For nine days of dirty fun, a quaint South Korean coastal city paints the town a dull shade of mud.
Boryeong says its mud has special powers to refresh the skin and soothe the soul. Last Saturday (July 12) saw the start of its 11th annual Mud Festival, which attracts about 2 million people to the city of a little more than 100,000 located about 190 km (120 miles) southwest of Seoul.
I want to learn Golf. The very elementary way is to buy the ‘Golf for Dummies’ from Amazon. But I always look for free resources on the net before making any purchase.
Golfnick has recently been busy helping to bring up the numbers of golfers into the world. He has been organising golf ‘Driving Range Gathering’ session in one of the club nearby my house. Hopefully I would join them one day, and really hope that I could golf together with Michelle Wie (Dreaming :p)…

“I’d love to come visit but I don’t have any money and Tokyo is so expensive…”

You can download some of the great wallpaper and also some history and uselful information about the tower on their official site.

The largest library in the world is The United States Library of Congress in Washington D.C. However this Library of Alexandria in Egypt was once the largest library in the world. The Bibliteoca Alexandria was believe to be founded at the beginning of the 3rd century BC. It was then destroyed during the Muslim conquest in 642AD, the books were burned to heat bathwater for the soldiers.
The idea of reviving the old library dates back to 1974, when a committee set up by the Alexandria University selected a plot of land for its new library, between the campus and the seafront, close to where the ancient library once stood.
