Everybody’s Talking Sales gimmick: Alexander Kainov, the owner of a threebedroom apartment in Chelyabinsk in western Russia, wanted to sell his abode but was having trouble attracting interested buyers. So he tried a gimmick: he posted a photo on social media showing the famous American movie director, Quentin Tarantino (Reservoir Dogs, Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood), in the apartment. But it wasn't the real Tarantino, just a cardboard cutout. While a buyer didn't come out of the woodwork, Kainov's post went viral, and he hopes the attention will eventually attract some offers. Beach bound: A beautiful beach in Australia was once a banana grove. In the 1930s, the Watego family set up operations on what is now Watego Beach, located on the country's most easterly point at Byron Bay. This white sand paradise is a quieter alternative to Australia's busy beach resorts. It has picnic tables and barbecues available for those who want to cook a lunch. Surfers, swimmers and sunbathers love this spot. When they get tired of the sand they can take a walk up the path to Cape Byron Lighthouse which was built in 1901 and overlooks Byron Bay.

Colourful town: The town of Guatapé, Antioquia, Colombia, is said to be the most colourful in the country. That's because everyone decorates their homes and businesses with brightly coloured paint in many different designs. A home might have a background of red with orange and green flowers, while a bakery might have images of bread loaves. Known as zocalos, these paintings can even tell a story of a journey or a historical figure. Guatapé is located 82km east of the big city of Medellín and is a tourist attraction for both Colombians and visitors. Illegal bean: A bean that is native to South America is illegal in the United States. It's called the tonka bean and is known for its many scents. Looking a bit like a raisin, the tonka bean smells like a combination of vanilla, cherry, almond and cinnamon. The bean's shavings are used in such things as ice cream, beverages and pastries. The ban in the United States stems from the fact that the bean contains coumarin which can cause health problems. However, aficionados say it would take a large amount of beans to cause a problem. Cooks around the world use a small amount in a variety of dishes.

Ouch! Most people occasionally get canker sores, also called aphthous ulcers, somewhere in their mouth. They are not contagious, and the exact cause isn't known. Fortunately, they usually go away on their own within a few days. Sweet and good: Cannoli is an Italian dessert. A fried, tubeshaped pastry is filled with sweetened ricotta cheese. There are many variations with additions such as chocolate chips, almonds, or candied fruit.
