The Paradise on Earth: Bora Bora
Bora Bora is an island in the Leeward group of the Society Islands of French Polynesia, an overseas collectivity of France in the Pacific Ocean. The island, located about 230 kilometres (140 mi) northwest of Papeete, is surrounded by a lagoon and a barrier reef. In the center of the island are the remnants of an extinct volcano rising to two peaks, Mount Pahia and Mount Otemanu, the highest point at 727 metres (2,385 ft). The original name of the island in the Tahitian language might be better rendered as Pora Pora, meaning First Born; an early transcription found in 18th- and 19th century accounts, is Bolabolla (or Bollabolla). 
7 Weird Hotels of the world!May 15th 2010 15:31
1.Dog Bark Park Inn
If youre visiting Cottonwood, Idaho you can stay at the Dog Bark Park Inn, which is built in the shape of a giant beagle. The rooms are filled with dog decorations, guests are fed dog shaped cookies, the gift shop sells all sorts of dog related products and youll even use an outhouse disguised as a giant fire hydrant. With room for only four people at a time this bed and breakfast is marketed towards families and dog lovers. 
2.Null Stern Hotel Null Stern is an abandoned Swiss nuclear shelter thats been converted into a hotel. Null Stern translates to zero star, and that rating is earned because guests dont get much more than a bed and hot water. Youll even have to share your room with up to six other people. On the plus side a night only costs ten dollars, but this hotel isnt designed just for travelers on a budget. Its creators are marketing it both as a social experiment and a chance for guests to get to know their fellow travelers on a more intimate level. 
3.Karostas Cietums If youve ever wanted to spend the night in a former Soviet prison then this is the place for you. Based in Latvia, your hotel room is literally nothing more than a prison cell. If youre willing to pay a little extra you can even get the full prison experience; the hotels guards will treat you like an actual prisoner so you can see what life was like for its former inmates. Tours are also offered, and theres a museum as well. 
4.Library Hotel Do you like books? Do you really, really like books? Then the library hotel is where youll want to stay if you visit New York City. Every floor and room is dedicated to a different category in the Dewy Decimal system. Each room is full of books from its category and is decorated specifically to match the theme. With sixty rooms in all theres something for every guest, from philosophy to mathematics to erotic literature. Theres also a restaurant and lounge, and enough services are provided to make this a pretty luxurious place to stay. 
5.Jumbo Hostel A lot of travelers have slept on a plane at some point, because its a good way to get some rest while youre flying to your destination. The people behind the Jumbo Hostel hope that you enjoy sleeping on a plane so much youll be willing to do it on the ground too. A retired 747 jet has been modified to house 85 guests, plus a café. Its just ten minutes away from the Stockholm-Arlanda Airport, which means you can hop off one plane and go sleep in another. Theres even a suite in the cockpit, and guests have a good view of air traffic going in and out of the airport. 
6.Propeller Island City Lodge This German hotel claims that you can live in a piece of art, as each room is designed with a specific artistic vision in mind. One room is painted entirely orange, another has its bed suspended from the ceiling (no overweight guests allowed in this one), and a third has walls made entirely of mirrors to make the room feel like a giant kaleidoscope. If youre feeling particular morbid you can even sleep in a coffin; this hotel has an incredible variety of rooms. 7.Hang Nga This Vietnamese Hotel is built to look like a giant, whimsical treehouse. The tree is artificial but its covered in very real plant life, and the rooms have themes to match the tree setting. One room has giant ants on the walls, along with ant shaped lamps and coat hangers to complete the motif. The courtyard features giant spider webs mixed in with the foliage. Large branches jutting in and out of rooms at random really enhances the feeling of living in a giant tree.
