Grand Canal Venice Italy


Grand Canal Venice is the main water thoroughfare in this romantic city in northern Italy. As its name indicates, it is the largest and most important of all the canals in a city filled with many canals and waterways. If you are planning a trip to Venice, you will certainly become familiar with the Grand Canal and the entire system of canals and toe bridges, as there are no cars allowed in Venice proper. It is approximately 2.5 miles long and averages a depth of about 16 feet. Its width ranges from around 90 to 300 feet and it forms an S shape that winds through the sestieri (or the main districts of Venice).

Eiffel Tower Paris France

The Eiffel Tower, La Tour Eiffel in French, was the main exhibit of the Paris Exposition — or World's Fair — of 1889. It was constructed to commemorate the centennial of the French Revolution and to demonstrate France's industrial prowess to the world.  "Although at the beginning it was seen as 'the ugliest building in Paris,' soon it became the symbol of the city," said Tea Gudek Snajdar, an Amsterdam-based art historian, museum docent and a blogger at Culture Tourist.

Thailand White Temple

Believe it or not, this is a real place – Wat Rong Khun, better known as the White Temple, is a Buddhist temple in Thailand that looks like it was placed on earth by a God. Though it may have involved divine inspiration, it was in fact designed by a man. Chalermchai Kositpipat, a Thai artist, designed the temple in 1997. It was almost destroyed by an earthquake in May of this year, but Kositpipat was inspired to rebuild the temple after an outpouring of international support urging him not to give up and let the temple crumble.  Admission to many of the buildings has been forbidden until certain structural cracks are repaired, but visitors can still photograph the temples from the outside.
