'The Rock Restaurant' in Zanzibar ( 3 pics)





‘The Rock Restaurant’ is built on a tiny ocean rock, in Zanzibar, Tanzania. What more do we need than a little shack on a remote beach, to hang loose and relish eat fresh seafood? This lovely place is situated on a rock near the shore of the Michanwi Pingwe beach.
Supposedly the restaurant serves a wide variety of sea food with a distinctly Zanzibari twist as well as a a selection of wines, beers and soft drinks.


To get in or out depends on the tides: You will either have to swim or wait until the low tide, so you can walk in. Once you are inside, the owner a local fisherman will bring you the catch of the day from the grill to the table.

Stay Inside Batman’s Erotic Sexcave (3 pics)







The Batcave is where Batman goes to work, but when he want’sto play he goes to his Sexcave—which happens to be a room in the Eden erotic motel in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan. It features a Batmobilejutting out of the wall and a host of other Batman-themed decor.



The best part? This place rents by the hour, which meansthere's a low commitment factor if you're not, uh, satisfied. Second best part?Around the holidays, the motel gives away "lubrication, sexy lingerie andother perks." As of last year, rates ran about $50 for a three-hour block.

3FLOZ Airline Approved Beauty!


For all you frequent flyers and jet setters 3 FL OZ is what you've been waiting for! Besties Alexi & Kate started the website 3FLOZ.com to provide people with TSA approved products such as cosmetics and other essential toiletries a person usually packs when traveling. The name three fluid ounces is ingenious as it's straight to the point. You can shop for every product imaginable that you need knowing your getting just the right size that wont cause you any hassles or delays with airport security.

And I mean they have everything from toothpaste, hairspray, nail polish, facial cleansers and all assorted types of kits such as the Jet Setter Girls Kit pictured above. They even have celebrity favorite kits so you can travel like a superstar. It doesn't stop at beauty products because they also sell vitamins, supplements, first aid kits, baby products and grooming essential for men.

MEET ALEXI & KATE:
Kate wasn’t willing to give up her daily beauty regime and carried her full- sized beauty products everywhere she travelled. She couldn’t be bothered spending hours shopping multiple locations searching for the TSA approved size products. Alexi was willing to spend hours going store to store buying her beauty products in TSA approved sizes so she could carry on her luggage. In addition to her anxiety about lost luggage Alexi had a fear of commitment, so buying full sized products put her into a full panic; travel sized products were the perfect solution.Alexi stopped shopping for her TSA approved beauty products and started using Kate’s full- sized products when they were traveling together. This did not work for two reasons- Kate HATED sharing her beauty products and Alexi was SICK of waiting for her at the airport while she checked her luggage.They became friends while working together and bonded while traveling. As they traveled together they quickly realized that their travel styles were completely different. This caused major chaos at the airport.Alexi and Kate created 3floz.com, as a one stop shop for all of your favorite TSA friendly beauty products. Problems solved! They sell only their favorite brands, products they are passionate about or products they want you to fall in love with. They will ship to you or directly to your hotel, whichever makes your traveling easier.Even If you aren’t traveling but are curious and even if you can’t commit we are confident we have the product for you!



Not a jet setter? No problem because the convenient size products on the site is also a fabulous idea for those of you dying to try a certain brand but aren't ready to commit to the full size price. You can try it out for awhile and if the product is right for you it makes purchasing the bigger bottle a whole lot easier. After all the sites motto is:

"FOR THOSE WHO TRAVEL 
THOSE WHO ARE CURIOUS 
AND THOSE WHO CAN'T COMMIT"

3FLOZ also provides the convenient service of shipping your selected items straight to your hotel room if that is an easier option for you. I love this website it's such a fantastic and practical idea! Now all that's needed now is a ticket to paradise and I'm out of here! Stay beautiful! XOXO

Weird Restaurants Around The World






The  death  restaurant
Located in the Ukraine. The coffin shaped Death Restaurantcalled Eternity is the crazy idea of a funeral parlour in the town ofTruskavets. It is decorated following a death theme with wreaths and funeralmusic serenades you as you eat. Very morbid indeed!!



Click HERE to see  Cool Restaurants with Amazing Views 



The  modern toilet restaurant
Taiwan has a chain of restaurants called Modern Toilet thatare located around Asia. Sitting on a toilet and eating from a toilet shapedbowl…. Not a single chair in sight. I am actually speechless. I think this isdefinitely one for the ones with a much stronger stomach.








 
The  tree house restaurant
The tree house restaurant located near Warkworth northof Auckland was designed by Peter Eising of Pacific EnvironmentArchitects. The project was completed in 66 days, using only the Yellow Pagesas a resource. It opened in Jan 2009 but has limited opening times from Januaryto February. The restaurant is suspended 10 metres above the ground in agiant redwood tree. It offers the most fantastic views over the forest; butdon’t forget to bring a jumper as it is meant to be quite chilly on a evening brrrrr!!!The kitchens are at ground level, so the chefs will send food up on awinch. What better way to revisit your youth than to have dinner in a treehouse? A childhood fantasy come true….










 
The  sky  restaurant
A restaurant dangling from a crane in the sky. If heightsare an issue this is definitely not for you. The “restaurant” can be driven toany destination in the world for the bargain price of around £10,000. Makesure you don’t drop your fork! Why not turn an ordinary meal into anunforgettable meal?
