Vancouver: Never before have I been in a city that was as able and eager to strike up a conversation.
the waitomo caves of new zealand’s northern island, formed two million years ago from the surrounding limestone bedrock, are home to an endemic species of bioluminescent fungus gnat (arachnocampa luminosa, or glow worm fly) who in their larval stage produce silk threads from which to hang and, using a blue light emitted from a modified excretory organ in their tails, lure in prey who then become ensnared in sticky droplets of mucus.

Space isn’t easy to come by in urban areas, so one London flat owner decided to maximize the small space they have by creating a suspended bedroom. Rather than deal with a pull-out sofa, they decided to use some of their air space by hanging their bed from the ceiling. The sleeping area even includes a large skylight and walk out to the 500 sq ft roof top garden, so there’s no way you can feel claustrophobic.
