Tired of the same old routine when you travel? Feel like doing something totally different from what you normally do? Then why not check out the world’s weirdest hotels! Either you’ll have the time of your life, or you’ll be wanting to stick to the same old stuff.
Propeller Island City Lodge, Berlin
This lodge has 30 rooms in all, each of which is designed in the most unique – and weird – way possible. You can choose to stay in a room where furniture in bolted up in the ceiling, a room with a coffin for a bed, or a prison cell (ironically called Freedom Room!).
Hotel De Vrouwe Van Stavoren, The Netherlands
If you love wine, then this hotel is for you – your room is actually a giant wine cask! There are two narrow beds inside, and a tiny sitting area out where you can drink wine to your heart’s content; that is, if you don’t mind being cramped up inside the cask at night.
Jules’ Undersea Lodge, Key Largo
This used to be a marine lab and is totally submerged – 21 feet to be exact. So what else is weird about this lodge? To get to your quarters, you have to scuba dive. If you are certified, good for you. Otherwise, you’d have to take a course first. Oh yeah, and leave your gadgets behind, will ya?
Grand Daddy Hotel, Cape Town
You can take the girl out of the trailer park, but you can’t take the trailer park out of the girl…what has that got to do with this hotel? Oh, the penthouse is composed of seven Airstream trailers. Each room accommodates two people and is decorated with its own “playful” theme.
So what do you say, interested in doing something different? I think I’ll try wine cask room. You can’t go wrong with wine.

Shopping for groceries is one of the things my family looks forward to every weekend. We usually go grocery shopping at one of those really big supermarkets that have everything from sugar to televisions to sofa sets.

Like many young people, I never thought I would find myself facing serious credit card debt. In my early twenties, I told myself that I would never fall into any debt trap. I had heard so many horror stories, and I just knew I would not live out one of those.
Boy, was I [...]
The whole Duggar family is no stranger to the limelight. They have been featured on TV, magazines, newspapers and every member of the family is used to the coverage. Last year, Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar announced that they were expecting their 19th child. Naturally, they were once again exposed to publicity.

We’re right smack in the middle of the Winter Olympics. Have your kids gotten into the spirit of it all yet? It saddens me that today, some kids would rather play sports via the PlayStation (or any other gaming console) than actually go outdoors and kick some butt. With the Winter Olympics [...]
Every house has a first aid kit. That is basic knowledge. But do you have an emergency kit that will help keep you alive just in case you experience a natural disaster? At this point, many families in the Philippines are creating their own disaster emergency kits, if they haven’t got one [...]
