It may be the year 2010 now, but surely some type of hover vehicle should be invented by Japan or some other technologically advanced place by 2015. If Back to the Future Part II is anything to go by, in the next five years people will be traveling on hoverboards rather than walking or cycling. How hard is it really to create little hover jets that attach underneath a normal skateboard? If NASA can send a space shuttle weighing 1,650,000 pounds into space, surely they can design a board to hold a human weighing 180 pounds a few inches above ...

Rockefeller Centre
The Rockefeller Centre has, in my opinion, the best view of New York City. It is better than the Empire State Building because although it is smaller it provides a view of the Empire State in the backdrop of the city. New York City is exposed at its best here as you are able to capture the true atmosphere of the tall skyscrapers that lean over the ant-sized people walking around. On a clear day it is also possible to view the Statue of Liberty, Coney Island and other attractions.
Museum of Modern Art
The Museum of Modern Art has held ...

FOR: There is the view that musical festivals are worth the money that consumers pay. The cost can be seen as good value if you take into account the amount of bands you get to see, some of which only play stadiums and may ask for even more than they do for a single ticket at a four-day music event.
FOR: When you go to a musical festival, it provides a great opportunity to see your favourite bands in one place. It also allows festival goers to discover new bands that they may like alongside the more established ones. You may ...

Hamper
This is a no brainer: how else are you going to carry food? You may not want to lug around a big ol’ hamper, so wooden crates - the kind fresh fruit and vegetables are carried in - can be a great alternative, as well as a cheaper one. Most hampers provide nice spaces for plates, forks, knives and spoons. Traditionally made from woven wood and twine, this helps keep them light yet very sturdy.
Cooler Box
Ice packs are also handy to keep drinks and any food that may go bad in warm weather, such as seafood, if you plan to ...

Tent
Having a reliable tent can make the difference between a enjoyable camping trip or a disastrous one. When buying your tent you have to take into account that the size will affect the price - a tent designed for say one or two people will be significantly cheaper than a tent designed for four to six people. When looking for a tent take into consideration the types of weather you will use the tent in, tents range from one- to four-season, some are only suited to particular weather conditions, some are suited for all weather conditions. Buying a tent with ...

I am also sure they do not come close to the top ten restaurants in the world as decided on an annual basis by the food critics, restaurateurs, gourmands and celebrated chefs who vote in the S. Pellegrino World's 50 Best Restaurants poll. This year's winners have just been announced.
Climbing two places to the top of the list this year us Noma in Denmark. It was the Chef's Choice last year. Led by chef Rene, this Copenhagen restaurant has catapulted into a ...

People travel from around the globe to experience the Olympics every four years. A few citizens have the opportunity to experience that thrill in their own back yard. The Summer Olympics make their way to London in 2012 and thousands of residents are registering for a chance to purchase tickets to the many different venues.
The host country at any Olympics tries to build the home court advantage. Offering tickets to locals may be the best way to stack the deck in the favor of that home team. Having the ability to fill the stands with the home country supporters might ...
