Elderly women in South Korea still dive for a living—without breathing tanks.
They are the *haenyeo*, or “sea women,” of Jeju Island. Some continue this demanding work into their 70s and even 80s, diving to the ocean floor to collect abalone, sea urchins, seaweed, and other marine life.
Some descend as deep as 33 feet (10 meters), holding their breath for about a minute at a time. When they return to the surface, they release their breath with a distinctive whistling sound.
Their skills are built on decades of experience.
They know the underwater terrain, recognize marine life, and understand the changing conditions of the sea. This knowledge is passed down to younger generations, while local fishing cooperatives help manage harvesting practices.
For generations, haenyeo have supported their families and played an important economic and social role in Jeju’s communities.
In 2016, UNESCO recognized their diving culture as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
Today, this centuries-old tradition continues, although the diving population is aging and fewer young women are entering the profession.

Sydney Destroyed This Magnificent Theatre Despite Public Protests!
Opened in 1928 on George Street, Sydney's Regent Theatre was once one of the city's grandest entertainment venues. Its spectacular interiors, marble staircases and luxurious decorations made a night at the movies an unforgettable experience.
But after closing in 1984, the Regent became the centre of a bitter heritage battle. Despite preservation campaigns and public protests, its heritage protection was lifted and demolition began in 1988.
A magnificent piece of Sydney's entertainment history disappeared.

On December 23, 2019, just two days before Christmas, 65-year-old David Wayne Oliver entered an Academy Bank in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
According to police, he threatened a teller with a weapon and left with an undisclosed amount of money. But instead of making a quick getaway, Oliver walked outside and began throwing the stolen cash into the street, shouting, “Merry Christmas!” Surprised bystanders rushed to collect the scattered bills, and some even returned the money to the bank.
Oliver's unusual behavior didn't end there. Rather than fleeing the scene, he walked into a nearby Starbucks and sat outside, where police soon found and arrested him without incident.
Authorities later confirmed that some of the stolen money had been recovered, although thousands of dollars were still missing. It became one of the strangest Christmas-time bank robbery stories.

Suspected bank robber shouts 'Merry Christmas', throws cash into the air
A man with a white beard robs a Colorado bank and throws cash "all over the place" before being arrested at a nearby Starbucks, police and media reports say.

South Korea built an innovative 20-mile (32 km) bike highway running down the median of a major freeway between Daejeon and Sejong.
Shielded by a continuous solar-panel roof, the protected two-way path offers cyclists shade from sun and rain while generating clean electricity - enough to power highway lights, electronic signs, and EV charging stations, roughly equivalent to the needs of 600 households annually.
Access comes via underground tunnels, keeping riders safely separated from multi-lane traffic by barriers. This dual-purpose design turns underused highway space into both sustainable mobility and renewable energy infrastructure, showcasing clever urban planning that blends green commuting with power generation.

On Christmas Day 1950, four young Scots carried out one of Britain's most daring historical thefts.
Their target was the Stone of Scone, an ancient symbol of Scottish royalty that had been taken by England's King Edward I in 1296.
For more than 650 years, the stone had remained at Westminster Abbey, beneath the Coronation Chair used by British monarchs.
The group included Ian Hamilton, Gavin Vernon, Alan Stuart, and Kay Matheson.
While Matheson waited in a car, the three men entered the abbey and removed the heavy stone.
But things went wrong when the 152-kilogram block broke into two pieces.
Despite the setback and a nationwide police search, they managed to bring both pieces back to Scotland, where the stone was secretly repaired.
In April 1951, the stone was left at Arbroath Abbey, where authorities recovered it and returned it to London.
Surprisingly, none of the four were prosecuted. It wasn't until 1996, exactly 700 years after King Edward I took it, that the Stone of Scone was officially returned to Scotland.
