Posted in PICTURES       28 Aug 2009       12109
These photos were taken in a hotel in one provincial town of Russia.
At first glance, nothing suspicious to be noticed. But if you go to the bathroom, then you fully understand the meaning of the word ‘awful’.
Room cost - $ 40 per day. How do you like it?

The day before yesterday morning, the Morakot typhoon hit Taiwan, one of the most powerful typhoons ever to hit Asia.
On the photos, you will see a six-story hotel that collapsed into a river because of the typhoon.

India’s Lake Palace has become a ‘Mud Palace’! (15 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       17 Jul 2009       13806
India’s Lake Palace is a luxury hotel of 83 rooms and 17 suites featuring white marble walls. It is located on a natural foundation of 4 acres (16,000 m2) rock on the Jag Niwas island in Lake Pichola, Udaipur, India. It’s very famous and lots of celebrities visited it but now, the India’s Lake Palace lost its lake after an unprecedented drought…

And what was once one of the favourite hotels of the rich and famous and known as one of the most romantic retreats in the world is not so romantic anymore with its dried lands.
Not only it’s a shame because it was really beautiful but it’s gonna be a big problem for the local economy and the local population which depends on tourism.
You will see inside the post how the Palace looked before and now, when there is no more water.

China has built its own “Venice” (25 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       29 Jun 2009       40736
This “reproduction” is located in Macau, the South-East of China. Actually, it's owned by the Las Vegas Sands corporation and the Venetian Macao is modeled on its sister casino resort – the The Venetian in Las Vegas. You can find all sort of things over there like canals, frescoes, fountains, golden statues…etc. but also the St Mark Square and the Bridge of Sighs.
It is not worth Venice, but it must be nice to visit.
