Whenever I have some time I try to find out interesting websites which give absorbing and good reading material. Such websites refresh my memories because I have traveled quite a bit and seen plenty of places. So I choose websites which give as many mind-blowing facts and figures of places and things. Recently I came across one website in which I could glean a lot of information, exchange ideas and learn something. This website consists of blogs ranging from the wonders of the world to cute homes and strange facts.



Blog the Best begins by giving information of the seven wonders of the modern world selected through 90 million votes cast in 21 sites on the Internet. They include The Great Wall of China, Petra in Jordan, Statue of Christ in Brazil, Machu Picchu in Peru, Chichen Itza Pyramid, The Colosseum in Rome and the Taj Mahal in India. This Blog by Rosie includes the 7 wonders of the Ancient World, the 7 Wonders of Medieval Ages, 7 natural wonders selected by CNN, the 7 wonders of the Underwater World assembled by CEDAM International and the 7 wonders of the Industrial World featured by the BBC.

While going through the seven wonders, my mind went to the Colosseum in Rome where the ruins still stand in their glory. I imagined the Angel Falls with the water gushing down, white and frothy, with a lot of sound and cool sprays. I dreamt of climbing the Great Wall of China and walking on it. This is the only visible man made thing from the moon, I am told. Reading good blogs on a good website opens up the mind and explores new vistas.

A new scientific invention announced on a blog on this website talks of a shower which changes its color according to the temperature of the water flowing through it. Isn't that great? Trust an interesting website like www.blogthebest.com to inform the readers of this new invention. It would be so convenient to use this item. There would be no need to test he water, nor any fear of it being too hot or too cold before starting it. One look at the shower and one will know if it is suitable or not. There are other blogs on effectiveness of houses, whether they would be whether conducive or not.

Did you know that a 2,500 years old Greek Ship has been discovered lying on the sea bed off the Sicilian coast Italy? Isn't it amazing that the sea water has not spoilt this ship? That the artifacts can still be collected from this ship after all these years? It is certainly a well preserved wreck. Studies suggest that a storm might have created havoc and blown off this ship, tore a hole and sunk it to the bottom of the sea. What a pity! So many lives must have been lost.

A unique and really cool experience is on staying in the Ice Hotel which is created in the North of Sweden in the Arctic Circle region. This Ice Hotel is made out of the surrounding ice in the depth of winter and beautifully carved out. People come here and stay and probably have an 'exhilarating' experience. Come summer and it melts down into a puddle of water. The following year, history and story is repeated and a fresh new Ice Hotel is made for tourists to stay. Now, isn't that great?

Chef Hugh Fernlay-Whittingstall in his show called 'Hugh's Chicken Run' has changed the way of thinking of a whole lot of television watchers. In this show he has talked about chickens and their life. He has managed to convince thousands of people into buying free range eggs whose sales have risen by more than 50 % because of this show. He has done this to improve the quality of chickens and their welfare.
