Forget Disneyland, this underground theme park in Transylvania is way cooler

If you have the urge to play mini-golf, paddle around a subterranean lake, go bowling and ride a Ferris wheel, this wonderland in Romania will keep you busy.

Called, Salina Turda, the defunct salt mine is located deep underground the Transylvanian countryside. Visitors enter the submerged theme park via an elevator built into centuries-old vertical shafts that used to carry miners, and are slowly transported 400 feet into the ground. It's open year-round, and aside form the above mentioned attractions, you'll also find an amphitheater, ping pong tables, basketball courts, a carousel, a spa, and a swimming pool. If you're looking for a totally unique experience, then this could be it.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

This cafe in Tokyo looks like it's from a cartoon

The interior of this newly-opened tea house in Tokyo's Shin Okubo district is designed to look like a two-dimensional cartoon. From doors and walls, to tables and chairs, each item inside the 2D Cafe is painted in plain white with soft, black edges. The restaurant offers milk tea, tapioca, coffee, fruit juices, and shaved ice desserts. The only thing that I don't like about the cafe is the space. The tables are so close together that you can hear the most private details of strangers' lives whether you care to or not.

Thai artist paints on mosquito nets

I find them quite intriguing, these ghostly portraits that Uttaporn Nimmalaikaew paints on mosquito nets. His creations look like a hologram, changing form depending on where the viewer stands. Overall, they're gloomy, haunting, and endlessly fascinating. I could stare at them for ages. [h/t: Colossal ]
