North America

Summer is here, and the city is heating up with fun things to do. To help you get to the good stuff, we’ve picked the best things to do this week in L.A.

As the weeather gets warmer and the days get longer. people are naturally drawn to the beach. Lots of people take vacation specifically so they can visit the most beautiful beaches around the world. But the beach isn't only about catching rays and laying on a towel, it's about diving into mother nature's giant swimming pool. Here are some great destinations to do just that.

A Clown Motel could easily be one of the creepiest things you have ever seen. If you're deathly afraid of clowns or even just slightly creeped out by them, these motels are definitely not the best place for you to be. The place is in a small city in the state of Nevada in the United States, called Tonopah, Nevada. It is a very small motel called The Clown Motel, which doesn't sound very attractive to most people.  

Driving surrounded by bad drivers is the worst. You have to focus on your own driving and try to predict others' mistakes. In these two cities, you have to pay extra attention because the drivers are extremely bad. In these two cities there is the highest concentration of bad drivers in America.

Garden gnomes go missing all the time. It’s not an unusual phenomenon. Drunk fratboys steal them. Neighborhood children smash them. Sometimes they just get washed away in the rain. Maybe that’s why people don’t get too emotionally attached to garden gnomes. So when Bev York, a resident of British Columbia, noticed one of her gnomes was missing one morning, she just shrugged it off. Such is the fate of many garden gnomes. But this gnome’s story had a decidedly different ending. This gnome came back, and he had a fascinating tale to tell.

Even when we think we have seen it all, New York City never ceases to amaze us. We found a bar in NYC called Beauty Bar that serves customers drinks while they get their nails done. Customers recieve first class treatment and certified to have an unordinary salon experience! One way to keep the customers coming back is by treating them like they are royalty, that's for sure!

Sir Richard Branson’s private island paradise. This is a barefoot luxury in a setting that’s just about as exclusive as it gets. Necker Island is located in the Caribbean in the beautiful and unspoiled British Virgin Islands.

When most people envision a trip to the museum, they imagine that it will be stuffy and boring. The Glore Psychiatric Museum absolutely demolishes this stereotype with a varied collection of morbidly fascinating artifacts and displays.

Travelling for rich people has become even more fun at Los Angeles International Airport. There travelers can pay their way to a better airport experience using the Private Suite.  It is an ultra-VIP airport terminal for commercial flights. The annual membership fee costs $7,500, however it comes with an amazing service. There is a private suite stocked with snacks and a glam team for hair, makeup and nails while waiting for the plane. On top of that, there's a personal staff of 8 people for your needs. They take care of your luggage and drop you to the plane with a BMW. Just as if this wasn't enough, the annual membership also comes with the option of pre-flight massages.

We think of teachers tha we can look up to in case we need advice, or so that they can be another source of guidance in our lives. Teachers offer a kindness and perspective that not everyone can offer, including parents. Some teachers go above and beyond. This is the story of a very special English teacher. His name is Eric Jordan and he is from the Frederick Douglass Academy VII in Brownsville, Brooklyn. He wants to teach his students an important lesson and wants to do it by taking his students to Spain.
