![Spider Sculpture, Tokyo
The amazing spider sculpture shown above is the work of artist Louise Bourgeois, and is one of the largest sculptures ever made.
Over 30ft high and 33ft wide, a version of the spider named ‘Maman’ can be found in different locations throughout the world, including this one at the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo. The original resides at the Tate Modern in London.
You may notice the ‘sac’ at the bottom on the spider, which contains 26 marble eggs. ‘Maman’ is the French word for ‘Mother’, and the sculpture represents the artist’s view of strength, perseverance, and protection of her own mother, who passed away at a young age.

Forming the border between Argentina and Brazil, Iguazu Falls sure beats the Four Corners in wow-factor. It has the second greatest annual water flow after Niagara Falls, and well maintained walkways surrounding the falls make it easily accessible to visitors.

Created for businesspeople and party go-ers who often miss the last train out of town, capsule hotels cost around $35 USD a night and are essentially, an inclosed bed.
Although by no means luxurious, for many staying in a capsule hotel is an integral part of the experience of traveling in Japan.
