14. The German town of Staufen is a beautiful European getaway spot with one caveat: it's literally cracking. The ground has been swelling since 2007 due to a botched drilling job. Experts have no idea how to stop the swelling, which continues to crack many of the buildings.
15. The Paperclip Cottage Cafe in Kipling, Saskatchewan, Canada, has an interesting story. In 2005, Kyle McDonald had a red paperclip, which he traded for a pen. He then traded the pen for a doorknob. These trades continued and got bigger and better: an espresso maker, a camping stove, tickets to the Canadian Rockies, and so on. After a year of making his first trade, he eventually got a two-story house. He traded the house to a restaurant owner, who converted it into a cafe, that celebrates McDonald's trade journey.
