]]>The Store
You’ve probably seen the many different flavors of Ritter-Sport available at your local candy aisle. They make a huge variety of chocolates with everything from nuts to fruits to creme filling. At the store in downtown Berlin, you can sample a wide selection thanks to their bulk offerings of mini-chocolates. You can also take a photo with their iconic chocolate tower!
Make Your Own
If the mini-chocolates or what the store has to offer isn’t quite what you’re looking for, there’s no need to worry. You can simply make your own chocolate bar! The store has counters where workers will make chocolate bars fresh for you right before your eyes, and you can tell them exactly which chocolate and which add-ins you’d like. The whole process takes a very short time, and at the end, you’ll have a custom Ritter-Sport chocolate bar in a special package just for you!

]]>Bukchon Hanok Village
Located in northern Seoul, this historic village will give you a taste of Korea 600 years ago during the Joseon Dynasty. This was the residence of nobles and royalty when it was built and today it’s still a residential area! It’s a beautiful area to wander with cafes and a view of the modern city across the way.

]]>Las Vegas, USA
Unsurprisingly, the Vegas Hard Rock Cafe is all glitz and glamor. You can look through their wall of windows out at all the neon of Sin Cityโwithout sinning too much yourself. The cafe features a full concert venue as well as a dining patio to enjoy the warm Nevada air.
Rome, Italy
The Cafe found it Italy’s ancient capital is a one-of-a-kind mixture of classic American and British rock mixed with old Italian architecture. More importantly, this is a great place to view famous clothes: the cafe features a vest worn by Elvis Presley, a jacket worn and owned by the great Jon Lennon, and (not clothes) the bass used by Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers on their Californication tour.
Dublin, Ireland
Dublin’s Hard Rock Cafe can be found within its cultural quarter, Temple Bar, where many pubs and restaurants are nestled together for tourists to explore. It features memorabilia from Jimmi Hendrix, Elvis, and Madonna.

]]>Pierre Marcolini
Marcolini is extremely serious about his chocolate, so much so that he hand-selects his cocoa beans and roasts them himself. At his shop you can find beautifully wrapped chocolates made from beans from around the world, with a variety of natural tasting notes much like single-sourced coffee.
Frederic Blondeel
This chocolate shop is especially perfect for lovers of the Danish concept of “hygge”, which translates roughly to “cozy” or “warm and friendly”. It’s a lovely spot to sit and drink a hot chocolate, and to try their unique stuffed chocolates or other interesting desserts.
Try Out a Chocolate Making Workshop
If you want a more hands-on experience, skip the shops and go for a chocolate-making workshop. There are plenty offered all over the city. You can make your own chocolate or even truffles and candy, meet new friends, and sample a variety of types of chocolate.

]]>Copenhagen, Denmark
One of the central concepts of Danish culture is “hygge” (pronounced “hoo-guh”), a word which can be roughly interpreted as “comfy”, “cozy”, or “familiar.” Denmark has very little sun for the wintry half of its year, and as such, each and every business is designed for maximum coziness. Tables always have candles on them, and places are decorated with warm tones and great care.
Seattle, Washington
Seattle is well known as one of the rainiest spots in the USA. Residents get used to living in damp, becoming experts at staying dry, and knowing when it’s okay to get a little wet. Thanks to the rain, outdoor activities don’t abound in Seattle … but there are lots of awesome places to sit and activities to do inside. Since it’s got a largely young population, there are also lots of thrifty shops and new age coffee shops from which to watch the rain as it falls.
Cologne, Germany
Cologne has more rainy days in the year than sunny, but that’s no reason not to go. They have a cable car with beautiful views of the city even in the rain, and the largest Gothic church in northern Europe which is even more amazing to view in the rain. There are also lots of great indoor activities, especially unique museums like the Chocolate Museum, the Fragrance Museum, and the Museum of Applied Arts.

]]>Mormon Tabernacle Choir
Salt Lake City has a lot of historical significance for the Mormon community, and as such this choir’s shows are a totally unique experience. Luckily, between January and May, you can see them perform on Sundays or even sit in on a rehearsal for free on certain Thursdays.
Christian School of Ralphael Plescia
Don’t worry, this isn’t actually a school. It’s something of an art gallery and studio, belonging to Ralphael Plescia who has been making art based on obscure religious passages for the last 50 years. His art and the place that houses it are intertwined, with architecture and sculptures both on display.
Marmalade Hill Historic District
This is something like an “old city”, with older buildings including the houses of local historical figures. You can wander the streets and learn about early Salt Lake City, imagining what life would have been like all those years ago.

]]>Always Tell Someone Where You’re Going
It’s always a good idea to enlist your friends to keep track of you. Luckily you can send people your location so they’ll be able to follow your moves, and you can ask them to check in every so often to make sure you’re okay.
Always Meet Somewhere Public
Make sure to start your date somewhere out in the open with lots of people, so that you don’t need to worry about being alone with a stranger. Never go to their house or allow them to come to yours, and remember that you can always leave if you feel uncomfortable.
Do Some Googling
Before you start swiping, be sure to look around online to see if there’s anything people have said to watch out for.
