On the Edge of Pulpit Rock
August 27, 2008
I’m getting vertigo just by looking at this. Preikestolen, known in English as Preacher’s Pulpit or Pulpit Rock, a 604 meters cliff in Norway is one of the best places in the country to get a view of the valley, Lysefjorden. The major attraction is the top of the cliff, a 25 by 25 meters square and flat surface, visited by thousands of tourists every year. Here’s how it looks from the top!
Skirt Wrestling in Bolivia
August 27, 2008
I often get sick of watching WWE and their steroid fighters, that fake almost the entire show. So let us head to a new wrestling craze that’s sweeping Bolivia, South America and hopefully making its way to other continents. The Bolivian version of the American wrestling, known as cholitas luchadoras, is a freestyle wrestling that provides some distraction from the daily routine for just $1. Cholita is a term used to refer to the indigenous women in shiny skirts, filigreed jewelry and bowler hats. So here’s a show worthy of American television.

The Snake Taming Festival
August 25, 2008
Every year, people come from all over India to pay homage to the goddess of the snakes, Manasha, daughter of lord Shiva. Created to celebrate the mighty goddess, the Jhapan festival in Bishanupur is a freaky round-up of some of the best snake tamers in all the land. Each artists brings its assistants and sets camp on the street. He then starts charming the snake which leaves the box he was in slowly. He starts touching the snake, juggling with it and even kissing it. Surprinsingly, the snake never strikes. So here’s how the bunch of snake tamers look like!

In another desperate attempt to get people to notice him, this guy here finds an innovative, one of a kind haircut. So if he ever wants to switch off, he found the perfect way to do it. It’s not exactly my idea of setting yourself apart from the crowd, but it won’t go unnoticed.
