London is the capital and largest city of both the United Kingdom and of England, and the largest city in western Europe. Situated on the River Thames in South-East England, Greater London has an official population of roughly 7.5 million people—although the figure of over 14 million for the city's total metropolitan area more accurately reflects London's size and importance. London is historically one of the great "world cities" and remains a global capital of politics, culture, fashion, trade and finance. More info | Close

Brussels (French: Bruxelles, Dutch: Brussel; ) is the capital city of Belgium. As headquarters of many European institutions Brussels might also be considered something of a capital for the European Union. The fact, moreover, that Brussels acts as political capital of NATO (the North Atlantic Treaty Organization) serves to give the city a Transatlantic twist. Lying at the crossroads of cultures (the Germanic in the north and the Romantic in the South) and playing an important role in Europe Brussels fits the definition of the archetypal "melting pot", but nonetheless retains its own unique character. Population of the Brussels metropolitan area is just over 2 million. More info | Close

Tōkyō (東京; ) is the capital of Japan. At over 12 million people in the official metropolitan area alone, Tokyo is the core of the most populated urban area in the world, Greater Tokyo (which has a population of 35 million people). This huge, wealthy and fascinating metropolis brings high-tech visions of the future side by side with glimpses of old Japan, and has something for everyone. More info | Close

Did you know that the broadest road is in Buenos Aires, Argentina? The road is called Avenida 9 De Julio and it comes from Argentina's independence day, which is the 9th of July.
You really have to be careful when crossing this road since it actually contains 4 roads that have at least 4 lanes each. It's fortunate that the crossing has traffic lights for pedestrians too, because not nearly all big roads have that, yikes!!

Have you guys been in a M&M store before? Well now you've got a chance to do so, because there's one in New York! It's really amusing for both grown ups and children. There's all kind of products from candy (of course), shirts, mugs to key chains. In its own way, it's a sight of a kind I think, so go and check it out if you're in NY (16 West 8th Street)!! Here's also a picture of the M&M guy in the store. Look at the size by the way :)

One of the most craziest and the same time the most enchanting place I've ever been, no doubt, is New York Times Square. All the lights in the darkness makes you just stop and look at it all for a moment. Even though it's full of people and traffic, it's something really different, don't you think?

I couldn't imagine myself living there, but it would be nice to see that city and Times Square :)

When driving your car in Finland (Suomussalmi), you can see a work of art called "Silent People" suddenly standing in a field. Everyone has to imagine themselves, what is the meaning of these people...but it is said, that if somebody divests their clothes, there are just thousands of cruciforms! Soooo crazy!

Today I was in Field Sprint, where 40 junky cars were driving in a field and competing...that was kind a crazy, but fun :D And, of course it was held in Finland..lots of crazy events :)

This picture is taken in one of Tokio's centres, I believe that it was in Ueno. But anyway.. This house is a block away from a 6-lane road.. Crazy, that's what I think :)

Drunken people crossing the street in Thailand, good to know :D

Talking about funny signs, this one was in London. Check the text that someone has written.
tina2 replied 6 months, 2 weeks ago:
Ok, maybe you can't get the picture bigger, but someone had written: "Can you dig it!" there :D

This could be another group: crazy signs :D

Another crazy thing came to me.. While visiting Japan I saw numerous replicas of servings outside in the windows of restaurants. It felt weird, but then again.. Especially being a foreigner, its a huge benefit, because not nearly all Japanese speak English. So go to these restaurants with replicas and you'll know what you're ordering! You can just point them out from the window :D

Ikea in the middle of an industrialized area in Osaka, Japan. Crazy, isn't it??

When visiting Belgium a year ago I went to this restaurant called Leon in Brussels. I wanted to eat a refreshing salad because it was a really hot day and it felt inconvenient to eat something like a stake for example.. So, I ordered a bacon salad. I thought that it would give me enough strength for the remaining day but wouldn't be too heavy to eat. But when I got the "salad" in front of me.. Uff, it was something that I hadn't expected. I guess that some restaurants in Brussels don't think same about salads as I do..
But you tell me: crazy place or completely different thoughts about salad? :)
viivif replied 6 months, 3 weeks ago:
Sounds quite strange.. I think that they'd have to mention about the fact that it's not a basic salad.

I think that Disney World in Paris is a crazy place...it is an experience for adults also, I really loved it! Adults can act like a children :)
eleanor replied 6 months, 3 weeks ago:
Sometimes adults enjoy more than children being in those places :)

If jumping a benji isn't crazy, what is!? :D This picture was taking in Helsinki. This was the highest benji-jump in Finland. Do you guys know, what is the highest in the whole world? Wanna know that!
hannah replied 6 months, 4 weeks ago:
When I was in Bulgary, I jumped a benji-jump, but it started from the ground...so they tighten the benji and bounce me to the sky! :D
jl replied 6 months, 4 weeks ago:
When I was younger I would have wanted to do a benji-jump but never had a chance. Now I'm too old and too scared to do it :)
viivif replied 6 months, 3 weeks ago:
I've heard that the highest bungee-jump can be made in Locarno, Switzerland. Its 220 meters high!

Talking about crazy places.. Would you see yourself living in a "house" like this? I don't know what they do in that tower exactly.. There can't be much space can there?
nipsu replied 6 months, 4 weeks ago:
Seems interesting :)
michael1 from Ireland wrote 7 months ago
Oh yeah and I almost forgot! In Florida the crazy people have a Ernest Hemingway look-a-like contest!

Hi there! Did you know that they have the World Rock Paper Scissors Championship contest in Toronto? Mad people!

I would say, that Maya Bay in Thailand is a very crazy place...I'm sure, it has been very lovely, but nowadays there are sooo many tourists, that you can't even imagine it! You have to see it! That place is so spoiled, allthought it is just "in the middle of nowhere" and you have to come a very long way by a boat to get there :(
hannah replied 6 months, 4 weeks ago:
Oh, I don't really like places, where you can see more tourists than local people...it's so sad :(

I think, that Sandcastle in Finland (Lappeenranta) is very crazy. My relatives took me there...and it's almost like that snowcastle in Kemi, but in a different way :)
