Strange Synchronicities

Sometimes we get the strange coincidences which make you wonder if your path was guided in some weird way or if somethings are fated ....

Coincidences Abound ....

..... for instance

Talk About Kitsch

The Chinese, are famous for architecturally taking as a challenge the expression if the mountain wont come to Mohammed, then Mohammed will have to go to the mountain .... an expression by the way, that originally comes from the Francis Bacon's 1625 essays, retelling the Turkish proverb of the time "..... Mahomet called the hill to come to him, again and again; and when the hill stood still, he was never a whit abashed, but said, If the hill will not come to Mahomet, Mahomet will go to the hill."

Will The Real Venice Please Stand Up ... one of these is fake

But in this case, I am referring to cities ..... famous tourist cities of the world such as Venice, or Paris etc. They simply copy all the good bits of these cities somewhere in China, and Chinese tourists can experience them all in one theme park day. Dalian, in north-east China is one such spot. There they have recreated a mini Venice, frescos and all .... with 2.5 miles of canals and over 200 copied buildings for tourists to experience the city by gondola.
