Did you know?

There are a lot of interesting countries around the world and a lot of
interesting things happen in those countries. Not all of us are able
to travel the world and experience what goes on in other countries but
that's why I'm here to give you some fun facts about other cultures.
Here on the futuristic blog we are starting a series of posts called
"did you know?" where we will tell you about things that go on around
the world that most people have no clue about. Enjoy!!!!





Did you know that in Venice, Italy it is illegal to drive cars around
the narrow city streets? The only way to travel around the city is by
boat or "Gondolas". Venice has many canals and "Gondoliers" will
transport you around the city through these tight narrow canals.
Speaking of Gondoliers, I bet you also didn't know that thousands of
men in Venice apply to be Gondoliers each year but only a handful are
chosen.

China has their great wall but did you know that in Australia there is
a sharp chain link fence that stretches for thousands of miles across
the country's interior? The fence was built to keep Australia's wild
dogs away from cattle. According to the statistics the wild dogs dogs
could maul up to 25 cows or other animals per night if allowed easy
access.

Did you know that instead of driving or taking a taxi in the rush hour
traffic, executives of companies in Sao Paulo, Brazil ride in
helicopters to work? Yes, in fact companies figure that it is worth
paying for their top executives to be flown to work instead of wasting
precious time in traffic because we all know that time is money.

Did you know that the Faneuil Hall marketplace in Boston,
Massachusetts is one of the most visited tourist attractions in the
world. With about 18 million visitors per year it was ranked number 7
on travelandleisure.com's list of most visited attractions. Faneuil
Hall has over 100 specialty shops and also great restaurants and bars.
It was the location of many speeches by America's founding fathers and
it also sits in the middle Boston's government center and financial
district making it a perfect place to see the past and present of the
historic city.
