There are many interesting things around the world. Here is something fun to visit.

	The Piano House This House in Huainan City of An Hui Province looks like a large piano, with a glass violin in the middle. Some university students in Hefei built it and hoped to bring the city plenty of tourists. It works! Now it has become one of the favorites of tourists in China. If you are a music lover, don’t miss it.
	Singing Roads In Japan, some roads can play music as cars travel over them. Grooves are carefully cut into the road. The spaces between the grooves make different music as cars touch therm. The closer the grooves are, the louder the music will be. Drivers can hear the beautiful songs best when driving at 50 kilometers an hour. And all say they can make them keep wide-awake when they feel tired.
	Mr. Toilet House This large building in South Korea was built by Mr. Toilet in 2007. His real name is Sim. Sim built it to tell people how important toilets are to the health of a society. There is a Children Museum inside. And now it is a popular place for school learning trips and students love it. Opening time: Tuesday-Sunday, March-October 10:00-18:00; November-February 10:00-17:00. Closed on Mondays.

“Mum! I found one! I found a rock!”

I heard those words again and again last summer as I sat by the window, which faces a park. I know the voice was from Harry.

The Kindness Rocks Project started by a mom called Megan in Massachusetts, is becoming popular around the world. Kids, families and people of all ages are joining in painting rocks, hiding rocks, and finding painted rocks everywhere. Some post photos of the rocks on social media, and others just move the rocks in easy-to-find places for others to find. Some take the rocks home and share with their families.

Nine-year-old twins Harry and Hannah have painted over one hundred rocks with their parents. Most evenings the family and their small dog walk around with a basket full of rocks that they hide as they walk.

“It’s a fun family activity,” Hannah says.

“We will do it in the winter too,” Hannah adds.

“My twins loved finding and hiding the rocks in this park,” their mother, Judy says. “I love how something so small can bring a smile to my children’s faces. In return, they learn how to give back to others.”

Kavin, age thirteen, and his ten-year-old brother, Jayce, have also painted many rocks. They love to hide rocks and look for rocks with their mom and dad. When their grandmother visited, they gave her painted rocks to take hone and hide in the town where she lives. When asked how many rocks he painted, Jayce says, “Believe in me! I had more than 30.”

92-year-old Georgia, Kavin’s grandmother also says, “There are many ways to reach out and help. These rocks are so magic to light up one’s day and they will pass you the same in return.”
