In hindsight, it seems a bit silly to be surprised by the unexpected when traveling. After all, the entire point is to see and experience new things, otherwise, why spend all the time and money? So one should at least expect some amount of surprises and fortunately for all of us, these travelers made sure to document the unusual or unexpected things they encountered while traversing the globe.
So, wherever you are, get comfortable and prepare to scroll through all the memorable little things tourists and travelers have run into, upvote the experiences that caught you by surprise, and be sure to comment your own stories. And if some of the things listed here are pretty normal where you are from, let us know!

The Algerian Sahara By Night. With No Light Pollution, The Sky Is Truly Incredible

The closest I've come to experiencing relatively unpolluted night skies is camping in the Southwest, US.
Despite the dangers and discomfort, humans have been fascinated with travel for thousands of years. There are early Medieval examples from all over the world, while the earliest example is “Periplus of the Erythraean Sea,” which is a first-century text describing travel conditions, currents, and weather patterns throughout the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean.
Less a piece of literature, it was more like a guide for merchants who were looking to travel in these areas, though it seems likely that any merchant with half a brain would still need to hire captains and sailors with experience. Currently, it’s not even known who authored the text or if it even had one author, as there is the possibility that it functioned more like a collection of different people’s experiences.

Marco Polo is a more commonly known traveler, but he was not the only one of his contemporaries to write about his experiences. In China, one of Marco Polo’s many destinations, there were even writers who would make “day trip essays,” which would give readers some basic information about different locations that are, as the name suggests, a day’s travel away. However, these essays mainly focused on using the locations to provide some sort of moral lesson, which tells us that even a thousand years ago, people could not help from editorializing.

Indeed, in the 16th century, traveling to what at the time was Persia (mostly modern Iran) and the Indian subcontinent was so popular, that these accounts were often put together into collections, so interested readers could just buy one book and compare. There were similar collections for Europe, though it was seen as less exotic than Asia, and often focused on a single region, such as the Italian peninsula.

My Apartment For The Night In Porto, Portugal Has A Preserved 12th-Century Wall And Staircase Encased In The Bedroom
AR 2 years ago
When I was stationed in Naples, Italy, a new hospital was being built on the US Naval base. It’s a law that each new build has the site excavated first in case of ruins being there. An ancient Roman well and some other things were found, so it was incorporated into the hospital. Encased in glass too so you could look at it without any harm to it.

For some reason Dubai just never appealed to me. I have always be fascinated by other cultures, however, Dubai just seems like it places too much emphasis on glitz and glam. I could be totally wrong (which I often am), but I just get a strange lack of "culture" from the city. It just seems like everything is fabricated and straight from a movie set.

I understand things change but that's sort of sad in a way. Locally we have a very old theater with very ornate moldings / paintings / huge chandelier in the ceiling and so on. At one point it was on the chopping block but instead they managed to sell / restore it. Currently used for concerts / plays / sometimes movies / other performers like magic shows and acrobats. It is a mid-size town but is positioned between Seattle and Vancouver BC so it gets more big name acts than you would expect. And I've heard more than one professional performer say the acoustics are very good but I wouldn't really have a basis to say.

I'd be so enthralled by the beautiful view I'd forget to go when it turned green!

Certain Hasidic Jewish Sects Travel With Blindfolds To Prevent Young Men From Seeing Immodestly Clad Women
censorshipsucks 2 years ago
I like this. Even if you want to be a religious nutter, at least you are imposing it on yourself. Better than forcing women to wear excessively large and bulky clothing to fully cover their bodies and infringe on their autonomy. However, it still basically says that women are mere sex objects and young men have zero self-control, so it is STILL perpetuating grotesque patriarchal values. Speaking as a person with jewish family, so don't even come at me with antisemitism c**p.

Sorry but I call BS. Nobody is born religious. Religion is mythology and should not be forced on poor children. It should be illegal to teach lies to children when they are to young to understand or no better. Father Xmas is one thing, I don't like it but once the kids grow up they told the truth. Religion is lies lies lies lies.

Oh my... I'm straight, fertile, male. If you'd surround me with a huge number of women I find attractive, in every state of clothing and horniety - against their will, I would not even touch anyone's foot, let alone - all stepts inbetween - fugg her. Because I have a thing that is called "self control" and very much share the opinion of sexual intercourse requiring the agreement of each involved party (and agreeability, too, of course). I don't expect ANY punishment after death if I do or don't any to them. I'd expect secular punishment according to local habits, which range from all to nothing, to her or my damage - anyway, regardless of all that, I do have the ability to not do things just because they might feel nice. Why are religious men so incredibly weak? Why do they have no ability to constrain themselves at all? How come that the more they believe, the less they can decide on their own? How is it that anything sexual is always considered dirty, evil and all that, but the slightest hint of somebody else having a sufficiently equipped crotch costs them any will, any command over themselves, so that the other part, who didn't even agree on any, or was asked at all to begin with, has to disguise herselves into ugliety in order not to make them horny beyond control? Why are religious men so flawed, and why is it always that any-each-everybody else has to counter their boner, while it is NOT a problem to command them to pray endless hours every day? Can't they simply introduce the concept of mutual agreement into their so-called holy books?

People behind the windows must be pleased about that urinals placement

It is an art installation. The windows are not real, but video screens. (Not with a video of you urinating) The urine is collected to make energy.

It's a far better solution than peeing on the wall. A drunk man doesn't care about who see him while he's doing his business.

Bath In The Floor. Hull, UK

I'd be worried about people falling in when they're impaired or elderly

I actually might be able to get out of this (assuming I could get in in the first place.) I don't have the leg strength to step over the edge of a normal bath.

Wouldn't you have to use more leg strength to get out of this bath?

Hi, at least 15 of these pix are repeated twice, sometimes 3 times. I see this all too often on Bored Panda. Could someone please check out collections of items before posting to avoid these duplications?
