Stave churches are medieval wooden buildings that could be seen as beautiful heritage from ancient centuries and reflect a valuable and rare style of architecture.
If you favour this special design you have to travel to Norway because almost all of the surviving stave churches exist there.

I spent a few months working in Beijing this summer. Although I was busy, I got a chance to visit the Great Wall. We went to the Mutianyu section because there are very little tourists and it scales a mountain. You have to take two long cable car rides up to the top. Well we didn't know that there …

Plac Nowy is the center of Kazimiers. You'll find the bars Endzior and Alchemia here, too. If you'd imagine the Rynek Glowny, this square is just about the opposite. It is small, a bit run down, rather quiet, and cheap. There are many bars and stalls in the neighborhood but prices aren't to be compa…

In The Netherlands, Selexyz is a chain of 40 bookstores. Normally, the word ‘chain’ means average service, mainstream stock only and uninteresting ‘ten a penny’ stores. None of this is true for Selexyz. Although…, the thought of bookstore chains also brings scenes from the movie ‘You’v…
