The Chinese restaurateur Zhang Lan, who was in Hong Kong this week, bought Andy Warhol's Little Electric Chair, 1965, for $10.5million

We see this piece of art being copied and printed off in mass amounts but I did not know that the original piece was worth that much. It is unbelievable that one piece of work can be worth 10.5 million dollars.

I still have some limited-edition bottles of Perrier inspired by Andy Warhol, but I do not know the relationship between the artist and the company of Perrier

The public will be able to see the life-size Mark Zuckerberg wax figure in San Francisco.

From adrenaline-pumping roller coasters to life-like interactive rides, Americans love big amusement parks. But if yet another turn on the Scrambler or ride on the swinging pirate ship is leaving you yawning, we've got some more interesting theme parks around the world that give "theme" park an entirely new meaning.

Like this a lot. Definitely added these to the bucket list.

As a kid I have always enjoyed an escape to a theme park, and these theme parks are so different yet uniquely engaging in their own way. Shame there weren't more like them where I grew up.

Trevor Noah is the favorite South African comedian who has sold more DVDs than any other standup on that continent. Fans recite his performances verbatim, share his clips globally, and have joined him in legions on Facebook and Twitter. Noah has hosted numerous television shows in South Africa, including the country's music, television and film awards, the South African Comedy Festival, and two seasons of his own late night talk show. He is also the subject of David Paul Meyer's award-winning documentary film You Laugh But It's True which tells the story of Trevor's remarkable career in post-apartheid South Africa.

Our lives, our cultures, are composed of many overlapping stories. Novelist Chimamanda Adichie tells the story of how she found her authentic cultural voice -- and warns that if we hear only a single story about another person or country, we risk a critical misunderstanding.

The Richmond Night Market is a Asian influenced market and one of the biggest in North America. I visited this market this past weekend while visiting cousins in Vancouver and got enriched in so much culture. Booths were filled with different cultural foods as well as arts. There was also a carnival area as well as a concert stage for different local bands to perform. It goes on all summer long so if your ever in Canada make sure to check this out!

For those heavily interested in Country music, Eugene every year has the Bi-Mart country music festival.

I wanted to attend this event last year as I love country music, but missed out on the opportunity! It seems like a very fun time and great atmosphere to listen to country music.

Im from California and when I came up here to visit friends last summer all I heard about was this festival, everyone said it was a great time and I can't wait to finally go to it this year!

This year's event includes 50 new films from around the globe, with over 70 visiting filmmakers and guests speakers who will delve into the world's most urgent environmental issues and most innovative solutions.

This is a really great event! I went last year with some friends and had a blast! If anybody is in the area I would highly recommend going.

Don't hover on the water's edge watching everyone else having a great time - start your own water adventure this summer! Boating lessons, kayaking, canoeing and standup paddleboarding - or just rent a boat or kayak and get out on the water on your own terms.

The Pocket is a student run organization that helps students craft their artistic visions on the stage. Each quarter, roughly 4-6 shows are produced in the Pocket, completely under the direction and operation of students. Many productions are original, some are new renderings of old classics, and some are obscure offerings seldom seen on stage, but they all come from the vision of directors, actors and designers just like you! The Pocket Playhouse aims to provide an arena for students to get involved in all aspects of theatre regardless of prior experience.

I played in a small group of strings and percussion with a pocket play, once! It was definitely a unique experience.
