e. those companies exist in reality), but in a different location in the area. On 30th January 2010, this village was removed from Google Maps, but it can still be seen on Google's Street View application, as well as on Google maps. It is enough to enter a search term "Argleton".

This was first noticed by Mike Nolan, head of internet services at the nearby Edge Hill University, and he wrote this on his blog on September 2008. In early 2009, further investigation was conducted by Nolan’s colleague, Roy Bayfield, who walked the area to see if there is something special about it. Bayfield later wrote about it on his blog, and noted that there is nothing strange or unusual in the area and that there is no that place ... but ... on Google you can clearly see that city ... In November 2009, the story of "non-existent city" reached global popularity. In December 2009, Google searches for the term Argleton had approximately 249,000 results, and appeared in the internet domain argleton.com (with a message on the website: "What the hell are they talking about? We, the citizens Argleton exist! Here we are!) Also, argleton-village.co.uk (site-parody that describes the history of the city, famous residents, and current events in the fictional town) used this opportunity to make a profit. There were even T-shirts with the inscription: "I visited Argleton, and all I got was this T-shirt!

Look at the place where the city should be

One possible explanation for the presence Argleton is that it was intentionally added as a trap for the copyrights. It has been perceived that the word "Argle" sounds almost like "Google", while the name is also an anagram for "Not Large" and "Not real G", with the letter G, which clearly is associated with Google. To complicate it all, another theory was released later. It is that Argleton was wrongly spelled and that it should have been Aughton, despite the fact that both cities appear on the map next to each other. Professor Danny Dorling, President of the cartographer association, said that the city is actually nothing more than harmless error by the software authors.

The Google spokesman said: "While the vast majority of these data is correct, there can sometimes come to mistakes," and encouraged users to report any mistakes directly to them. Data for Google maps is obtained from the Dutch Tele Atlas. They were unable to explain how such error occurred, but that they will correct it instantly.
