Canberra: And with the beer, maybe watch a naughty movie? And with the beer, maybe watch a naughty movie? by tiabunna
The ACT and Northern Territory are the only jurisdictions in Australia where X rated movies are available legally - state censorship prevents their sale in the rest of Australia. It is, however, legal to sell them by mail order to the rest of Australia, so one of Canberra's major industries is copying and posting naughty videos around Australia. Adult shops selling such movies and, I hear, all manner of other amazing products, are located in the... [read more]

Xam Nua: Pathet Lao caves Pathet Lao caves by aemilys
From Sam Neua you can easily get a songtheaw to Vieng Xai. This is a marvellous place.The Pathet Lao hid out here and resisted the American efforts to invade SEA for 9 whole years...so yes, a place of resistance, a mystical place...don't feel guilty either because in the end they won. They resisted, they survived and this place is theirs but I got the distinct feeling that we are welcome too. Perfect for a day trip or even a weekend... [read more]

Thanks Sue; and congratulations Francesca and Lorenzo.



The World's Top 10 Ugliest Buildings

The great thing about travel may be seeing the world through a different lens, but that doesn't mean the view is always pretty. With this in mind, the travel experts at VirtualTourist.com have come up with a list of "The World's Top 10 Ugliest Buildings and Monuments." General manager, Giampiero Ambrosi talks about the selections: "Some of these picks have all the charm of a bag of nails while others are just jaw-dropping in their complexity. Love them or hate them, the list is certainly entertaining."



We LOVE hearing from VirtualTourist members and visitors alike. We frequently get notes just letting us know that you're out there and you're enjoying VT. Very often we'll forward the mail around to the rest of the team, to share the love. Drop us a note, we'd love to hear from you.

You can see more community news items from previous days in the Community News Archives Drop us a note at feedback@virtualtourist.com if you'd like your item to be considered.
