TOP 3 THE WEIRDEST ATTRACTIONS OF THE WORLD

1. ST. MARK’S SQUARE (VENICE, ITALY)

 Extremely beautiful St. Mark’s Square in Venice has a “reverse side”: hundreds of hungry pigeons, that are flying over the heads of tourists. Although the practice of selling food for birds was finished a few years ago, the probability of being “attacked” and “labeled”  by birds is very high. Some tourists evince a desire to feed them or hold them on their hands, forgetting a few important points:
1) pigeons are leaving their “souvenirs” on clothing or body without warning;
2) there is a ban on feeding pigeons  in Venice, which is provided to fairly substantial fines  for its  failure. This rule is to protect the city memorials from  pigeon droppings.

2. BLARNEY STONE (BLARNEY CASTLE, IRELAND)

According to the legend, the one, who will kiss the stone, which is located in the castle of Blarney, will acquire the gift of eloquence. Each year about 400 thousand people, that would like to speak beautifully from around the world, touch the stone with their lips, leaving billions of microbes. Except the fact, that it is unsanitary, you have know that it also takes a lot of physical effort to kiss it, because the stone is hanging over one’s head.

 3. GUM WALL (SEATTLE, WASHINGTON)

 Strange tradition has appeared in Seattle and led to the emergence of an extravagant and unhygienic memo – a brick wall near the local theater, completely covered with chewing gum. The tradition began in the 90-ies of the last century. After the “Herculean” efforts of the numerous visitors of the theater, that were trying to get rid of their gum while waiting in queue, the wall has turned to a field of gum. For some people it is a bright point of interest, but for others it has a completely repulsive appearance.
