Whenever I have some time I try to find out interesting websites which give absorbing and good reading material. Such websites refresh my memories because I have traveled quite a bit and seen plenty of places. So I choose websites which give as many mind-blowing facts and figures of places and things. Recently I came across one website in which I could glean a lot of information, exchange ideas and learn something. This website consists of blogs ranging from the wonders of the world to cute homes and strange facts.
I am talking of Blog the Best which has the most fascinating information I have ever read. I read about the seven wonders of the modern world which was voted by internet users. This was followed by seven ancient wonders of the world, of medieval ages, natural wonders, underwater world, and Industrial world. It certainly made interesting reading. The Great Wall of China, the Taj Mahal and others were listed in the wonders as well.
While going through the seven wonders, my mind went to the Colosseum in Rome where the ruins still stand in their glory. I imagined the Angel Falls with the water gushing down, white and frothy, with a lot of sound and cool sprays. I dreamt of climbing the Great Wall of China and walking on it. This is the only visible man made thing from the moon, I am told. Reading good blogs on a good website opens up the mind and explores new vistas.
Can you imagine a shower changing color depending on the temperature of the water? Well, such a discovery is here for all of us to use. This signified the end of turning the shower and wondering whether the water would be too hot or too cold and then adjusting it to the required temperature. Isn't this a grand idea of knowing in advance how hot or cold the water would be?
One of the blogs in this website talks about a 2,500 years old wreck discovered lying at the bottom of the sea off the Sicilian coast in Italy. Even today some artifacts like lanterns are found here, quite intact and well preserved, making this shipwreck the best preserved one ever. Studies reveal that it might have been a terrible storm that blew away this ship and shoved it to the bottom of the sea.
A unique and really cool experience is on staying in the Ice Hotel which is created in the North of Sweden in the Arctic Circle region. This Ice Hotel is made out of the surrounding ice in the depth of winter and beautifully carved out. People come here and stay and probably have an 'exhilarating' experience. Come summer and it melts down into a puddle of water. The following year, history and story is repeated and a fresh new Ice Hotel is made for tourists to stay. Now, isn't that great?
When we consume chicken, little do we think about its life. A concerted effort by Television chef Hugh Fernlay-Whittingstall in his show, 'Hugh's Chicken Run' has managed to change the mindset of millions of people. They now buy free range eggs whose sales have risen by more than 50 % because of his campaign. He has decided to improve the quality of life and the welfare of chickens.
Such blogs on any website which can be read by anyone and everyone, and commented and discussed is bound to be a highly successful one. Why wait? Go and read this website.
