50 Mildly Interesting Experiences Tourists Had While Visiting Other Countries (New Pics)

Love this, it's explaining what the place looked like, rather than just a pile of stones!

I've seen these in Greece a lot.

We have this place in the Netherlands called the Luchtkasteel. Literally "the air castle". It's a field where the castle used to be and a frame you can look through to see what it looked like. It's pretty cool. They also have these signs for places Vincent Van Gogh painted to show the aspect of the painting.

"how they looked" or "what they looked like"

L.A. Harbor (Terminal Island) has a similar one with an etched glass panel showing what the old Japanese fishing village looked like before it was raided and then razed after Pearl Harbor. It's a perfect way to honor the gone past.

This is my favourite by far!

This is cool, even if i didnt need to charge my phone i would use it to pass time waiting on my train if they were empty

I wonder how long it takes for a full charge

We should add this to houses for kids

Awesomesauce

I only want to know the purpose of the cross boards nailed to bottom of posts. . .?

>_<

🤣🤣🤣

That is hilarious.

My local dog park in Queensland Australia has a 'stick library' and a 'tennis ball library' which regular park users contribute to.

I love this! "The Canine Collection" is such a brilliant name for it.

And a very handsome water bowl

Someone in my neighborhood has a Little Free Library for people and a Little Free Stick library for dogs. "Take a stick. Leave a stick." Our Roxanne doesn't quite get the "leave a stick" part.

In America, I've seen this same thing. The scissors stay. Some have a jar for people to donate what they want, and the money has stayed there. America is a big place and it's not all the same.

That is so nice!

We had a house in Tukwila, WA with a bus stop right in front (handy when you have teenagers). There was a large patch of dirt between our fence and the sidewalk, about 6' x 18', so I densely planted wildflowers. I made a wooden sign that said "Please pick the flowers, but don't be greedy". I saw one little neighbor boy, I'm talking like 5, out there trying to pick some Bachelor Buttons, but they have really tough stems. I came out with some scissors and asked if he'd like some help. He shyly asked if it was okay to make a bookate (his word) for his Mom because it was her birthday. We picked a lovely "bookate" and I even tied some ribbon around the stems, I knew he only lived about 5 houses away, but wasn't too trusting of a 5 year old with a glass container. His Mom came by a few hours later to thank me. Turns out the kid was on the spectrum and this was a HUGE deal for both of them. It takes so little to be kind, folks. Let's all try to remember that.

We do that every year. No cost. Just enjoy.

Where is this? Can I add that to my graden too?

Where? That's so cool

Great idea. I agree------can we put this into our own front walks?

This is a terrific idea! What does it look like at nite from a little bit of distance? Where IS this?

"Let sleeping seals lie", going to be my new mantra.

I thought it was an American tourist passed out drunk.
