Animal House
I found these images separately and have had them for a long long while now.
I never knew what the deal with this house was
till a few nights ago when my roommate, who is from Detroit, was showing me this great documentary on how young artists are trying to rebuild and reinvent the city.
And there it was.
It was like seeing a friend on television.

to watch the movie, and see the house.
definitely worth your time.
Places To Go: Lake Baikal
This is a lake located in the Russian region of southern Siberia (the next place will be a warm one I promise). Even so, Lake Baikal seems pretty amazing despite the cold (the water in the summer reaches a high of only about 40 degrees). It's the biggest, oldest, and deepest lake in the world with over 1,500 species that are unique to it alone, like the world's only fresh water seal. It makes up for about 20% of the world's fresh water supply. It also has mutated species, hot underwater geysers, the fact that scientists don't even know how deep it actually goes, AND the rumor of the Lake Baikal monster. Lets go.
Places To Go: Yakutsk
Virgin Siberian Forest to see the Stone Trees of Yakutsk. From the Yakutia region, I can pay an armed local five hundred dollars to take me there in his boat, and we can make it in about 4 days.
