If anyone, then climbers are used to living in the harshest conditions and if anyone, then they have tough skin. Freezing and similar inconveniences are their daily routine, not to mention the dangers they are exposed to. But if you would like to sleep like real climbers in a wall, but you don't want to sacrifice the comfort of a hotel or even your life, Natura Vive Skylodge, a rock wall accommodation in Peru, now allows you to do so.

Sometimes I walk around the keyboard, sometimes in nature. One time I twist the heels, the other time the kitchen. I press the trigger once, the pedals a second time. And one time I play the role of a moviegoer, another time a nanny. Life offers such a wide range of things that it would be pointless to dip your brush in just a color or two, right?
Are you curious about who doesn't want to be your friend anymore on Facebook? There is a new-old app called Who Deleted Me on Facebook that reveals who deleted you from their friends list on Facebook. It is a gesture that hurts many people, so use it with caution, because it can happen that you will realize that Tanja is not as good a friend as you thought. And how does it work? The application creates a list of current friends, keeps track of it and notifies you if someone removes you.
Frank Sinatra's Villa Maggio was built in 1967 and was named after the character Sintara played in the film From Here to Eternity (1953). It is the former refuge of the legendary American singer and film actor, who spent twelve years of his life on this more than 20,000 square meter estate. The villa is located at an altitude of 1,300 meters and overlooks Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley (California, USA). The famous plot of land with associated buildings is sold today for almost four million US dollars.
5 years of research, cooperation with the Formula 1 team and the result is in front of you. Driving simulator TL3 Racing Simulator, which literally makes playing racing simulations on Playstation and Xbox consoles funny. Would you like to drive a Porsche, a Formula 1 tank or any other vehicle that you can only dream of in real life? In the simulator with three projectors, you will feel as if you are living this dream.
Coolers are also a mandatory part of summer equipment for camping and lying on the beach. But if you don't carry it just a few meters away, it quickly becomes a burden along with the umbrella, towels and other equipment, especially if you want to retreat to a more remote or hidden corner. If you don't want to lose your hand or your mini-wheel, consider the ATC All Terrain Cooler by Igloo, which you can easily carry over grass and stubble.
2 meters and 70 centimeters. This is the widest part of the rocky crevice through which Uli Emanuele flew in a base diving suit. It is probably the most technically demanding base jump in history, which Emanuel has been planning for three years. Crazy in every sense of the word!
Just as a 5-liter keg of beer is not uncommon at a picnic or summer party, neither is a watermelon. But why always serve it in the conventional way, cut into pieces or slices, when you can serve it like beer from a keg. Well, beer and watermelon still don't go together, so you can make a keg out of a watermelon rind and pour draft watermelon out of it through a spigot.
Classic motorhomes are too big and bulky, caravans are impractical and not flexible enough. What do you choose? The new Volkswagen California small camper, a vehicle created for camping enthusiasts. Seven seats, as many as five beds, a retractable roof and two versions of the itinerary. All this with the basic Beach model, which, like the other two "Californias" of the sixth generation, will initially be powered by a TDi diesel unit, and later by a gasoline engine.
Forget telescopes. The Nikon Coolpix P900 digital camera has such an impossible zoom that you can see the moon with it. For him, even the sky is no longer the limit, and his 83-fold magnification not only sets new milestones, but also brings things that were previously in the domain of satellites, astronauts and sinfully expensive equipment closer to ordinary mortals. For just over 550 euros, you can now use your camera to peek and document the happenings on the Moon through your home window.
Do you remember when Russian photographers Vadim Mahora and Vitali Raskalov captured the world's attention with photos taken illegally from the top of the Giza pyramids? Or those taken from the top of the unfinished Ping An skyscraper in China? A crazy adventure or an audacious and disrespectful act, Russians are not alone in such actions. We have collected the most spectacular photos of tourist attractions around the world that were taken illegally.
Many breathtaking works of art are created by human hands. Also, works of art are created on the hands that rival those on the canvases. One who falls into this second category of artist is Russell Powell, but he doesn't do tattoos, which is what you might think at first. Powell draws incredibly realistic portraits with his own hand, or rather the palm of his hand. But his pictures don't just stay on his hand, because he prints them on paper like a stamp.
Swimsuit season is in full swing. And if it is a well-known fact that high heels are uncomfortable and men do not need to try them on to make sure of this, this does not apply to women's swimwear at first glance. Are they really that comfortable or do women have to suffer for beauty? This was experienced firsthand by men who compared different models of women's swimwear.
