Read excellent blogs on the Net
Traveling is my passion and collecting information on various topics is another. During my leisure time I visit different websites which give interesting information that add to my knowledge and where I can comment and exchange information with. Recently while net surfing I came across a very interesting website which gave quite a few blogs having correct and interesting information. There were wonders of the world along with scientific discoveries, history, geography, you name it and it was there.
Blog the Best begins by giving information of the seven wonders of the modern world selected through 90 million votes cast in 21 sites on the Internet. They include The Great Wall of China, Petra in Jordan, Statue of Christ in Brazil, Machu Picchu in Peru, Chichen Itza Pyramid, The Colosseum in Rome and the Taj Mahal in India. This Blog by Rosie includes the 7 wonders of the Ancient World, the 7 Wonders of Medieval Ages, 7 natural wonders selected by CNN, the 7 wonders of the Underwater World assembled by CEDAM International and the 7 wonders of the Industrial World featured by the BBC.
I almost felt a spray of water on my face as I dreamt of the Angel Falls, which is one of the wonders. I marveled at the engineering brains which cut short a very long sea route and allowed cargo ships to pass through from one part of the world to another in a relatively shorter time. I am talking of the Panama Canal which is really a world’s engineering wonder.
The next blogs give information of Sustainable Homes, Unique showers which change color depending upon the temperature of the shower so that a person can just know the warmth of the shower by looking at it instead of shivering or getting boiled; followed by an article on Bluetooth watches which help those who forget their mobiles at home. All these blogs make good reading and are a delight to go through.
Those interested in discoveries and history, like me, are delighted with the blog which talks of a 2,500 old Greek ship which has been raised from the sea bed off the Sicilian Coast in Italy. The ship is 21 meters long and is the biggest and the most preserved wreck. Artifacts like lanterns have been found on the wreckage and it is felt that the ship might have been used to sail short distances and a storm might have been responsible for its sinking.
Ever heard or read about an ice hotel? It really does exist in the North of Sweden in the Arctic Circle. It is built every year when there is plenty of ice and the architecture is great, they say. When it is time for summer, it naturally melts paving the way for a fresh new Ice Hotel the following year.
When we consume chicken, little do we think about its life. A concerted effort by Television chef Hugh Fernlay-Whittingstall in his show, ‘Hugh’s Chicken Run’ has managed to change the mindset of millions of people. They now buy free range eggs whose sales have risen by more than 50 % because of his campaign. He has decided to improve the quality of life and the welfare of chickens.
