#Berlin
This is one of the most fun, lively and cozy cities in Europe. Young people are drawn to local clubs, where the most fashionable parties are held, new styles, movements, subcultures are born. Older people respect shopping in Berlin — the number and quality of local shopping centers is famous all over the continent. And the prices, by the way, are considered very, very nice.
Berlin has 12 districts-important administrative divisions that can boast their own local government and even a Mayor. Unlike many other cities, where everything "delicious" is located in the center, Berlin is completely interesting. Which is not surprising: after the significant destruction left by the Second world war, and the division of the city by the wall into two countries

An interesting feature — the height of disrespect among Filipinos is considered to be the use of chewing gum. On the street, chewing it is simply unacceptable, it is sure to cause a storm of indignation among interlocutors and passers-by.
The Philippines is a very multi-faceted country, with both natural beauty and man-made attractions left for us by the Spanish conquistadors or the Americans, or even the Filipinos themselves

#Russia, Leningrad region
Osinovetsky lighthouse, which today is a favorite vacation spot for St. Petersburg residents, was a guiding star for the besieged Leningrad a little more than half a century ago.
It has been more than a hundred years since it first illuminated the surrounding territories with its light. Forty kilometers away, you can see the radiance that comes from this stone giant. The lighthouse rises 74 meters above sea level. The highest point is reached by a spiral staircase. The number of steps is equal to the number of days in a leap year — 366 of them. During its long history, the walls of the lighthouse were covered with mold, but to this day, the 500-watt lamp at the top sends signals from April to November every four seconds.

#Bahamas, "a piano under water"
Off the coast of Rudder Cut Cay, divers can find a life-size sculpture of a mermaid resting on the sandy ocean floor. Undine is positioned near the piano bench, as if beckoning divers to sit down and play her a tune.
The stainless steel sculpture is hidden at a depth of 3-5 m, and it can be difficult to detect when the current lifts the sand from the bottom and the water becomes cloudy. These circumstances make detecting a composition on a clear day even more magical. Diving enthusiasts who can hold their breath long enough to dive like to swim around and sit on a bench, imitating their belonging to this underwater world.

#Africa
While most countries in Africa remain in quarantine, the cycles of nature remain the same.
The sun is still rising, the antelopes are still out grazing, and the lions are still hunting. Elephants roam in their routes of migration, hippos grunt in the river and birds singing songs.
Maybe it's a good thing that nature got a little respite from tourists. The more interesting it is to come to Africa and become a pioneer again! Traveling to Africa is the best way to replenish your energy reserves, restore your mental balance, and relax your body and soul. In the world of digital technologies, where information is overwhelming, Africa provides a connection with nature, the need for which is acutely felt in modern megacities.

In the Pacific ocean, there is a conditional point that is farthest from any land. The closest to the earth is at a distance of 2688 km. This place is also called the pole of inaccessibility. The next "pieces" of land is the uninhabited Ducie atoll, Motu Nui island and the island of Maher.
The point got its name thanks to the hero of the novel by Jules Verne "20 thousand leagues under the sea". It
is interesting that the orbit of the International space station can pass over the Nemo point, so sometimes the nearest populated place is about 400 km away, but not on Earth, but in space.
