Amazing Border between Belgium and Netherlands

This is an amazing unusual border line runs between Netherlands and Belgium in a small town called Baarle-Nassau. And this restaurant is in both countries and as per Dutch laws restaurant has to close earlier than Belgium. Hence after the closing time in Netherlands, the people eating the restaurant have to move to the Belgian side and continue. Though I am not sure if the is kitchen also built in both the countries. Sounds interesting! Doesn’t it? Order Dutch Coffee with Gouda cheese from Netherlands and have it with Belgium chocolate!

Most Dangerous Road - The Death Road, Bolivia

According to the Inter-American Development Bank, the Death Road in Bolivia is statistically the most dangerous road in the world. Every year, 200 to 300 people die along a stretch of dirt road less than 50 miles. The 43-mile road leads northeast from the La Paz to Coroico, in the Yungas region of Bolivia. Along the way, it winds up and down through the Andes Mountains.

Since the road has so many curves and twists around each mountain, it’s difficult to see when vehicles are approaching from the opposite direction. Thus, strange as it may seem, some drivers (and passengers) prefer to travel Death Road Bolivia at night when cars and buses have their lights on because they can see the lights of vehicles heading toward them and can plan ahead to stop at one of the slightly wider areas to wait for the other vehicle to pass.

It has also been turned into a tourist attraction, with twelve separate ‘adventure sports’ companies in La Paz offering Death Road mountain biking trips.

The Ancient Theater of Epidaurus near Athens Greece

The Ancient Theater of Epidaurus near Athens Greece was constructed in the late 4th century BC and is one of the best preserved ancient theaters. Even in ancient times, the theater was considered to have great acoustics. The actors can be perfectly heard by all 15,000 spectators without amplification. To demonstrate the theaters great acoustics tour guides have their groups scattered in the stands and then show them how faint sounds can be heard at center-stage.

How this sound quality was achieved? In 2007 researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have discovered that the limestone material of the seats provide a filtering effect suppressing low frequencies of voices, thus minimizing background crowd noise so the seats act as natural acoustic traps. It is still unknown whether the acoustic properties are the result of an accident or the product of advanced design.
