Skuon (Spiderville) Spider Market, Cambodia

When you’re traveling between Siem Reap and Phnom Penh, a must-visit — or a must-avoid, depending on the level of your arachnophobia — is the insect market in Skuon some 55 km north of the capital, which TripAdvisor very inaccurately namesSkun Spider Sanctuary Yep, if you missed Bugs Cafe or found that a little highbrow for your tastes, here’s the real thing: Fried spiders!And silkworms! And crickets! And scorpions! And water beetles! And we don’t know all what with way more legs than we generally consider food! The fun part though, was that all the fried tarantula vendors are sitting on pails of live tarantulas, and their idea of opening sales negotiations...

The love story of Messi and Antonela: Turning childhood sweetheart into family

  When Lionel Messi was a child, he was just a boy who dreamed of becoming a football player. On that day, however, he sat at the table in his room, picked up a piece of paper and a pen and began to write: "Antonela." In the letter the little boy wrote to a little girl, there was such a sentence: “One day, we will get engaged.” This is a love story worth making a movie. Leonel Messi, a little boy who dreamed of becoming a football player, was born in 1987 in Rosario, Argentina. Antonela Rocuzzo, a beautiful and lovely girl, was born in 1986. The story takes place at the home of Messi's friend Lucas Scaglia. When the two met for the first time, Messi was playing Sony...

Why Don't Trains Stop At The Begun Kodor Railway Station In Bengal?

(The New Indian Express) In the 1960s, Lachan Kumari, a queen of the Santal tribe which inhabits West Bengal’s Purulia district, donated a large chunk of her land to the Indian Railways for the upliftment of her people, and enhancement of the region’s connectivity with other areas of the state. However, the project ran into unforeseen trouble in 1967 when the station master, upon having spied a woman in a white saree on the tracks for the first time, died the very next day. It was then that the station became known far and wide as one that is haunted, making it one of the most popular ‘ghost tourism’ destinations in Bengal. According to the villagers of...

Member of the Qatari royal family rejected an ultra-luxe $100 million NYC penthouse and bought a modest $47 million row house because the sheik felt the skyscraper’s two high-speed elevators were insufficient for his two wives, 15 children, and...

The heart wants what it wants! In the case of ultra-rich royals, what one wants is usually achievable, and in the case of Qatar PM Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber al-Thani, it was mainly elevators. What are elevators and apartments for the man who owns a $300 million megayacht featuring a pirate-themed underwater viewing room, a hairdressing saloon, and a massive spa? A decade ago, the sheik was shaking the real estate market of New York with his ongoing deals for a family home. Rumor mills went abuzz with news of the Qatari politician zeroing in on a luxe $100 million penthouse atop One57, a swanky construction in midtown. From there, the information altered to the royal eyeing an...
