My grandfather often took me to school in the mornings when I was a little girl. We usually left earlier and stopped by a bakery near my school. He ordered cakes and milk for me while choosing a cup of black coffee with filter for him. When eating my food, I loved counting the drops of coffee falling down through the filter, wondering how they tasted. Once, when my grandfather was buying a magazine, I surreptitiously dipped a finger in the cup of coffee. Bitter! It was the first time I tasted it and couldn’t understand why the drink that many adults love was so bitter. That time I felt like I would never like coffee.

De Glace Ice Hotel - Not cold in the ice<br />

Winter lovers have flocked to De Glace Ice Hotel in Quebec, Canada for<br />

15 years. Welcoming guests from January to March, this is the only hotel<br />

completely built from ice.<br />

As its main construction material is ice, it is also the only hotel that is rebuilt<br />

once a year. Designed by skillful professional sculptors, each room features a<br />

distinctive theme. The temperature inside the hotel is about -4 degrees C, but<br />

don’t worry as you’ll be equipped with a blanket and arctic style sleeping bag.<br />

Moreover, each premium room has a gas heater to keep guests warm in “the<br />

ice castle”. Price: about USD200/night.<br />

Watch the<br />

Northern Lights at<br />

Kakslauttanen Arctic<br />

Resort<br />

The northern lights are<br />

created when electrically<br />

charged particles from<br />

solar winds enter and<br />

interact with the Earth’s<br />

atmosphere. Every astronomy<br />

lover has a desire to see these<br />

lights continuously dancing in<br />

the sky. However, few people<br />

are patient and lucky enough to<br />

catch these moments.<br />

This is also the reason why<br />

Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort<br />

was set up in Saariselkä Village<br />

(Finland). Its 20 glass tents<br />

allow you to contemplate the<br />

dances of light while relaxing<br />

in your comfortable bed.<br />

From August to April the<br />

following year is the best time<br />

for visit this area. Although<br />

the temperature could be<br />

-40F outside, the glass tent<br />

can keep you warm during<br />

the unforgettable experience<br />

of watching this magnificent<br />

phenomenon.<br />

At daytime, you can drive a<br />

snowmobile, go ice fishing or<br />

reindeer skiing like the Finns.<br />

A night in a glass tent costs<br />

450 to 600 USD.<br />

You see, the colorful life gives you thousands choices of accommodation, so just choose the right<br />

place based on your preference and life-style. Travellive can lengthen this list with such places<br />

as Attrap'Rves Family Hotel in France where you can watch the stars through transparent balls and<br />

telescopes. A Bolivian hotel built by salt and is good for blood circulation. A hotel in Kenya where<br />

giraffes happily frolick around or poke their heads into your room for food, and more. However, only<br />

you know best what your wishes are and what you expect during your stays. Type the name of your<br />

destination on www.unusualhotelsoftheworld.com and see which one is for you!<br />
