Wild Wacky Whims

Forget logic and intellect for a change. Find freedom by rewinding to an inhibition-free naiveté. Try something weird and wonderful, bold and bizarre, crazy and kiddish or funny and frivolous. Alternative games? Horror night? Skinny dip? How close to insanity do you want to get?

Turkmenistan
Peek into the Gate to Hell in Turkmenistan
Burning continuously since 1971, this gargantuan flaming oven in the earth is a sight to see live, not on video. Stand at a safe distance to visualise the scene of this original natural gas field collapsing into a cavern and being set on fire by geologists to prevent the spread of methane gas.
Japan
World's steepest roller coaster in Japan
Head to the Fuji-Q Highland Amusement Park in Yamanashi, Japan for the world's steepest steel roller coaster. Opening at a free fall of 121 degrees, you’ll battle seven twists and an almost vertical free fall drop of 43 meters. Thrills and chills all the topsyturvy way.
Thailand
Meet the Giraffe Women of Thailand
Acquaint yourself with beauty standards of Thailand’s Karen tribe women. Know why girls start wearing elaborate brass coils around their neck at as young as five of age and keep adding more rings over time to stretch the neck longer. Its a show of elegance and beauty. Now that’s what you call a real choker.
Indonesia
Drink super expensive coffee made from cat poo
Taste the Kopi Luwak Coffee made from coffee beans eaten and digested by the Asian Palm Civet of Indonesia. The coffee beans are then extracted from the Civet poo, washed well and lightly roasted to make the most expensive cup of coffee in the world. Can you and will you order one?
Israel
Attempt a snake massage in Israel
Imagine half dozen or so snakes slithering up and down your back, and warming up as they adjust to your body temperature, weaving them through your toes, being braiding so they stay in a single place for longer. A creepy, shivery and extremely specialised form of Israeli massage. Is it your poison?
