The Tunnel of Love

The Tunnel of Love - Walk Amidst the Greenery

  


The Tunnel of Love Ukraine is possibly the most romantic place on earth and definitely a hidden gem waiting to be discovered in the Ukraine. It is known for being a favorite place for couples to take morning or evening strolls. If you’re planning to surprise your significant other on Valentine’s day, ditch the usual trip to Disneyland and book your trip to Ukraine.

Not many people outside of the Ukraine have heard of the tunnel of love. However, we are sure due to the perfect Instagrammable shots and its ranking as one of the most romantic places in the world, it will be flooded with tourists from around the globe in the not too distant future

Fun Facts

The tunnel of love is a 3km abandoned railway line. But yes trains still run along the tunnel of love so keep an eye (and ear) out for oncoming trains! We didn’t think trains still run this route and almost got hit!

Lovers visiting the Tunnel of Love today have Odek plywood factory to thank for the carefully sculpted tunnel. Were it not for their business, which transports relies on the railway to transport plywood from their factory through the “tunnel” to Klaven railway station, the tunnel would in all likelihood be completely overgrown.

Vampires lurk in the tunnel. Seriously hundreds, if not thousands of blood-thirsty mosquitoes, sit waiting in the trees ready to attack their helpless victims (us)! I have never been attacked by such ravenous mosquitoes in plague-like numbers. After a while, you just accept your fate is to be a human blood bag. Gross.

In the cold war era trees were planted close to the railway line to conceal secret weapons and vehicles transported to the soviet military base. Even today you can find the railway line diverges: to Odek plywood factory to the right and to a secret Ukrainian military base to the left.

Apparently, there is luggage store at Rivne train station. We didn’t see said store?

Location: Ukraine

Best time to visit: May

How to reach: Fly to Ukraine and take a bus or train to Rivne. Get to Rivne train station where you’ll be able to see the tunnel.

5 Old-Times Practice Things that Filipino Still DO!

There were lot of Filipino beliefs that people have abandon. Contrary to popular belief, not all the shocking practices our ancestors used to do have been relegated to the dustbin of history. In fact, these practices—far from being consigned to the schoolbooks—are actually very much in vogue today (some more than others). Here are some example of Filipino Beliefs that still being followed. 


1. Inserting “Bolitas” Into The Male Genitals.





Pilik-mata ng Kambing – one of the sexual accoutrements used by Filipinos. Photograph taken from Colors Magazine, January 1997 issue. You might probably have heard how the Filipinos in pre-colonial times used to insert all sorts of implants and adornments into their genitals in order to enhance their partner’s sexual experience; apparently, the practice continues to be observed among members of the sea-faring community.


2.  “Pukpok.”




Known as traditional circumcision, “pukpok” is seen as a coming-of-age ritual for boys and is mostly done in many rural areas across the Philippines.

3. “Kutkot.” 


Located in the island of Mindoro, the tribe still observes the practice of “kutkot” where they literally dig up the remains of a loved one a year after his/her death and dress it up in clothes. To make the remains more human, the family bundles it up in clothes to form a mannequin-like figure called a “sinakot.”

4.  Female Circumcision.



Hard to believe, but it’s not only males whose genitals go under the knife in this country. Certain Muslim communities in the south also have their women undergo ritual circumcision called “Pag-Islam” or “Pag-Sunnat.” As we can recall, female circumcision (or Female Genital Mutilation as the World Health Organization calls it) is a hugely controversial practice and has been condemned by many in the international community due to its harmful effects on women. Like its male counterpart, the tradition is said to have been introduced into the country by Muslim settlers, although another theory holds it was the pagan pre-Spanish Filipinos who started the ritual.

5. Whaling.




A little-known fact: our ancestors, especially those living in the coastal areas, used to hunt whales, dolphins, whale sharks, and other large fish and mammals for subsistence. The practice, which was documented as early as the 17th century and became an industry during the different historical eras, was outlawed in 1997after it came under intense international scrutiny.
Unfortunately, no definitive conclusion can be reached as to whether the practice has really been eradicated. On the contrary, anti-whaling advocates concede that the ban may have merely forced the whalers to continue their operations in secret.

That's all i hope you learned a lot of this information. Follow me for more updates.

Scary Places that you don't want to be alone.



All of us love to go to beautiful places around the world, but in this blog you will discover new places but this time it will be the opposite of beauty. All the places listed in here are all real, even I am having some goosebumps just by watching all these pictures.



1.  The Island of the Dolls, Mexico


All of this dolls can be found all over the island, just by watching those dolls will give you some goosebumps all over your body. 

2. Aokigahara, Japan


If you wanna die just by scaring your self well this is the place for you. While walking into this forest will hear some creepy voices whispering in to your ears ( just kidding ). In this forest you will also see some signboard saying " Life is Precious " " Consult the Police before you decided to die " at the entrance.It is the most haunted suicide point in the country with several paranormal activities reported so far!

3. Lome Bazaar, Togo, Africa


A market in Africa, where you can find all the necessary commodities to practice black magic, the Lome Bazaar is one of the scariest sites in the country. From freshly killed animals to well-preserved animal remains, skeletons and other parts, one can find everything in this market.

4.  Miyake-jima, Japan


How hard and scary it will be to spend the entire life wearing a gas-mask? If you want to find an answer to this, visit the Miyake-jima, where people spent most of their lives wearing a gas mask in order to withstand the poisonous gases evolving from the active volcanoes.

5.  Mirny Diamond Mine, Eastern Siberia, Russia



Did the Bermuda Triangle and its mysteries ever fascinate you? Be it a yes or no, but this deserted mine in Russia will surely do! Though the mine is closed now, no one has yet been able to explain why helicopters flying above the mine-hole were sucked into it!



