Krokowa Local Customs
Krokowa: Do you speak Kashubian? Do you speak Kashubian? by evaanna
Many of the local people in the area of Krokowa are the descendants of the Kashubians, the autochthonous population of Pomerania. As I have already shown on my Hel and Jastarnia pages, streets are given dual names in those places, Polish and Kashubian. But the inhabitants of Krokowa have gone one step further. The words under the colourful picture that is located on a house in the centre of the village are in Kashubian only. I can more or less... [read more]
Alaska Things To Do
Alaska: Scenic Seward Scenic Seward by PA2AKgirl
From Anchorage, Seward is a day trip (125 miles/ 200 km) and any time of the year. We went down in the winter and while some of the larger activities were not available, it didn’t really matter.

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.
