Honolulu Things To Do
Honolulu: Keiki Hula Festival Every end... Keiki Hula Festival Every end... by Hexepatty
Keiki Hula Festival Every end of July! Seeing adorable children dance hula literally brings tears to my eyes! Sure, there are other hula competitions, the Merrie Monarch being the most popular, naturally. But the Merrie Monarch focuses on all groups. I like the Keiki Hula cuz it just cuts to the chase and focues on the Keiki. It is tyically held in a nice air con building and is very reasonably priced!!! [read more]

Temple of Abu Simbel: Reliefs Reliefs by MalenaN

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.
