Hackesche Höfe, a busy and popular place to shop in Berlin, was designed in the early 18th century. It’s not a common site that tourists visit, however it is a bustling area for locals. The rich history of the area might be interesting to tourists so it’s my Europe travel tip for those who want an experience off the beaten path.

The Uffizi Gallery is located in Florence, Italy. It was commissioned to be built by Cosimo I de Medici in 1560. The architect, Giorgio Vasari, began construction on what was to be the offices of the Magistrates for Florence. This is how the Uffizi (offices) got its name. When Vasari passed away the work was continued by Bernardo Buontalenti and Alfonso Parigi. Following the designs which Vasari had made the building was completed in 1581.

We were pretty jazzed when Google Maps added public transit directions for various cities around the world. Some of us don't own cars (have you tried to park in Manhattan?) and we don't always bother renting one when we travel. So, you can imagine our joy now that Google Maps has also added biking directions.

Although less well known than Cognac, Armagnac is appreciated by brandy enthusiasts for its distinctive, rustic aromatic flavors.

Then they put a slime mold cell in the middle of the oat flakes and let it grow. As slime mold loves oat flakes, it soon started to spread and in some hours it had reached all of the flakes. As the time went by the slime mold erased “connections” between some small oat flakes and strengthen the connections between bigger and central flakes.
