Caracol Falls in Brazil

Photographer: Tiago Fioreze Caracol Falls, or Cascata do Caracol, is a 426-foot (130 meter) waterfall about 4.35 miles (7.00 km) from Canela, Brazil in Caracol State Park (Parque do Caracol). It is formed by the Caracol River and cuts out of basalt cliffs in the Serra Geral mountain range, falling into the Vale da Lageana. The falls are situated between the pinheiral (pine forest) zone of the Brazilian Highlands and the southern coastal Atlantic Forest. The base of the waterfall can be reached by a steep 927-step trail maintained by the Projeto Lobo-Guará. (via Wikipedia) Picture courtesy of Wikimedia Commons

Mysterious Lagoon
Photographer: Marcio Cabral Site: [http://www.pbase.com/marciocabral] Lagoa Misteriosa, which translates as “Mysterious Lagoon”, is a lake at the bottom of a sinkhole, a type of geological formation common in limestone regions. This lake of transparent waters impresses visitors for its incredible depth. It is considered one of the deepest submerged caves in Brazil, with more than 220 meters of water column (maximum depth reached by professional cave diver Gilberto Menezes de Oliveira, in 1998), which explains why is called mysterious.
Floating in the Waterfalls [Iguazu Falls]
Photographer Andrew Murray "Taller than Niagara Falls, twice as wide with 275 cascades spread in a horsehoe shape over nearly two miles of the Iguazu River, Iguazú Falls are the result of a volcanic eruption which left yet another large crack in the earth. During the rainy season of November - March, the rate of flow of water going over the falls may reach 450,000 cubic feet (12,750 cubic m) per second. These matter of fact details do nothing to describe the grandeur of the falls, the tremendous amount of water (an average of 553 cubic feet per second) thundering down 269 feet, the tropical location and the sheer beauty that led Eleanor Roosevelt to say Poor Niagara. Four times the width of Niagara Falls, Iguazu Falls are divided by various islands into separate waterfalls. One of the best known is Devil's Throat, or Gargantua del Diablo with its perpetual spray high over the falls. Other notable falls are the San Martin, Bossetti, and Bernabe Mendez. Iguazú Falls, called Foz do Iguaçu in Portuguese, and Cataratas del Iguazú in Spanish, lie on the Argentina - Brazil border and are a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site."

Proof That Japan Is Not Like Any Other Country
I Was Stalked and Filmed on a Subway? :(
Recently I had a very creepy experience on the subway. A had a very odd man sit next to me and start filming me secretly (though obviously not so secretly since I noticed) He also tried to follow me but luckily I tricked him. For more info you can check the video below. **this is not common AT ALL in Korea, it only happened to me in Seoul because that's where I live. This could, and does, happen all over the world no matter what culture~** What I hope you take from this: 1. Be aware of your surroundings at all times. If someone sits next to you (even if it seems totally normal) just take a millisecond to recognize that - don't just stay zoned in on your phone. 2. If you feel uncomfortable - get up and move. I didn't do this but I should have. I didn't need to "prove" he really was creepy, regardless of if he was or not, I have every right to just move away. 3. If someone made you feel uncomfortable, trust your gut and keep an eye on them in some way. If I hadn't noticed him earlier, he might have followed me off the train without me knowing. 4. Let someone know where you are and what was up. Even if its just texting a close friend that is dependable "hey I'm at XYZ bus stop, there was a weird guy on the bus lol" just so someone knows. In case something happens to you, it could help people find you. 5. If you see something weird happening to another girl, try to do something. When I see guys getting too close to girls on crowded trains I always try to make it seem like I'm with the girl too so he's outnumbered, or I stare them down so they know they aren't being sneaky. Be safe out there everyone, and just be alert :)

Olympic Diver Gets Engaged and Its The Most Beautiful Thing Ever
Prepare the tissues, this is one of the cutest proposal photosets I've ever seen! Swedish former Olympic diver Jimmy Sjödin, and his German boyfriend, Patrick Huber, just got engaged in Venice, Italy, and the photos are making the internet go wild! Patrick wouldn’t tell Jimmy where they were going when they left their Munich home by car. They eventually reached Venice, Italy, a place Jimmy had always wanted to visit, where Patrick had arranged for a travel photographer to take secret snaps of their sweet adventure. When the pair set off on a romantic gondola ride, Patrick knew the time was right, and popped the question. “I had no idea or clue that this could or would be an engagement trip,” Jimmy told the Huffington Post about the shocking moment. The happy couple is set to marry in the German Alps on May 28, 2018, which will mark two years to the day they began dating.

🌸 I Saw Sakura in Kyoto 🌸
Hi everyone! Sorry I've been MIA from Vingle for a while, I just got back from a week-long trip to Japan! I spent half the time in Tokyo, and half in Kyoto and we were lucky enough to be there right at peak cherry blossom season! I'll post about Tokyo later (spoiler alert - i got to visit the youtube studios!) but today I wanted to share some footage of the sakura in Kyoto. In Gion, the geisha district, there is a big stream that runs through the center of town. That entire stream is lined with the most perfect cherry blossoms and its absolutely stunning. We also visited a few shrines that had plenty of sakura too and it was just so calming to look at them. People were also super respectful of the trees too, and weren't touching them or shaking them to get the perfect picture. I really appreciated that! Are there any cherry blossoms where you guys are?! I just got back to Seoul and they're EVERYWHERE!

This Garden Outside of Seoul is Pure Magic This Spring!
My mom visited Korea this week so on Friday we took the train out to Gapyeong to see the Garden of the Morning Calm. It's the first week of April so the tulips have finally come out and they are so gorgeous! I don't think I've ever seen that many tulips in one place, and so many colors~ Here's a little video I put together of the garden :) Does anyone know what drama this might have been in? It looks so familiar!

Visit Busan With Me: My Weekend in Korea's Second Largest City
I'm from San Diego, so I grew up right next to the beach. The ocean has always been really important to me (even though I barely go waist-deep) and I do miss it a lot when I'm in Seoul. This weekend though, I traveled to Busan which is Korea's second largest city and sits right on the south eastern tip of the country. No matter where you are in the city you can either see the ocean, hear the ocean, or at least see one of the many canals that juts through the city. I wish I had more time there to really explore and even though I've been there before, I haven't seen even a fraction of this gorgeous place! Here's my weekend in Busan, I hope you enjoy!

Abused Dog Is Terrified Of Everyone Except This Baby
Everybody needs someone to love. Nora’s previous owners had abused the pup to the point where she’s now scared to death of every living being – except one toddler. “We got our girl Nora, an English Pointer, from a rescue shelter seven years ago prior to having kids. Despite having come from an abusive situation her sweet and gentle nature shone through and we knew with certainty she would be a wonderful family dog when the time came. She absolutely did not disappoint!” The duo is inseparable. “If Archie is having a bath, Nora is lying on the bath mat waiting for him to get out. If I’m nursing him she wants up on my lap, too.” Check their instagram!
