Christians protest transssexual Jesus
A play in Glasgow, Scotland, has sparked an angry protest by local Christians. Jesus Queen of Heaven depicts Jesus as a transsexual woman and is part of the Glasgay! Festival celebrating lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered culture. The festival, which runs through ...Ryanair threatens to "divorce" Boeing
Ryanair may start to look for its planes closer to home. Of course, saying it was thinking about a switch from Boeing to Airbus would be far to simple for CEO Michael O'Leary ... the genius behind "pay-to-pee" and many, many other stunts. O'Leary needs a bit more style, ...Iceland Express will offer low-cost flights from Newark to Reykjavik
I'm kind of obsessed with Iceland. Ask me about the country and get ready to endure my lengthy soliloquy on why I love it so much. It's one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen, and I'd feel pretty comfortable saying that even as I travel to more destinations, I'll ...Get out and go: Events around the world (November 3-9)
Here's a travel factoid for the day: It was 106 years ago today that Panama proclaimed its independence from Colombia. Apparently, today in Panama, which they call "Separation Day," even the bars are closed.
It's time to look at the festivals and events happening around ...Gadlinks for Monday 11.2.09
It's GPS day here are Gadling, so I think it's only appropriate to offer up some GPS-themed travel reads for you today. Enjoy!
Prague has tons of wonderful galleries, but they are not always easy to find. [via NY Times]
Up for a geocache adventure in Portugal? Try your ...Photo of the Day (11.1.09)
I'm feeling particularly ethereal today, and Flickr user cmvoekel's photo at the Tate Modern in London does a good job of capturing my mood. The geometric patterns of light, the shadows and the silhouettes of the people all suggest a scene that looks downright ...British Airways flight greeted by hazmat team after 6 passengers faint
Here is a sight you don't want to be greeted by when you land at your destination - upon landing at London Heathrow, an ambulance hazmat team boarded the aircraft to check on the condition of six passengers who had fainted during the flight. It probably isn't too uncommon ...Trans World Expedition: Driving around the globe
In a little over two weeks time, on November 15 to be exact, Nicolas Rapp will be setting out on an adventure of a lifetime. He'll be quitting his comfortable job as an art director for the Associated Press, and setting out on a year long road trip, driving his way around ...Museum Junkie: Manga and Moctezuma at the British Museum
Trust the British Museum to have two completely different but totally cool special exhibitions at the same time. There's still time to catch Moctezuma: Aztec Ruler, a dazzling collection of art from one of Mesoamerica's greatest civilizations. It focuses on the reign of ...Dutch teen denied chance to solo circumnavigate the globe, for now
A few months back we posted a story about 13-year old Laura Dekker, who was hoping to become the youngest person to sail solo around the world. At the time, the Dutch government stepped in to prevent her from making the journey by placing her under the care of child ...Pub Etiquette: This ain't no American bar
tweetmeme_url = 'http://www.gadling.com/2009/10/30/pub-etiquette-this-aint-no-american-bar/'; tweetmeme_source = 'Gadling';
Pubs are a cornerstone of English life. Most English people go to them and many are regulars at their "local." Because of this, pubs are a great ...Cycling the Silk Road
Cycling tours have become increasingly popular in recent years, especially amongst adventure travelers who are looking to explore the world from the seat of their bikes. One of the leaders in organizing these kinds of adventure cycling trips has always been Tour d'Afrique ...Real Ale--the way beer ought to be
A trip to the pub is a quintessentially British experience, and if you're a beer snob like me, you'll insist on drinking real ale. The term "real ale" is reserved for beer that's brewed using traditional ingredients and secondary fermentation. "Traditional ingredients" means ...Explore five cities with a "bad rap"
I grew up in Detroit. I love my city and will be the first tell anyone who thinks it's nothing but a boarded up hellhole just how wrong they are. But I know Detroit's bad rap comes not only from suburb-dwellers and business travelers who just breezed through, but also from ...British Airways plane grounded after tarantula sighting
A London bound plane was grounded in Edinburgh after a passenger spotted a tarantula walking through the cabin. The plane was filled with 100 passengers, and the sighting forced BA staff to evacuate the plane. An exterminator was flown in from London Gatwick, but the spider ...Neighbors bothered by naturist B&B
Neighbors of Domain Farm, a recently opened naturist Bed and Breakfast in Staffordshire, England, are complaining about seeing more than they want to of the guests.
The B&B is a converted farm and features a sun deck, hot tub, and barbeque area, and while it's set in ...Great drinking and dining at London's gastropubs
The pub is a fine British institution, but the eating is rarely as good as the drinking. When you order food at most pubs, what you get is a preprepared meal that's heated up in a microwave, not something that's cooked especially for you. Some pubs do have good kitchens ...Ship graveyards from around the world
Eco-friendly website Environmental Graffiti has an interesting story on their site today that details some of the top cargo ship graveyards from around the world. The article also includes some amazing photos of the rusted out shells of former cargo and cruise ships that ...Istanbul's hammams becoming more popular
In Ottoman times they were the daily ritual of the wealthy and middle class. Hammams were a place to unwind and socialize while getting clean. But in the twentieth century with the rise of internal plumbing and changing attitudes, the traditional hammam declined. Many ...Photo of the Day (10.27.09)
Today's Photo of the Day comes from longtime contributor Alpha Tango Bravo (aka Adam Baker). I consider great portrait photos to be ones that share the personality and character of the subject - even if they happen to be complete strangers in a foreign land. Baker ...
