Despite its location in a marshy area, this 100 sq km tourist attraction quite
magically does not face a commonly associated issue. This is because of the
efficient surveillance system in regards to this issue.
The surveillance system mainly consists of carbon dioxide traps to make it seem
like humans breathing. Another aspect of this system is distribution of sentinel
chicken coops distributed along the borders of the area. The blood of the sentinel
chickens are analyzed now and then for certain antibodies and in case of
discovery of these antibodies, it also localizes to where the issue is arising from.

A particular Danish engineering firm had to shift some of their resources to a
location overseas to be mechanical consultants for a particular construction
project. However, their most famous contribution in this project turned out to be
an efficient seawater air conditioning system.
This was a result of the orthodox cooling chimney tower idea being ruled out as it
would have been bad for the aesthetics due to their cuboidal shape. The source
for the seawater comes from a harbour in the vicinity. The air conditioning
system had to be as efficient as possible due to perfectionist demands. One of
these demands was that the hall that served the main purpose of the structure
had to be maintained at 22.5 ºC so that the tunes do not go off track.
What was this air conditioning system designed for?

used this destination to its own advantage. However, the hotel manager Dario

rainy season and a common issue of corrosion of electrical wires and sockets.

In 2014, this resident of an island country started a tourism agency of his own.
One tour package that his agency offers is a nine day tour all around the country.
He is said to have been the guide for most of these tours.
This tour package is actually an allusion to a book written by his father that
accounted the father’s journey along the length of a whole continent. The tour
package has a capacity of only 20 people per batch due to the availability of only
about a dozen of certain entities, which in itself is the biggest allusion to the
book. The following slide has an image of the son being a guide on this tour.

king of this region built it to have his capital’s own version of a famous landmark
located on the east coast after being impressed seeing the beauty of this
landmark when he went there for fighting a war.
Although it is expected to show some movement, the locals in the region have a

“That Hug” (title translated) is a song by a certain Gilberto and was written at the
end of his term in a city’s prison to bidding adieu to this city. The song itself has
become an anthem of the city.
The song has numerous references to the people and culture of the city: the
crowded avenues in February and March, fans of a popular local football club (not
to be confused with a bird) and people from the slums being some of them.
Although the title refers to him hugging all the city’s residents as a sign of bidding
farewell, there is said to have been a hidden meaning behind the title relating it to
a particular aspect of the city’s highlight.

This group of professionals is 2000 strong and their task is one that is seasonal. A
lot of them get their highest incomes at about the beginning of every year.
However, the task that they complete is physically demanding due to the
fluctuating heights they are supposed to encounter along with bearing their
heavy loads in a short time and this takes a toll on their health eventually.
The most prevalent health problems they face are knee aches, joint aches and
spinal problems. Some have even had shoulder dislocations after long. One of
them named Sathyan says they all take painkillers after each trip and despite
their knowledge about it being bad for health, they all still want to do this task.
Who are these people?

Located very close to the border with Cambodia, this unique Buddhist shrine in
Thailand was built to solve a huge problem in the countryside which Buddhist
monks were tired of back in the mid 1980s. The authority of the shrine then
started asking for donations of whatever caused the problem for the construction
of the temple from local businesses and citizens.
The cost for the construction of the shrine was much lesser than usual because
there was exemption of painting and tiling costs which in turn is because of its
nature of construction.
What is unique about the shrine’s construction?

Capilla Sixtina en Mexico was a temporary structure that went on tour for
three years from 2016 to 2019, starting from Mexico City. This project is a life
sized replica of an extremely popular tourist destination across the Atlantic
and aims to provide the opportunity of experiencing the destination to those
who cannot afford this trip across the Atlantic.
To make this happen, 2.6 million photos of inch by inch size at the original
site had to be captured throughout 170 days after the approval of the
concerned authority. As a consequence of its public domain, one particular
prohibitory rule applied to the tourists in the premises of the original is

Certain two ports located about 200 kilometres apart is called by the title
“Marlboro territory” in the sailors’ lingo.
This is due to packs of Marlboro cigarettes being demanded as currency by
certain people at the ports so that the sailors do not face any issue to resume
their journey. The choice of currency is mainly because a pack of cigarettes is
very expensive in this region. It is said that sometime during April or May, dry
fruits are demanded more than Marlboro cigarettes by the same people.

This small aerodrome services only private chartered planes which are used for
tourists to look over a tourist site in the proximity and spot certain “flora and
fauna”. The airport is named after a German-born who was instrumental in their
discovery back in the mid 20th century.
The “flora and fauna” are said to have got their common distinct characteristics
due to the red pebbles, rich in iron oxide, removed to reveal the yellow-grey
subsoil beneath. Due to their habitat being dry and windless throughout the year,
they have not gone “extinct” for a long time.
What are these “flora and fauna” that I am talking about?
