I have no idea where this is, but I would definitely like to eat there when I visit China next time, unless their waitress goes 404 on me. (<- Geek talk of the week)
So if anyone knows the address, feel free to comment and I'll umm... give you free advertising on here or something... ;)
The Chinese says Diner if you are wonder.

The Longaberger Company is a manufacture of handmade maple wood baskets and other home and lifestyle items.
The company loves Medium Market Baskets, their best seller. They love it so much, they even put their office in one.
The corporate headquarters of Longaberger is a local landmark building shaped like a giant baskets. The original plan was to make every office building shaped like a basket. But only the headquarters was completed by the time Dave Longaberger, founder of the company, died.

The Kingdom of Morocco in North Africa is a nice place for vacation. It has nice beach, pretty cool people, excellent food, and most importantly, goats that climb trees.
Trees goats are mostly found in Morocco. These goats like argan fruit. They like it so much that they are willing to climb the trees to eat them. But because of the overgrazing by goats, argan trees are slowly disappearing. So now they have laws and protection areas setup to protect those trees. Sucks being a goat.

If you enjoy having fun in the dark, this restaurant is for you. It's a restaurant in Berlin. The waiters are all blind and the dining area is in complete darkness.
Before you sit down, you would order your food from a menu on the wall. Then you'll be guided to your table. Since there's no light, the waiters will explain to you where everything is on the table.
And since it's completely dark inside, I can't find any photo... so... no picture today!

It's a restaurant in Bangkok, Thailand. The place is run by Mechai Viravaidya, an active politician in Thailand who popularized condoms in the country.
Mechai Viravaidya's goal is to make contraception and condoms as accessible and accepted as... cabbages... To make his point, the restaurant is full of condoms hanging from ceilings, embedded in furniture, attached to lamps, and made into all kinds of other decors.
Condom is even on their menu: Yam Cabbages & Condoms. Don't worry, I don't think they put real condoms in your food (I hope). The restaurant also promotes safe sex by putting up educational posters everywhere (see last picture). Very informative...

Solvang is a tiny Danish town in central California. The town is full of 18th century Denmark style buildings with windmills.
If you enjoy Danish bakery, this is the place to go. The little village looking town is full shops selling ice cream and Danish bakery. There are also many Danish restaurants around if you plan to stay for dinner.
The place is usually full of tourists during the weekend, so go on weekdays if you can.

A local attraction in downtown San Luis Obispo, California, the gum alley is full of, umm... gums. It's a narrow alley way with gums covering the both side of the wall. If you extend your arms out, you'll be touching gum on both sides.
No one really knows how this started. There are few stories floating around and details are sketchy. But it started long time ago and some gums on the wall are over 40 years old.
Long story short, now everyone visiting the place sticks their gum on the wall, including me (main entrance side, 3 steps in, the white one).
On a totally unrelated and completely random note, we should all suggest Garry and Sachin to throw a Posterous party/con/expo in Vegas. Suggestion box is at the bottom of the HOME page!

Built originally as a cold war bomb shelter, the cave is now used as a luxurious hotel.
The Beckham Creek Cave hotel, built into the Ozark mountains, features natural rock walls, ceilings, and bathtubs.
For just $400 bucks a night, you can live like a rich caveman.

Located in the Old Town area of Edinburgh, Scotland, Mary King's Close is a series of subterranean streets hidden under the current town.
At Christmas 1645, plague arrived, bought by ships from Europe. Mary King's Close is where they quarantined plague victims. Hundreds died locked up in those streets.
Today, paranormal activities are high in the underground pass. Visitors often report feeling gentle tugging on their hands and legs.

Sonora witchcraft market is in Mexico City, Mexico. The market is full of cheap spells, exotic animals, frogs, wild birds, and weird looking statues.
Open daily, the market has stalls coving a few blocks. Everyone in the region goes there for "spiritual" stuff such as rattlesnake blood and dried humming bird. There are also bad-luck charms available for people you really hate.
Witchcraft is a big deal in Mexico. They have a National Association of Sorcerers, and it has a pretty good influence on residential elections. Kind of like the NRA here.
