Aircraft Hotel

If you're thinking to yourself, "that's sort of a small window for a luxury hotel suite," well, you're right. But it's only because this room occupies the entirety of a repurposed Cold War-era East German aircraft. More images after the break...

OK, the view isn't anything special: the plane stays grounded outside the Teuge airport in the Netherlands. But the room itself, dubbed the Vliegtuigsuite, is spectacular, including three flat screen TVs, a Blu-ray player, a sauna, and a jacuzzi. Guests have access to the entire plane, from your king-size bed in the back all the way up to the cockpit. On Dec. 7th 2007 I post Plane Restaurent and this time a plane hotel, the world is really amazing.

Lovers Electric

An intro to Lovers Electric would be that they are a band from down under but formed in the old country (UK).  David Turley and Eden Boucher are the members of the band, and just to add to the confusion they currently reside in Berlin, Germany.

Apart from all that Lovers Electric do make good music. And they have a new album coming out any day now. Impossible Dreams.
