With all that it has to offer for just about any type of couple, Hawaii is never far from anyone’s mind when it comes to the top 10 honeymoon destinations in the world. Hawaii was (and is) hugely popular with tourists and honeymooners alike, even before the place became one of America’s fifty states in the year 1959. Numerous five-star resorts and beach villas offer total luxury, while rustic eco-resorts are also available for a more authentic Hawaiian experience.

Made up of hundreds of isles spanning the Pacific Ocean in about 1,500 miles, Hawaii’s most famous islands include the big island itself (Hawaii), Maui, and Oahu. Within these islands you’ll find every kind of attraction that might bring you and your loved one extreme pleasure – from water sports like scuba diving and parasailing to nature activities like volcano tours and mountain biking. Of course, a luau or traditional Hawaiian feast may be the perfect ending to a fun-filled day before you both retire to your room for a night of pure romance. 09 more after the break...

10 Most Unusual Parks in the World


Nature - The best artist, but sometimes it interferes with the idea man, and because such an alliance appear surprising places. We offer you a selection of the most unusual parks in the world.

Park Buddhas — Laos
The park was started in 1958 by Luang Pu (Venerable Grandfather) Bunleua Sulilat. Luang Pu Bunleua Sulilat was a priest-shaman who integrated Hinduism and Buddhism. His unique perspective was influenced by a Hindu rishi under whom he studied in Vietnam. After the revolution in 1975, anxious about the repercussions of the rule of Pathet Lao, he fled from Laos to Thailand where he built another sculpture park, Sala Keoku in Nong Khai. Both parks are located right next to the Thai-Lao border (Mekong river), only a few kilometers apart from each other, and the tallest structures of the Buddha Park can actually be seen from the Thai side of Mekong.

The statues are made of reinforced concrete and are ornate, and sometimes bizarre, in design. The statues appear to be centuries old, though they are not. There are sculptures of humans, gods, animals, and demons. There are numerous sculptures of Buddha, characters of Buddhist beliefs like Avalokitesvara, and characters of Hindu lore, including Shiva, Vishnu, and Arjuna. These sculptures were presumably cast by unskilled workers under the supervision of Luang Pu Bunleua Sulilat. One notable sculpture resembles a giant pumpkin. It has three stories representing three levels - Hell, Earth and Heaven. Visitors can enter through an opening which is a mouth of a 3-metre-tall demon head (9.8 ft) and climb staircases from hell to heaven. Each story contains sculptures depicting the level. At the top, there is a vantage point where the entire park is visible. Another sculpture, an enormous 120-metre-long (390 ft) reclining Buddha, is also a park attraction.  Text — Via... 09 more after the break...
