The Japanese Have Been Producing Wood For 700 Years Without Cutting Down Trees
In the 14th century, the extraordinary daisugi technique was born in Japan. Indeed, the daisugi provide that these trees will be planted for future generations and not be cut down but pruned as if they were giant bonsai trees; by applying this technique to cedars, the wood that can be obtained is uniform, straight and without knots, practically perfect for construction. A pruning as a rule of art that allows the tree to grow and germinate while using its wood, without ever cutting it down.
Extraordinary technique.(Quote from Mary Conceicao Coelho)

Patrick, who works as a surveyor in Colorado, recently went on a trip to Panama. He visited the Central American country this April to see the canal there.
"For most people, it's probably just like any other river or boat ride, but for me, it was very enjoyable as I am fascinated by engineering projects. It took about 8 hours to go through the canal from end to end," he shared his experience with Bored Panda.
"Along the way, there are many ships passing from countries all over the world," Patrick revealed to us that it was a wonderful adventure.

Never been across the bridge, but have flown over it many times landing at Kastrup. Also watched quite a good detective series in Danish/Swedish where someone was murdered and the body left right in the middle of the bridge. They must have spent hours on the name, as it was called The Bridge (Bron/Broen in Danish/Swedish). https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1733785/
Bored Panda also asked Patrick to share some of his traveling do's and don'ts with our readers. "I think the most important thing is to remember to have fun. No trip is ever going to be 100% perfect," he said that it's vital not to stress about every tiny detail being 'perfect.'
"There will be times where weather goes bad, places are closed, it's difficult to find good food, etc. This is all part of the experience. Enjoy your time because you'll miss it when you're back home," Patrick shared.
"Don't forget to have backup plans. Unexpected interruptions happen and you just have to adapt."

The social media project is all about showing off the great things that you might come across on your journeys, and it also shines the spotlight on the seriously impressive legacy left behind by ancient civilizations. Honestly, we’re itching to pack our bags, put on a pair of comfy sneakers, and rush off to absorb some culture. It’s a feast for the eyes and the soul.

We’re huge fans of travel and new experiences here at Bored Panda. However, at the same time, it’s important not to get over-hyped before your trip. Keeping realistic expectations of what you’ll likely experience will help you stay satisfied with your adventure, overall. Very recently, we spoke to one of the moderators helping run the multi-million-member r/travel subreddit.
They stressed that keeping our expectations low or having none of them at all will improve the trip, no matter what it is. Something else that can help you enjoy yourself more is putting in the effort and doing some more in-depth research about where you’re going, the history of the place, and the local culture and customs.

"For many people, learning the local culture, on a surface level or maybe more makes for a fun trip, for others sitting at an all-inclusive resort at the beach is ideal. How you enjoy your vacation is up to you. Thankfully, we're not all identical and boring as a result,” they explained that everyone travels for a different mix of reasons. Nobody should feel pressured to enjoy themselves a certain way. Travel is freedom.

A Team Of Archaeologists LED By Professor Kutalmış Görkay, Of The University Of Ankara In Turkey, Has Unearthed Three Ancient Greek Mosaics In The Turkish City Of Zeugma, Near The Border With Syria
Fun word fact: Zeugma is a Greek word which generically means 'to join' (the city is named for a pontoon bridge which links the land across the nearby Euphrates river). Today, 'zeugma' is used to describe a word which does double-duty in a sentence by affecting two subjects at once, usually with different definitions of that same word. For example, "The tiles and the archeologists were both floored by these ancient artisans."
One place that you might consider skipping is Hollywood. Oh, we might all think it’s full of glitz and glam, but the reality is nothing like what we see in the movies. It’s important to have a chat with some globe-trekking pals or locals to see whether a particular popular location lives up to the hype. The juice isn’t always worth the squeeze.

"There’s one popular, supposedly must-see attraction that’s way overhyped in Los Angeles, and that’s Hollywood. Everyone has heard of it and everyone wants to see it, but once you arrive in the real Hollywood, you’re sure to be disappointed," entertainment expert Mike Sington, from Los Angeles, shared with Bored Panda recently.
"It’s very crowded, and there’s hardly anything to see except the stars in the sidewalk. Once you do that, and you have to dodge the crowds to even navigate the sidewalks, that’s it. I’d suggest passing on Hollywood itself, and taking one of the professionally run studio tours all the major movie studios offer," he said that Hollywood isn’t as great as some tourists might expect.

Portuguese Royal Library - Located In Rio De Janeiro, Brazil
Well... it is not a Portuguese library. It's a Brazilian library, and as the speaking language in Brazil is Portuguese, there will be books written in Portuguese. But the library is Brazilian; from wikipedia: "is the depository of the bibliographic and documentary heritage of Brazil" .
"Because the city is often pictured in the movies and on television as some glamorous place, that’s often all that visitors are expecting. Sure, Los Angeles is beautiful and diverse, and the weather is spectacular, but keep in mind it’s a very big city, so it has all the problems and urban sprawl of most big cities," Mike shared.

- Runyon Canyon
- Santa Monica Beach
- The Grove
- Los Angeles County Museum of Art
- The Broad
- Universal Studios
- Walt Disney Concert Hall
- Academy Museum of Motion Pictures
- Beverly Hills
- Mulholland Drive,” Mike shared some of the must-see locations that are definitely worth a visit.

If anyone is wondering why it's "Le Gros Horloge" and not "La Grosse Horloge", it's due to the transition from latin to french. Horloge didn't get a gender in french for a while so using masculin (from the latin/greek word) was also accepted. Once the feminin was decided, Le Gros Horloge has kept its name.

Perhaps some more information on what we are looking at here. It's a siphonic aqueduct used to bring water from Islamar to Patara built by the Romans. Once mortared in place these blocks created a pipe that was capable of using substantial water pressure created as it flowed down a hill into a small valley to push the water back up the other side. A feat that would not be possible if the water was to lose pressure from a leak at the base of the hill. https://www.fethiyetimes.com/just-visting/35830-the-symphonic-aqueduct-at-delikkemer.html

These are oasis wells in the desert. There is mostly no other water source. So they are very careful to not contaminate it. Modern times have brought purification systems. Not at all. They would ofcourse pick out the body and these wells dont hold water all the time and are very carefully used. You would be surprised how desperate people in the desert can get for a gulp of water. Literally wars could be stopped by poisoning these wells. There is a lot of history where colonisers have poisoned these wells with arsenic to kill hoards of men women and children without batting an eyelash. Its hard to purify these wells, but it is done nonetheless.
We have so many advanced tools now, but where are things of beauty being created? I am amazed at the level of skill and creativity involved in some of the structures made in earlier centuries.
