    		Delphi is well known as the ancient site for receiving an oracle, and in mythology as the "Navel of the Earth". Today, it is considered to be one of the greatest cultural treasures of Greece.

    Where is the only place in Australia that dolphins visit daily?

    This place, once a "seeing place," has seen it all: first a stronghold, it's been a walking place, a drinking place, a disbarking place, a swimming place (but not for people), a singing place, and now an embarking place. Oddly enough, never a drumming place, though virtually in a former shooting place that still retains the name. Named for a politician, then renamed horticulturally, it's again named for the politician, no relation to other more recent ones of the same name. Where in the United States is it?

    If you were lucky enough to go to that wonderful country North Korea, what would be the first place that you would visit?
