MONOWI, USA
Elsie Eiler is famous in the town of Monowi in
Nebraska and everybody knows her name.
That's because Elsie is the only person who
lives there. Monowi was never a big town. In
the 1930s the population was 150 but over
the years people slowly started leaving. In
2000 there were only two people left; Elsie
and her husband, Rudy. When Rudy died,
Elsie became the only citizen.
THAMES TOWN, CHINA
Shanghai is one of China's biggest cities. But
just outside of Shanghai is a rather unusual
town called Thames Town. It cost £500
million to build and it is part of their 'One
City, Nine Towns' project. When you walk down the streets
there you might forget you are in China. You might start
thinking you are in England.
That is because Thames Town is a copy of an English town.
The streets and the buildings all look English. It has red
phone boxes, London street signs, fish and chip shops and
English pubs. There are also statues of Harry Potter and
James Bond. Elsewhere in China, you can find the Eiffel
Tower, an Austrian village and even Stonehenge.
SHEFFIELD, AUSTRALIA
In the 1980s, the citizens of Sheffield on the
Australian island of Tasmania decided they
wanted more tourists to visit their town. They had
an idea to turn their streets into an outdoor art
gallery. They asked artists to paint huge paintings
on the walls around town. Children from the local
school helped too. They painted little murals on
the rubbish bins. There are now more than 60 of
these murals, which show important scenes from
history. The plan worked and these days about
200,000 people visit Sheffield every year.
ROSWELL, USA
Some people believe that in 1947 an alien
spacecraft crashed near the town of Roswell
in New Mexico. They believe that the American
military seized this UFO and took it to a secret
place outside of the town. These days Roswell sees
many tourists who are interested in life on other
planets. There are many shops that sell souvenirs
and there is one fast food restaurant with a UFO
theme. There is also a museum about aliens.
