Flock of Seagulls, Men Without Hats and Visage Videos

Central America’s Lost Kingdoms Cultures Documentaries
Teotihuacan the place where time began. The above wasn’t one of our little poems, it was the title of the fourth and last Lost Kingdoms of Central America, which is available until November 8th by my calculations, but only in the U.K. I think.

Lapland, Finland Top of the Mind World Poetry, Philosophy, Comedy
What is the point of travelling, learning and learning about travelling. I think it is enjoyable and can be useful for current thought processes and future knowledge. Sometimes, the best part of travelling is the feeling that you are not learning… or even living: that you are outside any human reality, and back within nature, the […]

Cow Dressing World Record and Marine Sculpture
The greenygrey loved virtually travelling around Australia learning lots of new place names, and the cultures they inspired in the communities, told in the Werewolf of Oz book. So I was thrilled to read that Cowaramup, also known as Cowtown, has broken the Guiness World Record for people dressing up as cows. Cow Dressing World Record […]
