Haunted Transylvania
Transylvania has become a well-known name and everyone knew it was in Romania. This was due to the story of Dracula, to the stories of the actual so-called Dracula Vlad the Impaler and of course, due to all the Hollywood movies about the blood-sucking demon. However, if you think you'll visit Romania and travel to Transylvania to come face to face with the actual Dracula you might be disappointed. Instead, try roaming about Translyvania and you could meet up with plenty of ghostly apparitions and you might even get scared to death.

Delicious Caribbean Food
The lovely West Indies island of Barbados is sometimes also called "The Land Of the Flying Fish." The favorite local seafood to make the national dish called Coucou and Flying Fish is the delicious fish caught in the warm waters surrounding the island. These are foot-long fish, which "fly" over the water up to 200 ft. The fish is steamed and cooked with onions, lime juice, spices, and vegetables and all served on a bed of polenta-like cornmeal or fried and accompanied by a spicy sauce.

What resulted was a strong friendship between the guys and they showed that they were very talented not only musically but also with creative acting. The four guys were Davy Jones, Mickey Dolenz, Peter Tork and Mike Nesmith. They showed everyone that they could sing and wound up creating a musical style that became known as their very own.
