New York City 4K - Queens - Sunset Drive
Queens in New York City is the most ethnically diverse urban area in the world. If each of New York City's boroughs were an independent city, Queens also would be the nation's fourth most populous, after Los Angeles in California, Chicago in Illinois and Brooklyn.
Queens is the easternmost and largest in area of the five boroughs of New York City. It is geographically adjacent to the borough of Brooklyn at the southwestern end of Long Island and to Nassau County farther east on Long Island; in addition, Queens shares water borders with the boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx. Coterminous with Queens County since 1899, the borough of Queens is the second-largest in population (after Brooklyn), with a census-estimated 2,358,582 residents in 2017, approximately 48% of them foreign-born. Queens County also is the second-most populous county in the U.S. state of New York, behind the neighboring borough of Brooklyn, which is coterminous with Kings County. Queens is the fourth-most densely populated county among New York City's boroughs, as well as in the United States.
Queens has the most diversified economy of the five boroughs of New York City. It is home to JFK International Airport and LaGuardia Airport.

Queens Boulevard is a major thoroughfare in the New York City borough of Queens connecting Midtown Manhattan, via the Queensboro Bridge, to Jamaica.

10 Terrible Things You Shouldn't Do in a Foreign Country
Get more Tips here!
We love travelling, but sometimes we forget that things that we consider normal or polite mean quite the opposite in other countries. So to avoid problems, here are some terrible things you shouldn't do in a foreign country.
1) Don't Imitate the Accent
Forget about imitating Irish accent in Ireland. They don't think they have a strong accent and feel like you are making fun of them.
2) Mind your gestures
As well as English people have a particular way to say number two with their fingers, in Turkey doing the OK gesture with your hands doesn't mean anything good for them. So don't do it.
3) Forget the jokes
In Mexico they will get you tired because they will be joking all the time. Don't take them into account too much, htey're just jokes.
4) No church
In Norway, people is very reserved and don't like to talk about personal matters such as religion, so avoid picking up this topic of conversation.
5) Learn the fork rules
In Chile it's not well seen to eat by using your hands, you must use the cutlery. In case you can't distinguish a fork or knife from another, learn how to use them first.
6) No gum
In Singapore chewing gum is banned so leave your gums at home or face a painful fine of $1,000
7) No kissing
In India, being affectionate is a bad thing. If you kiss a person of the opposite sex in public you can get imprisoned.
8) Be careful with flowers
In Russia, to give an even number of flowers is not a nice thing to do cause it's related to cementeries. So remember that before giving flowers as a gift.
9) No tipping
In Japan, tipping is not allowed, so they will give you back your money if you try to tip them. Well, bad for them, better for you, right?
10) Remember the differences.
No, Aussies and Kiwis are not the same. The former one means Australian people, and the latter one people from New Zealand. Don't be a blabbermouth.

During the gold rush of the nineteenth century it was through here that thousands of pioneers took a short cut while journeying west. They eventually arrived in a valley that offered no further way forward. Weakness, hunger and lack of water combined to create the name of this treacherous valley. Las Vegas is like a mirage in the desert, awake day and night it is THE entertainment capital of the world. The Bellagio is a return to the exclusive nature of the casino hotels of the past in which luxury is at its zenith and an investment of nearly two billion dollars speaks for itself.

Beware These Worst Beaches for Shark Attacks!
Shark attacks seem to be on the rise in many parts of the world, therefore, you might want to steer clear of the following known shark-infested waters. Statistically, these are among the most dangerous beaches for deadly shark attacks.
1. Pernambuco, Brazil
The shockingly high attack rate in these waters appears to be due to over-fishing. Without enough food supply, the sharks have begun to sample other forms of fare to satisfy their relentless hunger.
2. Second Beach, South Africa
The beach is popular among shark-seeking tourists and cage divers. Tour operators dump boatloads of bloody chum in the water order to entice the great whites. You definitely don’t want to surf or swim anywhere near these boats and their chum lines.
3. New Smyrna Beach, Florida
More than 238 shark attacks have been documented at Florida’s (surprisingly) popular New Smyrna Beach. In fact, 15% of worldwide shark bites have occurred here. Most of the bites are courtesy of baby bull sharks that favor these waters. To date, none of the recorded attacks here have been fatal.
4. Velzyland Beach, Hawaii
About 41 different shark species that frequent Hawaii’s waters including aggressive specimens like bull sharks and great whites. The last fatal shark attack at this beach occurred in 1994 when a tiger shark attacked a surfer. More recent attacks on surfers have been reported, but none fatal.
5. New South Wales, Australia
This region, which includes famous Bondi Beach, has recorded more than 170 unprovoked shark attacks and more than 50 fatal attacks, and great white shark encounters are more common here than in other parts of the world. Due to the position of the continental shelf, swimmers and surfers are in close proximity of deep waters where these potential predators cruise.
6. Fletcher Cove, California
Fletcher Cove may be picturesque, but it is also the scene of 142 unprovoked shark attacks, including some recent fatalities. Scientists are convinced that the fish-strewn waters in this region are ideal feeding grounds for large predators like the great white.
7. Reunion Island, Indian Ocean
This island has had more than 10 attacks in a recent two-year period, three being fatal. This has prompted island officials to close the beaches to swimmers and surfers. Experts aren’t sure why the sharks are biting people with greater frequency.
8. Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
Since 2005, there have been more than fifty attacks. In fact, researchers have claimed that South Carolina’s waters are just as dangerous as Florida’s when comparing the swimmer-to-attack ratio. Their waters are attractive to species like tiger sharks and bull sharks.
9. Coffin Bay, Australia
The name says it all. Don’t swim here unless you fancy a meeting with a great white. Recently an abalone diver was attacked and killed by two great white sharks. His body was never recovered.
10. Surf Beach, California
A nineteen-year-old surfer was attacked and killed a few years ago by a great white shark believed to be 18 feet in length. The waters here are home to seals, which attract great whites in large numbers.
