Wisteria Tunnel Japan
The aforementioned stunning photographs of interminable blooms are from the Wisteria Tunnel at Kawachi Fuji Gardens, in Kitakyushu, Japan. The blossoms look thick yet ethereal, hanging down in their slick columns of shade; the other photographs of blooming trees are probably from distinctive parts of the same arrangement.
A part of the pea family, wisteria is an elaborate vine, uncontrollably prominent in both Eastern and Western cultivates for its smooth hanging blooms and its fancy, winding limbs. Effortlessly prepared, the woody vines for the most part arrive at development inside a couple of years, at which indicate they sprout in falls of long, lavender blooms of differing pastel shades.
Make a point to visit in the Spring, throughout the "Fuji Matsuri," or "Wisteria Festival," when the mysterious tunnel is in full sprout. Touch base at whatever available time of year, and its manifestation will be a unsettling mass of dead, bent extensions.

Mont Saint Michel France from Paris
Country: France
Languages: French
Currencies: Euro (EUR)
Wonder type: Castle/Religious/Spiritual
France has an incredibly well connected and efficient train system, which makes taking the train in France almost always the fastest way to get around. In fact, because France is laced with a network of super high-speed trains called the TGV (Train à Grande Vitesse) it is often faster to take the train than to drive in France. Unfortunately, there is no direct train service to Mont Saint-Michel, but taking the train in combination with a bus is possible.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Since then, it has grown from a quiet backwater to one of the Middle East's most important economic centres.
Although each state - Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Ajman, Fujairah, Ras al Khaimah, Sharjah and Umm al Qaiwain - maintains a large degree of independence, the UAE is governed by a Supreme Council of Rulers made up of the seven emirs, who appoint the prime minister and the cabinet.
Before oil was discovered in the 1950s the UAE's economy was dependent on fishing and a declining pearl industry. But since 1962, when Abu Dhabi became the first of the emirates to begin exporting oil, the country's society and economy have been transformed.
The oil industry has attracted a large influx of foreign workers who, together with expatriates, now make up more than three quarters of the population.
But the UAE's authorities also tried to reduce its dependency on oil exports by diversifying the economy, creating booming business, tourism and construction sectors.
