The mistery behind a viral email unveiled
The hardest hike ever! There’s an e-mail floating around of a mountaintop teahouse somewhere in China. The amazing thing is how one gets to the teahouse. First by tram, then by a series of planks on the side of a mountain, steps cut into rock, and chain to hold onto. It looks absolutely amazing, but I can’t figure out if it’s real. Have you received this e-mail, have you ever seen this pace, or even know the name of it?
12 Things to do with Coca Cola

The best time
First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us and lived in houses made of asbestos. They took aspirin, ate blue cheese, raw egg products, loads of bacon and processed meat, tuna from a can, and didn’t get tested for diabetes or cervical cancer. Then after that trauma, our baby cots were covered with bright colored lead-based paints. We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets or shoes, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking. As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags. We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.
