Miniatur Wunderland Hamburg – Talk About Attention To Detail
In May 2011, the Knuffingen Airport at the Miniatur Wunderland (German for Miniature Wonderland) was completed and is currently the world’s largest model airport. But the airport is only part of the Wonderland attraction. The exhibit started as a model railway attraction in Hamburg, Germany and is the largest of its kind in the world.
The model railway consists of seven sections: Harz (fictitious city of Knuffingen), Hamburg, Scandinavia, Switzerland, the Alps and Austria, and America. The model railway takes up approximately 1,150 m2 of floor space. Each section has unique landscapes and the railway exhibit showcases details that the specific regions are known for in the real world. For example, the ‘America’ section has highlights such as Las Vegas with over 30,000 lights, the Grand Canyon, Rocky Mountains, Area 51, Miami, the Everglades, and so on. When you watch the promotional video below, you will also find funny interactive scenes such as people having sex in a van or a not so funny scene such the police investigating a crime scene.
Mexico, Beyond the Border and the Hype: Adventure Travel in Veracruz
Mexico is not getting the best press right now. We all know this. As a result, fewer of us Americans are going there, outside of the college kids and honeymooners heading straight for the American colony of Cancun. But the truth is that the bad news out of Mexico is close to the border and in isolated cities. That’s why I headed to Mexico, one, because there is a whole other Mexico that is beautiful and safe and a great setting for adventure, and two, because Mexico tourist bureaus are willing to send “journalists” like me on trips to prove it.
I arrived in Veracruz, Mexico, after a short connection in Dallas where I tried airport Texas barbecue, which turns out, is
Journey to the Present at Panama’s Embera Indian Village
The Embera Indian Village outside of Panama City is not a historical recreation. It’s not Panama’s answer to Jamestown or Plymouth Colony. There is no modern visitor center or actors dressed in traditional garb and refusing to break character for eight bucks an hour. Despite the fact that there are tours, and the Embera people are friendly, hospitable, and happy to share their traditions and culture with outsiders, the Embera Indian Village is a real village, and a real home to the Embera people that live there.

The Ultimate Knife – Gerber’s Bear Grylls Surival Series
Ever since I was a child, I’ve been interested in knives and anything even vaguely hunting or military related.
I don’t know why exactly; I’ve never needed to hunt for my food (I have a supermarket for that), and outside of computer games, I’ve never had to defend myself using a knife. So why bother owning a survival knife? Well, if nothing else, I think there’s something manly and primal about owning a blade; especially one called The Ultimate Knife. If we face an apocalypse, at least I can take comfort in owning a knife that not only has a sharp edge, but also an obnoxiously loud whistle to annoy my attackers into submission.
The Ultimate Knife, made as a collaborative piece between Gerber and Bear Grylls, is a no frills survival knife that sports a sharp high carbon stainless steel blade, Ferrocerium rod fire starter, and (as previously mentioned) an obnoxiously loud “emergency whistle”, which I’ve personally tested out during a game of beer pong to great effect.
