Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few years, you would have probably seen adorable photos of pigs swimming in the ocean on social media. You’ll be happy to know that Pig Beach is a real place, and located on the beautiful Bahamian island of Exuma. Celebrities have traveled in their troves to swim with these little piggies, and now you can too. This is the ultimate guide to Pig Beach.

A Popular Destination
In recent years, Pig Beach on Exuma Island has become extremely popular. Influencers and celebrities alike have made their way in their thousands to check these wild pigs out for themselves, and they have since posted all about it on social media. This has created a buzz surrounding the destination, and it seems as though more and more people now want to make their way there.
Swimming Around
Of course, the main attraction of this Caribbean island is the fact that these pigs freely roam around the beaches. Because of the hot temperatures, they regularly make their way into the ocean to cool off. However, the pigs are not native to the island, so it’s not known how they came to live on the island in the first place – and this just intrigues people even more.

One-On-One Experiences
As well as offering visitors the chance to explore the Caribbean island and the wonders that come with it, Exuma also offers an up-close-and-personal experience with the pigs. Many people don’t get the chance to come into direct contact with these animals, so that makes it extremely special. What makes it even more special is the fact that these pigs swim around you in the water and aren’t scared of human interaction.
If you’re looking to visit Pig Beach, it’s important to remember that you are visiting the pigs’ natural habitat and to stay respectful.

Copenhagen Traffic
In Denmark, a minor traffic playground has been constructed to teach kids how to bike around the busy streets and appropriately interact with cars and pedestrians along the way.

This project was approved after a Danish doctor found that up to 60% of young children were helmeted when biking — this led her to believe that those children didn’t know how to bike between cars or safely cross intersections without helmets because they had not practiced enough before being put on a bike.

Hawaii’s Stop Sign
Blue stop signs in Hawaii may also ask a pedestrian to stop and look. In some states, a yellow diamond-shaped sign is used to indicate a railroad crossing.

No Menu Restaurant
The history of restaurants in Seattle goes back to the 1870s when it was a lumber-rich port town. The Filipino restaurant in Seattle has no set menu, as options change every day based on the chef’s mood.

Florida’s No-Parking Highway
They are designed to help reduce traffic congestion by adding more time for drivers to find a space, but these “No-Parking” highways may be causing the opposite effect. As traffic in Florida becomes worse, the number of spots that are available in parking areas is also decreasing.

This is because there are more people in need of spots than there are spots available for them. The wait time during off-peak hours for drivers to find a place can take up to one minute less than it takes drivers to find a space during peak hours.

Amsterdam’s Trash Size
The Netherlands is among the highest plastic and paper waste user per capita in Europe, making up nearly 80% of municipal waste. In response to this, the city government has mandated that all single-family households provide a means for trash disposal that’s easily accessible and outfitted with a lid.

This new law was implemented after an extensive study about how people were throwing their waste into the street or building trash cans without lids. The study found approximately one ton of garbage generated per day in Amsterdam alone, which could have been prevented if proper methods had been applied to curb this problem at its source.

French Delivery
The government of France is considering a new measure to assist low-income earners. This measure would allow people to opt for free bread deliveries every day in the country. For instance, there are many families that have children that are not in school yet but are already receiving the food subsidy for 24% of their income.

They may work, but they don’t have enough money to buy bread for the family every day, so some parents resort to buying food at cheaper prices from town markets or other places where it’s sold at a better price than what can be bought from subsidized bakeries.
Low-Cost Food in Armenia
The low cost of food in Armenia is a significant factor that contributes to the general welfare of this country. For example, the poverty rate is the lowest in Armenia as compared to any other European country.

Canned Cake
There are many things one can do with a leftover birthday cake. You can stuff the cake into a can and eat it right out of there. Perhaps that’s exactly what this canned cake in a vending machine is all about.

Giving Birth in Finland
The healthcare services in Finland are provided by public funds and not private hospitals or doctors. These types of public administration create a variety of ways that individuals can be covered for their health needs in Finland. It is, however, surprising why the cost presented here is high.

Street Border
Believe it or not, but this border — which runs down the middle of the steps and continues through the middle of the street below — really does differentiate whether you’re standing in France or Monaco.

The worst part about being so close in proximity, at least in this particular area, is the disparity in tax income among neighbors that have similar salaries. On the Monaco side of the alley, there’s no income tax. On the French side, however, depending on your income level, you could potentially be among the highest taxed in the EU!
A Japanese Convenience Store
In the country of Japan, there are convenience stores called Family Mart. JThe store is only made of a vending machine that stocks many different types of goods in a variety of sizes.

There is a wide selection of food and drinks that can be bought from the vending machine which includes things like rice balls, pastries, fruit juice and fried egg crepe. The Japanese people will often buy these items at the convenience store rather than at a supermarket because of its reasonable price.

Lake Powell was created by the closing of Glen Canyon Dam in 1966, and since then has risen to an elevation of above sea level. The Colorado River flows through the Grand Canyon and is dammed to form Lake Powell. Lake Powell is over long and about wide at its widest point, covering an area of.
Love for Pandas
The love for pandas in Uzbekistan has been gaining momentum over the years. People are drawn to these animals because of their resemblance to people, which is why they are widely drawn as mascots.

Learning CPR in Dallas
The two-minute learning machine is an entertaining way for the airport to provide refresher training on how to administer CPR. The airport also provides documentation for those who might need it. However, it must be noted that the airport has no obligation or responsibility to learn CPR.

CPR is a valuable skill to have, but airports should not be expected to provide this service — although it’s nice when they do!
Pit to Park in China
The government of Lezhou in China has turned a former mining pit into a public park. The city government had been mining iron ore here for more than 30 years, but now that some of the reserves have run out, they thought that this pit could be put to better use!

The new park will have a lake, recreation areas for walking or jogging, some cultural heritage buildings around the lake, and even an observation tower that visitors can climb to get a view of Lezhou.
