You are squeezed between being serious manager and been wild at least once a year without being judged? Go on Burning Man in Black Rock Desert, annual gathering, and definitive unlike any other. Bring warm clothes because of freezing nights and food, drinks and camping supplies because there's no nothing, just you, your Burning Man buddies and a desert. That lifetime experience is just for the brave, and creative people.

This year art theme is “The Green Man”, or humanity relationship to nature. So, bring your installation, costume, make crazy vehicle, paint yourself or whatever, and for $280 spend some days like Mad Max.

Every day
Europe, Cyprus

Paphos Archaeological Park houses a number of attractions, including the House of Dionysos and the House of Theseus, both ruins of large Roman villas famous for their mosaics. If you are in Cyprus visit Paphos, a small town at the southwestern tips of Cyprus, between the coast and the Troodos Mountains. Paphos' sumptuous Roman mosaics are some of the finest in the world. It's worth to spend one afternoon surrounded by beauty from the ancient history. Especially, don't miss the particularly fine rendering of Theseus' fight with the Minotaur in the Labyrinth. After detour of park visit a Paphos Aphrodite Water Park - for fun.

Every day
Europe, Ireland

For those who like reading and have no peace until explore some new sources of treasures, Trinity College Library in Dublin is the largest library in Ireland, and also the one you we’ll miss if you are "booky" from all over the body. Trinity College Library is also a research library of international repute and it provides an information service to government departments, research and technical organizations, industrial and commercial bodies within Ireland. Trinity College Library is one of the most visited sites in Dublin, home to The Book of Kells, an illustrated copy of the Gospels in Latin dating back to 800AD. Spend some time surrounded with different type of books than you normally read in everyday's life. End in the end of the perfect day; treat yourself with good Irish coffee.

September 2 2007
Europe, London

In the organization of The Multiple Sclerosis Resource Centre and many other charities, on September 2, The Great British Duck Race takes place. This charity event includes 165,000 individually numbered rubber ducks "race" along a one kilometer stretch of the River Thames near the Hampton Court Palace. Ducks will be carried along the river by the natural current. At noon ducks will be released into river. First duck to cross the finish line will mean one lucky recipient will receive a 10,000 pounds cash prize!

There will also be another 30 superb prizes for the next 30 ducks to finish. To be part of the race you'll need to adopt a duck at 2 pounds sterling. Be there if you can because there's one more reason: winning a new World Record. The last World Record attempt was in 2001 and the Singapore Duck race won with 123,500 ducks so it’s all there for the taking. Very intense!

Every day/night
Europe, France

Before, we were talking about London. And where is a London there is a Paris. I don't know why, but these two cities always go together, hand-by-hand. We invited you to the charity event in London because you should help others every time you can. Since we are good, but you are the best, we lead you in nightlife in currently one of Paris' trendiest bars, Le Man Ray. This restaurant, located in an old movie theater, opened with a big bang eight years ago. Johnny Depp, John Malkovich, Sean Penn, and Mick Hucknall of Simply Red are the partners in the business.

The décor in Le Man Ray some people describes like pseudo-nouveau-Asian meets bordello deco. One thing is for sure: place is atmospheric, crowded, and with unique ambiance. For club night you will need 15 euros, but if you choose to eat in the restaurant first, it is free. Because of famous owners, expect to see some celebrities. Prices in Le Man Ray are high, but who cares. You won a duck race, didn't you?
