Safety Costumes

I love the Japanese for their creativeness! Somebody was clever enough to create an Anti-Raping/ Mugging costume. Not only are you disguised, but you blend into the surrounding by being a vending machine or fire extinguisher! Way to be!!

PBS

The Public Broadcasting Service is a non-profit media source. While you may think of it as the TV station that puts out the dull shows that'll just put you to sleep, you'd be surprised if you watch it now. They've got exciting shows that'll take you around the world with the best photography skills ever, debate the hot topics on todays political agenda, and show you how others live nationally and internationally. Plus, they're a great source for information.
