Huangshan (黄山), or “Yellow Mountain,” is situated in east China’s Anhui province. It’s known for sweeping views of jutting granite peaks that emerge just above the clouds, sturdy pine trees and must-see sunrises over the North Sea. As a result of its scenic beauty, the site is a major tourist destination in China. Over 15 million tourists visited in 2007 alone.
Those who visit Huangshan have the opportunity to stand on the world’s highest bridge, known as The Bridge of Immortals. Visitors can also climb several hundred steps past mysterious caves to Lotus Peak—Huangshan’s highest summit at an altitude of 1,837 meters (6,027 feet).

Protests in Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and other Brazilian cities, set off by a 10-cent hike in public transport fares, have clearly moved beyond that issue to tap into widespread frustration in Brazil about a heavy tax burden, politicians widely viewed as corrupt and woeful public education, health and transport systems and come as the nation hosts the Confederations Cup soccer tournament and prepares for next month’s papal visit.

THIS IS MY BRAZIL. #THEGIANTWAKEUP

The Y3 Qasa comes from a branch of Adidas, focusing on fashion and innovation. Designed by Yohji Yamamoto, the Qasa features a minimal shoe somewhat reminiscent of the Nike Roshe Run.
I come from a design program that loves shoes, I mean absolutely obsesses over them. Several of my classmates had sneaker collections of 60+ , some of which are now designing for sneaker companies. That being said, when I see a noteworthy shoe I tend to geek out.
The wrap-like design helps the shoe to conform to the foot, making it more comfortable than the typical lace-up sneaker. It comes out this fall with a $300 price tag; so not for everyone, but if you are a sneakerhead get excited.
What the hell
