Interesting Travel Log in SpainHere’s an interesting travel log in Spain, pretty funny.
| A 24 hour ride with a junky from Ibiza had landed me in the middle of Spain under a fig tree. I chewed some fruit and stared out at the burnt fields of olive trees and wheat. It wouldn’t make a bad bed for the night. I put my bags in the shade and waited in the sun as Spanish drivers passed me with the contempt they reserved for gypsies, hippies and other itinerant scum. |

Most Bike-Friendly Cities in the World!Here’s a good list of the most bike-friendly cities in the world. I can attest to San Francisco and Davis being bike-friendly as I have lived in both. Davis is probably the friendliest, although cops there will give you a parking ticket for bikes too.
Biking is a great way to become intimate with a city and get excercise at the same time. There are many amazing cities for biking throughout the world - these gems allow you to explore the city at ease and safely. The 11 most accessible and bike friendly cities are listed below, but these are merely a sampling of the bike friendly paradises that exist throughout the world. (Please scroll to the end of the article for a look at the factors that went into determining this list.)

Culebra, an Island to live at?Here’s an interesting information about Culebra, U.S. owned Island. I guess you can live there too!
Why Culebra?
We chose this laid-back little island just a hop and a skip from the States partly because it offers some of the world’s best beaches (the half-moon sliver of Flamenco Beach shines brightest). We also liked that you don’t need a visa to move there since it’s a U.S. territory, and a sizable expat community already toasts the sunset together from the island’s Dinghy Dock bar. But Culebra still offers its own feisty mix of West Indian and Puerto Rican culture. Add in the island’s healthy reefs (a dream for diving), and 10,000-plus-acre wildlife refuge (ripe for exploring), and we start to wonder why we don’t live there already. |

Free Attractions in Amsterdam!Here’s a good list of free attractions in Amsterdam for you budget travelers.

1. Zuiderkerk is the first church commissioned by the Protestant community. It was built in 1611 and it stands on the Zuiderkerkhof square near St Antoniesbreestraat. The church is wonderfully preserved and nowadays it houses the Municipal Center for Physical Planning and Public Housing. A permanent exhibition features Amsterdam’s ambitious future building plans. You also have a chance to see frequently held temporary exhibitions. Imposing enough to have inspired both Sir Christopher Wren (famous British architect who built London’s Saint Paul’s Cathedral) and Claude Monet, Zuiderkerk is open to tourists for free.

Mystery House in San Jose, CaliforniaI went to this Mystery House in San Jose about 20 years ago. It’s probably the same but here’s some good explanation of this weird house.
| In the heart of the virtual capital city of the technology-rich Silicon Valley, San Jose, with its miles and miles of functional characterless modern IT buildings sits a bizarre anachronistic house built over 100 years ago. Belonging to Sarah Winchester, wife of the famous rifle maker William Winchester, this haunting (and haunted) mansion, set in superb gardens, took over 38 years to construct (working 24 hours per day on every day of the year) and features around four stories, 160 rooms, over 1200 windows and three elevators. It has never been completed, work stopping the day she died. |

The official name is Hang Nga Guesthouse and gallery, but all locals refer to it as the crazy house. And when you stand in front of its entrance it is easy to see why: this house is indeed strange. It does not comply with any convention about house building, has unexpected twists and turns, roofs and rooms. It looks like a fairy tale castle, it has enormous “animals” like a giraffe and a spider, no window is rectangular or round, and it can be visited like a museum.
