boring cities

List of The Most Boring Cities in the World 




  • Westlock, Alberta, Canada. It’s basically just a few houses in the middle of nowhere. But nice. And there is a Tim Horton’s and an A&W, but the rest of it is home entertainment. I actually liked it so much at one point, I thought I might live there.
  • Pilgrimstad, Jämtland, Sweden. Yes, there is a brewery there, and a marina. Oh, and a holy spring, hence the name. But that’s it. Not even a convenience store. If you are stuck there, all you can do is sit by the lake, watch the boats, pray a bit, and think about all that beer in the brewery:
  • Heathrow Feltham, England. Really the only thing you can do there is wait for a flight out. And that’s what pretty much everyone does. The rest are probably saving up for it:
  • Middlemarch, Otago, New Zealand. Yes, they have a café. Other than that… just lots of quiet.
  • Munich, Germany. I know, I hear the masses cry out “Whhaaatt!?” But it is true. There is something unbelievably dead about Munich. It’s dead in a pretty way, but it still is. Not as in, “nothing going on,” because there is stuff going on there. It just doesn’t seem to have a soul. And yes, I would know. I grew up there.
  • Derby, England. You’d think a place with a name like that is worth visiting, but when you do… uh-oh. Nothing to see here, folks. Go to Nottingham.
  • Filadelfia, Chaco Boreal, Paraguay. While most of Paraguay gives you the thrill of easily falling prey to a mugging at knife point, Filadelfia is a comparably pious settlement dominated by German speaking Mennonites, where you can basically just sit and drink lemonade, and visit a museum with stuffed animals. You’re basically done there in 12 minutes.

Annara Mundu The medieval undergarments of women in Kerala, India

Image
Until about fifty years ago, most of the women of present-day Kerala in India used to wear undergarments called  onnara mundu  that literally translates to ‘one and a half a loincloth’. This was essentially a loincloth made of thinner cotton fabric and tied in a particular fashion. There used to be a little function for young girls on the threshold of puberty to move from a  konakam  or loincloth to the more sophisticated and feminine  onnara mundu . It was one of our rites of passage. The  onnara mundu  did for the waist what the corset did for the upper body for women in the West. The upper portion of the body was bare and so nobody really cared how ‘stuff’ grew :P All the focus was on the waist and downward. Hence the importance of the  onnara mundu.  It was tied very tightly around the growing waists of the girls to give them the trademark South Indian body shape as they grew older. But due to the fabric, it was very comfortable to wear a...

Who are The indigenous white Muslims?

THE WHITE MUSLIMS - A LARGE GROUP SIMPLY NEGLECTED Whites and Muslims are always 2 different groups in the eyes of many westerners. But there are close to 100-150 million white Muslims in the broader description of the white race. and even in the most conservative definition of "white", there are close to at least 40-50 Million Muslims. Chechen Muslim insurgents who fought against Russia for independence There are the obvious white Muslims who live in Europe or on the edge of the continent in countries like Bosnia, Albania, Kosovo, Bulgaria, Russia and Turkey. The Definition of the White race has always been in debate since the formation of USA. America Described "anyone with middle eastern, European or North African Descent as white"  The middle east obviously has people who could fit the visible test of being white but then there are also quite a number of middle easterners who clearly look nothing like white. But despite the American c...

Largest Snakes in History

Image
Largest Snakes in History Humans have an innate fear of snakes. Ophidiophobia is one of the most common phobias in the world, and studies have shown that most primates are genetically wired to detect snakes rapidly. Prehistory is writhing with snakes, but not just little ones - some were true giants. Everyone talks about  Titanoboa cerrejonensis.  I tend to refrain from writing about famous, popular fossil taxa, but it would be wrong to exclude it from this answer. So,  Titanoboa  was 12.8 metres long, a ton in weight, and commonly cited as the largest snake in history. To at least bring something new to the table, I should mention that  studies  have suggested that  Titanoboa  was more of a piscivore (fish-eater) than a megafauna-killer. Perhaps the snake was in fact a gentle giant? Before the discovery of  Titanoboa,  the title of largest snake went to a different species -  Gigantophis garstini . It lived about 20 million years a...
