8. Putrajaya, Malaysia
The world’s largest roundabout does not feel like a roundabout to drivers due to its sheer size. Ariel photos show the actual size of this huge roundabout that has a forest at the centre. It is approximately 2.11 miles all the way around and is close to the Malaysian Prime Minister’s office.
9. The Road to Giza, Egypt
The Road to Giza is over 4,600 years old and is the world’s oldest known paved road. It was built to allow the passage of building materials from quarries in Southwest Cairo to Lake Moeris. It covers a total distance of seven and a half miles and has become a national landmark.
10. Gravity Hills, Various Locations
Gravity hills are amazing locations were the laws of gravity do not seem to apply. Cars left out of gear will magically roll uphill, and rainwater will flow up the hill defying all logic. Despite their popularity and seemingly magic powers, gravity hills are nothing more than optical illusions where the surrounding landscape makes an uphill slope appear as is if it is pointing downwards.
Every country around the world has its own style of laying out its city streets, with a few throwing out the rule book altogether. Unusual architecture is greatly appealing to both tourists and locals, and all of the aforementioned streets have earned themselves a place in history.

Second wedding for 9-year-old schoolboy and his 61-year-old wife
Why is it okay for a 61yr old woman to kiss a 9 yr old boy in the mouth all in the name of tradition? A 9-year-old schoolboy has become one of the world's youngest grooms for the 2nd time, marrying his 62-year-old wife again. Looking a little taller in last year's silvery tuxedo, baby faced Saneie Masilela clutched the hand of Helen Shabangu as they repeated their vows one year on.
Last year the boy, from nearby Tshwane, tied the knot with bride Helen after claiming he had been told by his dead ancestors to wed. Shockingly his family took the message from the heavens seriously and hurriedly forked out £500 for the bride and a further £1,000 for the big day.
The second marriage ceremony was this time held at the home of the blushing bride in Ximhungwe in Mpumalanga, South Africa, in front of around 100 guests. Wide-eyed residents looked on as the married mother-of-five shared a piece of cake, a toast and even a kiss with her young groom Sanele - and long-term husband Alfred Shabangu, 66.
