Sweeps
I don’t know why more people don’t celebrate Sweeps. As far as I can tell Rochester is the only place which does celebrate Sweeps and honestly it ought to be a world wide event, though it might be best for each place to pick separate days.
Piazza San Marco
One of the most iconic thing about Venice, among all of its iconic features, is the Piazza San Marco. St. Marco’s Square for those of us who speak English.

Lost’s Favourite Restaurants

In Northern Ontario where I live the sun is barely coming out, and those of you who live in the the darker places of the world know what that means; a serious case of the winter blues.

Don’t Travel to go Soul Searching
There seems to be a common themes in the media, from movies to advertisements, that your soul searching should be done somewhere exotic, hard to get to, or with a significant spiritual history. I don’t know where they’ve gotten this idea, but whoever is perpetuating it needs to stop.
