There are so many things in the present world that actually make us realise that maybe the so-called ‘financial hard times’ are just the woes of a very few. We know that counries have been very busy promoting tourism in their states and for that they are offering great discount packages too. But perhaps, Moscow does not believe in giving quality at low prices. From what we hear, an expensive rental apartment in the Russian capital charges $50,000 per month.
DOKI Real Estate Agency is handling the property located very strategically near the Arbatskaya metro station in downtown Moscow. Apparently, the 21 rooms which include 8 bedrooms and six bathrooms will keep your travelling group quite happy and comfortable.

Grills and barbecues are not all about having some coal and fire but you would also need the right kind of grill and BBQ gear. Most guys tackle it for granted that a steak can be successfully cooked on anything that is hot but what you get in the end is something that is charred, sour or something that just doesn’t taste good.
Alessi has just launched the Barbicu which is a versatile grill and you can carry it around as it is portable. You can also accessorize it with trollies or cutting boards and you would have the perfect backyard. You could choose to light it with either charcoal or gas and is one of the best grills I have ever seen. If only people knew how to hold a proper BBQ party, such awesome machines would come to use.

Rasmus Gjesing has just designed a gold-zinc painted bicycle for men and hopes to provide options for those men who are tired of riding bicycles meant for the masses. Targeted at the elite Danes, The Killer bicycle comes with aluminium bars and is made of steel. It also has a Brooks leather seat and looks amazingly gorgeous with all the zinc plate and flashy gold appearance.
However, I am not the kind of guy who would like gold on my bicycle as that looks quite tacky and unsophisticated. Instead, I would rather buy something that does not look so garish. Nevertheless, if it is only the price tag which helps you get off, then you can get poorer by $4,300 and get yourself this golden hued bicycle and ride to a weird type of glory.

Carl F. Bucherer is one of the most important watchmakers of the present generation. He has just created a masterpiece called the Alacria Royal which almost looks like a royal piece of jewellery. The watch can be worn by ladies and is opulent enough to make a princess carve for it.
It comes studded with precious stones like diamonds, blue and orange-colored sapphires, rubies and emeralds. Though Carl has used Indian themes on these watches as he claims, one must admit that they do look good. It is an interesting point to make that in India colours have significance but most people lack a good sense of fashion in that country.

Rev John Hall, the Dean at the Westminster Abbey briefed Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles about building the corona on top of England’s most famous church. The project is going to cost about 10 million pounds and is something that would need public approval for a “go-ahead”. In a plan to redevelop Westminster Abbey, a further 13 million pounds have been sought and this comes at a time of celebration of the diamond jubilee of the Queen’s coronation in June 2013.
Princes Diana and Queen mother have been laid in the premises and is one of the most significant places in England. However, many people might oppose the construction of a corona as that would change the look of the abbey. Many people may not be ready to spend so much of tax-payer’s money on the renovation either.

While the whole world is still paying tribute to Michael Jackson and while media is still cashing on the death of the King of Pop, here is a guy who has put up on sale an energy drink endorsed by Michael Jackson. This energy drink is one of the few ever to be put up on sale and now that Michael Jackson passed away, this Michael Jackson energy drink has been known to even have a dedicated fan site.
In fact, Michael had a hand to play in the contents of the drink and he made sure the drink had nothing artificial in it. It contains 1.7 % juice and many fruit extracts along with Magnesium Carbonate, Guarana Extract, Caffeine and Flavouring. The energy drink also comes with a number of vitamins like Vitamin C, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid, Vitamin B6, Thiamine (VIT B1), and even other nutrients like magnesium.

Bugatti Veyron Pur Sang is one of the most expensive cars ever to be manufactured. It has even been listed on JamesList for the same reason. Florida’s auto dealer Forza Collezione has put up a fourth Pur Sang on sale, while only three had been available of the 5 ever manufactured. It is going to come with a price tag of $3.8 million and would not be within the reach of many people. It is made of exposed carbon fiber and comes with aluminium bodywork.
It was however sold out within 24 hours of its announcement. Perhaps one could track down the 5th car, which would make all the Pur Sangs to be bought by 5 different lucky people. Even when recession is at its full swing, people still manage to buy ultra luxury cars which suggests that the luxury market is not doing so badly after all.
