Eiffel Tower nose

It's popular in China to have a nose shaped like the Eiffel Tower! Chinese people are paying around 7,500 euros to have their noses reshaped in the form of the famous Paris monument. One Chinese plastic surgeon says, "We are influenced by the beauty of the Eiffel Tower. We are not content to just add something to the nose, we reconstruct it"!

Long limo

You are looking at the world's longest car! It is a limousine with 26 wheels and has two driver's compartments-one at each end. It is very luxurious with a large Jacuzzi, a sun deck, a helipad and a swimming pool. The only problem is that it's illegal to drive this car...it is only used for exhibitions and films

A delicious dress

You might love chocolate, but would you like to wear chocolate clothes? This model is wearing a dress painted with 50 kg of chocolate. It took two weeks to make for a chocolate show in London last year. But wearing it is not easy: you have to keep cool or the dress melts!


25 May 2014. Happy feet!

On National Tap Dance Day in the USA, some dance schools send their dancers onto the streets to teach people how to tap dance. Tap dancing is a mix of African dances, English clog dancing and Irish stepdancing. But Americans insist that it's an American art form!

10-An internet forum


Hi
My name's Xènia Salellas and I live in South London. I like the area where I live, so I want to improve it.

In my opinion there isn't anywhere for young people to go. There aren't any facilities for them. As a result, young people spend all their time hanging around on the street. There are sometimes problems with the vandalism and graffiti.

I think the council should do something about this. I'm sure they must have some local place to use for a youth café.
