Alaska Things To Do
Alaska: Accessible Anchorage Accessible Anchorage by PA2AKgirl
Anchorage is our biggest city and where we currently reside. I’m putting on my “things to do” section because, despite the fact it is considered to be “20 minutes from Alaska” and “just another city”, it does provide services and opportunities you will not find anywhere else in the state. Before we moved up here, I always wondered why this city was as large as it was and aside from work, what compelled people to live in Anchorage of all places.... [read more]
Gonder General Tips
Gonder: Gonder, early morning Gonder, early morning by sachara
From Gonder we left early in the morning to Debark and the Simien Mountains. Because the restaurant of our hotel was still closed, we went to the towncentre to visit the bakery for fresh bread for breakfast and lunch.

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.