I hope you all start having nightmare tonight. Wooaaahhhh hahahaha. Just kidding.

Fruits And Veggies You Didn't Know Grew Like That

There are lot of Fruits and Veggies that people doesn't know what it's full purpose or what it really is. Here are some few of those fruits and Veggies:

1. Eggplants


Eggplant is low in fat, cholesterol and sodium, and contains nutrients invaluable for good health. Shahla Khan, a senior adjunct professor in the Department of Nutrition and Dietetics at the University of North Florida, discusses myths and facts about this fruit. 
Myth: Eggplant is a vegetable
Fact: While it’s generally thought of as a vegetable, eggplant is actually a fruit. The eggplant, aubergine, melongene, brinjal or guinea squash is a plant of the family Solanaceae. Eggplant is grown for its usually egg-shaped fleshy fruit and is eaten as a cooked vegetable. Some even consider it a berry.
Myth: Consuming eggplant causes insanity and can be poisonous
Fact: Because eggplant is a member of the nightshade family, people thought the purple bulb variety was associated with the mandrake plant and was poisonous, and if you ate it, you would go insane. Some people also thought nightshade vegetables were harmful because they confused them with “deadly nightshade,” an inedible weed that’s also part of the Solanaceae family. Historically, deadly nightshade has been associated with witchcraft. When ingested in large amounts, it’s believed to cause convulsions or even death. But that has nothing to do with eggplant.

2. Papaya


The Papaya, also called papaw, or pawpaw, is the fruit of the Carica Papaya tree. It is believed to be native to southern Mexico and neighboring Central America.

3. Cashews


Cashew shells are poisonous. Raw cashews are surrounded by a double shell which contain urushiol, a resin that can produce rashes and is toxic to ingest. Cashews are related to pistachios, mangos and poison ivy. The poisonous part of the cashew is the same stuff that makes poison ivy “poison” and is also found in the mango plant.

4. Peanuts

  • The peanut is not a nut, but a legume related to beans and lentils.
  • Peanuts are naturally cholesterol-free.
  • March is National Peanut Month
  • A mature peanut plant produces about 40 pods that then grow into peanuts.

5. Pineapple 

  • Pineapples regenerate! You can plant pineapple leaves to grow a new plant.
  • Pineapples contain the bromelain enzyme which can break down proteins, so you can use them to tenderize meat.
  • Hawaii produces about 1/3 of all pineapples in the world.
  • Pineapples are a cluster of hundreds of fruitlets.
  • Pineapples take about 18-20 months to become ready to harvest.
  • Pineapples are native to South America before Christopher Columbus discovered them in 1493.
  • Pineapple is the only edible fruit of its kind, the Bromeliads.
  • One pineapple plant can produce one pineapple at a time.
  • Pineapples ripen faster upside down.

That's all for today. I hope you gain some new information on this blog. Please follow me for more Great and Crazy Information that i'll post next time.

Sark, French Sercq, one of the Channel Islands, a dependency of Guernsey, located in the English Channel, south of England’s coast. Sark lies 7 miles (11 km) east of Guernsey and about 25 miles (40 km) west of the Cherbourg Peninsula of France. The island, which is 3 miles (5 km) long and 1.5 miles (2.4 km) wide at its broadest point, consists of two components, Great Sark and Little Sark, which are connected by La Coupée (a 300-foot- [90-metre-] long isthmus that is only about 30 feet [10 metres] wide). The smaller, privately owned island of Brecqhou (Brechou) is separated from Great Sark by the narrow Le Gouliot Channel. Sark is part of the Bailiwick of Guernsey. The island is essentially a plateau rising to 375 feet (114 metres), with a scenic coast encircled by precipitous cliffs. The island has three small harbours: Creux, La Maseline, and Havre Gosselin.

Delicious Foods that People don't know Were Healthy.



No people likes to pass on the foods they would typically indulge in, but you know what is the truth, you don’t have to. Whether you’re looking to lose weight, maintain your current weight, or simply add more nutritional value to your diet, these so called “guilty foods” CAN be made healthy. It just requires some crafty resourcefulness… and maybe a little elbow grease!


1. Egg Dishes




A new study from Louisiana State University showed that people who ate a morning meal made with eggs felt fuller and consumed fewer calories at lunchtime than those who ate cold cereal. One explanation: Each 72-calorie egg contains six grams of hunger-busting protein, not to mention memory-boosting choline and vision-protecting lutein. Get cracking with these delicious egg dishes  whip one up in less than 15 minutes.

2. Rice


Consider utilizing wild rice in dishes that would normally call for white or brown rice like stir fries, soups, or salad recipes. Wild rice, like quinoa, is slightly higher in protein, giving it a nutritional advantage to white or brown rice. Plus, it’s an excellent source of fiber!

3. Pizza


Pizza is one of the popular dishes in the world, and has found itself in the center of discussions about advantages and disadvantages of its consumption. One of the most common misapprehensions about pizza is that, they are the part of the so called "fast food" types of foods. In reality, pizza can actually be very nutritional meal that can provide adequate sustenance to our body and metabolism. Pizza is a good source of some essential nutrients; it can be high in sodium, fat and calories.

4. Burgers


Red meat, including hamburger, tends to be overlooked as part of a nutritious diet; but moderate amounts fit perfectly into a balanced diet. Hamburger meat packs your meal with nutrients, like iron, vitamin B-12 and protein. So if you're a generally healthy person, a hamburger once in awhile may have some benefits.

5. Lasagna



With thinly sliced zucchini or eggplant as noodles, you can turn this dish into low carb, just like THAT! Swap out ricotta for cottage cheese for a lower fat option!
