Art-Eggcident in Leeuwarden by Henk Hofstra.

Art-Eggcident in Leeuwarden by Henk Hofstra.

Dutch artist Henk Hofstra is back & this time it's the sculptures called 'Art Eggcident' (environmental art project) in Leeuwarden, Netherlands. Remember we brought to you his earlier work titled 'Urban River' where he painted a complete city street aqua blue. Recently several large ones (each 100 feet wide) were spread on the Zaailand - one of the Netherland's largest city squares. The largest ones are totally flat, but the smaller ones have a three-dimensional 'yolk', & are able to take the weight of the kids.

Modern Laundry.

Modern Laundry.

These are the dhobighats, the large laundry of Mumbai where thousands of men clean thousands of clothes everyday. A lot of people in India use this where these men (dhobi, a traditional laundryman) who collect, clean & iron the clothes in the place like this. These people live & work here. Later on it is continued by their next generation. If you get your laundry done in India, remember that it most probably goes to one such place.

A One-Room Hotel In Paris.

A One-Room Hotel In Paris.

Hotel Everland, the creation of Swiss artists Sabina Lang & Daniel Baumann, on the roof of Palais de Tokyo is an art consisting of an actual one-room hotel. It offers 1970's-style glamour, a turquoise-tiled bathroom, a record player with a collection of vinyl discs, & a spectacular view of the Eiffel Tower but remember no TV.
If you are interested in the room in the hotel, you can actually stay in it & is offered at a price of 333 Euros per night during weekdays & 444 Euros at weekends. But do remember it will remain atop the Palais de Tokyo until the end of 2008 only.

Swim On The Verge Of The Victoria Falls.

Swim On The Verge Of The Victoria Falls.

Swimming on the verge of the Victoria Falls is something you shouldn't miss if you happen to be around this place, especially during the months of September & December.
Its during these months, flow is at a safe level, & people can swim as close as possible to the verge of the falls within the swimming pool. And this is made possible due to a natural rock wall, which is just below the water & at the very verge of the falls that stops their progress despite the current. The Victoria Falls is situated in southern Africa between the countries of Zambia & Zimbabwe, with height of 108 meters (360 ft), forming the largest sheet of falling water in the world & is one of the biggest, most beautiful waterfalls in the world.

Restaurants That You Wouldn't Like To Visit.

Restaurants That You Wouldn't Like To Visit.

Now who would like to eat at these restaurants & in their unique shaped dishes used for serving food? "Modern Toilet Restaurant" the names itself is quite interesting & once the person sees the arrangement, its done; no more eating for the day. Perhaps it's not so for all. A very well said thing: 'these ideas are far-fetched for foreigners, but in Japan, they can become reality'.

Life In Toy Factories.

Its not long ago that Mattel recalled 9 million more of its toys including popular Barbie, Polly Pocket & "Cars" movie items discovering considerable amount of lead in the toy paint & tiny magnets. More than 70% of the world's toys are made in East Asia & are outsourced through out the world.
These photos gives an inside view / access to a few assembly plants outside US, how the working environment & the living conditions are & their manufacturing processes. If you are the one who runs or works with a manufacturing plant in the US, then perhaps here is where you meet the competition…
