This famous Japanese festival is held every 6 years in the Lake Suwa. Onbashira means “the honored pillars” and consists of two parts: Yamadashi that takes place in April and Satobiki that is celebrated in May. Men prepare for the first part by cutting down huge trees that will be used as logs later on. During Yamadashi, participants have to drag these logs down the mountain. Young guys show how brave they are in “Ki-otoshi” ceremony by riding the tree poles on the slope. It’s rather spectacular.

I don’t know who did these comparisons but some of them are really funny.

There have been numerous trends that have come and gone over the years. As these photos show, some of these trends were way more embarrassing than others. All of us adopted one or another of these trends at some time during our lives. Kind of makes you wish you were an outsider doesn’t it?

The life of royal families is rather curious. And the life of Prince Charles is probably the most interesting “modern” case.

The prince is well-known all over the world, and you can see his life in pictures after the jump.

This is a usual child’s room. But it has a hidden door that leads into a secret room :)

I say – more girls in the army! ;)

Very often Russians park their cars in garage blocks that are sometimes located far from their houses and are built in lines. Well, this tradition has lead to a real spring “car” flood in Moscow. Some unknown company was installing a heating system not far from a block of garages, and afterwards two water wells “mysteriously” disappeared. Guess what? Over 150 car garages were flooded!
