1) This is the best Ice Bucket Challenge by far. I almost peed my pants watching it.

3) Here are 40 tourist scams to avoid. This is a good infographic because I've personally seen several locals try to do this to me or others on travels. They sure are sneaky, but most of them can be avoided by not bothering with people trying to sell you things, just keep moving. For instance, I've seen women trying to sell the rosemary sprigs in Seville. I don't need these so I won't indulge them. My friend got scammed in Milan when a man grabbed her arm and put bird seeds in her hand. She got a picture with pidgeons but then he of course asked her to give him money. Also, I would never allow someone to take my picture who requested it. But I do occasionally ask someone to take my picture. Also, always ask the price of a cab ride before getting in. So many good tips here. Also, I'm not sure who in their right mind would accept a massage on the beach from a stranger.
