    Coastal commuter towns: five hipster-friendly seaside spots for London leavers looking for work-life balance.
    Spend weekends paddleboarding without sacrificing on London comforts in these hipster-friendly commutable coastal towns with flats for about £200k.

    Sea, sand (or pebbles) and occasional sun are all on offer within 90 minutes of London. And since the pandemic has given many Londoners the option to work at least some days from home, the stretch of coastline that has long been popular with artists and other creatives has opened up to the office crowd too.

    Ramsgate, Kent
    Not as smug as Broadstairs, this good-looking town is the perfect place to chill out on the beach, pick up vintage finds at its outstanding collection of antique shops, or cycle the Viking Coastal Trail.

    City commuters could soon be travelling to work down the river on taxis made of bamboo.The vessel uses solar power and one of the earth’s most practical natural materials. Called the Hari Pontoon , offers an environmentally friendly alternative to petrol-based boats. It is seven metres long, , three and a half metres wide and three metres tall.The UK based design team behind it , Duffy London , say it is capable of carrying up to 15 people or the equivalent weight in cargo.It has a simple and functional twin-hull design is built using local materials and making it an affordable, versatile vessel ready for immediate production.To build the boat, bamboo is combined with 100% natural fibres and resins to form a strong building material that has structural properties similar to modern fibreglass and carbon fibre composites.The project was born from a design collaboration between Duffy studio and a new hotel planned for Bali in Indonesia called Living Waters.

    The Soviet Time-Slip Territory Of Transnistria
    Located on a sliver of land running along the eastern border of Moldova, the self declared independent country of Transnistria clings to its Soviet roots.

    Located on the border of the Ukraine, Transnistria has its own government, parliament, military, police and postal system, but remains unrecognised internationally.

    And this time-slip territory maintains a Soviet feel that has been described as "surreal", with even the flag sporting the hammer and sickle emblem of Communism.

    As the Soviet Union began to fragment in the late 1980s Moldova effectively had independence thrust upon it.

    A growing sense of nationalism saw a number of new laws proposed, including a move towards making Moldovan the nation's only official language.

    For many in the east of the country this was seen as the beginning of a process that would eventually exclude Russian speakers from public life.

    So in September 1990 the region of Transnistria proclaimed its secession from Moldova.

    Two months later, when Moldovan police attempted to forcibly remove new checkpoints to the region, a civil war was ignited.

    Lasting for two years, this conflict cost the lives of approximately 700 fighters and civilians.

    It was concluded by a ceasefire in July 1992 and although this tense truce remains in place today Transnistria's political status remains unresolved.

    Though it has all the trappings of an independent nation it isn't officially recognised by any other sovereign nation - not even Russia - and to all intents and purposes is still considered to be part of Moldova.

    Today, there is a heavy Russian military presence in Transnistria - an agreement made as part of the ceasefire - and Soviet soldiers remain a highly visible presence.

    'Turanor PlanetSolar,' the world's largest solar powered yacht, Brisbane, Australia - 29 May 2011
    The world's largest solar boat, Turanor PlanetSolar arrived on its first Australian stopover at Riverside Centre Pontoon, Brisbane, part of its quest to become the first fully solar-powered vessel to circumnavigate around the world. In its record breaking attempt, Turanor PlanetSolar will cover approximately 27,000 nautical miles in its effort to prove that current renewable energy technologies are reliable and effective and to demonstrate the potential of environmentally responsible mobility concepts.

    The multi-hull catamaran measures 31 metres by 15 metres and has a solar photovoltaic surface area of over 537 square meters, hosting 38,000 high-efficiency solar cells, making it the biggest solar-powered ship in the world. Founded by 'Turanor' co-skipper Raphael Domjan, Planet Solar will use the expedition to prove that current renewable energy technologies are reliable and effective, and to advance scientific research into the production and storage of solar energy. After embarking from Monaco on September 27 2010, the 'Turanor' has already broken two records: fastest crossing of the Atlantic Ocean by solar boat and longest distance ever covered by a solar electric vehicle.
