    Ipswich

    is one of England's oldest towns and took shape in Anglo-Saxon times as the main centre between York and London for North Sea trade to Scandinavia and the Rhine. It served the Kingdom of East Anglia, and began developing in the time of King Rædwald, supreme ruler of the English (616-624).

    There are also cities in Mass. USA and Queensland Australia with the same name.

    Heidelberg, Germany.

    Home to United States Army Europe Headquarters, a wonderful military history library, and an absolutely gorgeous downtown. It's one of the places I intend on visiting when I can get some time, besides going up to Mannheim to see what's left of the Caserne I was stationed at.

    Grindelwald is a municipality in the district of Interlaken in the canton of Bern in Switzerland. The village is located at 1,034 metres (3,390 ft) above sea level in the Bernese Alps.

    Long famed as a winter tourist destination with slopes for beginners, intermediates and the challenges of the Eiger glacier for the experienced, there are activities for the non-skiers, from tobogganing to groomed winter hiking tracks. It is the usual starting point for ascents of the Eiger and the Wetterhorn. Nowadays Grindelwald is also a popular summer activity resort with many miles of hiking trails across the Alps.

    This Area should be on your places to see before you die. Beautiful

    Dubai in UAE

    Serving as a crossroad between the East and West, Dubai has always been a meeting place for thousands. A courtyard of different cultures that witnessed this land turn from a village, to a bustling town, to a prosperous city.

    OOh! OOh! "I"!!!

    Intercourse, Pennsylvania!

    Yes, it is a real place!

    Intercourse, Pennsylvania (pop. roughly 1,000) is an unincorporated village in Leacock Township, Lancaster County in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. It is ten miles east of Lancaster along PA 340. The village is located within the 17534 ZIP code, 717 area code, and 768 local phone code.

    As with the nearby towns of Bird-in-Hand, Pennsylvania, Blue Ball, and Paradise, Pennsylvania, Intercourse is a popular site for tourists on account of its location in "Amish country". Its name has acquired sexual connotations unrelated to the reasons the village was named. Sign posts for the town are frequently targeted by thieves.

    Apart from and despite its name, Intercourse is also famous for its Amish communities. For this reason the movie Witness was filmed in Intercourse and For Richer or Poorer was set there, though not filmed in Intercourse.

    Embarrass Township is a township in St. Louis County, Minnesota, United States. The population is about 691. It has a nickname of "THE COLD SPOT", having a low temperature of -54 degrees in 2005.

    The township name Embarrass was derived from the French word "embarras" based on its meaning of "to hinder with obstacles or difficulties". It was given this name by the French fur traders who were some of the first Europeans to visit the area, and who found the narrow, shallow river very difficult to navigate, and named the river "Embarras"
