I really like the idea of compiling the best articles around the web and I hope there would be some nice travel articles as well. I am participating in this train, join me.

*** Beginning of Great Blog Post ***

Life is Colourful has started a great blog posts train, that would help to compile some of the best articles around the web giving due respect to the blog post author.

Rule 1: Write a short blurb on this unique idea of giving due respect to great blog posts you like from your favorite bloggers.

Rule 2: Copy the content from “Beginning of Great Blog Post” upto “End of Great Blog Post” and paste it in your blog post

Rule 3: The line you add should comprise of “your site name” likes “your favorite great blog post from other blog than yours”. For example: Life is Colourful likes Auto article on Difference between all wheel drive and four wheel drive

Rule 4: Your favorite blog post must be from another blog you like and not from your own domain. The blog post should be worth reading and you imagine, other bloggers would laugh at your taste.

Rule 5: Make sure you contact the bloggers and insist they participate so they can keep this going.

Rule 6: Come back to the original post and comment or contact us, so we can add your line in our post increasing your backlinks and technorati authority.

*** End of Great Blog Post ***

You might have heard about the strange Giraffe and Manor hotel in Kenya before on this blog. Now there is one more to add to the list.

Artist Andreas Strauss designed Das Park Hotel to be an elegant exercise in simplicity and recycling. His work consists of three unadorned, 10-ton segments of drainage pipe, each 6.5 feet in diameter and barely long enough to accommodate a double bed.

Strauss punched the pipes with skylights, added doors with electronic locks, and then laid the trio artfully in the grass by the Danube River, in Ottensheim, Austria. Amenities are skimpy, as you might expect: You get a lamp, a mattress, and a few sleeping bags.

On the positive side, the hotel has no fixed rates. You leave whatever amount you think is fair.
