Everybody’s Talking Race to rent: When a vacant suite in an apartment building in Berlin, Germany, went on the market, the response was an indication of the housing shortage in that city: almost 1,800 hopeful renters lined up at the building to view the flat. People were interested because of the reasonable price of the two-room accommodation. Rolf Harms, the property manager, had to use a megaphone to dole out instructions and then 20 to 30 people were allowed in at the same time. In that country, similar apartment shortages are common in other large cities, such as Hamburg, Munich and Frankfurt.

Urban park: Xixi National Wetland Park is in Hangzhou, in China's Zhejiang Province. The unique park combines farming, culture and urban life and is an area of tranquility with waterways to explore, as well as trails and boardwalks. Visitors can book a tour via the land route or the water route. Interesting sites in the park include plum trees and reed flowers as well as the port of the Dragon Boat Festival. As the paths are unmarked and complex, visitors are advised to be careful not to get lost. Rustic ramblings: Travellers to South America who want to go somewhere off the beaten track could try visiting Cabo Polonio in Uruguay. Located on the Atlantic coast and only a few hours from luxurious beach resorts, this isolated village attracts those who don't care about the comforts of a modern home. There is no electricity or running water in the rustic cottages, and only a few people with generators have Wi-Fi. But the people who live there like it that way. Villagers use well or rainwater, and they cook by candlelight. The land is a designated national park and is a beloved destination of backpackers. New friend: A man on a hike to raise money for men's health found a new friend along the way. Max Adams was on a long trek in an area near High Prairie in Alberta, Canada. When on a side road, he could hear a loud meowing which turned out to be a half-grown kitten sitting in the snowy branches of a tree. Adams took the desperate little feline with him because he couldn't imagine leaving it such a long distance away from any homes. He tried to find the owner, to no avail. After the kitten was tended by a vet, Adams took it home as his own pet.

Did you know? Swirling water: When two currents meet in a body of water, an area of swirling water called a whirlpool can form. The Corryvreckan whirlpool, between Jura and Scarba islands off the west coast of Scotland, is large and very dangerous to navigators. Green versus black: Black tea and green tea come from the same plant. The difference is in the processing: black tea is fermented, and green tea is not. One tongue: Australia does not have an official language. However, over three quarters of Australians are unilingual English speakers. Among the 160 languages spoken in Australia are Mandarin, Punjabi, and Filipino/Tagalog.

Beary good plant: The bearberry shrub, also known as kinnickinnick, grows on sandy or gravel ground throughout Canada. It is a good ground cover that helps prevent soil erosion. Seven times: The fifth James Bond film, You Only Live Twice (1968), starred Sean Connery, supposedly in his last appearance as Bond. However, he came back for Diamonds are Forever (1971) and the unofficial Never Say Never Again (1983).
