Alberobello, ufos or elves? #I♡Italia

Alberobello, ufos or elves?

Alberobello, with its whimsical trulli houses, seems like the perfect meeting point for UFOs and elves. The conical stone roofs could easily be disguised alien landing pads or cozy elf workshops. Given the surreal atmosphere of the town, either explanation seems plausible—although the locals might insist it's just centuries-old architecture. What’s your take?

Maria with Cross...Sacred Devotion or LED Spectacle? The Kitsch of Bari ...

Ah, the old town of Bari—where ancient devotion meets modern kitsch! Here we have Maria (or perhaps Saint Rita?) gazing lovingly at the cross as if it’s the ultimate accessory for the season. Forget Prada or Versace; in Bari Vecchia, the cross is the real fashion statement.

The juxtaposition is divine: medieval holiness framed against crumbling facades and chaotic street life. The LED lights? Pure Bari flair—because nothing says timeless faith like dollar-store Christmas lights. It’s a reminder that in southern Italy, even spirituality gets a touch of dramatic, over-the-top pizzazz. Devotion? Check. Style? Indisputable. Context? Iconic.

Mother of Belfast man detained in Dubai over Google review calls for help

“Since Craig’s arrest, I’ve learned that it’s actually common for tourists to be arrested for leaving a 1 or 2 star reviews of tourist facilities like hotels or restaurants. I had no idea. How can a tourist destination make it illegal to say anything bad about service providers? 99% of tourists aren’t going to know this. I had no idea that the law could be applied to reviews made from outside the country too. It’s ridiculous. Craig is the kindest man you’ll ever meet. He’s always volunteering and helping others. He has been treated appallingly and he just doesn’t deserve it. I’m doing everything I can to help get him home. I’m asking people to share his story and raise awareness. We need to do more than that though, we need tourists to be aware they could be jailed for an internet post. They need to know this before even booking a flight. Why aren’t these nightmare stories all over the travel advisory website, the newspapers and travel agencies?”

Legislation around relationships, alcohol and online activity are some of the issues tourists most commonly run into. While alcohol consumption is legal in licensed venues in Dubai, and party culture is “widespread,” anyone caught with alcohol in their system in a public place can be charged with public drunkenness or consuming alcohol without a license, says Stirling.No one would think that it’s illegal to leave a venue, get in a taxi, and go home – but while you’re outside the venue, you’re violating the law,” she adds.

Another area of confusion is the nation’s sweeping cybercrime laws, which cover online activity from hacking and terrorism to unfriendly comments and promoting charities. These laws apply to private and public communications, retroactively and internationally — so something you share online before you travel to the UAE can still lead to prosecution after you arrive, says Stirling.

“I’d say almost 100% of visitors to the UAE are already in violation of those laws, if someone made the effort to report them,” she says. This year, a 39-year-old Irishman was detained in Dubai for three months over sending a “threatening emoji,” and a Northern Irish man was detained for two months over a negative Google review.
