My dream is to fly with a supersonic plane. Since the Concorde is no longer active, I don't think it is possible to do this with a regular plane. So how can I get onto board of a supersonic plane? Ideally it should be in Central Europe.
I'd love to travel to a place that has a good cave-swimming adventure.* I'd like it to be:
Safe
Warm
Fun
Suitable for an amateur
Good for photography is a bonus

I'm looking for some suggestions for one-day trips from Zürich (Switzerland). It isn't limited to Switzerland, but the place should be reachable within one day.
I'm particularly interested in cities and outdoor activities. I'm living in Switzerland…
This May, my family is traveling to Scotland (it'll actually be my first time in Europe - everybody else has been at least once!). While there, I'd like the opportunity to participate in some sort of sword fight. Since my brother is coming too,…

How does this affect activities availability and operating hours?…
In Kyoto, there are plenty of maiko henshin (or maiko makeover) studios where (presumably) female tourists can pay to be made up and dressed to look like a maiko (apprentice geisha).
What options are available for men in Kyoto? Are there any…
