That's NOT a Funny Playground

It depends the way you look, but i always thought that child toys have something creepy, like dolls. But this probably is even worse, an abandoned playground in Sergeevka, Russia, by the Black Sea. Was once a Resort. 

Creepy Pictures of a Russian Prison

What are you going to see are the pictures of an abandoned prison located in Perm County. The place looks so scary, the rooms so old and what would you think after know that the prison was abandoned just in 2005?

London Underground, The River Fleet

Seems like London has another world underground, over the metro system still place for rivers. The Fleet River is the largest one and last one to be buried. Time here is quite important, as long you don't want to swim, actually the river can fill up to the roof in about 30 minutes, pretty scary!

Lunch Beat, the Lunch Break Dance Party!

Another boring day at work, another boring sandwich at your lunch break, another boring bar where you can it. Well, i guess this is what you are use to do. But what if you can have a party during your break? And i mean a proper party! I'm not daydreaming, this is what Swedish people do!

This is a new trend started in Stockholm and spreading to other cities in Europe. Is a perfect way to get energy, dance one hour and then back to work. Lunch beat starts generally at noon, the entrance is about 14$ and the atmosphere is exactly like a night club. The events are no-profit, the price of the ticket is used to pay the rent and sandwiches (you won't go back to work hungry).

There is just one rule: DANCE!!!

Let's Skate in Afghanistan! Let's Skateistan!

In a country destroyed by bombs some kids decided to jump on their boards against all this mass destruction and the result is Skateistan. A Kabul-based Afghan NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) which is non political and includes all the religions ethnicities and social backgrounds. Since two australian guys dropped their boards in Kabul in 2007, they were surrounded by lots of kids that wanted to learn how to skate. A group of afghan friends who were naturals at skateboarding shared their three boards, the next step was to bring more boards and establish an indoor skateboarding avenue. Now they've got a skate park since october 2009. They teach both female and male and transcending social barriers.
Wanna show your tricks? You can become a volunteer for six months in Afghanistan! All expenses will be paid including travel, visa and living costs!
You can apply in their website, check it.

The Island of Dolls, Mexico

The Island of Dolls (Isla de la Munecas) is located in the canals that lies to the south of Mexico City, close to Xochimilco. The story tells that half century ago a little girl drowned in one of these canals. The Island has only one permanent inhabitant, an hermit called Don Julian Santana Barrera. After the death of the little girl he fished out one doll from a canal, thinking was a sign from the evil spirit Barrera decided to hanging the dolls on the trees, making the Island into a shrine to calm the spirit of the dead girl. The dolls have missing eyes and other body parts. Don Julian Santana lived in the Island for 50 years and died in 2001. He was found drowned in the same canal he believed the girl died.
