Ultra-Sleek Hollywood Hills Home
All Along the Watchtower
If Marty McFly traveled back from the future and brought back tons of dough, I'm pretty sure he would purchase this triplex penthouse apartment in New York. Overlooking the the Brooklyn Bridge and New York Harbor, the "Clocktower" apartment is on the market for a cool $25 million, more than double the highest price known to have been paid for a home in Brooklyn.

Abandoned Tunnels Underground Wonders
Travel guides mostly do not mention these under ground wonders,
creepy tunnels and massive underground systems. Some of these tunnels
are only recently opened to public. Some are still impossible to enter
and very hard to explore. But this is where the “spirit of adventure”
comes in, as multitudes of amateur photographers descend into the
unknown to bring back evidence of things unseen.
Turda Salt mine is an old closed salt mine in Cluj Country Romania.
The closed mine has long tunnels, and a deep natural cave. The excavations dug a huge artificial cave, in which you could fit three 10-story blocks. Marius says: “you can play football inside of them; and you enter there by bus”.

Achilles Heel? The Well
The well was like that one weak spot on the Death Star; it was an
ultimate source of vulnerability. Sure there were dozens of ways to
pour sand and molten substances on oncoming aggressors, and the
structural soundness of the castle ensured impenetrability, but if the
well wasn’t properly-secured, or if it ran dry, the rest was very
useless. Invaders could very well poison the water supply, if left
unattended, and virtually guarantee defeat.
Eating Was the Primary Means of Entertainment
The castle was a very boring place. Essentially, all anyone did was
stick around making sure nobody touched their stuff. Outdoors,
recreational activities included hunting and a whole bunch of combat
training. Manly things indeed. Indoors however, it was much more
bleak. Chess was one of the few games that did exist in the day, but
the number one way to cure boredom was to eat (which people still do to
this day). There’d be great feasts full of food and drink (lots of
booze), jesters and minstrels. Nowadays, we have T.V. dinners and
six-packs. And you don’t need to be of high social standing to enjoy
those (and you usually aren’t).
