We spend a good part of the day (for many of us, too much of it) sitting. It’s bad for our backs, our hearts, our joints, our weight, our posture, and so on. I’m sitting right now as I write this. Still, the basic chair provides respite after walking for three consecutive hours, or a suitable place to have your lunch, and comes in all shapes and sizes. Some of the world’s best chairs look awfully uncomfortable, however, but they are truly works of art. Read about the top five chairs >
My first trip to London was back in 1997, when I was covering a conference about corporate image. Wisely, I added a few days onto that business trip for myself. Of course, that wasn’t enough time to explore one of the world’s greatest cities, even if I was trying to limit myself to, say, museums or markets or the theater. Although the tube is a terrifically convenient mode of transportation to reach so many sights, London was made for walking, the best way to experience England’s biggest and best city. Even on my more recent trip to the British capital, I never knew what I’d stumble upon, from rows of bookstores to a museum of clocks. History seems to abound on every street, kept visible by the city’s fantastic architecture, in particular its churches. Read about the top five churches in London >
